im not a mod :lupe:

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 market

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 :mjlol:) 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 my radio begging for spins, nef the pharaoh isn't begging KMEL to play his shyt :sas2:
you hungry nikka comparin shyt to restaurants though:mjlol: nef the pharoah a random rapper wants spins from a radio station ya dont say..brilliant:mjlol:
the Bay's best rapper for the last 2 years has been sage the gemini:mjlol:
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.
whats A minute:martin: try a couple billion:martin:
schmurda dont make a 2mil bail but kreashawn and V-nasty would walked out the next day cool:martin:
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

Probably Too Short with Gettin' It back in 96. It's already been stated many times that we don't give a damn about being popular. Now answer my question, are you Hartford or nah?

For a region without a huge black population, the Bay is pretty talented. Sage The Gemini drops like 2 mainstream HITS per year, E40 is still relevant, Jidenna had a hit with "classic man", Kehlani is getting popular, etc...

Breh that fakkit ass classic man muthafucca from here? I hate cuz

I answered your question a few posts back.
Last platinum album was Too Short in 96. Getting It.
Excluding Pac and Hammer, I think only 40 and Luniz went platinum. That's two plaques. So the Bay never had a history of producing platinum albums. So it's an irrelevant question really. :manny:
