DJ Amen & 106 KMEL releases the names of the Bay Area Freshmen 10, 3.0 out of 5 based on 6 ratings
Nice to see a couple real lyricist up there -
so whats the criteria for being a “freshman” Not having an official album? cause if thats the case, epic fail on omitting KEV CHOICE from this list.
I haven’t heard of all of these cats, but I’m pretty sure thats why they did the list in the first place, so i’mma check out the couple I don’t know yet. I think it’s a good look NO MATTER WHO MADE THE LIST because at least somebody is trying to get the new cats in the Bay together in a positive way. I already know the TYPICAL “Bay reaction” is too HATE on who made it (or eachother) and find something to wrong with PROGRESS rather than be supportive lol. Respect to Amen & them.
What know HAZMATBOYZ on the list man what were they smoking when they came up with this list.
If you don’t know who the HAZMATBOYZ are they are a group outta OAKLAND CA, and they should have been on this list for real. I am a TRUE HIP HOP head and I have been listening to these guys for a while now and they really have a sound unlike anything in the BAY AREA right now. Don’t take my word just check out their music at http://www.myspace.com/hazmatboyz and then ask yourself why didn’t they make the cut PEACE and real HIP HOP is alive in the BAY thanx to these guys.
FUCK AMEN! DUDES A HATER! WHO THE FUCK IS MOE GREEN? JAY ANT? P CHILD?

THAN THEM DUDES! BUT ITS ALL GOOD, IF I CATCH AMENS SOFT DJ A$$ IN SAN JO
HE GON GET POCKET CHECKED & TOOK FOR HIS CHAIN OL LAME ASS WHITEBOY!
SHARKS UP!
These responses are typical. Instead of being worried about who made the list, or who didn’t make the list. Take it for what it’s worth. An attempt to draw attention to some other artist, who likely haven’t had light shed upon them.
If you’re angry about not making this list, your career likely isn’t worth much anyone, because if you were focused on your career, you would understand how trivial or subjective the whole idea behind building ANY list is.
I’ve heard of a few artist on this list, I haven’t heard of a few artist on this list, but all in all…it’s an attempt by a 3rd party to shed light on people who may need some recgonition. If you were grinding so hard…things like LIST, would be the LEAST of your concern.
Build something of your own, before you try to tear something down someone else is trying to build.
This list isn’t going to make or break anybody’s career, your art, music, hustle, quality, and consistency will.
much love to everyone on the list, i c yall. if you not on there dont get mad just keep pushing youll get there. peace. – malki means king
All I have to say is I’m glad that KMEL is finally making an attempt to showcase more BAY AREA artist. I’m not tripping about us not making the cut because we have a following and we did it with out any radio play and a MAJOR budget. We have three 8mm videos done and completed and all of our MUSIC was mixed and mastered by MIKE DENTON and we all know who that is. what i would like to see is more BAY AREA artist push the LIMITS so that the BAY AREA can return to GLORY and be a FORCE to reckon with because there is a lot of talent in the BAY AREA. With that said if you want to see what Dem HAZMATBOYZ bring to the table you can check out our MUSIC and our videos at http://www.myspace.com/hazmatboyz and GOOD LUCK to all the artist in the BAY AREA and NEVER give up because this is not a GAME PEACE and GOD bless.
yeah The D.O.E Gettaz shoulda been on this list, off top. These top 10 niggas ain’t even on our level. Check us out at http://www.myspace.com/thedoegettaz
