In 2004, The Bay Area's Federation jumped off a movement with their song titled "Go Dumb" produced by superproducer Rick Rock. Fast forward one year later: Atlanta based Ying Yang Twinz' D-Roc, Ball, and Courny form the group Da Muzicianz, and set things off with their new song of that same name, "Go Dumb". Fans and residents of the Bay are in outrage once they hear this, viewing this as another concept or slang word being borrowed with no credit given to it's originators. Well, West Coast Rydaz decided to bring it to you from Da Muzicianz themselves, rather then let people sit back and assume things, or let a rift between the Bay and South come as a result.
Ball, of Da Muzicianz clears up their intentions with the song, and explain that it was just a movement they recognized and wanted to spread out to everyone else. They also mention that a remix with Bay Area rappers is also in the works! While no specific names were mentioned, we will bring yall an update on that as soon as we find out. Listen in to the statement from Ball:
Da Muzicianz On The "Go Dumb" Situation
D-Roc, who is one half of the Ying Yang Twinz as well as a member of Da Muzicianz, also had this to say about the situation:
"I wanted to blow up the Bay area for what they do. When I came and saw the whole Go Dumb at every angle and aspect, I wanted to make sure that the Bay area get the proper shine for what they created. I know that you feel that nobody will help the Bay area get into the mainstream, that is why I did it. If nobody else, I want the bay area to blow up because when I tried to explain it to someone else, they didn't understand it. I wanted to do a south version to help the Bay area go mainstream. I would be crazy to take credit for something that I didn't create. I thank yall for supporting my career and would never do anything to jeopardize what I have built with my fans in the Bay area. I don't think that we should jump to conclusions that I am on some thieving shit. So Go Dumb. Hanh!!!!!!"
