Detroit
St. Louis
Bullshyt. Bay area folk and Cali in general don't get no respect in the midwest. Good music will always get played regardless, but the streets know the SFBA is hub of non-blacks and wannabes, the bay gets no respect on a street level in the real hoods of America. This is fact.
Thats a lie the bay has a very strong movement in MO thats all they play....Bullshyt. Bay area folk and Cali in general don't get no respect in the midwest.

Felix Wayne Mitchell Jr. was born on August 23, 1954, a product of Oakland, California's 69th Street Projects. After dropping out of high school, Mitchell strove to pull himself out of poverty. Using his natural affinity for networking and organization, he assembled a backing crew of notorious criminals and dubbed them the "69 Mob;" the acronym "m.o.b." stood for the phrase "my other brother." Using the strength of this new association, he connected himself to drug suppliers, runners and dealers throughout California and Detroit, Michigan.
This shyt still funny 3 years laterI just seen one of these dusty nikkas say E-40 got a billion dollars in drug money from the 80s and that Mac Dre has a diamond album
what are we gonna do about these guys
BruhE-40 be saying shyt like slappidy dappity on a record and yall bay nikkas eat it up.
If you were up on Detroit in the 80s and 90s you should already know about the Bay Area/Detroit street connection. How do you think they got high-grade tree back then lol.
It was partly because of that street connection that they were up on Bay Area mobb music.
St. Louis is in the same state as KCMO bruh, our music been circulated all through Missouri.
You talking to the wrong person homie. Don't open up that can with me.
The Godmother was supplying Oakland like everywhere else. There were more drug kingpins in Detroit than Oakland, do your research. Detroit didn't get any plug from Oakland, both cities were getting it from the same plug. Don't mistake a mutual Alliance with putting someone on.
KC rocks with SFBA music but that's pretty much where it ends. A mainstream musician from anywhere is going to be fairly known all over. Like I said, E-40 and Too Short are mainstream, so that goes without saying. The midwest in general don't like Cali like that, musically or otherwise, I know this for a fact.
You keep mistaking networking with love and influence. Rappers shout out and reach out to the SFBA for the same reason rappers go to Japan and R&B singers switch to Gospel when their shyt don't sell-- The SFBA is a fan hub. If all an out of towner has to do to get money in the bay is shout out a dead rapper they never really listened to, of course you're going to do it. I laughed when out of nowhere Nelly tried to get relevant again by making a "bay" record trying to follow in Yo Gotti/Drake/Jeezy's footsteps. It's all tactics to get money, don't get it confused.
Obviously Oakland wasn't a cocaine plug for Detroit
And you don't know what you're talking about as far as Felix Mitchell, he made his empire off heroin not coke. Charles Crosby got his coke directly from Griselda Blanco but that wasn't until decades later.
And none of the nikkas music I posted had shyt to do with "shouting out the Bay". Oakland nikkas been fukkin with Doughboyz Cashout and other Detroit rappers and back in the day Detroit fukked with us.
Also fukk is you talking about, that Nelly record came out years before Act Right and The Motto.
You were insinuating that an Oakland dukes was putting Detroit on. Laughable. Oakland is nothing more than Louisiana and other southern folk that ran of
Of course. As far as blacks go, The Midwest is the king of the streets. Gentrified Cali blacks network with cities like Detroit and Chicago-- which are more true black culture hubs-- as a necessity. As time goes on blacks in the SFBA become nothing more than a hot plate.
The motive is the same is my point. Nelly was trying to capitalize off of the momentum of the times (hyphy), which is the same strategy that Yo Gotti, Drake, and Young Jeezy followed when L.A officially made the sound mainstream. The only difference is when they did it, it worked.
I remember that one thread where nikkas asked if Jay Z is on E40's level yet
Detroit been getting dank from the Bay Area for decades, that's a fact.
The Midwest and the South are the heart of the streets because they're literally in the middle of the map between the two biggest markets (California and New York). The fact that the situation is more desperate in the Midwest is a reflection of the fact that industry and "legitimate" money dried up there a long time ago.
The local ass nikkas I posted aren't riding no mainstream wave to begin with other than E-40, your point is a non-starter.
