What songs were regional hits for the Bay, especially in the 90's?

[R-Tistic]

I know that L.A. has had a lot of songs that may not have made it to the Bay as far as radio/club play are concerned, so I was wondering what songs these would be for the Bay. I've heard some people from the Bay say that they didn't hear much from Suga Free or even Tha Eastsidaz as they heard from Snoop/Dre/Cube...so I figure that they had a lot of songs that made noise up there that we never heard much of.

[G-Funk]

I don't think there were any. not in the 90s at least.

It had to be a whole lot. I know that most of us in L.A. may have heard Mac Dre's name, but didn't know any songs from him back then. For cats like X-Raided, C-Bo, and even Brotha Lynch, it weren't many of us that were exposed to their songs back then unless they were featured on an L.A. album. I never heard "Rest in piss" and "24 Deep" until this decade. Same with songs like 3X Krazy "Keep it on the real" and Mac Mall "Get right."

[Russell Bell]

there's tons...

One's off of the top of my head -

RBL Posse - bounce to This

Dru Down - Pimp of the Year & Can U Feel Me

E-40 - Captain Save a Hoe

Also, E-40 - Million Dollar Spot (dont know if it was a "hit", but it was getting play everywhere in Modesto when I was growing up)

[2euce 7even]

"i got 5 on it"?

and if we count pac to bay area rappers, every 2pac hit.

[papa-smurf]

I got 5 on it was large in LA.But didnt nobody know who the song was from but everybody was banging it.Dru down pimp of the year was large in LA to.
BUt alot of people in  LA  never heard of brother lynch or x-raided.
c-bo had a lil buzz but not like that. celly cell wasnt that known in LA.a hand full of people knew about him.But celly cell was dope.

[GangstaBoogy]

Isn't N2Deep from the bay? In that case "Back to the Hotel". Brotha Lynch "Rest In Piss". "Tell" by Mac Mall I believe.

[the ghost]

Celly Cell had a lot of songs that got love in the bay, but not much outside of it:(  It's a shame cause his stuff still knocks.
