You should really explore the wikipedia's entry on Bay Area hip hop and Bay Area hip hop groups Also check out thenationofthizzlam.blogspot.com and yaymecca.blogspot.com, they combine insight with a wide variety of relatively new music from the bay that you will have difficulty finding outside of a record store.
Basically, most modern rappers in the yay can be considered either hyphy rappers or "Mob music" rappers. Hyphy is a brilliant marketing gimmick brought to you from the same people that brought you crunk. Seriously...Too Short and E-40 both have their own labels with distribution deals linking them to Lil Jon's BME/Warner Brothers. This isn't to say that people in the Bay weren't going dumb at sideshows or ghost riding the whip or gas brake dipping before it was marketed; we've been up to this shit for a long time and its FUN! And some rappers in the Bay have an awful lot of talent: Mac Dre(RIP), Andre Nickatina, Messy Marv, San Quinn, Mistah F.A.B., Yukmouth. |
