Free Music Notes for Bay Area's Greatest Hits, Vol. 1
Free Music Review: One Of The All-Time Great Compilations
Hit: 5 Stars
First of all, one luv to the bay for putting down some of the best lyricists and musical talent to ever walk into the studio from Sly & The Family Stone to Peebles to Too Short to The Click. This compilation gives us a view of the bay area rap scene came through and to me a lot of information of the independent rap label came about. The compilation starts of with Numskull of The Luniz giving you a thesis of what to expect on this compilation and the CD just rolls into it with "I've Got 5 On It. The CD just flows on with interviews and some of the trunk rattling joints that put the trademark on the bay area rap scene. Mac Mall gives great insight on the formation of YBB and on how Vallejo(35 miles north of Oakland) was a hotbed in the making for gangster rap. Another reason I appreciate this CD is due to the fact this compilation did not exclude MC Hammer for what may happen with him and all of the sellout controversy that went on in the early '90's. The CD gives us an all-star cast at the end with the cut "Bay Luv". Overall this was a maximum effort from the bay. As I have been saying again and again, we need some from the bay or L.A. to step up today flip the script to the way it was. The only way is to stop trying to compete with the mainstream artist because they are in for a minute. All I have to say is the bay area produced some of the best music in the rap music industry and will never be forgotten. One Luv to the Bay!!!!
