"bring the base back" is the hyphy cut of the decade. sach – totally agree about rick rock. why he isn’t a wanted mainstream producer is a testament to the underrated bay scene. “bring the base back” is the hyphy cut of the decade.

The majors were banking on hyphy being the next big thing and when that record wasn't nearly as successful as they thought it would be, they kind of abandoned it. And how ridiculous that Saigon still... doesn't have a major album release. I remember he was supposed to be the next big thing in like '04-05 and its almost a half a decade later and he never got release. I would say Papoose, too, but Paps ALWAYS sucked.

The climate at the majors had more to do with the scene not taking off nationally (The Feds getting delayed and denied sample clearance, Mista Fab getting the Saigon treatment at Atlantic).

Not saying it's bad in the slightest (strong 3.5 to low 4 imo) but an album's worth of Turf is tough to take and the production is a little scattershot. The album that SHOULD'VE brought Hyphy to the next level was The Federation's "Its whateva" but it totally didn't live up to "18 Dummy" and "Stunna Glasses". Those guys fucked up, which sucks because if there's ANY producer this decade that deserves props/success for his groups it's Rick Rock. While I'm on a rant, I should point out that Turf, Keak, 40, The Federation, Mistah Fab, The Team and all of these other cats totally called the space/hood aesthetic that blew up post-Weezy. The mid 00's Bay was seriously under appreciated. You know, everyone seems to love that Turf album but it didn’t quite do it for me.
