Is this song old? And is Killa Tay the other dude from Luniz?

No, Knumbskull is the other dude from the Luniz. Killa Tay is just another rapper from the Bay.

OMG! Just shows how close minded most LA heads are when it comes to rap music. Try listening to some bay area music. First you didn't know who Rick Rock was, now you don't even know who Numbskull or killatay is. Whats next, you never heard of Khayree?
I ain't dissing ya, but man, why don't you give the bay a chance? They drop hot fuckin music, and most this forum has no idea.

Hooooooooooold the fuck up before talkin shit about me like that. First up.....how does this show I am close minded??? I ASKED about them, because I never heard the song, and I kno Killa Tay's name but forgot about Numbskull. Now I knew who rick rock was, I just didn't kno til 2001. But you are trippin waay 2 hard for one thing. I am from L.A., and how the fuck am I gonna hear of these bay area cats? I am definitely not close minded...I like anything that's good, so if you play me somethin, I won't EVER say "it's tite as hell but it's from the bay" or "he is tite FOR somebody from the bay" or any thing near that. So sayin I am closeminded is ignorant as hell. It is not my fault I haven't heard of them. Am I supposed to talk to people like you just so I'll know who is doin what up there? I don't listen to radio because they definitely don't play new bay area or even much L.A., and I know people from the bay but I don't kick it with any because I am in L.A. of course. So check that shit, I DEFINITELY give the bay a chance..I support the west even if it's Phoenix Vegas and Seattle droppin heat, I could give a fuck if it's from L.A. or not. So please revoke your statement.
P.S. and No I haven't heard of Khayree...guess that proves I am closeminded for not even hearin of him before.

It is a bit shocking that you didn't know who Killa Tay and Knum were.

I knew them by name, and I remember Knum bein with Luniz since dude mentioned it. But who's to blame? Most people I kick it with in L.A. don't know either of em. It is sad how separate the bay and l.a. are, but why are people so shocked? Most places such as this don't really be on each other. NY people won't know of local Jersey rappers like they know of their own...and somebody from Miami wouldn't know of rappers that are big in ATL but nowhere else. Yeah we are all California, but just as far as we are drivin, that is how different we are.
-
It's not like Tay and the Luniz are just "local" Bay acts though, or "underground" Bay rappers. They're pretty damn popular in Cali, and even outside of the DUB. If you visit a grip of forums and websites that cover West Coast music then you should know the dudes. I'm just sayin' I'm a bit shocked. Don't take it personal.
As for me I love all West Coast rap and try to know as much about it as possible. Sure I'm most familiar with Dago rappers, but I constantly bump shit from Dago to the Bay.

Well one thing about California is that people aren't always as big as you think. I don't think half of my crowd, 16-30 blacks who are into rap, knows who The Game is yet. Most of em have heard of Crooked I but I bet most can't point him out on a track. And this is speakin of L.A. people. I don't know too many people, if any, that are anti-bay area, but most of us just aren't exposed to it. And bulletin boards don't really count on the streets because it's a lot of people that may seem big when u are on the net but if you go around, people don't even know who they are. As far as Killa Tay, yeah I had heard his name but that was it...of course I know Luniz, but most people I know don't even kno Yukmouth is from Luniz. It's all sad but true...and we definitely aren't part of the ignorant commercial rap crowd.

I take back nothing I said. Un-fucking-believable that you don't know who khayree is either. Do yourself a favor and check out sum bay area rap. Its much better than that snoop dogg bullshit.

I don't buy that whole "I'm from L.A. how am I supposed to hear about Bay rappers."
I'm from L.A., I know about a gang of rappers from outside of L.A. A lotta L.A. heads won't dig for new shit. They're satisfied with what L.A. has to offer. Even then, they're satisfied what the more known artists drop. Many people in L.A. don't know shit about L.A. Hip Hop.

