Detroit rappers never even used to spund like Tee Grizzley or Ixewear Vezzo before 2017.

No...they spunded like T3 and Baatin from Slum Village, or Athletic Mic League, or Clear Soul Forces, or Frank N Dank or Phat Cat.

Detroit street shyt didn't sound like like that. That's the shyt that was popular with online hip hop purists.

@Grizzly already addressed this but the current style is directly influenced by the shyt Blade, Chedda Boyz, etc. were making

Optimistic But I Got Hands Tho
The connection between Detroit and Cali cities goes back years. From Motown moving to LA, Dilla coming to LA and blowing up the beat tape scene. Hell even Em going to LA to work with Dre.

MC Breed and Tupac
Magic Johnson and the Lakers
Draymond Green and the Warriors
Big Sean and Jhene Aiko
Chris Webber and the Kings
Pistons vs Lakers
BMF and the world

That's like saying the bay is just Souls of Mischief 93 till infinity you dumb ass culture vulture

wrong, those are hip hop artist, not street rappers, Chedda Boys and Blade Ice Wood was out way before them, and before Vezzo as Dough Boy Cashout who really started that sound

and you can't put up one bay rapper that sound like Tee Grizzly

them nikkaz sound nothing like mistab, mac dre, you can't even drop no bay artist to prove me wrong

Bay sound nothing like detroit which is why you have no music to back up your ridiculous claims lmao

Where is all this bay music that detroit sound like

it don't exist, E-40 the only rapper who got burn from the Bay in the D and none of these nikkaz sound like him

Spice 1, beats sounded similar to detroit beats in the 90s, because it was just a raw hood sound, thats really all they had in common

There was always two parallel scenes happening. The Slum Village / Dilla / Hip Hop sound was initially more popular to the rest the world but wasn’t popping in the city like that. On the flip side the Cheddar Boy, Street Lords, Rock Bottom, Nothing 2 Lose etc sound was big in the city and the precursor to the current popular Detroit artists. After that Team Eastside and Doughboyz became the bridge of what’s happening now. This is the first time really that the street sound is big nationwide but it’s definitely not new in terms of beat styles and flows.

The midwest in general has this weird connect with the bay in the streets and rap wise, been that way for a minute even without noticing the cross over with the different styles.

Less about the actual 'music' sounding like it's from the bay and more about the resurgence of that conversational, E-40 type flow that nikkas just tag on the bay overall instead of giving the individual his just due as an influential MC.
