real simple...gotta have a movement behind you

Richmond is considered the south bay of the east bay if you ask me at least when it comes to music lol

i admit tho Richmond rappers are trash in my opinion but thats cuz everyone is on that shoot em up bang bang shit...im on it too but i can do way more and plus my flow is remarkable lmao

but yea get a movement behind you, spit that hot shit and let everything unravel

personally i dont listen to bay rappers period but when i do a south bay artist has never been in rotation...never really heard of any until siccness

shout out to metal mouth tho...they fucks with ya boy

It depends on the content if you are a "gangsta" rapper it does matter where you from.. you know just like i do the MAJORITY of the people that buy gangsta rap shit are people that are infatuated by that lifestyle and YES THEY DO go off image so in that case it does matter... gangsters dont BUY gangsta rap records lil whiteboys from the suburbs that think dealing drugs and people getting killed is cool buy it..

it IS about good music but people were talking about san jose rappers trying to make their city look like its something that its not


shit, there you have it folkz, what we really need to do step our murder rate game up in the south bay.....yall want mu'fuckaz to buy cds from south bay???...well grab ya gat and get on out there and shoot anybody and everybody you see.....kill kill kill mu'fuckaz....that's the only way well make it in this bitch...:cheeky:

@the truth, i feel you mane....it's too many squares out there that rather buy a cd from a wack ass east Oakland artist then a decent artist from else wehere....why??? cuz east O is so HARD .....shit is crazy ahaha.....

just the other day i was up in union city and this white cat rolled up on me try'n to sell me his cd.....a burned copy with his name written all over it....mu'fucka didn't even say his name but i heard 'east oakland' out his mouth like 10 times within' the couple minutes that i chopped it up with him as if that was gonna make me break bread just cuz ol' boy from east 'O'.....fuck that, but am a cooooo cat and respect the hustly and dont like to turn mu'fuckaz down so i shot him one dollar lol (he wanted $5) for the cd.....

Thas whats really real thou. Well put 211. I aint even gonna bring up the murder talk cuzz it doesnt even needa be brought up. It's the quality of music thas droppin'. I aint sayin' folx aint droppin' heat cuzz they are but they needa step it up a hole nother level. It's a lotto. The one that has the right sound & drops fire that makes muthafuckas frm other areas be like "You heard so & so frm the SB?? That doods raw!!" will win the jackpot. We needa live up to the Bay's image of originality & find what fits for us as a hole (Southbay).

&also another thing, no throwin' at jabs at anyone in particular but dont hate on the Southbay. We got the largest city in the Bay for anyone to come out & play & make your numbers a little bigger than what they are. We got some loyal ass Bay Area rap supporters & if it wasnt for the Southbay, your favorite rappers wouldnt be making AS MANY sales as they are.

only south bay artist i ever listened to was peanut butter wolf... other then that the first word that pops in my head is "corny" when i hear some one mention some shit in san jose/south bay. I dont know any current south bay artist besides the ones that post on siccness and traxxamillion, who i dont really feel either.


and you mos def aint gotta be "hood" to make good music or sell records, but u do gotta have your own swag for me to even consider taking time out of my life to listen to some shit i never considered listening to before.. andddddd i see that no where from south bay artist.
i do like Assassins production though.. but other then that.. the south bay might dont got it.

bein that im from the Bay and moved to the south bay later on in life, i feel i can sum it up. First and foremost, no one makes enough noise outta the south bay for people to even keep an ear open for the artists. Secondly, unlike most of the remaining BA most of its artists are Latin and thats a different struggle in its own essence. Third, I dont think most people consider San Jose and the surrounding area as bein truely apart of the Bay - even to this day.

if u want me to elaborate I will.

i think it may be image.....

weather its true or not, the rest of the bay doesnt view san jo as hood, but SOME artists try to make it seem that way. takes away from the credibility. its hard to rap about your struggle when you got the murder capitals of oakland, richmond and frisco surrounding you. i think south bay artists that just keep it 100 and not overdo things will be able to shine. its talent out there, and the cats who keep it real are gonna win

Real talk^^^^
