Archaic wanted me to share the following interview he did with producer Carnival Beats with you little dudes:http://www.ozonemag.com/current/600/B-72-12.jpgHe would also like Young Phonics to know that he needs to get out more if he truly thinks Bun B isn't all that popular or important.

so it begins
My view is from a dude who listens to a lot of radio,occasionally tuns on BET/MTV, and lives in the Bay Area[/b]. Bun ain't really visible. I would say Young Jeezy is more relevant, they run like 3-4 songs by dude all day and I see tons of young kids rocking the snow man shirt.
Archie lives in TX so of course Bun B is "important" just like Keek is important to the Bay.
IMO
From what I've heard from Bun, dude is sick. Way tighter than Young Jeezy.
You bite your fucking tongue. Young 'Chid "lives" wherever he rests his fitted.
Bun B is important to all of Southern hip-hop though while Keak is only important to one urban region. Furthermore, Bun B isn't just a momentary flicker on the radar--dude is a fulfledged legend; a "rap father" if you will.

Sort of, but more like: 40 in the Bay = Bun B in the whole South
He is one of the progenitors
Emil, I know you don't really care for the Bay shit but you should know that Keak is more than a "momentary flicker on the radar"... dude has been around for mad years, and the 3xCrazy stuff is considered classic out there.
I don't know man, people are really riding for Keak like he's "the next one". Super Hyphy has probally been one of the biggest New Bay tracks so far. I don't know many "blimps" that can even get play on the "semi-urban" bullshit stations that would run Gwen Stefani and BEP.
I know, and it's really annoying. Perhaps I am the lone dissenter on this board (though I hope not), but I think Jeezy sucks.
Word? I thought he was just new(er) hype shit. My bad. I think faux's analogy of E-40 still works better though, no?

Yeah, that analogy absolutely works better. Keak's def been around a while though.
You're not alone.
You're not alone.
Then again, I'm not 15 years old.
