Anyone looking to make a classic Bay mix should buy this first (then abandon all hope of topping it).
And B.Cause has an unreleased/unfinished classic Bay mix that's just as good.
Casual
Mac Dre
N2Deep
Too $hort
MC Hammer (yeah, it's not that rill schitt, but it's from the Yay)
$pice 1
Blackalicious/Latryx/DJ Shadow
Paris
Digital Underground/Raw Fusion/2Pac (although he morphed to a LA rapper)
Sway & King Tech
Saafir
Rasco
lesser known:
Charizma & PB Wolf
Homeliss Derelix
10 Bass T
The B.U.M.S.
and there was another group with like 10 dudes on it that put out a couple of singles, I think one of them was on yellow vinyl but their name escapes me right now...
HD was a crew out of Milpitas I think. Another group, The Dereliks came out of San Jose in the mid-90s. Not the first thing that comes to mind when I think of "bay rap", but they had a pretty dope album. "I am a Record" and "The Phrase that Pays" are two tracks I remember being nice. There was some talk about reissueing the vinyl a year or two ago.
Bored Stiff?
didn't happen, did it? i better get rid of my copy before they do. somebody here just sold one for $50 or so on the bay.
I would also say you should check out some classic bay mixes by established bay DJs before getting too crazy with it. I mean, if it's just for you or whatever, then do your thing, but if you plan to put it out, best to plan and make sure you aren't making the same mix somebody else already made.
that's the one - prolly not another classic, but hey - I like to brainstorm!
jt the bigga figga - game recognize game
mac mall - my opinion
coup - me and jesus the pimp
rappin 4 tay - playaz club
thats whats up
Im serious
throw a DJ Shadow beat on there
Don't forget Richie Rich
Also, Rappin' 4-Tay's "Playaz Club" was as big as any bay anthem in the mid-90s.
"I got a hoe named reel-to-reel/She got a buddy named SP-12 now you know the deal/We gets freaky in the studio late night/That's why the beats that you hear are comin' real tight"
More champagne Mista Fo'tay?
