thats not the point morons, that club shit dont get play in my ride and most people i know dont get dragged into listening to that bullshit, i dont let anyone or any network dictate what gets played in my ride, that "club" shit has ruined rap, that tryen to take away that mob or hood or gangsta shit but playing that bullshit but the networks cant do anything about it cuz its being brought back, believe it or not G-Unit still make "gangsta" sounding songs and thats why some folks still like them.
If an artist is going to put his/her music out there for the public then they should know that they are opening themselves up for all kinds of criticism (some good/some bad). That just comes with the territory of being an artist and the A&R's you posting about know this too. This is a message board where people can voice their opinions and if they ain't feelin an artists music then they will post their opinion, which always gets associated with hate. I know I ain't gonna go out there and spend my hard earned money on some bullshit cd just for the sake of the bay blowin up. I'm gonna look out for myself and spend money on something I like.
As far as mob music/hyphe or whatever. There are still some good "mob music" out there just got to look. I really don't care for a lot of the "hyphe" music but if they blow up that's coo. It don't really affect me much though. I think people need to stop focusing on the bay blowing up and just focus on being original and making good music. Most artists who blow up and have longevity in the business are artists who have some kind of originality to them. Sometimes it may be the image more than the music.

So why should dude get out more to feel "hyphy" music as everyone is calling it. I listen to music from regions that I have never stepped foot in but I can still feel the music. My point is that music should be made to where everyone can listen to it... at least if you want to "blow up." If I have to be at a sideshow or a club to feel what you pushin then you as an artist might be going about your music in the wrong direction. This is just in general so no disrespect bro.
the problem is that its becoming formulaic. artists should be original and make music that feels good to them. it does become annoying when all of a sudden every rapper is making the same sounding songs talking about the same shit. they found a formula and theyre gonna milk it to fill their pockets up rather than make good music
you right about the a a&r thing a rep from ATLANTIC hit me Saturday concerning the beats by the bay soundtrack,real talk got a meeting friday at there L.A. office,i was just going to post about this but its only a meeting,noting aint nothing til some ink drys,crazy thing he hit me saturday during the holiday break the cat said he is on siccness daily,he had read a response to the beats by the bay film a month ago,seen the XXL write up bought the dvd from the website liked the film and wanted to meet about the soundtrack funny how shit can work
MOBB music is over....that sound is over...GET OVER IT!!!
THE SAME CATS THAT WAS DOIN the mobb sound ----> ARE NOW GOING DUMB and gettin' Hyphy...prime example (e-40, keak, mac dre)

i am salvadorean but thats besides the point. i don't like those songs because, i don't like the lame ass simple keyboard beat loops and weak ass lyrics just cause the radio and bet & mtv force feed some bullshit too you doesn';t mean i have to like it. the hyphy movement to me is some repetetive soundin shit that everybody is shamelessly jockin. lil jon started a trend with wack ass club music that i don't embrace. all that crunk shit and hyphy is just an extension of that in my opinion. saying that race has anything to do with it is stupid. don't blame me cause your favorite rapper can't blow when they sound like every other half assed jump on the band wagon slapped together bullshit. Its just sounds uninspired to me.
I like good music and the only albums i think that have been worth a damn out the bay this year have been z-man and zion i, both which had dope beats and original lyrical content, unlike the hyphy songs which ive heard.
