The bay area hasnt produced a rap superstar that was born and raised from there

[Playa With Tha Passport]

Care to come back and name a NY rap superstar who was bigger than Hammer,anybody who had James Brown cosign?had Michael Jackson shook?

Care to name any regional stars as big as E-40 who have had as many hits and platinum and gold albums over a 20 year span?Anybody with the natural charisma of Mac Dre,raps only rock star

Has anyone ever moved to NY and become a star and gave all the credit to NY like 2pac did with the oakland? any international NY icons,goat candiates we would know of?

Matter of fact you could argue its more or equally impressive being a local star in the bay,as it is being a national star....It aint easy standing out amongst the population when 90% of the population got star power

Take the average citizen from the bay and drop em in NY and he's a god,take your most charismastic NY'er and drop em in the bay though?he would probaly be a laughing stock,and the p*ssy ammounts would be scarce

If they don't resist,and decide to take it all in like Pac,who knows?they might become goat status.

Dudes really advocating for hammer

3 albums that sold 3 million+
Several hit singles on each of those albums
1 album that sold 23 million worldwide

And was rap's 1st global superstar <<<<<<< the bay area did that

Even the album that considered a flop back in the day sold 2 million worldwide

Remember getting a cassette single of this for christmas one year

Last time I checked he was rapping on all his records

Just because he was a sellout and had a relatively clean cut image in comparison to his peers at the time doesn't mean you can just dismiss him.

How was Hammer "not a rapper" when he was doing the same chit Big Daddy Kane was doing?

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Hammer is on the level of vanilla ice

What kind of fukk boy logic is this?

Was Pac not a rapper to you because he was wildly successful?

 

[CouldntBeMeTho]

E40 is definitely a rap superstar too.. He's worked with half the list in the op. Aye @aboss4real24 where'd u go?

 

[Aufheben]

now bay area nikkas have resorted to championing a guy widely recorgnized as one of the biggest sell out rappers in hip hop history just because he sold records

i lost 30 mil so i spent another 30
cos unlike hammer 30 million can't hurt me

hov shytted on the entire legacy of the biggest rapper from the bay in 2 bars

his name has basically become synonymous with going broke
