I stumbled upon this article from a few years ago on the BART train this morning as I was passing 4001 San Leandro St. (where the Living Legends crew formed in the 90's). It goes over the old studios where some of the big hits of the Golden Era were recorded. This is one of the best articles on Bay Area Rap history I've ever read. It will definitely bring back memories for some of you older heads and will shine light on some interesting shit for folks who didn't grow up here or missed the era because they were too young.
