Quote from: R-Tistic on April 27, 2009, 04:49:34 PMThanks 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.Awesome, I love hearing new fads where all the songs sound the same....

only a matter time..for ice t , spice 1 and bunch old disgruntled west coast rapper shit on it..
Quote from: 3rd Coast on April 28, 2009, 03:51:10 PMonly a matter time..for ice t , spice 1 and bunch old disgruntled west coast rapper shit on it..Add on 90% of the fans, LOL.But yeah...I definitely admit that this music is not "good" or anything special/groundbreaking, but that's not what it's about. We've been cryin about "Bringin the West back" for f'kin 13 years, when the West was only on top for 4-5 years....and out of nowhere, these kids started somethin that they love way more than anything we loved, but are pushin it 100% without even mentioning "The West coming back." If nothin else, people need to respect that.
that is sad that it is the biggest movement seen this decade considering I live in sacramento and have no clue what you are talking about or who any of those "rappers" are. Yet I still don't feel like I am missing out...
i think on the westcoast we got to caught up in being hard, gangsta, etc like niggaz don't dance! when this shit first start poppin (hip hop)it was about dancin and breakin, id rather see youngstaz everywhere emulating some dances and not gang banging, thugging, drug dealing, etc

We definitely clown their choice of fashion, and we realize that the music isn't nearly as dope...but I'd rather hear kids talkin about Jerkin than "f'k yo hood!!!"
