thats not the only reaSON IT DIED. A WHOLe bunch of garbage rappers started rappin hyphy....... and a whole bunch of people thought they should rap after they heard hyphy, and saturated the real hyphy wit shit..... some people need to give up on the fact they can rap. shit i tried and yeah i can hold a beat but that doesnt mean i got it.....lets be real there is prolly 10000 rappers in the bay and 8500 are garbage or should i put it like you shouldnt be rappin. not to crush anyones dreams but if you dont know science dont try to be a scientist. if you arent great at basketball dont try out for the warriors. stay playin at the rec center....basically if we left the hyphy to like keak, dre, dubee, diggs, hoodstarz, beeda weeda, turf, 40, short, maybe a few more (only like 3) i missed, it would have prolly been still crackin
