Title: What songs were regional hits for the Bay, especially in the 90's?
Post by: R-Tistic on April 02, 2009, 08:40:35 AM
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.

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."

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.

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

This is a great thread cuz living in Sounthern Cali I didn't know what the Bay area was playing back in the day. I just assumed they were playing the same shit on the radio that we were. But what about Little Bruce "Mobbin In My Old Skool"? I was fuckin around on Youtube and came across that video and that was my first time ever hearing that song and i'm 28 from Long Beach.  I was reading the Youtube comments and that song appeared to be a Bay classic.

Man, that's how I feel...that's why I created this, because I have realized that they had a lot of music that we never heard, even though we still played a good number of Bay singles back then. I am hearin all these songs listed here and like damn, I woulda been playin this back then if I had known...but with no internet in the early-mid 90's, and without knowin anybody from the Bay aside from my 50 yr old Aunt, I didn't know about anything!
