Yeah hippy hill is dope..but the ameoba in LA is a little bigger..they also have one in Berkeley that's not as big as SF tho

In store shows at Rasputins and Ameobas. Bay rap cats slangin tapes outta trunks of cars in parking lots and in front of record stores. Done seen everybody from Silkk and King George to Agerman, DJ Shadow and Tajai tryna promote and slang tapes.

Cats really don't know how long and deep bay area hip hop waters been runnin in them streets. Whats funny is I used to search high and low for a copy of Stackin Chips on disc before the internet really started crackin like that. Searched every single Ameoba, Rasputin, Warehouse, in the state of Cali I swear, sh1t was outta print, outta sight

Came across a used copy in a dusty azz mom n pops store in LA that was shuttin down, and even that one was a "promotional copy"

I got a promo or club edit of stackin chips on vinyl..it only has like 6 songs..can't find it at the moment..I've copped a tape from king George back in the days..seen him a few times,,that fool is still salty about the no limit thing..I dunno..even if he was on no limit, it prob wouldn't of mattered anyway..it's not like anyone really blew up out the 30 artists they had and had major success on no limit..

I saw him at the rasputins across the street from the newpark mall around 01. Told me the same sh1t about No Limit

Still got this sh1t on a dubbed tape somewhere



Another disc I used to search high and low for was Uncle Sam's Curse. Searched for a used copy for yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaars bruh. Was in every used bin and section @ amoeba and rasputins. No matter which store I was at I would ALWAYS come across stacks n stacks in the A section of these 2 muthafvkin CD's......
