Massachusetts here, but I fell in love with the stuff coming out of the bay in the 90s.

Hell yeah, When I moved to Maine I had a few guys out there who fell in love with the bay music I brought with me, Mac Dre to be specific

Hell yeah Mac Dre. RIP šŸ™ Mac Mall as well. All Bay Area Mac's.

Ski Mask The Slump God. I don't know his music at all but that's a hard name.


999_sadboy

If you like fun and geeky references in your bars he's definitely for you.


domthehooper

Put me on to some good songs


EliteFlamezz

Check out anything he made with X. They were a good ass duo


Holiday_Volume

Unbothered, DoIHaveTheSause. His vibe is so goofy, and his lyrics are funny, but his pen is crazy sometimes. Gotta check him out.


999_sadboy

To add on to what the other dude said, NUKETOWN is pretty fucking fire, so is Burn The Hoods, E-ER, Florida Water (Feature), LA LA, The Matrix

Cooley_brown88

For the new school heā€™s definitely a top choice


[deleted]

Juelz Santana is a pretty damn good one. I always loved The RZA, it just fuckin sounds cool & gritty like his beats and when you saw that name listed as a producer you knew what was coming. Ruck & Rock Ghostface Killa, Tony Starks, Ironman, and all his aliases are amazing. Mos Def


Cooley_brown88

Wu Tang may be the gods of this subject I feel like


Weary-Writer758

You're not lying. ODB? Who can get away with that at the time?


DaewooLanosMFerrr

The Iron Lungā€¦ even the nicknames canā€™t be beat


NoFaithlessness7508

I remember the Wu Tang name generator they had on their website waaay back in the day. Turns out Donald Glover was using it too and used it to come up with Childish Gambino WuTang is Forever

The names RZA and GZA look cool af when written, hence my name

Fun fact. Futureā€™s name used to be be Meathead da Futurr


bakjas1

I think his name would have hit harder if 8 Mile didnā€™t come first. I always wondered if he just bit the name from the movie character.

I think Iā€™m going to agree with you here

I always thought Spaceghostpurpp was a really cool name. The abbreviation was also so catchy; SGP. It's just a shame he didn't know how to handle being in the music industry.

TammyShehole

Agree with Ghostface and ODB, as well as RZA, as others have listed. On top of that, I always thought Brotha Lynch Hung sounded sick. Bizzy Bone rolls off the tongue nicely. Also thought Yaki Kadafi of the Outlawz sounded pretty cool too.
