WHO STANDS A CHANCE IN THE BAY?

On another note though, someone mentioned it already, Quinn and Mess have been in the game so long that I think there window for main stream has closed. People I think that can go mainstream but need to start talking bout things that "white" america could vibe with are Ya Boy and Taj-He-Spitz. I seriously believe these two lyrically, delivery, and sound wise its all there. Mistah FAB... Something about him says "Blow Up" written all over him but you the quality of his songs has went down with songs like "Ghost Ride It." I think its there for him but he's gotta get back to "Main Stream" rather then "gimmick." The Team and Fed are two completely different stories. We "ALL" see the potential and the music is there. The albums were all slappers and the talent is there. The flow is there. THe sound is there... I really can't explain why they haven't been broadcasted to a wider audience. If there was some one or a group to put the bay on its back, the movement on its back, I would most definetly put my money on these 2 groups. The bay has all the potential in the world along with the slang and swagger. Its all a matter of timing, ethic, and luck now.
TIMES HAVE CHANGED... THE BAY HAS BEEN QUIET ON THE NATIONWIDE RAP SCENE FOR A LONG TIME BEFORE NOW..... IT USED TO BE 2 OR 3 BAY AREA VIDEOS ON RAP CITY EVERY DAY. THEN THINGS WERE QUIET FOR A WHILE. WE GOTTA GIVE THINGS A CHANCE TO DEVELOP AND RE-INTRODUCE OURSELVES TO THE WORLD
I THINK IT WILL BE THE FIRST ARTIST WHO DOESNT DO HYPHY RECORDS. LABELS WANT TO INVEST IN MUSIC THAT CAN APPEAL TO PEOPLE FROM COAST TO COAST. WHOEVER COMES OUT WITH A MAINSTREAM TYPE OF SONG THAT PEOPLE IN OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY FEEL, ITS ALL GOOD. LET'S FACE IT, NOBODY WANTS TO "RIDE NY'S DICK" BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY THATS WHERE THE MUSIC DECISION MAKERS ARE..... ONCE WE CAN GET THE ENTIRE NATION TO ACCEPT ONE PERSON FROM THE BAY, IT WILL BE EASY TO PUSH EVERYONE ELSE THROUGH THE DOOR. THE BAY IS AN UNTAPPED GOLDMINE. ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE WE SHIFT THE FOCUS OF RAP BACK OUT WEST!
