I never understood the hype over E-40. He makes no sense when hes rapping, the muphucka is like the porky pig of rap. The fuk is he saying in those bars?

[The Ill Mechanism]

they support their artist though. you gotta respect that.

you need to listen closer

TRue e-40 has terrible delivery (actually once you get used to it hes got flow) but if you listen to the lyrics youll realize quickly hes the only real gangsta rapper ever

Give him another chance and really listen cuz hes seriously underrated

[Wikkid Wiz]

DJ Quik & Too Short.
Both from the Bay.
And as much as people hate to accept it, 2pac is a product of the Bay.

Last time I checked they were pretty good.

DJ Quik is from Compton and Pac lived in the Bay for 4 years.

Quik.. You're right. My fault.

Pac.. Irrelevant.

[b. sunshyne]

even tho BK is a fool and is mad prolly cuz he got dissed by that myspace chick, i'll still respond to this misconception..

each region in hip-hop is on their own sh!t these days, with the exception of whatevers popular in the mainstream (50, ying-yang, whatever)..but the bay loves the hyphy sh!t cuz thats the scene out here..going out, sideshows, block parties, clubs wherever and drankin and smokin that purple..its party music and if u didn't get that, then u prolly never listened to it in the first place or are a square who spends ur nights and weekends on SOHH..

just how the bay area doesn't like or respect a lot of east coast sh!t (LOX, the WU, Beanie Sigel, Mobb Deep, Cam'ron), u don't like ours..rappers are a product of their environment and if u can't relate to them or their music, then obviously u won't feel it..

as far as E-40 goes, think of him as the west coast Ghostface..hated by some, loved by many..dude has had too many classics ('1 love' 'sprinkle me' 'captain save a ho' 'hurricane' 'playas ball' 'hope i don't go' etc. etc.) over the years and laid such an imprint on the game that u can't hate on him..dude is a pioneer and a living legend in the west


and like i've said before..i'm not really feelin a lot of the hyphy music (its coo for partying but not to listen to on the regular), but i respect it b/c people are finally collaborating to create a movement out of the bay that has a real possibility of transferring to the mainstream..



and btw..2pac was the best product of the Bay coming from Marin City

[RAYDOGG]

Last time I check The Bay had better MCs than NY, just ask Chuck D & KRS-1, the next town to blow will be O'Town.

[P D Krack]

naw
your loss

[eckohed]

DJ Quik is from Compton and Pac lived in the Bay for 4 years.

Whered he blow up?

Who ushered him into the rap game?

Thought so

anyways you cant front on the classics put out by The Coup, Pac, Short,
E-40, Mac Dre, Luniz, Andre Nickatina etc etc etc

The Bay dont make sh1t for everybody, they make sh1t for the Bay, and if youre feelin it then good, but otherwise keep your mouth shut about the dopest independant scene in the country.

**continues bumpin Nump - Grapes**

yes sir....

They hate now but watch em jump on the bandwagon when "Tell Me When to Go" gets a video and blows up

[Chino Loco]

the bay is aite...i never got into any of that sh1t till one of my homies from the bay got me into it. They def got their own style and i used to be a e40 hater also, but once i heard "in a major way" i been bumpin his sh1t ever since. Yall new yorkers need to open up to other type of sh1t. Actually im gonna be in nyc for the holidays and im gonna be sure to bring some e40 sh1t to bump hard in the ride just to annoy the fuk outa yall

[grock2727]

agreed, bay is trash.

[rezin]

i can't stand anyone from there except for lyrics born and zion i

[identity-x]

Digital Underground
Paris
The Coup
Del/Souls of Mischief/Heiroglyphics
Zion I
Michael Franti


all greater than anything that has ever come out of Louisiana. truth

[identity-x]

i can't stand anyone from there except for lyrics born and zion i

does Davis count as the Bay area? that's where Lyrics born is from I believe

[rezin]

does Davis count as the Bay area? that's where Lyrics born is from I believe


i guess i don't know for sure but he shouts out the bay so much i think he counts

[46&2]

bay doesn't go along with alot of things

That rocking ICE? never gave a crap about it.
Mob sh1t? whatever
Nice rides? They sport 4 door hoops or big blocks like cougs, stangs, larks, cuttys, etc.
hair? Them and N.O. seems to be the only ones sporting dreads these days.
That guy on the corner with the hole in his clothes and the hair with leaves in it? he's holding a couple grand.

This is a world away from what i see in LA. Kinda a culture shock when I first came. Everyone in LA seems to live beyond their means. up north a car aint sh1t but something to break and buy another. in LA image seems to be everything.

They bay don't even really know other music or culture is out there (exaggeration), this is what they do, they like it and thats pretty much it. let them do their thing who cares.

[46&2]

Davis is probably more like sac but Sac although kinda far is like the bay in a way. they share the same culture, music tastes, and have alot of affiliations.. oh and they still get blacked out for Raider games haha!

[b. sunshyne]

does Davis count as the Bay area? that's where Lyrics born is from I believe


i went to college in davis..that town is in no way a part of the Bay Area..thats sacramento territory and its country as fukk..got corn fields for days and the tallest building is 6 stories high..its not the same scene as the bay

lyrics born grew up there but he moved and connected himself in the bay so he gets a pass..

