This was a really inspiring convo with Sunspot. Who else from the Bay Area underground hip-hop scene do you want to see on our podcast?

I recall that soulful instrumental in the background was on one of the UHB or Mystik Journeymen albums. Nas used the same sample on a song call Remember The Times. The sample is from Carol Douglas's "We Do It". Peace to The Living Legends.

Great video, my favorite part of Bay Area rap music over the years has been the variety! Got Mobb shit like Cougnut, E-40, B-Legit, Earlier Mac Dre, RBL Posse, Jacka, etc.. but then you got Hieroglyphics/Living Legends/Locksmith style stuff that is more laid back and then you got the more party Hyphy stuff like Keak the Sneak, Later Mac Dre, etc... The Bay has had a wonderful diverse set of rapping over the years which is a big reason why i love rap music from the Bay over the years.

The amount of music the Living Legends made is insane ...so many albums,solo shit and underground tapes and cds....I still have alot of them...

For real man. I bought Black Sands Ov Eternia on a hunch back in the day. Didn’t listen to it for around 4 months then when I did, started buying other stuff.ff I could find. Then the solo stuff, they’re the reason I moved from Anaheim to Oakland, why I went to Berkeley to stay up in the area. Pretty much everyday of high school and after, I was listening to legends stuff. Crazy amounts of my life have the Legends as my soundtrack. Hopefully they do a documentary one day. Murs has his podcast that I’m listening to and I was like wait a minute, he lived in Buena Park? Like, I knew had seen him locally but was like nah. Turns out it was him all along.

UNSIGNED AND HELLA BROKE

@MiguelPerfecto 3 ай бұрын

Unsigned and Hella Broke publication put me up on Ras Kass and Xzibit well before they dropped any music. There was a time when Mystic Journeymen opened up for top acts. I remember going to shows and leaving talking about them instead of the top bill. I recall telling one of my homies that this wouldn't last and word was going to get out about them. Sure enough, eventually they were headlining shows. To this day I say they are one of the best live performers I've ever seen. It was over when they perform 'Never Forget'! Listening to the song now makes me appreciate how them and Lateef when he performed 'The Quickening', got everyone so hyped. Great songs but the stage presence was something else....

Salute @Dregs_One for reppin the Bay! Fellow #BayBred folks. I had commented a while back to have any of the Legends on, and you got the right one(no diss to any of my LL brothas) hopefully be the first of the Legendary super group. I knew Aesop years prior when he came up from Fresno to be in a group with my homies I grew up with. When we, HA crew(became Tha HA Mansion) moved to #The Compound in Oakland basically next door to the #Outhouse and other side of us Stat7(@buildestroy7 - Cory Shaw) was all underground Hip-Hop culture. All day erry day was beats, rhymes, graffiti, skateboarding and with Doze Green, B-Boyin.... Anyway, big up my true brother for life @SunpotJonz aka #Distructicon, preciate you for bringin me along on all our wild ass adventures in that time and still. Much respect and love ta all my LL brothers. #LL #4TrackIsKing #ControlYourDestiny #DontBeASheeple #HA42FamFoLife

First heard Depths Of Survival on the Wake Up Show but then he dissed them on Sandman's Revenge. Always wondered what that was all about.
