turf to the club, 16's wit me, fly as this, all that old shit from ya boy is ill in my opinion; he still talented, but i prefer his older, grimier style when he was still in frisco and not hollywood'd out. he jus trying to get national exposure right now, its obvious, look at the songs he puttin out: songs that sample lil wayne, tpain, etc. ppl are eating that shit up, but i wish he went back to his older styles and switched his shit up once in awhile

Ya Boy is a good rapper, and really the only rapper in a while to attempt to get out of the Bay and go mainstream. He's a cool punchline rapper which is something the Bay isn't used to having. What I don't like about him is his lyrical content and how damn near every song is the same. I'm still a fan, I just wish he would rap about something else sometimes. But he's still one of the Bay's best young rappers.

Also I'm not really feeling this whole "YB tha Rockstar" gimmick he trying to put out. Kinda corny to me.

you the only one who answered the question in depth. Im a play devil's advocate. I think theres a lot of other rappers in the Bay that are better lyricists than Ya Boy and deliver their raps with way more style than Ya Boy. Such as San Quinn, Bailey, Toriano, Telly Mac, Devo, Seff, Boo Banger, RGeezy aka Mistah One, Louie Loc, Locksmith.

So what are you guys hearing Ya Boy execute that these guys aren't in your opinion? Im asking because you guys hype him up way more than these guys from what I notice on BART.
bro I am a ya boy fan just as well as I am a fan of most of these rappers you mentioned....BUT, for you to say telly mac, don toriano, or even seff tha gaffla are better lyrically then ya boy I would have to say that is madness....i mean come on Toriano???? that guy is weak he is not a talented rapper and damn sure has no lyrics that I would repeat...just my opinion

to answer your question tho Ya Boy appeals to a much larger audience then say telly mac or toriano...his style is more mainstream yet he still reps the bay...and while he does rap a lot about guns and what not it is his style and content that makes people fuck wit him...he is an elite mc especially for a bay cat....as far as him having a lot of younger fans I wouldn't doubt that either because he portrays himself as a young and hungry rap cat who can appeal to the style and culture of lets say the younger generation...there is a level of thought and intelligence in his raps also that toriano or telly mac cant fuck with....

wow i completely disagree toriano's rhymes and rap style go way harder than ya boy's but you're entitled to your opinion just like anyone

in my opinion ya boy shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as Seff the Gaffla
Seff's verse on the SFC is better than any verse i've ever heard from ya boy Seff's Livin Kinda Lavish go way harder than any ya boy cd

Ya Boy's content is his weakest point in my opinion he raps about gun fantasies all day
but i guess that's impressive content to you

bruh Telly Mac would destroy Ya Boy not saying that they should battle but Telly Mac's lyrics are way better than Ya Boy's to me but that's just in my opinion

i still can't believe you think Ya Boy got better lyrics than Seff WOW!!!!!
The level of intelligence in Ya Boy's raps???? Are you fucking kidding me? Dudes raps are all cliche stereotypical gangsta fantasies

ive heard people say ya boy from fairfield before but in that one song "evidence" from Chapter 1 the Rise Mixtape he talkin bout rumors that he heard about him and he says "i heard he from fairfield he aint from the city, he dont bust his guns he went to high school in south city"

i think we saw ya boy as our way(the bay's way) of finally blowin' up again... so we all backed him tough like we should do.. but this was all years ago.. not droppin' an album really hurt "i.m.o".. plus his last few mixtapes sucked big time.. locksmith is the new hope.

For all the Ya Boy haters out there. Think about it, if he was still in Frisco reppin, yall would change your tune. He's got talent no doubt in my mind. For those that deny that, are being biased!!! To say that he aint got talent is some hater shit. He might not be the best rapper in the world but he sure is one of the best "from" the Bay. and this is BART last time i checked!

ya boys alrite, nothing special imo, telly mac's definetely a better spitter
Telly mac use to be coo' but not really anymore, Devo was a lot better imo and was very underrated. Ya boy is raw, some of yall need to stop fucken with rappers that have them simple ass rhymes like Mess. Ya Boy is so much better of a rapper then Mess and Mess puts out more bullshit projects yet still gets more love on this site which is hilarious
