What is A-Wax's standing in Bay Area Rap?

[Bearfootgang]

Wax is a bay rap legend as far as im concerned. If it makes me a stan or whatever you mothafuckas say so be it.

These same guys talking shit about awax are the guys that think eminem and drake are the best rappers post 1999 🤣 pay em no mind.

Yea someone always got some other shit to say lol

 

[FILA|AUS]

Agreed!

Is A-Wax a legend by hip hop standards, absolutely not. You are completely right there.

Is he a legendary musician to me as a fan of music, absolutely because the length and quality consistency of his catalogue. If people asked me who are the top Bay rappers of all time, A-Wax is definitely getting mentioned in the top 5. The key words are TO ME.

2Pac a legend...BIG a legend...Eazy-E a legend...they changed not only music, but changed the world. Im a big A-Wax fan, but calling him a legend is retarded. A legend is a guy known outside of the industry. I wouldn't even call Spice 1 a legend, even though I have all his music. Legends are rare. If you have an impact on your music genre and on people, you can be considered a legend. Mac Dre is close, but I would call him a local legend. E-40 a legend...movie stars dancing to his music in Monaco...

If pac didnt get all that mainstream attention and have a huge media surrounding his death he wouldnt be legend status. Same goes for biggie. There are rappers that are far better than pac and biggie and because they arent mainstream they dont get the shine. This goes to show you're just conditioned to think how the media wants you to think. You got people who get super sensitive if you say anything about 2pac like he is some kinda God lol.

Let me guess you're another one of them dudes who think theres not a single rapper in the world better than Tupac and biggie? 🤣

 

[TrEmEnDo InDo]

Regardless of where you rank 2Pac on your best rappers list, he was legendary in '95, he's gone way beyond that now. keep it real mayne.

Not really but keep making assumptions. I don't know where you get them from but they are pretty funny.

 

[dimihyphy]

Bit off subject but relating to A-Wax: who was he talking about on “Somebody I Used To Know”?

[dimihyphy]

[StillHustlin]

i just like some of his music. he's alright. I liked him better in 99. during his woodie days of course....

 

[Dirty Clint]

That’s “Natural Born Hustlaz” off of the Junior High 2 the Penn mixtape. There’s another version floating around with Cyssero instead of A-Wax. Not sure which one is the og?

Nah, that's not it. It was Akon's song "Locked Up" with A-Wax on the track. Probably 10 years old or so.
Thank you though

 

[Dirty Clint]

It's called locked down it's on the awax & sincere sosa pyerx music mixtape wit the green cover wit them two on it.

Yeah, thanks man!
