I know one thing Oakland is the most unique rap that I like more than anywhere else just dope smoke beats and hardest core raps. they style is one of a kind in rap stuff. thank you Oakland
Are you from Oakland or somewhere in the Bay? I lived in San Jose, and I'll never forget the first time I heard Sir Too $hort... Saying that it changed my life sounds corny but it did have an impact on my life. I was obsessed with him for a while and I used to go to the town and look for him. I never found him until one day a concert that he was part of, 3,000 mi away from California in Montreal Canada. I was unbelievably starstruck talking to him, he signed my Oakland hat and I wanted to talk to him so much, and it was at the time when he and Pooh man were beefing so I brought it up. Short and Too Clean started laughing their asses off wondering how this boy know all about this shit all the way out here...that's wha when I told him that I lived in San Jose before. I said to him that I used to try to find him, but never had any luck. He told me at that point that he lived on 85th. But the time of the concert, it was roughly a year or two since he had moved to Atlanta and I asked him why he left Oakland, and his exact words were "two main reasons, you lived in the bay so you know how wild it is. Things were getting hectic and very dangerous. I can make my dollar stretch much longer in Atlanta than California. So I bought MY mama a house and myself a mansion and it was not even close to the price of a house in California of similar sizes" But you damn right about the music that comes out of Oakland and the bay in general. At one point I only listen to artists out of The Bay Area. My only exception besides it was NWA, and death row. I miss those days when their music would drop cuz it was such 🔥🔥🔥🔥 and there ain't nothing like that anymore.

Richie Rich got that dope voice man. He influenced Snoop with his 415 group and style. Then did some heaters with Pac man. Please don't sleep on Oakland. Double R always nice with it.
William McGee get at your cuzzo j.b swompy slews nigga. bay boy all day until I check out. much love to all my family that's keeping it 200, 100 for me an 100 for the one's that still trying to make so. something shake. One thing for sure is we will make something shake even when we don't try. It's something in the water bra.
It's baffling cause when we were in our early and late 20's we wanted to be like the OG's in their mid 30's and 40's, cause that's how we learned our game from their mistakes...I got love for these yungins, but a lot of them so disrespectful, not all of them tho! My thing is its a blessing to see 35-40 years old with the way these cops gunning us down! #SaluteBro #AllLove #GoodEnergy
Thing about Bay Area rap is it is not commercialized like that other garbage out there. All independent with no soul selling record deals. Highly underated but at the same time highly respectable. The Bay always been the underdoggs in this rap shit and we the ones setting trends all them other MFS biting tryna make main stream. By the time other MFS catch on, we onto something else. Salute to the Bay mane
Liken this shiiiiiet right here! Rich knew what Pacs movement and understood it. Lets get real Black people fight the struggle the keep the game from swallowing up our people.
Take it from a cat who grew up in the neighborhood n the hills in the 80's, Rich was the neighborhood star that had the whole town buzzin wit that original "town business" slap-happy music! 415 etc... #oaklandhills41510 still doin it in 2017 wit this- that's longevity take notes-
Whew....FIRE!! Salute to Double R. The Vet homie from The Town. #TownBizness #Oakland This video is off the chain. The drone shots are ON POINT. Made me homesick. Stuck here on the East Coast. Gotta get back to The Bay soon....
Man you West Coast brothers are bringing the West back up again and I am an old head from the East and always listen to the West,especially when Deathrow ,Eazy,NWA,Cube,MC Ren,CBo,Mac Mall ,DJ Quick, etc was bringing that G Funk sound ,I love this.
