Are you that dikk rider that used to be all in the worldstar comments anytime a bay artist's video was posted? The screen name slips my mind at the moment but the avi is familiar.
edit: Hartford Ave was the name

Been a min but the thing is we dont care about the billboard numbers.
Its all about money and staying true. In other words if a bay rapper get hit with the shmurda special he'll make bail.
Billboards aint making you money.

when did the bay ever put up a stream of plat albums? We had some due to the times - when everybody sold - but yall are proving nothing wit this thread. Yall act like we're gonna come in here and act like the bay had a run comparable to ny, la, or Atl...yall need to troll harder, the bay ain't never been pining for national acceptance, nikkas out here is millionaires because of their independent hustle on their home turf. Master P learned the whole game out here, there's a reason the bay gets respect without ever having been a key national marketCompared to what we use to yeah i'd have to aagree

NY is supposed to be the linchpin to this hip hop shyt yet outside of acts established in the 90's (jay, Nas, etc) and nicki minaj (who got put on by the south and David guetta
) that city hadn't mattered in close to a decade. That's famished. The bay always been Cheesecake Factory levels of success, while ny went from filet mignon at Ruth Chris to canned corned beef at shop n save real quick, how you gonna be the pioneers yet on the outside looking in? Got ny artists doing interviews on ny radio begging for spins, nef the pharaoh isn't begging KMEL to play his shyt

Short went platinum six times
40 went platinum once
The Luniz went platinum once
Hammer probably went platinum three times
Every Pac album is Platinum
I think
Spice 1 never went platinum
I bet, excluding Pac and Hammer, there's no more than 10-15 Bay Area platinum albums. Total.
Last one being Short in 96
Hammer was the first rapper to ever go diamond fwiw. But I guess it's true that when you're first, you get it worst. Make fun of him all you want but he milked the fukk out of his dance/rap routine during his run.

Dude laid the blueprint...come 1998-08 rappers were endorsing any and everything ended the sun, yet hammer got called out for "going pop", now these dudes name drop the shyt outta brands in hope of getting official deals.

the bay is slacking a bit in both perspectives.
The Bay never took over rap but they were always in the mix Including having the best selling hop album of all time before Eminem bit the scene
