this is a personal favorite of mine "let's ride" by richie rich off of 'seasoned veteran'

 

[Skhelet]

X-Raided is more like Sacramento though... but whatever, Raided is the shit anyways. Definitely cop you some Yukmouth.

 

[Hostile Apostle]

Mac Dre should have made it big, IMO he's a legend....died November 1st though.

Ask a guy on this board named Sentenced. The guy got me started and he knows everything about the bay....even though he's from Canada.
