the self promoted rap is so cheap sounding, some of the rappers are dope but the beats are so fuckin bad, like that cheap gangster rap shit that comes out of the bay area. Do you guys actually vibe to that stuff?

dont get me wrong i love westcoats rap and bay classics, but it seems that in the last 9 years every bay area rapper is their own favourite rapper

the beats, what the fuck is with the beats .take the east coast, back in 94-97 the seld promoted independent artists beats where great and represented real hip hop sound, but that cheap bay sound is so bad

please advise

I agree. Bay artist have been sacrificing quality production for a while now. That's why it's hard to sell albums in the Bay. The fans assume 3 out of 15 song will sound good, so they download the shit. Most of the time, thats the case.

How ironic, you have so much to complain about Bay rap yet it kept you interested for over 9 years? Wow. That's all that I have to say, wow..

There's an upcoming producer called FADEDMONK that is a beast. He also engineers clean as shit. Just mixed down some of KAZ's new shit as some Thizz Latin Black&Brown joints.
Lookout for tracks that he produced...
is that that dude who was 14 yrs old and used to make some clean ass dragon ball z beats on soundclick

Be serious. The Bay production is wack. There are good producers in the Bay, but niggas don't be trying to pay for beats. I love Bay music, that why I'm so critical.

We can do alot better.

Half the guys you mentioned here aren't even from the bay

Just listen to Quinns last 2 CDs, Baileys new shit and pretty much everything the Mob Figaz have put out latley and you'll be cool

I agree though alot of the new bay music is crap, its hard to shop for shit since according to some people every thing is I quote "Stupid dumb retarded ass dummy slap" that shit is often misleading especially when they are refering to anything on Thizz.

everyone on that list has classic albums under the belts...94-97 had some classic shit but my question is these are underground albums what where u expecting to find on these a dr. dre beat? if you wherent listen to these at around there times of there realeases compared to new bay realeases older albums might sounds less appealing 2 u...its like a youngsta picking one of 2shorts first albums they sound genric compared to today but back then they where the shit and to me they still are!!!
