OK, so I tried out the new E-40 album...

[Eihtball]

...and I dunno what to think.  Keep in mind I pretty much never listen to the Bay at all, and only tried this because of all the hype y'all have given it.  But anyway, on the one hand, E-40's slanguage-rapping is cool and all, but this "Hyphy" shit?  Hmmm.  I ain't exactly feeling it, tho I'm not really hating on it, either.  Just strikes me as being a little outta character for Cali in general.

A lotta good party joints on this album, tho...that's about it.  Overall, this Hyphy shit hasn't really changed my view of the Bay at all.  The last Bay album I liked was "The Jack Artist".  I guess shit just doesn't appeal to me for whatever reason.

Bay and new york niggas always wonna bring up game when they talk about LA rap lyrics,Nigga try more like crooked i,Game aint the only rapper from la,how much u wonna bet crooked i rap better then e-40 and whoever else u put up against,

when it comes to rapping skills only, The Game >>> The entire Bay Area.   Bay has no rappers who could spit.

thats cause Bay Area music of today isn't westcoast but more dirty south.

san quinn's "Hell yeah" isn't a south record?? please that got that immation lil jon e-a-ski production all over it.

lynch hung and xraided rappin days are over.  yukmouth is the only bay nigga i fuck with. he doesn't seem to change his style just to sell a record like the rest of the bay.

[Detox Iz Not Active]

it's wack just like most of the shit out of the Bay area, the Bay just trying to copy the south

Man, you know I ain't like these other cats who are trapped in '92 and refuse to let the West move forward, but somehow, this Hyphy stuff just doesn't work for me.

[Don Seer]

i listened to this album again this morning. is it for the hard of hearing? at least half the songs repeat things over and over and over again... tiring..
