Rarest Bay Album?

- Start date
Damn I have or had more than half of the tapes mentioned, SLM is dope, "City Slickaz" is the knock!
The rarest I can think of is Ironics demo tape he did with Johnny Z, My friends brothers car was supposed to be in his video or some shit and he got a copy. There was some sort of falling out period which made it so the De Vallejo album was done by K-Lou and Stevie Dee when it got released in stores and this tape was lost. I ended up getting in contact with Johnny Z himself and asked him about it and he shot me a copy, I wouldn't sell it for anything. Took me like 10 years to get a hold of it.

i ain't got anything thats too rare. prolly the rarest album i got is Spice 1 - Let It Be Known. other than that i got a bunch of underground bay shit. nuthin i would really call rare even tho there ain't many copies printed up and or it was just a demo/mixtape type shit so it was just a cd-r with a computer print out cover.
Just to come back on a few albums mentioned in the thread so far:
Cold World Hustlers-Cold Streets was rereleased on cd last year, apparently by E-Sic himself. It should still be pretty easy to find, at least on the internet. Fucking classic album.
Dush Tray-I'll Rather Lounge was also rereleased last year. Another favorite. You can probably still get it from www.rapbay.com
CWH's Iceland isn't that rare in that there's always some being sold on ebay (litterally every week), but it still sells for a lot of money. They should rerelease that one. I know I'd scoop one or two in a second.
3XKrazy-Sick-O is not rare at all. I got one for about $2 two years ago. You can still get it off the Internet easily. It's dope.
Dangerous Dame-I Got What You Want ain't rare, it's on 99cents bin status. Make Room 4 Daddy is a little rarer, but not that much. Escape From The Mental Ward is a lot more.
SLM-Coming Out The Fog is not so rare. You don't have to pay that much money to get it, though probably more than your average used tape.
The first U.D.I. album is getting pretty rare. They should rerelease that shit.
Do Or Die-Falling In Love With The Game is hella rare. Another one I'd like to see rereleased.
But like somebody said, the rarest ones are probably those special request Too Short tapes. That'd be like the holy grail of old school bay rap.
