If a nugga never knew where these dudes was from they would think they were from the bay tho. Why? Because they immulate bay rappers. And IAMSU is better than all 3 IMO

So explain how come those bay rappers can't cross over?...

since when did Problem and YG crossover? Last time I checked Sage got more songs than YG on the chart. iAMSu gonna get his eventually too. YG Su Problem Sage all got a shot to crossover. YG got Jeezy behind him so that helps him a lil more also.

The nation has stolen the bays sound and thats fine. The bay is full of trendsetters, once the current sound gets played out the bay will create a new sound that will get swagger jacked. Yall may not want to give us full credit now but history will show who is influencing the airwaves and thats all that matters. BTW Sage The Gemini was not a one hit wonder, he had Rednose and Gas Pedal, the verdict is still out on his career, IAMSU has potential as well.

this is mentality....so somebody is doin your shyt better than you is that a win
thats like saying ny should be mad at the south for running with the 808 sound since we made planet rock
do u realize how bitter and unproductive this sounds

Bruh most of the songs you hear today from other regions are played out in the bay. Rappers out here are sick of those beats while the rest of the country is just now catching up and enjoying it. Even songs like gas pedal, red nose, beat the p*ssy up, etc are more evolved styles than the beats YG, Problem and all them other rappers rap over. As Jay Z would say, "we off dat" regardless of if it makes us less marketable to mainstream or not.

All those songs are homegrown except the Motto.

I wouldnt even say they are doing it better than us. YG, Problem, Yo Gotti, Tyga, 2 Chainz, etc all have features with bay artists so if they are so much better than us why reach out and put bay artists on the track? Its just that a lot of our rappers out here other than IAMSU dont fukk with that sound anymore.
