it says "bay area artists" on the thread, but if u want to limit it to just rap, then its tupac, then hammer. pac sold over 30 million and hammer over 25 million. tupac may have been born in ny but he claimed bay till the day he died. he was and will always be bay. he lived here and got his start here. he never forgot his roots.
as for game, he may have got his start here, but he always claimed compton, not bay. tupac is the biggest bay area rapper of all time.

It says Bay Area Artists in the middle of a fucking rap forum. This ain't the classic rock fan message board. Shit and they won't even let me edit the title WTF!


I also said besides Tupac for a reason. We all know Tupac has sold more then anybody.

lol @ del. as much as i'm a fan, the most the dude might have ever reached was gold.

aside from tupac, i'll go with too short and hammer, sticking strictly with rap.

Del Did go gold. Yall should look it up before you try and clown. And Pac AINT from the Bay. Period. He is as much from Baltimore as he is the Bay.

for all of those talkin bout pac listen to the last minute of my block remix and you'll hear all the places he claimed as his "block"...yea he repped LA more than any of the other places but that can be because he was living there at the time? well regardless he always had love for all the places hes lived

Listen to "Old School" where he's talking strictly about NYC and his life growing up there. Whats your point.
