i didn't pick up on it until 1996 or 1997 or so, when i was 16. The first album i got my hands on was Mac Dre - Stupid doo doo dumb.
After that i was bumpin Ghetto D and thr 17 reasons Comp. I was instantly hooked

I Was always into rap music before, but i lived in LA so i didn't know about the bay shit. Then i moved to the bay and my eyes opened quickly.

My first one was Life is Too Short when it was released in 88 and Bigg Ocean Mobb IV-1-5 was also one of my first Bay LPs. Not to forget the Homicide Knockin off All Weak MCs in 91.
