[D.E.O.]

love the song selection.. wrong order tho.. in my opinion.

 

[C-4]

#34 Lil B "Pretty Bitch"

Are you fucking serious??

Look at the songs from #35-50, Lil B aint nowhere near any one of them

Willy & the Nation of Thizzlam dickride lil b & anything else that's like "hipster rap". Not surprising.

LMAO @ superhyphy being #7

yea u can tell the list was made by some youngsters

look at the order, they have some of the biggest and most important songs in the Bay Area's history hella low, and got hella newer hyphy type songs up near the top, not that those aint good songs, but they're not the best ever out of the Bay

 

[CoopDVill]

88' to 96' nothing above that would have been on my list

 

[dre1131]

"Husalah does what he does best: talk shit, sing, and borrow rhymes from Too $hort classics." HHAHAHAHA hella true tho

 

[Dana Dane]

I almost gave up when Back to the Hotel was number 50. Then again when I saw Lil B on the list. Its really obvious that this list was made by some 20 year old skinny jean wearin faggot who was not raised in the 'golden age' of Bay Rap, or by parents who did.

 

[JackArtist510]

Back To The Hotel is a signature Bay Area song.. can't put MC Hammer before that, even if he came out before N2Deep/

[thebrain]

hold up. was 3x krazy on that list because i dont think so. "keep it on the real" = real classic

 

[wallets]

lil' b shouldn't even be on this list, he is horrible, and keep it on the real is definitely a classic. big mistake right there.

 

[Rossibreath]

That list is a faggot
