Where were you when you heard...

[Young Tre]

"I got 5 on it" ? I remember playin Playstation or some shit when I got5 on it came on, as soon as I heard all that talk about Oakland and stuff I was like "Oaklands got rappers besides 2pac?!?"
"Hyphy" ? - I remember I was layin with my girlfriend and it came on the radio, not only did this song single handedly introduce me to Hyphy but I remember thinking "DAMN!! Hyphy's a bay thing!! I'm from the bay!!" and bein so proud that the bay finally had somethin.
"Super Hyphy" ? I remember hearin about this song and bein like "Super Hyphy? How gay" but then I heard Super Hyphy chillin at my friends house on a mix and that was my anthem last summer.
"Feelin Myself" ? In my friends car like 2 days after it came out my friend played this for me, I had no idea who Mac Dre was and when I heard the song I didn't eve know he was from the bay I just remember thinking, "How is this guy not famous?"
"Tell Me When to Go" ? I downloaded this shit but it didn't set in till I saw so many ads for it how much was riding on this song.

To me this are the 5 most influetiantal (sp) bay songs ever and I was thinkin about the first time I heard them so share ur thoughts...

I heard was blazzin when I heard "I Got 5 On It"....it was waaaay back during the middle skoo dayz.
I heard "Hyphy" at a club when some broad was tryna get at me. The DJ said it was an exclusive he just got in that day so I guess I was one of the first to hear it.
I heard "Super Hyphie" when I was cruising in da car and that shit came on the radio. First i kinda thought it was gay, but later on the REMIX got me hooked.
I heard "Feelin' Myself" at skoo when my hb just bought the album. We slapped that shit for hella long while sippin on henny.
I heard "Tell Me When To Go" on my computer wen it first got leaked. I didnt like it AND I STILL dont like it. I might be the only bay nigga to think like that but yea.

If you wana talk about influential, try "Get Stupid" by Mac Dre. "Get On My Hype Remix" had a good run also and one of the best hyphy tracks in my opinion.

 

[StupidFace]

man I was in grade 7 blazin when I heard I got 5 on it, but then again I didnt buy the CD or anything... I didnt start feeling the bay as the best until like 1999

 

[D-Rose]

5 on it. - Shit, that was 94-95 right? I was only in the 5th grade but I was on that shit. Along with my 4Tay Playas Club casette single w/ like 22 remixes, lol.

Hyphy - In the car on the way to school probably

Super Hyphy - ^ Same as above

Feelin Myself - I was a few months late getting Ronald Dregan. I got it like a week before Dre died. Heard that song and got hyphy driving my dad's camry.

Tell Me When to Go - This forum.


^^^ What dude said about Get Stupid. A few days after Dre's death I was at a club and they played it. Shit, I literally had CHILLS when it came on. The whole club got beyond stupid, they got fuckin comatose with it.
