0:39
back to back Golden State Warriors come
0:42
on Round of Applause for that man I'm
0:43
just going to leave us right there y'all
0:46
right there D sharp is very essential to
0:49
the Bay Area music scene from the uh
0:52
events that he does the clubs that he
0:54
dejs uh the the team that he dejs for um
0:58
the conversations we have the fellowship
1:00
we've created and DP I would liken him
1:02
Mike Muse to Barry Gordy of the Bay Area
1:05
um in the sense that he creates
1:08
platforms he creates economy he creates
1:11
opportunity uh for striving artists up
1:13
and coming aspiring artists and he
1:15
utilizes his resources and his skill set
1:18
to bring them in studios and produce
1:20
music for them and the kind of songs
1:22
that could help their their careers
1:23
advance and he does it unselfish
1:26
unselfishly and I don't think none of
1:29
these dudes he work with gave him any
1:30
money I could see uh that why you keep
1:34
in people pocket oh man I'm just saying
1:37
I'm speaking to the fact that even it
1:40
ain't about money for him not at all D
1:44
sharp re and I in many ways you remind
1:47
me of King Tech and myself okay and the
1:50
the the movement that we were starting
1:52
um in the '90s and when we start doing
1:54
the Wake Up Show and the 10:00 bomb and
1:57
in La the 7:00 bomb yes sir the D get in
2:00
the crate show yes sir sway in The

2:08
the creative process in the bay the
2:10
conversation in the bay to put Spotlight
2:12
on other dimensions that were coming
2:14
from the bay was it just two or three
2:16
artists that were incredible out of the
2:17
bay but not all the artists got the
2:19
exposure and with your platforms you've
2:21
been utilizing it properly to bring out
2:23
some of the most magnetic some of the
2:26
most fierce some of the most feared
2:29
Talent MC's out of the bay Mac Arthur

Richmond Bay Area like San Francisco all
2:56
of that stuff it caught on fire like a
2:57
couple years ago and they had to rebuild
2:59
it and all that kind of stuff but uh
3:01
yeah that's what we're named after and
3:03
um it just represents the bay we are
3:06
MacArthur ma it's it's Oakland it's it's
3:08

3:10

3:42
can't it and here's the thing about you
3:45
people going to hear you raping not be
3:47
able to pinpoint necessarily that you're
3:49
from the bay exactly uh how has that
3:52
hindered or helped your process um you
3:55
know what man like I always say like
3:58
what we doing from the bay it's
3:59
definitely different and it's Unique but
4:02
it's not because it's hip-hop right yeah
4:04
and it's just you know de Bay has a
4:06
sound we we got the knock we got the
4:08
slap everybody knows us for that but you

4:34
keep that going cuz I feel like it's a
4:37
void and then the the conversation with
4:39

4:42
lyricism like the the lyricism is gone
4:44
