Most of ya'll are just naming current Bay rappers that just rap, no legends.. Oakland started Hip Hop in the Bay area and the most units were sold by artists out of Oakland. Too Short is the greatests of all time from the Bay imho. And don't forget all of the words that came out of the town that is a part of hip hop culture period now(not just with in the bay). Shit like Fasho, Fashizzy, Hella, Go Dumb, go stupid, Hyphy, Bi-atch/Bi-otch, all that shit came from the town. I'm sorry to say but between Too Short in the 80's, The Luniz, Digital UnderGround and Pac in the early and mid 90's, and 3XKrazy in the later 90's, besides E-40 the Town is all that was poppin. Mac Dre was locked up and wasn't getting too much exposure until he got back out. And Frisco just isn't a city that has produced too many stars on a national scale like Oakland has imo.
