DPG DOES drop G-Funk tracks and it is one of the reasons I don't even pay attention to them dudes anymore. If Dre dropped a hyphy track you would probably bust a nut too. Dre dropped a G-Funk track, then yeah maybe I would "bust nuts over it(no homo)" as you put it. The reason: This is Dre we're talking about. Anything he touches is gold; you know it will be good. As for Snoop Dogg, hell no I wouldn't care if he dropped a G-Funk track. The reason I like Snoop is because he is isn't afriad to do something new. There is always something to look forward to, not the same old thing (unlike a dude like Daz or Kurupt).

people got the wrong perception of what the "movement" was. E-40 & BME were foolish to put that phrase up into the video. There are very few Bay Area artists who even do hyphy music ( E-40, Keak, The A'z, Sick Wid It, Mistah Fab ). If it was called the Bay Area movement, more attention would have been payed, even though the Federation did just sign a multi-million dollar deal with Warner. Groups and artists like The Team, Bailey, Ya Boy, Turf Talk, Balance, San Quinn, The Jacka and others are who should be having the attention put on them. The hyphy stuff is cool, it was just blown outta proportion because it was labeled as a movement, which is what it was never supposed to be in the first place. There are alot of diverse styles in the Bay, but with people thinking all they have to off is hyphy....then R.I.P.

BTW The Team sold 4,000 records in 2 weeks, not bad for an unknown group

[Teddy Roosevelt]

how the fuck can anybody say fuck g-funk?

The old stuff is all gravy, but do you still listen to new G-Funk?

Basicly how I feel...

G-funk is all I listen to still...on behalf of the west.

I feel what you are sayin as far as callin it a "movement"....however, the Bay has a MUCH better chance of blowing up under a specific style or sound, such as hyphy is, versus just comin out with various styles. The reason people outside the west are interested in hyphy music is because it sounds different from a lot of the music out there. Most people in the south aren't really lookin to hear Bay rappers who are dope lyricists, or who sound similar to anything heard before. Basically, the only reason the bay, and the west have any attention right now is because of hyphy. One reason L.A. has been dead is because there are too many different styles coming out, and nothing at all is distinct.

And for hyphy bein dead, yeaaah right...it's just now startin to pick up steam. I am in Florida, and people are jockin the dances and "Tell me when to go" hard as hell. All it needs to build up and stay alive is a few more tracks to get pumped nationwide.

[Active Ingredient]

just appreciate g-funk and hyphy shit for what it is and be thankful you're listening to it in the first place, even if u like 1 more than the other
