Do you think E-40 Sold Out.

I'm not denying that other regions have great artists. They obviously do. But what I'm saying is that if I were getting shipped to an island for the rest of my life, and I could only bring 300 songs with me, and I had to choose between A) 300 songs all from NY artists or B) 300 songs from anyone but NY artists, I would go with A without even thinking about thinking twice.
And that's what makes people different.

I need at least 200 songs between tupac, snoop, dre, cube, nwa, quik, short, 40 water.. and the list goes on.

You can't attack people on how they view music. Calling bay area heads stupid for claiming their music to be the best is wrong. Even if it is true theyhave the right to think that way. You like NY music and you call it the best. Nothing wrong with that at all. But throwing other regional fans under the bus iswrong.

i'm from the bay/rep my hometown all day, and listen to music from all reigons.

i feel bad for bad for ppl (whether their from the bay, new york, anywhere) who have too much pride in their own city, and only likes music in their own citybecause they wanna "represent." ahah.
 
Damn people still crying over this

Sure, they ain't getting connected on that main event scene like all these other rappers but that says nothing about their rapping ability...I think people say this to comfort themselves or they give themselves a reason not to listen to it..."oh well, he hasn't had a hit since '03 so he MUST be garbage" "well Jada hasn't had an album that went plat yet so he MUST be garbage".....

Dudes are misinformed...

I'm not trying to equate album sales to skills necessarily; what I am saying is that NY dudes gas up everyone. EVERYONE. You put a punchlineon a mixtape, and man you all of the sudden top-10. Sure, it's clearly opinion and we can back and forth on that, but if dudes were as good as yall makethem out to be, I have a feeling we would hear more about them. But we don't.

Anyway, my whole point, when I responded to Starvin', was that this idea of Bay dudes hyping up all Bay rappers isn't exclusive to us. In fact, itseems more prevalent to NY dudes imo.

Deuces, so you think no bay n' can rap?

Honestly, I think your on that "trying to be different" thang since you from the bay. You must be a square or something if you didnt go hella dumbwhen you heard some *%%! slappin in the club or at a party. Maybe its just me tho.

I mean I mess with NY rappers. Some of my Fav rappers are from NY. Hell, every part of this country. But dawg, you didnt listen to that old school mob musicthe bay had/has? *%%! was raw. You gonna tell me dudes like Clyde Carson, Yukmouth, Ya Boy etc. aint hot? or never were?

Or do you base your opinions off of the bay dudes that you hear on the radio? Cus its not that many.

Yeah, I'm a square because I act like a civilized humanbeing.

Trust me, i'll be found dead before I ever get caught "going hella dumb at a party listening to a bay area hyphy song."

And I'm on that "trying to be different" tip?Naw. If anything, all you Bay Cats are on the "trying to fit in" tip, because that'smy only theory as to how people can stand Bay music. A few people thought it was cool, and then the squares who can't form their own personalities followedsuit in order to be more accepted. That's honestly my opinion.

And do I base my opinions from what I hear on the radio? I haven't listened to the radio for over 2 minutes since 2002, unless it was a sports game.

Ok, well forget about the part you highlighted. Im just trying to get what your saying. To me, you just seem so anti bay/music yet beingfrom the bay yourself.
Is it hyphy music you cant stand? Because yea some of it is garbage ill admit that but it isn't even relevant anymore. Or is it just any rapper comingout the Bay Area you wont listen to? Those dudes I named up there are just some that are raw.

See, you sound just like the folks I know. What does me being from the Bay have anything to do with the sound of the music? Is it supposed tosound good because the artist who recorded it within 30 minutes from me? Is that supposed to make the lyrics sound more raw? Is it supposed to make thepunchlines punch harder?

I didn't say or mean it like that now. So slow your roll. Your so quick to jump on anything against the "bay".
laugh.gif


Like I asked you before. Is it hyphy music that bugs you? Or ANY rapper coming out the bay you dont like?
 
Hyphy music I cannot stand period.

As for non-hyphy music, none of these bay artists impress me. They might have a song or two that's cool, but no consistency. I can't imagine one ofthese guys' comes out a with a decent album.
