The thing is no one really gives a fuck about an artist's regional demographic anymore. It isn't about being from the bay, it isn't about about being from LA, it isn't about about being from NYC, it isn't about being from ATL, etc, etc. That shit is played out and the only people who care about stuff like that are stuck in 1996. So the answer to your question is never. But will someone from the bay be a major factor in the music industry? That's a possibility because there are quite a few young cats out their grinding that think outside of the box with their music, and maybe even more importantly outside of the bay.
The biggest "rapper" in the world is from toronto LA in all honesty doesn't have an indie grind to make it in LA you have to have a dre co sighn but then again nobody besides game is signed to a major any more Texas is alot like the bay but for some reasoner get more widely recognized then a bay artists ATL they support their own play their music radio club and strip clubs NYC will always be a major factor

Everything being said is hypocritical how many times is it said in this forum that an artist needs to go back or continue to make his original sound from personal experience

Are you still signed to Sony or did they release you?
alot by rappers just need to stop looking at it as a territory thing and make universal music the world can feel, bc at the end of the day majority of this generation dont give a shit where u from or what kind of background you have they just wanna dance and if the hoes think the rapper sexy or cute then further he advances. I heard hoes say such n such is sexy and not even resight a line in the song.
That sums it up - no region will dominate again because there aren't really regions anymore. The South dominates due to sheer demographics - hip hop music has crosseda lot of racial and cultural boundaries but the reality is that most artists are still black, this will continue to be so for the foreseeable future and the South is the region with the largest Afro-American population in the country. But this will be the major reason why most rappers will be from there, not any unique style attached to a location.
I agree, but in the end it really depends on how far that artist wants to take it. A lot of music now is becoming just music if you will. Songs are being created for simple entertainment. The whole, I'm a real ass G & not a studio gangsta days are far gone. The Majority of people, radio stations & A&R's don't want to hear that now.
Today's music scene is changing even more. It's changing so much that it's pushing the artist to really become artist and create. Use your head and create a song without telling me about your gangsta / hardcore life.
Respectfully it'll be like break dancing. It's still going on today, but not as popular as it was in it's hey day. Now we deal with jerking & shuffling which technically is uprocking if you ask me.

i think any artist can make it if they willing to. the music doesnt matter obviously. so you need to rock some pink panther skinny jeans, matching barrio hyphy pointy boots, with the artist formerly known as prince blazer with the ruffle shirt, and a mad hatter top hat with a crazy looking wooden cane. a big ass rodeo belt buckle. make a few videos of you rapping and you should be good. lol the sad thing is that someone that does this will have a real chance of making it regardless of their talent because nowadays its considered talent for people to get exposure any which way possible. in other words sell-out.
motherfucking THIS!
what people fail to understand is the rap game is flooded so badly it makes hurricane katrina look like a splash in a pond. rappers need to think outside the box if they want to SELL and do something DIFFERENT. It's not the 90's where people cared about east/west that shit died almost a decade ago..
Orginality is what is needed but it is so hard because how can you really seperate yourself from all the styles? I can understand what rappers are going through that know this, it's not easy but it can be done!
Take a look at the audience of music nowadays.all the fans that actually buy music and support artist are the skinny jeans swag van wearin etc type of cats, basically everyone has there favorites like drake, Lil Wayne etc so to catch someone's attention you gotta come with some shit that sounds better than drake or Lil Wayne's music to get that fan interested in your music..not sayin be like drake but come with some shit that's gonna make someone be like aww drakes hella weak you heard that new song mr kee made etc...a good example is berner, he has to be one of the smartest and most fastest rapper to ever reach the status that he's in right now..networking with the right artist staying humble and original is the key to success..
Maybe bring the hyphy movement back, look at the buzz that got the bay when it first started.not on no goofy shit but all people care about are songs they can gig to when they in the club.make a song/ music with the right energy it's bound to get a good buzz.like 40s tell me when to go that shit was always on MTV and got the bay noticed on a national level.
