while NOT from the bay area, he IS/WAS closely tied to 2Pac, 40, Brotha Lynch Hung, Yuk & X-Raided (signed BLH & X, collaborated with Pac & is 40's lil cousin) for ages and from memory lived somewhere in the bay area or close by. Also he was inspired by alot of the 80s bay artists like Mac & 40 & he did do a song with Mac Dre & a song called Thizzles (2013)

All Politics & Street Business Aside, Created a top 50 of our most impactful rappers/artists all over Northern California. Wanna hear who you’d switch out and debate on it. Each of these artist have made some type of big impact on Bay Area music culture in the last decade. P.S - This goes up will have to do a TOP 50 all California List

I'm a highschool teacher and sometimes I wanna make it clear that if they don't do their homework they can fail the class... If I say "anybody can get it," will that bassline run through their heads like it does mine? I know it's more than 20 years old but c'mon, Breaking News is a classic

Who listened to Bay Area rap in high school and how far did you live from the Bay Area?

I went to high school 2006-2010 and lived in Modesto and loved Mac Dre, Andre Nickatina, The Pack, etc. I’m just curious how far reaching Bay Area rappers were back then.

The Mob Trial 3 albums I feel like are some of the best work The Jacka, Husalah, and AP9 especially ever put out, out of the insane catalog of everything the Mob Figaz and solo or collab projects all 5 members made over the years 1999-2015. RIP Jack

As someone who’s been paying close attention to the scene since early-mid 2000s (born in 95) it feels like we’re at an all time low for quality music. Livewire was making classics. Mozzy was making classics if you count him. Artists like Allblack were steadily dropping heat

Never thought I would be saying this but where’s the real hip hop? Don’t come in here and say larussell either

I didnt know it existed till last weekend. My brother's put me on it. I kinda dug it. The fact that he asked Wandas blessing was pretty sincere. I dont slap Drake, but im happy the world got exposed to Dre. May he Romp In Peace 🙏🏿🤟🏿

Hello!

Somebody please have lore on the real tv dvd white-Mexican baddie, Becca.

Her daughter posted some tiktoks about her but there definitely gotta be some people out there with more lore on her.

Shes on left on the daughters post above.

I think so...

The Hyphy Movement was dope and all but I feel like towards the end it became very oversaturated with everyone trying to sound like each other and putting out a bunch of bullshit records. Part of me feels like this is why much more serious and darker rappers like J. Stalin and The Jacka started making noise during this time, because it was a breath of fresh air.

With that being said, who would you say is the WORST rapper to come out of the Hyphy Movement?

I’ve been working on a full documentary about Mac Dre for my series When The Mic Fades, and I tried to cover the entire story from beginning to end. From Vallejo and the early Romper Room era, to the Fresno case where he did five years, the rise of Thizz Nation, and everything that happened leading up to his death in Kansas City. The video also talks about the rumors around what really happened that night, the Mac Minister situation, and the aftermath including Fat Tone being killed in Las Vegas.

I know there’s people in here from the Bay and all over California who really lived through that era, so I’d appreciate hearing your perspectives, stories, or things people might not know. The documentary premieres Friday the 13th at 7PM California time, and I’d love for people from the Bay to check it out and give their thoughts on it. Mac Dre’s impact on the culture was huge and I tried to tell the story the right way. 🕊️

What are some of your favorite Brotha Lynch Hung tracks that people might not know?

just heard a new (to me) Mac Dre song on this sub.. that one with dubee.. now I’m wondering how many other Mac Dre songs are out there that I’ve never heard before. Been one of my favorite rappers since middle school when I first heard Thizz Dance on the radio in 04 and been on many a deep dives ever since. But never thought of asking here. So… let me hear what you got, that you think might be mor new to my ears.
