I'm from Texas, so I have to rep my hometown heroes, UGK:

When Pimp C pours salt on the cow? Come on! Unfuckwithable.

And since I live in SF, I'll rep the Bay with Too $hort:

I'll try to play nice in this thread, since I've DJed hip-hop (and Jamaican music) since the 90s and am very, very opinionated when it comes to the rapps. :)

Oh, fuck it. DCostello posted that mob shit and it made me think of this:

And that made me think of this:

And since we're talmbout Bay Area Macs, I have to mention the late great Thizzelle Washington, aka Mac Dre:

I can't begin to tell you how big "Feelin' Myself" was in the Bay. It hit big right after Mac Dre died, and every--and I mean every--time that record dropped in the club, shit just popped off. Everybody lost it. It was beautiful.

Have you all seen Suite For Ma Dukes? It's an orchestra playing j-dilla songs. It's pretty amazing.

And here is my contribution ;)

Starting off with the mother fuckin' Genius!

(it was a toss up between ^this, Labels and Animal Planet... tough choice)

Add a dash of Dilated:

A sprinkling of some of the finest:

And a little bit of Australian stuff for you (My homie Dontez on the hook):

And this is one of the acts I manage. Track is old (from 2005) but the clip is still dope for the $2500 budget we had (called in ALOT of favors)

And this track from the crew I just fucking dig ;)

@Ursula - That Suite for Ma Dukes is amazing! Cheers for posting it, I'm a tad disappointed in myself for only finding this now though ;)

@JAllen - Chino and Doc Oct. for the win ;) (When Kool Keith came out last year, me and a mate where his driver/tour guide. Dude was a champion! First thing he said "Yo! I need to get some Trojans and Chicken. Where KFC at??!!")

Blessed to have the majority of these guys come through Austin. Doomtree is great

I saw the whole Doomtree crew at red rocks about a month ago, sick show.

[exume]

How can we have so many people from the Bay and not have more from the Bay?

And some New York for you East Coasters.

Medusa is the real fucking deal.

[Duffa]

@Ursula - Kris Kross went on to release 2, possibly 3 other albums after their debut... but all where nothing to write home about ;)

@David Flores YES!. Outkasts earlier stuff was amazing. And in honor of that ;)
