I agree the Bay needs rappers with more substance. However there are some out there that haven't been heard enough. My folks Sellassie is a rapper with great substance in his music. He calls himself a revolutionary but gangsta artist. I think its too many artists in the Bay and everywhere as a matter of fact that feel they need to prove how tough and gangsta they are in every song. I have also witnessed cats that talk about gangsta shit that aren't gangsta at all. Ive also seen cats go in the booth talking about I smoke big purp blah blah blah and these cats don't even smoke treez. WTF? Fake shit will never go anywhere.

BART as in, the forum you're in, not the train.

If you're hungry to hear something different, go look for it. The bay got the underground poppin still. The point I think you're making is invalid due to the nature of what you're looking for. The Heiros, the Grouch's, the Living Legends NEVER sold or made it into the mainstream. Zion I is on fire right now. You're going to have to look for those type of artists, like going to shows. Making that statement that we need more of this or that is plain ignorant without basing it off any facts.

Everyone in Hiero, The Grouch and the rest of the Living Legends, Zion I, Lyrics Born, there are a bunch of guys.

Hit Em' by Zion I and the Grouch is in the new Madden, and so is a song by Murs. Just thought I'd inform the people.

I agree with dude. More cats like Zion I. The Hyphy ain't doin it, cats who have solid lyrics and substanance will always be around, same way they are in all the regions across the country.