Well ain't u the one that always goes to the Bay or whatever? I have been to the Bay like twice and it was for a 4th grade field trip and for a conference. Believe me, anything that's dope, I'll peep it, whether it's online or if I get the mixtape on the streets or hear it in a record store. But I just do not hear about the Bay rappers. It ain't that I don't dig for new shit, just that I am not gonna go around searchin to find shit, I just let it come and if I hear it I do, if I don't hear it then I just don't. I don't see why people are trippin so hard on me NOT KNOWING of rappers or whatever, when it really isn't my fault. Is it an obligation for me to find these rappers? I could see if somebody gave me their CD, and I didn't even listen to it, or I heard it one time and threw it out the window. BUT I JUST DON'T HEAR IT! I don't see what's so hard for y'all to understand. When people from L.A. don't know shit about L.A. rappers and they say the east coast is waay better and all that, I don't really care, I don't agree with em and I will expose them to as much L.A. dope shit as I can, but I don't react or whatever. But with this, where am I supposed to go just to search for Bay music? Also, I have heard a lot of bay music and a lot of it is dope, but I just can't get into some of it, like Brotha Lynch just aint my type, but I don't hold anything against the Bay. And SGV you have alllllways been one of those dudes who is from L.A. (I guess you are...what part are you from?) who always knocks everybody in L.A. for whatever reason. I can understand you knockin people who are closeminded but that ain't me, I just haven't been exposed to what's up north, so stop the trippin.

Well believe it because I haven't heard of him. Since you want me to check it out so bad, do you want to send me a CD with a grip of MP3s, or anything like that? Please don't confuse me for one of the closeminded ignorant cats who doesn't want to hear bay area music. Ironic as it is, before I dropped this post, I was drivin to work and when I parked and cut my car off, I was bumpin this song, and I got on here and saw that there was a topic about it, so even tho I didn't kno exactly who was rappin I was feelin it, and I was playin it for my other L.A. homeboys before that.

No, I don't want to send you any cd's, just go to the local record store and pick the albums up. both are better than any album that dropped in the last 4 years. or check half.com, or just download them, it ain't like they are rare cd's. and like dudes said, these guys I'm tellin u about are not just some way underground acts that peeps don't know about. In fact u should be quite ashamed for claiming to be a westcoast rap fan, that is from cali, and ain't even heard of these guys. they are fucking legends. Oh and if you wanna check khayree for freee,last week I upload 2 songs from Cobra - Playaz in Paradise, both produced by khayree. of course I'm sure you, along with just about everyone else on here, never checked them out.

My name let's you know where I'm from.
626 area, San Gabriel Valley, East Los Angeles County.
I'm right between the 10 and the 210 freeways.
And, yes I go to the Bay. But, that don't mean nothin'. I don't go to the South, yet I know about artists who are rather local. You got the net homie, all this music is sittin' right there for you to listen to. All you gotta do is download something. If you like buying stuff go to Tower Records, they got PLENTY of records from Bay artists. Same with Wherehouse. Plenty spots in L.A. carry Bay, San Diego, Sacramento and Northwest CDs.
Yea, I do knock closeminded heads, especially L.A. cats. L.A. is supposed to be a mecca of Hip Hop, yet it's scene relies on old ass rappers who are already played. Why? Because fans, not saying you, just don't have will to check anything new.

I donno much about the SGV. One thing you could "blame" if you want to say blame, is that even the west coast sites like these won't have much bay area. Whenever I see artists on sites, I try to peep em just to give em a chance. L.A. cats to me are some of the most open minded people I've encountered...regardless if you believe it or not. I go to school at FLorida A&M, which is a historically black college and has blacks from all the major cities. Believe me, for a big city, L.A. has very open minded people. People from places such as Atlanta will like an artist ONLY because he's from ATL, and they'll like everything they do, but then they'll knock east coast because its too boring, and west coast because of whatever reasons. NY cats don't like most down south music, and only some west coast. Midwest seems to be pretty open minded too. But I would never call L.A. a mecca, it is for the west coast but bein it's the biggest city and all, it's expected that some people will like L.A. shit much more than whatever else, even if it shouldn't go down like that.

