Somebody explain Cali rap for me

[MegaTronBomb!]

if you're listening to LA function rap, it's more about partying and dancing....

but the bay in general, has been making music to dance to since the early 90's.... it just is what it is.

The Bay and LA are nearly 400 miles apart.... they're two different worlds.

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

So yall telling me Bay nikkas go harder than compton nikkas that bang?

Compton is more notorious, but Oakland nikkas are just straight up savages.

DJ Mustard eating well all thanks to the e Bay music in the 90s, I got Short Dog's in the House in my car right now, but what are some of their acts right now? I'm not feeling SAGE THE GEMINI too much

Man I can't fukk with Sage at all, duke is ass.

The majority of music I listen to is from the West Coast but outside of Hiero I could never really fukk with Bay cats. Shorts got some dope tracks but I could never get into E40, Richie Rich, Keak Da Sneak, Messy Marv, Spice 1 etc

Im on youtube & Im looking at bay nikkas and they music is all bout dancing, then I look up LA nikkas and they on that gangsta shyt. Wassup with that?

They are two different parts of a state?
I didn't realize nikkas from the same state had to be exactly the same.

cause for the most part, in most states... different parts of the same state are pretty much the same.

people don't realize how far away the Bay is from LA, it's not like it's a few cities over... it's literally like 5-6 hours away

you gotta put that shyt into context to people not from there.... cause it's literally the equivalent of asking why North Carolina cats aren't like cats in NYC.

 

[MrFettuccinnePockets]

So many differences yet so many similarities between The Bay and LA.

 

[bl2k8]

I think when we talk Cali anything on here we need to start givin cats a map

shytttt Vallejo and Fairfield to LA is like a 6-7 hour drive without traffic..


it would be like comparing Cleveland to New York drive wise...

Dj Quik told us not to sleep on Oakland's gangsta 20 years ago


but back to @Purpdrank question why is La music on sum gangsta sh1t and Bay Area about fun... it has alot to do with some of the popular rappers that blew up first... lot of early people from Bay Area was bout having fun, pimpin, dancing, or just spittin game on the mic, most of the popular La cats was on sum gangsta sh1t

look at some of the early people that blew from La





some of the first people to blow from the Bay

Keak Da Sneak is another one. Spice, Young

The Bay and LA are nearly 400 miles apart.... they're two different worlds.

Both locations have kinda the same the same lifestyle "warm winters, a lot of asians and Latinos, same government, a lot of people was LA got family in the Bay and vice versa, both have a lot of TX and Louisiana roots, they both love Kobe ans 2pac and ect

 

[The_Hillsta]

idk about the bay being harder than LA.... i just know that the hardest gansta shyt that i liked came from black market records.... that shyt had me thinking i was a killer in junior high

 

[Money Be Green]

I ain't know Cali was that big. I thought that if Dre wanted to do a song with too $hort all he had to do was drive like 15 minutes to the bay

 

[Pool_Shark]

I think it has to do with the weather. you go up there its cold and cloudy all the damn time it looks like its gonna rain everyday and down here its sunny and warm most of the time. Tried living up there but its to depressing
