what does GAMES 98K first week mean for the west?
- Thread starter NEMO
- Start date
It means nothing for the west.
LA is killin it right now with Kendrick, Blu, Dom Kennedy, and whole lot of other young up and coming talent.
The bay is pretty much a joke at this point, you have no stand out artist because all of these wack niggas sound the same and do the same cheap southern immitation. The beats are generic as fuck too.. No one's checkin for DB the General and cats like that because Gucci, Waka, and various other "trap rappers" do what they do..but MUCH better. I wont even mention sactown...I think T Nutty is the last "young" Sactown rapper that I've checked for...and that was back in 03-04.
The bay had it's opportunity but cats fucked it up by being corny and unoriginal with that Hyphy shit and turned bay area rap into a joke...
In the Early to mid 00' you had a nice ressuregence. Cats were steppin their shit up... Mac Dre, Quinn, Jacka, Keak, Guce, Mess, Sean T all dropped classic albums. The New Bay.. Frontline, Balance, Ya Boy, FAB (Even tho he's a corny coon now), etc were showing potential and getting recognition from the media. Rick Rock was becoming a house hold name, etc You had it...Then Mac Dre dies and instead of using his blueprint to keep the movemen going. Niggas took the WORST elements from his style and tried to run with it which resulted in some of the most laughable rap songs ever (Ghost Ride It). Not to mention the thousands of "go stoopid" esque songs with the oversimplified beats that sounded the EXACT same...
Fast foward to 2011 and your top prospects are Kreayshawn and LIl B. A Scrawny pasty white bitch and quasi-homo wierdo. LOL

people from the west don't know how to make music people in the national audience can relate to. period. that's that atl shit, they make music people can attach themselves to and aspire to be like. even that dumb shit. that's why kreay and lil b are winnin lightweight is because they're what these kids wanna be these days. they wanna party, they wanna be themselves, they wanna be little fake art rockstar weirdos w/clip-on earrings or w/e the fuck. that's what's rockin right now.