Nuthin wrong with liking LA rap at all. I luv LA rap. What is wrong tho, is to BE from california, and claim to be a WESTCOAST rap fan, and not even know who rick rock, knumbskull, khayree, or killatay is.
Thats pretty much like me being from the bay, claiming to be a westcoast rap fan, and not knowing who Battlecat, MC Eiht, and Bad Azz are.

I am from Spain and I know Nummy Num and Killa Tay.

I KNEW who rick rock was, but as I said I found out in 2000/2001. I just haven't heard of Khayree and don't know killy tay like that and if I asked most of my homeboys they wouldn't know either. If somebody from the bay didn't know battlecat, I wouldn't exactly be shocked, but mc eiht has been in movies and bad azz has been on a grip of videos and all. But what's bad on me is that I am a producer, and I am not expectin to blow up or anything but if I ever got some kind of name, people like you and SGV would say shit like "how the hell is he gonna talk about he a west coast producer but he hasn't heard of killa tay and khayree? He don't know shit about the west coast" then that will turn into "He don't know shit about the west coast, he don't even know who Luniz is" then it'll turn into "he said he grew up in L.A. but he never even heard I got five on it" and it goes on and on. So I really do keep my ears open and all, but if I am not exposed to somebody, I just don't go on the net or whatever to ask people who is who. I have probably heard of a lot of lesser known bay area rappers than khayree and killa tay, and they reaaaally don't know shit about them in L.A. so I don't really see the prob.

I don't think people fuck with this site to hear about the latest Bay artist. They come here to dickride Aftermath and Snoop. Go to the Siccness, they got a section just for the Bay(which is more poppin' than the section for L.A.), they got sections for Sacramento, Northwest Hip Hop, Midwest and South shit. If you want to learn about new artists, that's where to go.
Pretty much I trip out. If you're an artist yourself, you should know about the artists who came before you. I mean, not saying you don't have any, but where's the respect for the people who laid blueprints before you? Khayree was a big producer out the Bay and produced for a gang of people. Killa Tay is featured on C-Bo's albums all the time, he was on the Thug Lordz album, he's worked with Mitchy Slick, Outlawz, Luni Coleone, JT The Bigga Figga, Brotha Lynch, Spice-1, Bad Azz, King Tee and Mac Mall. That's just naming a few.
I doubt you'll find anybody in the Bay who don't know Battlecat.

hey man, you don't have to explain shit to me. I could care less to gossip about you if you became big. bottom line is you don't know who these dope well known cats from the bay are, and I was just helping you out. if you don't wanna learn about them, then fine, just be like the other 90% of this forum.

I feel you, I am very open to findin out who new people are and it's good that I can find out about em. I just don't like how I got put on the spot because I don't know them. It seemed more like I was gettin put on blast for not knowin them, then bein helped out.

It's nothin at all about me not showin respect to those before me, but just the fact I haven't heard of em doesn't mean I don't respect em at all. I really don't know who to blame for me not knowin about artists. Radio? Internet? Me for not researchin? Record stores in L.A.? Just L.A. period? Most of the time when I find out about artists such as them, who I would never hear on radio or TV, I usually hear about em from my homeboys who know about Bay area artists, which is how I heard of most of them. So it could be a shocker, even though I asked some people I know and the only one who knew about Killa Tay was somebody who's 26 and is a rapper, but the rest of my homeboys didn't know them either.

Don't blame record stores. Tower and the Wherehouse ALWAYS carry Bay shit. Don't blame the net, there's PLENTY of Bay websites. Possibly blame radio or yourself.

Well tell me this...just goin to Tower or Wherehouse, you see 100s of rappers you've never heard of right? I only notice somethin if it's available to be played or if it's playin in the store, and even when I see posters and all, I won't buy it. I rarely buy CDs for established artists, so even when I see CDs for artists like them, I won't just buy it especially if I never heard it. I know of a lot of west coast websites but I haven't seen too much audio from them on there, even though I have heard a lot of bay artists on them. drop some links for bay area websites that have some shit. Otherwise, this convo pretty much needs to end.
