i think the point of the the hyphy movement is not for people to imitate, or join it, but for muphuckas to realize that the bay aint no joke, bay can hold its own on the mic, an to respect the bay.....for the other areas to now officialy know that they see shit the bay does an copies or twists it to fit they image....its time to pay ya dues
People put so much emphasis on other regions stealin bay shit, but the bay steals slang, music styles and mannerisms too.
Where do you think the inspiration for "Grown Man On" came from? - Jay-Z
Ghostride the "Whip" - "Whip" is New York slang.
Kanye West made EVERYBODY want to loop up a soul sample and chipmunk it. Even bay producers...
Everybody region "Cake" (money). The first cat I heard say that was Dame Dash. I'm pretty sure "Cake" didn't come from the bay.
etc... etc... etc...
Bitch Please's initial post was on point. I just attribute that to mufuckas STILL not knowing what exactly they want. Do you want a sense of exclusivity with your music, or do you want it to get out there to as many people as possible so you can look cool and say, "I'm actually from the bay where the hyphy shit started".
If mufuckas would spend more time listening to the actual music instead of concerning themselves with bullshit like fame association and the artists' personal lives, I think that would force the artists to make better music.
