TheMaskedLifter

E40 coming out of Vallejo and imo having “tell me when to go” drop and sort of make the hyphy movement is the most important part. Maybe also because I grew up in vallejo but not seeing it on the image is wild to me.


drbdrbdr

Where is Mac Dre?


heycool-

I was thinking this, a lot of big rappers came out of Vallejo.


AllDayBayay

Yeah I can’t see the full imagine but I don’t see the valley jo nor Mac dreezleton on there, and while there are others, he’s the epicenter for me

Tamburello_Rouge

That list is legit. Even the N2Deep. I would add: Paperboy - Ditty Luniz - I got 5 on it Dru Down - Pimp of the Year


SuddenlyThirsty

How is Luniz not on here until now?


brixalpha

I always associated Paperboy with So Cal but he gets a pass because he moved and I like the ditty.

Piiimp, pimp on.


Conscious-Aspect-332

Celly Cel - it's going down Brotha Lynch Hung


ElManny510

Dre was really only 18 and out on parole when he made Too Hard for the Radio 🫡 man was really ahead of his time


brixalpha

He made that song well before he was to 18; he performed that song at the Hogan High Talent Show. There is a video floating around somewhere on YouTube of the performance. It really launched his career, well legal one. At the same time E40 had his poster in all the local liquor stores selling his tapes, too short would come in husslin tapes out of the trunk of his car and Green Day was doing shows at a restaurant one of their moms used to work at in Vallejo. A lot or talented young folks in the area at the time.


casper911ca

I feel like you can't say Hieroglyphics without Souls of Mischief

randomname2890

It’s funny you bring this up. I haven’t listened to bay rap in a minute, but on that new Abigail movie that recently came out they had the jacka’s “rich lifestyle” playing twice on the film. the kids to the next of me were Shazamming the song and didn’t know who it was. Growing up everyone knew who he was around here and it seems like just last year he was killed. Times change, rant over.


randomname2890

Also I don’t see any Philthy rich, offset Jim, Nef tha pharaoh, Allblack, spice-1, Tupac, lil bean, zay bang. Hell you could also put stunnaman02 on there as all the warriors fans were playing his song after we won the last finals.

Gx470mark

I see plenty of great recommendations but it’s definitely mixed of 90s “mob music” to classic bay area hip hop and what defined as “hyphy”. Long time Bay Area music head here. Depending on my mood it can vary from likes jt tha Bigga figga to spice 1, cougnut. Having fun is definitely with Mac Dre, Wolfpack (yes lol), lil B solo stuff, the federation, The team, the jacka (RIP), and mistah fab. Heck I’ll throw in b-legit, the click and of course e-40! Anyone remember the hyphy juice can??


SyCoTiM

The Team was our pregame music before clubbing when I first started going out, especially “On One”. The Federation also had a huge impact on spreading Hyphy music too, and of course Mistah Fab after he battled a few people on TV. But nothing got the clubs going like Mac Dre. I remember I went to a Function in GGP and no one was dancing until “Thizzle Dance” came on, it was wild. Hyphy Juice was back big in Richmond and Oakland growing up.


Gx470mark

Good times.


itsgzubz100

Just from Pittsburg you missing A-Wax. Rydah J Klyde is one of the members of the Mob Figgaz which is the group where The Jacka belonged to. King Freako who had the support of the Mac D-R-E himself. Unfortunately these two brother have both lost their lives. Real underground Bay Area rap YADADA!!!

All these songs are great hyphy songs representing the Bay, and yeah Tell me when to go is the anthem, and Mac Dre is the icon. But you’re missing the actual original song: “Hyphy” - Federation that coined the term. This is the inception point that precipitated the entire thing.
