Title: OK, so I tried out the new E-40 album...
Post by: Eihtball on March 15, 2006, 08:32:25 PM
...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.

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.

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.

Post by: TOOTHBRUSH on March 16, 2006, 10:29:19 AM
it was ok i was expecting more. 40 comes tight as shit but overall there wasn't alot of standout tracks and the hooks were kinda boring.  And i like alot of the hyphy music, the federation album from a few years ago shits on this.  to bad there wasn't more rick rock and bosko production it probably would of turned out better

Crunk my ass! were way more lyrical than them south niggas. The bay is where all the game comes from. Pac taught niggas how to ride and 40's always taught niggas how ta  grind

people forget that E-40 is trying to bring the bay back, so he's trying to make his music appeal to the whole country so he uses lil Jon beats but still keeps it bay on the music with the slang and culture. But the whole Bay sounds different to crunk. But of course some of E -40's shit is gonna sound like its from the south when its producred by the king of crunk Lil Jon but the Rick rock beats still sound bay. Just like Games album sounds east coast when most of his album is produced by Just blaze and the east coast producers that were on it but it still sounds west with the dre beats.So whats the problem????? the underground bay sounds 100% bay like Jacka and Yukmouth,etc.. Just like the west underground like Crooked I and the rest sounds 100% L.A. music.
so stop hating artist is just trying to blow up and put they area on then they do what they want (and if u stuck in the 80's then listen to the chronic 100 more times).
