I forget if I've already said it here but Bay Area hiphop is like a treasure trove of music. So many unique styles putting the listener up on West Coast "game" with "mob" influenced songs and songs with crossover appeal that don't at all sound contrived or corny.

Catching up on all these classics I missed and I see why they're called such.

Got some essential links?

When it comes to the Bay Area I mostly listened to stuff from Zion I, Grouch & Eligh to E-40. Everything from boom-bap to hyphy. Around 2006, I think, there was a small Hyphy trend for a few months. I remember playing Mista F.A.B. - Ghost Ride It at parties with my homies back in the days.

One of my all-time faves and which I in the recent months suddenly started listening to more and more again:
The Grouch & Eligh - No More Greener Grasses

Zion I's first 3 albums were dope as hell, too:

18 months ago I thought trap was dead and was honestly bored of it

Based thugger and future pushed the mainstream sound to exciting new spots.

trap music has many fruitful years ahead of it just based on the quick turnover of prominent artist. never doubt it.

Hieroglyphics - Oakland Blackouts

Del Tha Funky Homosapien - Corner Story

Souls of Mischief - 93 til Infinity

Souls of Mischief - Step to My Girl

Pep Love - Pacific Heights

Definitely. A lot of that stuf always staid fairly local I guess, which is why all these amazing albums aren't on any lists, but once you find them it's amazing.