[LLC Rhymeslayers]

The Grouch is from Oakland, thats Bay Area. Mad talented lyricist and dope producer. Cop some of his **** if you haven't had a listen.

[Poisonpen]

this poster is just beggin for some Bay Game.

[Taadow]

Yer favorite rapper has bitten some bay sh*t ("Oh Boy", "It's All Good", "Fa Shizzle/Sheezy"). Also, SMH @ niccas clownin' E-40s' delivery and then listening to RZA.

[SunAlmighty]

You ever listen to this sh!t.


Best thing to come out the bay: Master P



Master P, is from New Orleans, Louisiana.


SMH.


You ever listen to this sh!t?


HYPHY?

WTF?

E-40.......SMH

SMH, you remind me of AZ when he was attacking 40. i guess because people actually BUY his shyt....

:huh:

[luchini]

aren't Souls of Mischief and the Luniz from the Bay? They had some classic albums back then..the Hiero crew is probably the best artists from there..

[b. sunshyne]

yeah if u like true lyricism..theres a lot of cats in the Bay still doing it..Living Legends, Grouch, Equipto, Murs..

i don't think people understand how much of a hip-hop city SF is either..the Dj'ing scene is huge and theres still a lot of breaking and tagging crews..the fundamentals of hip-hop are still alive and thriving in the Bay

[Blackgold]

Eurorap is far worse than anything the bay puts out, but E-40 is a very close second

[Yung Gotti]

I've always hated e40 but Too Short & The Luniz have classic records

[Jagz]

^ too short is really from LA.

bay area music is trash. nobody gives a flyin fucck about it outside of the bay. their whole culture is trash as well. they also like to bite alot. they bit the word crunk and made their own version of it "hyphy" how original.

You Bay Area dudes don't get it. We all know that there's a certain amount of quality that's out of the area, it's called Quannum. Y'all only pull that out and claim as a last resort, don't be acting like those guys are what's popular over there, we all know it's that weak ass hyphy sh!t and whtever you call the travesty that is E-40 and his crew.

[Mr. Belvedere]

Whered he blow up?

Who ushered him into the rap game?


What does that have to do with him not being from the Bay area? He wasn't FROM the Bay like dude said he was. He only lived there for 4 years.

[Bone Daddy]

Well he was actually from the east coast, but no one cares to have him on the list of east coast MC's, so you really have no point on this one.

[Mr. Belvedere]

Well he was actually from the east coast, but no one cares to have him on the list of east coast MC's, so you really have no point on this one.
The fuk are you talking about? I have no point? Dude said Pac was from the Bay area not that he repped the Bay, he said he was FROM THE BAY AREA. I corrected him saying he wasn't from the Bay area which is a fact. I didn't say he didn't rep the Bay area. My point was that he wasn't FROM the Bay area. So how the fuk do I have no point? It's a simple point and cats wanna argue it? For what? It's a simple fact. Tupaq wasn't from the Bay area. He wasn't FROM California. It's not a big deal.

Lets see....

Whos opinion should people run with?

Dollaboy, a poster who sits with his boys in BK and talks about suplexes, body slams, and sweaty men hugging each other in speedos.

or

Chuck D and KRS-One, two legends in hip hop and arguably the two greatest MCs in hip hop, who just went on record both saying the Bay is the best area for hip hop right now

The people need to vote on this.

[CEEJAMES]

you got to be a Certified Idiot to shyt on the BAY, regardless of their current state, their LEGACY cannot be denied, all this pimp shyt and slang (fo shizzle, pop ya collar) came from the bay.

Master P. created a simplified commercial version of the Bay Sound and Culture not to mention the INDEPENDENT GAME was first established in the BAY AREA..........as for E-40 say what you want the boy is original and ain't hurting in the pockets, puts his emphasis into REAL ESTATE not the old cliche' hip hop clothing line.

Maybe pop ya collar but not that fo shizzle sh!t. I heard it some funk record from Ohio from the 70's. The thing about Bay slang is that they are the first to take credit for it, that doesn't mean they created it. It's the same as people acting like Columbus found America, nah he just claimed he did.

What does them not selling records have to do with their opinion on what real hip hop is? KRS could hide in a cave for 1,000 years and come out and still know what hes talking about when it comes to hip hop.

Where is dilated from? Evidence and Babu are from Southern California I believe. Not sure where the other guy is from.

All the izzle type slang came from the Gap Band.

obviously u don't "all know there's a certain amount of quality" if dudes are hating on the Bay Area all over this board and in this thread, which was created solely to hate on us..

if u read my previous posts, i made it clear that hyphy is the movement out here, i didn't try to portray it any other way, just shed light on the fact that dj'ing and other true elements of hip hop that are lost in a lot of other cities are alive and popular in the Bay..they might not get played a lot at the clubs, but they sell-out shows and have a strong following nonetheless

and besides that how the fukk u know what poppin out here?? whens the last time u came to the Bay, if ever..just b/c u might know somebody here or read an article here and there don't mean u know whats up..just like i don't really know the NY scene (outside of the mainstream) y'all don't know about the Bay scene..


i don't think u could name 5 hyphy songs and u judging it already b/c u don't like 40..
