RBL bummer weed

Lmao at "bummer weed". They really coulda just called it that.

 

[KINGOFGREEN]

For Bay Area rap, either Richie Rich Seasoned Veteran or E-40 Hall of game. After that Bay Area rap was always in rotation

 

[KINGOFGREEN]

When dre got out of jail, his new voice caught me off guard, he had my favorite delivery ever, it was funky as fuck.

I thought Dre was good, but I always thought he was way better after he got out. He elevated his game to a new level.

Short, RBL, Dre Dog, E-40

i forgot to mention the Ten O'clock Bomb...the show on 106.1 KMEL that Sway used to host. They used to play new stuff as it came out. I used to tape the show religiously.

I was stoked when I saw this on CMC for the first time (another show that used to play Bay Rap...videos that is)

The Coup

 

[LurccH918]

I had known and liked e-40 but a friend of mine gave me the funk mobb tape it aint 4 play and I was instantly hooked. Shit...I remember getting my Walkman taken by the principal and couldn't get it back til the end of the year. I was pretty salty but best believe I was there on the last day of school to get my shit. I still remember looking into that big utility closet they kept all that kinda stuff and there was hundreds of pagers in there and tons of walkmans. Damn I miss the 90s lol

Like the rest, I heard Hammer and DU before anything else, but ALBUM wise----

My older Brother had "Gettin' It" and "Hall of Game" in his truck. And my other brother had "Amerikkkaz Nightmare" and "Me Against the World" but I couldn't really have my way with these albums.

"Killa Kali" was the first bay album I was able to spend quality time with. A homie let me borrow it.

"I got 5 on it" was of course bumping on the radio and "Back to the Hotel" but sticking to ALBUMS-----


"Can You Feel me", "Seasoned Veteran" and "Untouchable" came soon after that. Again from a friend.

Another homie had ALL the Spice-1 albums after awhile. So we listened to that heavy. Plus all the Westcoast Bad Boys and Master P's if you count those.

The first bay albums that I OWNED were "Strictly for my n.i.g.g.a.z" and "Hemp Museum"

Hempin Aint Easy, so bit of a late bloomer

Then I just dove into the E40 classics, Dre Dog releases
