2pac repped where he was at hard! Giving it up to wherever he was at.
Everybody can claim him the way he claimed them.
He got his game there but when he got to Oakland he was too big so he was “from” the east. Stamped and embraced and put on but still from NY by way of Baltimore.
When he was thuggin wit death row- repping LA hard he was put on the set so he was banging it different but he was still from the bay by way of the east coast.
Because he’s the rap god everybody wants to claim him. There’s no wrong answer to me.
The bay has the longest duration of his short life so they fight for it the most.

sorry but he made his most revered music in LA and even started affiliating himself with bloods out in LA, which had the biggest influence on the gangsta rap he started pumpin in the midst of his prime.. i know all about pac, he's hands down my favorite rapper, but "to live n die in la" kills the notion that he was primarily a bay rapper. at best, i'll give u the fact that he represented the entire west coast, but Death Row was LA and we all know where his loyalty stood once Suge signed him.
2 PAC has a song that starts off "straight outta Oakland California where we spark it on ya" he's sporting an A's fit in a movie where he drives to his cousins house in Oakland. In his very first music video Trapped the police car was OPD, in Brenda's gotta baby the guy is reading the Oakland tribune. That fool was representing Oakland to the fullest then he moved to LA... In California luv video the thunder dome said welcome to Oakland. He never rept any other city. He loved LA but he didn't rep it

lol bro he got a song called to live and die in la where he constantly uses "we" as reference to the city, states it's "the only place for me" in the intro, and even the chorus proclaims "it's the place to be".. to say he never repped LA is straight lyin to yaself. but i see you love your city, so ima let u cook.
I dunno this can go back and forth, but maybe just look at the bay areas influence on California as a whole. Southern California has two specific cities that are big as fuck. In the bay, and I’m not going on numbers here I guess I’m going more on living here for a decade plus at this point, smaller cities, closer together. Like the town and SF are so close to eachother. You go from SF to Vallejo, you’d still be in San Diego *county* within that time.
But if I really gotta have my opinion on this, I’m gonna say SF has had the most influence just based on the city it is, oakland is obviously closely followed, and Vallejo is definitely next in line. You also gotta ask out of town ppl this question without it being biased, mac dre became fucking astronomically huge at a point but even still, there was a point before thizz, that out of town ppl either had no idea who dre was or simply didn’t care yet.alpt of what was huge locally wasn’t so much out of the area. Most ppl didn’t really even get hip to dre till thizzle dance and treal tv out of the bay, hate to say...the only reason I MAY say Vallejo has a good hold on the local Bay Area Music was e-40..
But y’all also are forgetting most ppl outside of the bay didn’t really even know sac wasn’t part of “the bay”...so a lot of ppl would damn near say that shit like cbo lynch , x raided etc etc etc was what put on hella hardcore..but once again that’s expanding shit to “north cali”...
It’s really gon depend on what music you in your opinion, was fuckin w.. and locally, that shit just may seem biased cuz you gon have your opinion based on where you were at.

now to 707 like they say theres something different in the water out there .....ready fuck e-40 young dboyz matt thurston and thomas young are near the doors
other spots like santa rosa stockton just dont bring enough material
the best is 916 with todays best rapper going monterio williams 3 aka lunasicc aka luni coleone.......sac is not in the bay i know but every sac cd is bay affilated meaning simuliar only more harder more mobb....proff name 1 i mean 1 label other than glp or no limit[doesnt count] that reigned like AWOL NO LABEL OR SOUND CAN MATCH AWOL 96-2000

So SF and Vallejo are 30 miles from each other, you can literally go 30 miles in LA and still be in the city of Los Angeles: canoga park to downtown los angeles ca - Google Search
If you go to the northern tip of Los Angeles County to the Southern tip of Los Angeles county it's over 90 miles:
Google Maps
LA's hella big and spread out. The Bay is way more dense.

Ive been saying for years this same thing about vallejo. Im from Sac so I have no alliance to any particular part of the bay.
But its strictly based on what people prefer. The old ybb and sickwidit is pretty much my favorite bay shit, so thats why I feel that way.
Black n Dangerous is imo the most underated bay album ever.

Like I said love him or hate him no ones bigger then berner right now ! And he putting on For sf right now something big ! And he opening a cannabis club in Hawaii now ! I see everyone out there wearing cookie clothing I don’t see anyone drinking e40 drinks or anyone wearing thizz clothing Except for people on instagram !! Berners cornered the market in every way and his music is selling right along with it all ! Frisco for the win
