The Bay hasnt come up with a new sound since the 90s thats the problem. The East came out with heavy samples and the sped up shit, the Souths got crunk, but the Bay doesnt have an identity anymore, it got flooded and everything sounds the same. Theres only a few artists out there trying to be the trailblazers, the ones mentioned like frontline, quinn, federation, keak...
I think lyrically the Bays starting to step it up to the next level
