Worst year for Bay Area Hip Hop?
- Thread starter Baybidness
- Start date
I think that the quality of Bay rap is definitely improving...and it definitely helps that we are FINALLY getting some love on the radio !! So...I beleive its a work in progress.
Heard some great SONGS from The Bay this year...but not really many SOLID albums. I think that is one of our opportunities to improve...making great ALBUMS.
I think that with the popularity of club music growing...we have another great opportunity for some national exposure. And this is one of the things that we are doing well right now...making good music to dance to. So all in all...I think its a good time to be from The Bay.

zion i - true and livin
blackalicious - the craft
lyrics born - same shit different day
theres more, but these have been my favorite of the year
if everyone here would support and get behind these artists who are from the bay, and are actually putting out damn good quality hiphop, then i think bay hiphop would be alot more respectable nationwide. but if they dont talk about going dumb, it seems most of you dont care to realize that there are actually artists in the bay with true skills who put out quality after quality album. instead you focus on artists who are just trying to enrich themselves and get radio play. so they compromise their music and dont give a fuck about putting out a quality album as long as it sells, and then when its an album with only two good tracks youre surprised and think bay hiphop is going down the drain. its not. its still putting out good shit you just have to listen in the right places

i thought there was a lot of good shit that came out this year, i would have wanted to here some better thizz shit but i wasnt disapointed with what they put out. I would have also liked have had the keak and team cds suposed to come out this year like they were supposed to. I think there was a lot more solid albums this year then last year i wasnt really feelin much from last year except for quinn dre and team. i hope 06 will have a lot of quality shit.
BANDANNAS TATTOOS AND TONGUE RINGS, THE JACK ARTIST, ROOTZ OF ALL EVIL, NORTHERN EXPOZURE 6, READY FOR WHATEVER, BALLED OUT HARD HOOD CLASSICS, STILL CALI THUGGIN, SAVAGE TIMEZ, AROUND OUR WAY, SON OF A PIMP, BLOCK MOVEMENT, TRUE & LIVIN, ALL SLAPPERS!! IMO A PRETTY DAM GOOD YEAR FOR THE BAY, AND HOPEFULLY '06 GON' BE AN EVEN BETTER ONE!!
