WHAT ALBUM PUT YOU ON TO BAY RAP???
- Thread starter Arson
- Start date
I can't remember back that far clearly. I think I first bought Amerikkkas nightmare then Tales from the Hood then I bought Game Related cuz of hot ones echo through the ghetto. When I heard E40 say, "like to drink beer with mashed potatoes" I bought every sick wid it album ever made and now it's like 22 years later and he's still my favorite rapper lol
Amerikkkas nightmare heard it in 9th grade and was hooked from the start had it on tape

Did anyone subscribe to Columbia house music? I remember having to get relatives to buy CDs at 17.99 a piece to get me out of my contract. Anyway my point being they had a lot of bay titles to choose from for your free 10 CDs because Jive had signed a bunch of artists from out here. I know I got the mail man, 187 he wrote, cocktales and some other shit off there
When I was like 12, I signed up under pop's name. Haha, but luckily they let him out the contract after he explained what happened. Ended up getting a collection of CD's for like pennies a piece.
As far as the topic goes, I want to say Hammer. I think what made me a fan of bay rap itself tho, is when I started catching on more to rappers like Short, RBL, etc.. I think West Coast Bad Boyz 1 is what put me on to what people were doing in the bay with compilations. Think that's what put me on how diverse things could be in the bay.

mc hammer, too short, digital underground, oaktowns 357 were the first artists i heard from out the bay area... i've more or less consistently listened to bay area rap since then, even though i'd be hard press to say that "bay area rap" as a scene existed back then
