I don't think we can have a King of the Bay until we got a buncha of bay rappers nationwide doing good numbers. Right now its the whos the king of the rappers who push 30k tops, ain't that much of a claim to fame right now. The day when average bay area rappers are able to sell 100K and the top rappers are able to go platinum thats when they will have good claim to call themselves the king.
TI didn't try to call himself the king of the south till he went platinum, same goes for biggie, Nas, Jigga and the long list of rappers who claim to be t6he King Of New York, these guys are doing it big time.
