You're from Cali so obviously you're a bit biased, but outside of the local market, nobody cares about the bay.

I'll still give y'all bay area cats props for being the first to create matter :salute:

Most of the rap music you hear damn near everybody using now (yg, mustard, Chris brown, tyga, dej loaf, big sean, Drake, I could go on) have all adopted the bay sound that we started in the early 2000s breh.

Why do you think big sean put e40 on that single.

We got Drake shoutin out Mac Dre and doin videos in the bay. 2chainz biggest hit "I'm different" was bay influenced. I could go on breh

People that rap tend to have an appreciation for the bay's contributions, but the average fan doesn't give a fukk . That's just the way it is and always will be :yeshrug:. The more you argue it, the more people think it's getting under your skin. I stopped caring a long time ago personally.

I do care about preserving is history, but it's futile to think that people not from here will ever see it from our perspective. Our sound has always been very regional and I can see why people don't appreciate it if they didn't grow up with it. Just like anything else, most things won't be accepted by the masses until it's being forced feed down people's throats. That's just one of the side effects of being raised in a culture that values independence over anything else. Our sound has always been very raw, and since artists from here like to do everything themselves to maximize their profits, the sound and image will never get the finesse it needs to go mainstream.

Honestly love the bay and how it moves. We don't want all that attention. That's why most dudes be independent or at least all the respectable ones. Seem like everyone who matters in the game fukk with us we don't need cacs, 13 y/o girls and other dudes who ain't gettin no money to fukk with us we good in our lane.
