you can definately hear the bay influence in some of the music that's came out of KC... and it never sounded too much like bay music, but alot of us older bay heads can fuck with it like it fits in perfectly... shit like rich the factor, bohn, deco d, fat tone, that 50 mc's compilation, etc
theres some bay / west coast influenced shit from st. louis in the past also... like budwiza (i think big hollis produced his entire album), deadly deuce, sylk smoov, mr. a, etc... but their sound is more south influenced as of late
that 100% game album yaw got from back in the was bay friendly than a fuck... i've been transferring some of those tracks from ipod to ipod since 2002
