THIS QUESTION SHOULD BE ASKED ABOUT BABY BASH,WHO EVERYBODY HERE CONSIDERS A BAY ARTIST BUT EVERY OTHER WORD OUT HIS MOUTH IS TEXAS,INCLUDING EARLIER THIS MONTH WHEN HE WAS ON POWER 106 IN L.A. ,HE WAS INTRUDUCED ASS A TEXAS ARTIST...WHEN I HEAR BABY BASH I HEAR DOPEHOUSE AND TEXAS INFLUENCE ON HIS MUSIC,FOOLS WHO LISTENS TO SPM AND DOPEHOUSE KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT..TUPAC ON THE OTHER HAND PEPPED L.A. IN HIS MUSIC AND HIS INTERVIEWS FULLY ALONG WITH THE ENTIRE WEST COAST..
tupac repped allot of shit on some songs, but I think his individuality made him universal....since he was from every damn where, ny, boston, richmond..etc.... and was open to all kind of music, he could sound like whatever he felt like. NOt every one of his songs even sounds like the typical kali style...anyone who's heard the REAL UNRELEASED albums know the deal.....pac's music was just pac mane, i don't think it could ONLY be labeled bay or l.a. or even kali....just my opinion.......
Yup. It's hard to put Pac in one "category" musically or geographically--he basically did a little bit of everything, and he did it all well.
Outkast is kind of the same way to me--technically, they're from Atlanta, but they dabble in so many different sounds and lyrical styles that the only thing that makes me think of them as Southern is the accents in their voices. Otherwise, they could be from anywhere (if I didn't know any better). It's cool when you have artists whose music stretches beyond geographical boundaries like that...
PEACE!

Pac moved to L.A pretty much right after he got recognized as a rapper. He didn't spend a whole lot of time in the Bay after 2Pacalypse dropped...I look at him as a West Coast Rapper, but more so on the So Cal tip. No Bay Area rapper has blown up the way 'Pac did, so it's really hard for me to say he's a BAY rapper...I'd say he was a rapper that spent time in the Bay!!
