I also love the sketch where he's all "what if i had become a rapper" and it cuts to him as a goat centaur rapping hahahaha

When he drops into the 'pan-pipe solo' while walking around in circles... I loose my shit every time. (Maybe we need a Dave Chappelle thread?) AND i just realised the clip you posted @Ursula is the extended version?? Is that on the extras on the season 2 DVD? (asks the guy that owns it himself lol, I'll go check)

[Duffa]

p.s I SPIT HOT FIYAH! ;) & when Dylan starts choking Wyclef "YOUR TO CLOSE MAN!"

[Ursula]

@Duffa - doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo doodle doo do.. that pan flute shit is the real hot fire!

@JAllen - just to get a rep is such a good track

[Jaycel Adkins]

Everyone who loves hip-hop should watch Chappelle's Block Party Documentary....it's amazing.

[Duffa]

@Ursula - the funniest thing is since yesterday I have pretty much been constantly going "doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo doodle doo do". anytime, anywhere, for no reason in particular. BUT it has encouraged other people to do the same, and at Uni today I had a line of people doo-doo-ing behind me ;) (by line I mean 3 other people but it was still pretty darn funny)

[JAllen]

@Ursula that was always my favorite track by them.

i did like the first jazzamatazz album too

I've been listening to ASAP Rocky a lot lately (note: not Aesop Rock). Interesting kid. He's from Harlem, but works with a producer from San Antonio (named Beautiful Lou) and is heavily influenced by Houston rap and DJ Screw.

[Gregor]

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

I wouldn't even know where to start with Bay Area rap...E-40, The Click, Spice 1, Richie Rich, Luniz, Brotha Lynch, Mac Dre, 3xkrazy, Mac Mall, JT the Bigga Figga...

Had Andre Nickatina perform on the balcony of my apt when I lived on Del Playa in Isla Vista. Will be telling that story to my kids. Along with going to Dennys with Flavor Flav

[Barbie Doll]

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

And some shit from the bay area that I grew up on ;)

^^ we supported tha Liks when they came out a few years ago and we got Tash to do this ILL freestyle for a mix tape that was never released. IF i can somehow get a copy out the studio I'll post it for y'all

Tash's album brings me back to college days...as does Aquemini album...sigh...

[Barbie Doll]

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.

Even my boys from LA knew the Thizzle Dance

[Barbie Doll]

Ok so I'm a little late to this thread...I will never get sick of Tupac's music. All Eyez on Me, Me Against the World and Makaveli still get played regularly. Hit em up is a classic!

I worked at a music store in Oakland (Homeboyz Music in Durant Square holla!) in my teens so rap amd hip hop (and R&B) was all I listened to.

Recently saw Heiro, Bailey and San Quinn perform at FTCs 25th anniversary party. Straight reppin the bay! http://www.missbabbles.com/social-gatherings/ftcs-25th-anniversary-party/
