Is Mac Mall from the Bay?
...not interested
-
Mac Mall time traveled from to past to now
im not interested in this sound
-
Hopefully Khayree produced most of it, or all of it.
-
should be decent, at least. Mac Mall, although inconsistent, never drops truly bad shit.

ALBUM OUT 4/21/15
One of the greatest songs in Hip Hop history. The fact that it came from a seventeen year old is mind boggling to me. Such wisdom.
-
if u dont like bay shit, ur missin out on a good portion of pac's legacy....thats the bottom muthafuckin line tho
-
2PAC SAID MAC MALL WAS HIS FAVORITE RAPPER...HE ALSO DIRECTED HIS CLASSIC VIDEO "GHETTO THEME"
Link or it didn't happen...
And it's a well-directed video, if it would of came across BET or MTV I might have thought "dope", but it's not like I would of went out to try to find the album. Of course if I was smokin the shit you ficcaz is smokin out West and chillin like ya'll chill then I'd bump it with ya'll... but by myself with headphones on, in KC, or elsewhere, hell no

i know we need a link for everythin nowadays, but i dont really remember where i read it......just that i did.
thats sad, tho, because bay produced some of the finest west coast hip-hop.....duno why u wouldnt be able to bump a cut like "ghetto theme" in your headphones up in kc, but it is what it is.

DX: Going way back, Tupac actually directed your first classic clip, “Ghetto Theme.” What was Tupac the director like, just a lot of yelling and cursing at you? [Laughs]
Mac Mall: Not at all. That is a special video to me, not only because Tupac directed it but because now when I look at that video there’s so many people [that were in it] that are gone.
But ‘Pac the director – I had a scene in that video where I had to lay in a casket, and that day I was just a little nervous about it. It was stressful for a 17-year-old. All this shit going on, they got big [camera] trucks and all these people there for me. I guess ‘Pac could sense that I was nervous. And at the time Tupac was going through hella court cases. He stayed on his cell phone...but he made time for me. So he saw that I was nervous and he pulled me to the side and he was like, “Yeah, you got a problem with the scene coming up, huh?” And I was like, “Yeah, a little bit.” He was like, “Man, don’t trip, bruh. I die in almost every movie that I’m in.” [Laughs] So he was like, “Man, all you gotta do is just think about your performance, think about how powerful it’s gonna be when other people see it.” And he just pumped me up to handle it and it ended up being a very powerful video that people from all over the world give me props on.
I think Infinite has a hard time liking this because he just comes across it in 2015. if he had come across it in like 1993 when it came out, or some time later let's say in 1996, which was a better period in his life (as evidenced by his numerous posts on the subject), then he would probably have loved it and would talk about it today as a masterpiece. because Infinite is more sensitive to the context surrounding the music than the actual music.
Pac has also directed Ray Luv's last nite, another classic song from a classic YBB album "forever hustling'"
I remember the first time I saw the video 8) made me buy the album and introduced me to Khayree's body of work.

nice post, and some truth to that... but remember, KC, where I'm from has always had so much love for the Bay. I mean E-40 was making a lot of noise out here during the same period Death Row was making noise, and "I'll Be Around" and "Playaz Club" by Rappin 4'Tay I used to bump those tracks all summer long back in 95, bumped "Gettin It" all summer long in 96, but those songs were exceptions and I never could bump full albums...Too Short was really popular in my way during that Death Row period...
Yet, I always saw Bay Area music as being a bit low brow and lacking refinement. It seemed a bit 3rd rate, not to the degree of Southern 90's rap like No Limit, but still clearly beneath L.A., New York, and even Detroit. It always had a low quality sound to me.
-
my favorite Mac Mall album is Untouchable... that is still a Bay Area classic imo... Vintage Bay at it's finest...
-
Mac Mall's best album is his first but he's got plenty of classics

100% on point . but everyones like that, not just infinite. music is circumstantial. settings play a big part in how U hear a song... if u were out here bumpin lamb and blazin blunts wit my cali folks, you'd say every song is a classic. environment plays the biggest role in how you hear something. most people don't even realize that about themselves, but that's what it is.

this is flat out inaccurate.. khayree (goat bay producer) has one of the most refined sounds in all of hip-hop. mike mosely, ant banks, tone capone, ea ski, etc. as well.

keep in mind Brian thought Brotha Lynch was a bay area rapper

truth...the Bay had some of the sickest producers of the 90's hands down... everyone on this list is grossly under-rated...

again fellas, infinite knows as much about the bay area rap scene as Uncle Phil loved Jazzy Jeff

lyrical content was a part of my post, I wasn't just talking about the producers.... Even Pac said that the Bay Area taught him to be more direct, which worked for Pac because Pac was so elevated intellectually and artistically that when he comes direct it is still deeply poetic...
...but as a whole the Bay area could never come up with some fly shit like, "This nicca raps with a razor keep it under my tongue/ high school drop out/ never liked the shit from day one"... the Bay would just rap, "Izza don't like ttaaaa read, Izzza jus a poor young hustla, but I bust ya, so fuck ya"

not true...some of the most lyrical west coast rappers came out the bay. for instance, take ice cube's cousin del. he's a lot more lyrical and witty than cube. but u havent listened to enough bay to know that...u just speakin on shit u dont know, straight up. it sounds ignorant tbh, but it is wit it is. maybe one day ull discover somethin new. then again, like bouli said, it's all circumstantial.

I fux with Del, own two of his albums...but he's kind of an oddball type of rapper...he's not really your standard Bay Area rapper

Bay Area is the most slept on and underrated hip-hop region of all time - period.

see, thats what im talkin bout...thats ur ignorant side speakin. there are lotsa rappers in the bay wit a more lyrical style, not just del. whats your "standard bay rapper"? sounds to me like u havent heard enough to know.....but take the mac mall joint i posted. is that standard bay to u? because the content is identical to what pac would spit pre-death row. and u know why? cuz pac was pretty much raised by the bay (as a rapper). if u ever do decide to expand your horizons, the bay area is where u should most definitely start.

Pac was not raised by the Bay as a rapper. You really need to read the book "Back In The Day" that was written by 2pac's childhood best friend who was in a group with Pac back in Baltimore. Pac was nearly signed to a record label all the way back when he was living in Baltimore. People think Pac was some ballerina going to Shakespeare plays with Jada Pinkett and shit like that when he was in Baltimore. No, Pac was deep in the hood in Baltimore, making frequent trips back to New York to sleep on the floor of crowded family homes, and battlin gangsta mutherfuckaz in the hood to earn his props as a rapper the hard way...
Pac was a full-fledged artist already in Baltimore, along with battlin all the top rappers in the city, he was also performing shows and working hard on his craft every single day. So please stop over-exaggerating The Bay's presence in Pac's life.
When Pac was asked why he became a rapper he said that, "He had MOVED AROUND A LOT, and that Hip-Hop was the common denominator IN ALL OF HIS TRAVELS". So the Bay was just a part of who Pac was as a rapper, possibly 1/4 at the very most.

i actually agree with infant here. hes still an idiot tho
-
Bay Area gangsta rap isn't the most lyrical type of rap, but then again Infinite just said Dre was a Top 10 rapper and worships Snoop and Death Row, which is not the most lyrical type of rap (to say the least) and whose lyrical output is on par with your average bay area artist.
the bay has its fair share of dope lyiricists though : San Quinn, Goldy, Fatha Dom, E-40, Yukmouth, Numskull, Locksmith, Ray Luv etc. but then again why bother respond when Infinite is making bold claims about things he admits not knowing. His opinion is based on a hunch and he refuses to bump artists "on principle". hard to take someone seriously after that.
