Let me just put it like this...in Northern Cali, the radio stations don't show shit for support...you go to So Cal and you can always catch some local cats on the radio that haven't blown...that's all I have to say. If you don't spend time in SoCal, you're not gonna hear what they have to offer. I frequent Southern Cali, I love the shit I've heard out there!!
Now don't get me wrong, I was born and raised in the Bay and I got nothin but love for the Bay...SoCal rappers just happen to have music that caters to the needs of my eardrums, ever since I was a kid that's how it's been, it's just my taste...and you can hear it in my music. I've been told by folks out in Long Beach and L.A that cats out there really feel my shit, and I can't say that a lot of Bay cats feel me.
