Lyricists from the Bay & NorCal

[thizzle925]

Can you guys hip me to some good Norcal & Bay lyricists? (Besides Zion I, blackalicious, hieroglyphics, souls of mischief, etc.) thanks.

Not to be rude, but there's been a thread made on this topic every other week. Use the "Search" option bro, and look up the threads.

my bad, it's just that people have been posting the same artists. I'm lookin for some tight shit to listen too, but mainly from artists that have that hiero, zion I, murs, or even madvillain/mf doom type sound. So scratch that, they dont' even have to be from the bay.

Ooooh ok. I don't know much about artists like that. I've heard of The Grouch, Zion-I, Sunspot Jones, Eli, Del...but you probably already know all of them.

The Coup might have that sound your talking about

 

[thizzle925]

Sunspot jones and Eli are new to me. Thanks man, good lookin out.

head over to the general hip-hop forum...or just search threads that i have made/posted in

I'm not positive, but I think they are in a group called Living Legends. It's a hip-hop group with rappers from all over the country..some of them are from the Bay Area. Check them out. Some of the guys from the group have solo albums out.

Yea i know what you're talking about, Murs is part of living legends. He's an MC from LA. He's dope as hell tho.


Murs & 9th Wonder - 316 The 9th Edition - check out that album if you like living legends artists.

I'm not an expert on any of these guys, but I thought Sunspot Jones was the weakest out of the group too. There's this one song by Sunspot Jones that I really liked..mostly because of the instrumental, it sampled "Dying In Your Arms". You probably know what I'm reffering to.

pick up these living legends albums:

living legends-almost famous
living legends-classic
grouch-making perfect sense
grouch-crusader for justice
eligh-poltergeist (one of my fav hip hop album of all time)
aesop the OL-black libra
scarub-heavenbound
scarub-new perspective
murs-3:16 9th edition
murs-the end of the begining
cma(grouch/luckyiamPSC)-all over
3mg(scarub/murs/eligh)-grand caravan to the rim of the world
G&E (grouch and eligh)-no more greener grasses

cant go wrong with any of these,will be a good start and introduction to everybody...would start with anything with eligh and murs. 2 of my favorites

Ive never even listened to em, but someone told me that People Under the Stairs are pretty legit. Dont blame me if they aren't. And Im not sure if theyre from the Bay, thats just what I heard.
