Was Short the only one to make records back in early 80's?

Let me go back to the real OG years '83-'84, can anybody tell me if
there were other Bay rappers making records besides Short Dog and 75 Girls
back then? Who knows the real oldschool history?

 

[dzellian]

WELL $HORT WAS MAKING RECORDS ALONG WITH FREDDY-B, SO I KNOW HE WAS RECORDING BACK THEN ALSO.

I THINK THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN TWO OTHER BAY AREA RAPPERS AROUND THAT TIME NAMED MAGIC MIKE AND CALVIN-T.

They weren't rappers, but it was definitely a huge hip-hop record out of Oakland from back then:

Royal Cash - Radioactivity


Then there's the Wild Boys, but that might've been a bit later like 85-86..

[AC Transit]

you know i heard about that...Double R was doing it big back in the day with dance/electronica music signed to a british label - From the O to the UK.

 

[DJxREMARKABLE]

yeah, thats one of Richie Rich's old records. the label is based out in UK or somethin and i think those records came out as imports.

 

[AC Transit]

i was kidding

but wasnt he the DJ for third bass too?

 

[Sav Scorcese]

No that was Rich Nice.

 

[dj pimp]

dj pimp AKA doc of rock dropped tapes in 83-84 and dropped wax with mike mosley in 85-86

I thought the UK Richie Rich and US Richie Rich were two different persons. That UK one had his own LP in 89 called I can make you dance where he had a track called Coming From London. Don't think US RR would make a song like that.
