I just listened to this song on youtube. This shit ain't gonna start no west coast movement. Its just another extension of the hyphy movement. Just another song to put a dance to.

Because we've NEVER had a f'kin local sound!

thats waz upagain from a few spins of listenin to this "new movement of muzik-its new to me) im not feelin itbut if it sells, i guess whoevers behind it, go head and push itbut at the end of the day, what will bring this coast back is str8 bangers from wc, ice cube, xzibitfor exampleback in 2000 when xzibit did the whole x marked the spot movement (haha jus named it that)aite he had 3 singles1.x2.front 2 back3.get your walk onaite right there you got 3 bangers, to me they were 3 anthems by 1 rapper from this coast. they werent 100% gangsta but they were banginget your walk on, i mean i seen and watched cats all over the world do the c-walk to that shit. so we had muffuccaz from different regions doin what he had initially put out there as song. of course nwa, king t, wc, cubes, mack 10's etc.. did it years before, but that era was crazy for us and fresh and that sound is still fresh so bottomline i think that sound/movement needs to be brought back wit todays sound, and it can be done. wc's last album is a example of what im talkin about.

Only diff is they say jerkin in the hook.
niggaz been jerkin out here for about 2 years now, Problems I'm Toe Up is a big Jerkn song...as far as going nation wide Spider & Crash gotta a group outta carson called Team Legit and they have a song called turnt up and i think they got a big deal for them! but yeah the jerkin movement is about to blow up, you can't deny it
Thanks to Youtube and even Myspace...the Jerkin movement here is easily the biggest local sound and culture that L.A. has seen since Gangsta Rap, and that's without question. Even though it's only in L.A. right now, and may not even blow up nationwide, we've always lacked a regional style of party/club music linked with a dance and fashion style/culture. The main song that's leadin the movement is "You're a jerk," which is the only song most people outside of L.A. have heard. There are about 20-30 songs that the young crowd here loves, and this is all they listen to and care for right now. While most West Coast rap fans are into the new artists and the ones we've been discussin for 4-5 years, along with the legends, the kids here don't care about any of that...they love these songs that are comin from people that go to their high school, that sound VERY amateurish and unpolished. Although all of the songs they love obviously lack the musicianship and creativity that much of our earlier music had, it has the energy and bounce needed to work for the dances and everything that goes along with it.At this point, I have very mixed feelings about it....the sound is nothing but an obvious offspring of Hyphy, and it has a slight Tampa Bay, Florida influence to it as well. None of the songs I've heard sound like anything I haven't heard before, and most of the rappers are average and below...but they have that L.A. local flow that I thought had been forgotten about. The fact that these kids have made it big without any radio or TV is amazing to me...and it's funny that these HS kids with NO deal, no mentor, and no major connections or relatives are getting WAY MORE requests and love than the numerous signed/unsigned acts we've spent the last few years talking about. They definitely need to evolve it, because all of the songs sound the exact same, and none of them are as strong as the strongest Hyphy tracks were. Here are the main songs the 21 and under crowd out here are goin hardest on.......New Boyz - You're a jerkPink Dollaz - Never hungryPheo - Hot chickCold Flamez - Miss me kiss meTay F. 3rd - ConceitedTay F. 3rd - Eastside stepVixen Ent - Toot my shitVixen Ent. - I need thatD-Lo - No hoe (Bay artist) - Remix ft. E-40Videos of the kids dancin to it....I wonder if Snoop will do a jerkin song...if so, this will probably make some noise, just as Hyphy did when 40 and Short used hyphy tracks for their main singles. I can even predict that Snoop's first single for his next album will be a jerkin type of song...even "Drop it like it's hot" had the same feel/vibe as a lot of these songs do.

Problem's track is major, it's a liiil old now but it still works and I still play it a whole lot.I honestly think it's somethin that you have to be in L.A. to understand...and you have to be around certain crowds to get it. I wouldn't expect a lot of the online fans to see the potential in it. I think the dancin culture has more potential than most of the music that's goin with it right now.

Only one I can tolerate is "You're A Jerk"
