Go check out my Bay Area 1993 video I dropped. I covered that 💯

[@ok-go2dx]

One of the greatest bay albums

[@maniacmasturbator2411]

@@B-KnockzTV For the confusion on the Game Recognize Game’s release year, JT’s album Playaz N the Game was released in 93’ (I think). That version of Game Recognize Game has one verse from JT and one verse from Mac Mall. The remix of Game Recognize Game is the one with the music video and that was on the radio. That has 3 verses from JT. Mac Mall is only on the chorus in that version. This version is on the GLP album ‘Straight out the Labb’, which came out in 94’. Some of the years shown on Google and wiki are questionable. Wiki has 11/5’s Fiendin 4 the Funk’s released date as March 31, 1995, but I’m sure it was out in late 94’. Quinn’s Live-N-Direct and Cellski’s Mr. predictor were also either very late 94’ or very early 95’, but the dates shown online vary a lot.

[@erykahhoney588]

That Bay Area Playaz compilation was also a banger. Shakillas song was my fav. 🙏🏾. It sure if it came out in 94 or not
