Mac Mall, (born Jamal Rocker in Vallejo, California) is a West Coast rapper who became known in the mid/late 1990s, as one of the local artists putting the Bay Area on the hip hop map. Mac Mall was signed to Young Black Brotha Records. One of Mac Mall's first singles was a song called ?Ghetto Theme?, and the music video directed by Tupac Shakur in 1993. He was also longtime friends with the Mac Dre, who was his mentor early on in his career/ repairing their friendship a couple of years before Dre's death.

He is also cousins to E-40 and B-Legit. In 1993 Mac Mall released his debut album Illegal Business? on the Young Black Brotha label. He was just 15 years old at the time his debut album was released. Khayree Shaheed worked as the producer and the album featured Ray Luv, Mac Dre and The Mac. In 1995 he contributed a verse to E-40's ?Dusted and Disgusted?, and in 1996 he signed a record deal with Relativity Records, which released his second, and most successful album, Untouchable. In 1999, he started his own Sessed Out label, the first release being the compilation Mac Mall Presents the Mallennium, followed by his first solo album on the label, Illegal Business? 2000 a year later, although his popularity of a few years earlier had waned. Immaculate followed in 2001, on which he mixed gangster rap with religious themes, with Mackin' Speaks Louder Than Words in 2002 and Illegal Game in 2004. He also contributed to the first ?Boss Ballin? compilation record produced by D-Shot, cousin of Mac Mall and brother of E-40 and former member of the Bay Area Group ?The Click?. Stupid Doo Doo Dumb. Due to various legal troubles, Mac Dre didn't have the opportuntity to deliver a full-fledged follow-up to his second album, Young Black Brotha, until 1998 -- five years after YBB was released. The resulting record, Stupid Doo Doo Dumb, doesn't quite live up to its predecessor, mainly because it's missing the production of Khayree. His replacements, K Lou, Funk Daddy and Johnny Z, are all fine, but lack his distinctive spark. Nevertheless, they provide Mac Dre with a serviceable backdrop for his coolly funky West Coast hardcore hip-hop. Dre doesn't stray from the typical topics, but he has a good, stylish lyrical flow that makes Stupid Doo Doo Dumb relatively fresh in these gangsta-saturated, fin de siècle days. Mac Mall.

Jamal Rocker (born June 14, 1975), better known by his stage name Mac Mall , is an American rapper from Vallejo, California who became known during the 1990s as one of the artists responsible for making the Bay Area a respected hip hop location. Mac Mall is the cousin of E-40 and B-Legit. Mac Mall was longtime friends with Mac Dre, who was his mentor during his early career. Mac Mall released his debut album Illegal Business? in 1993 at the age of sixteen. The album sold over 200,000 copies independently, a major feat for an independent artist and label. He met Tupac Shakur shortly after the album's release, who praised the album and later directed a music video for the single "Ghetto Theme". In 1996, Mac Mall signed a record deal with Relativity Records, which released his second and most commercially successful album, Untouchable . In 1999, he started his own label Sesed Out Records to release his third studio album Illegal Business? 2000 . It was followed by the albums Immaculate and Mackin' Speaks Louder Than Words over the next two years, before taking a hiatus from solo albums and instead started working on collaborative albums with JT the Bigga Figga and Mac Dre. Mac Dre was murdered before his and Mac Mall's collaboration album Da U.S. Open was released in 2005 and features some of his last recordings. Mac Mall released Thizziana Stoned and the Temple of Shrooms on Thizz Entertainment in 2005, his first solo album in four years and first album for the label. Mac Mall released the albums Mac to the Future in 2009 and The Rebellion Against All There Is in 2012. His latest album, Legal Business? was released exclusively digitally in 2015. Mac Mall released an autobiography, entitled My Opinion , in 2016. The Appearances. The Appearances stands as one of the definitive surveys of the Thizz Emperor’s work. It contains the most diverse selection of beats of any Mac Dre album, and yet Dre fits his inimitable style to every setting. Whether it’s the aggressive, Death Row-style gangsta rap of “Dangerous” or the smoothed out G-funk of “Fast Money,” Dre’s nonchalant flow always works. He was one of the few rappers who could communicate both menace and hilarity without every adjusting the tone of his voice — depending on the context of the song and his choice of words, Dre could play the gangster and the prankster, sometimes in the same verse. Despite his versatility when it came to collaboration, Dre always evinced a certain magic when he was working in familiar territory — specifically, with his peers and fellow Bay Area slanguists. He appears particularly inspired alongside OGs like Too $hort, Spice 1 and B-Legit —“Out of Range,” “Hoes Love It” and “Valley Joe” are among the best songs here. However, his musical soulmate might well have been Andre Nickatina. The monstrous “Cadillac Girl” symbolizes their singular chemistry..

Moore California State University, Sacramento “When hip hop’s true influence as a cultural movement is finally under- stood. .people will recognize that the very same synergy at the heart of hip hop’s commercial success has also informed our generation’s ac- tivist and political theorists.” —Baraka Kitwana Hyphy (pronounced Hi-fee), is a genre of rap and lifestyle associated with Bay Area hip hop culture that emerged in early 2000 and by 2009 evolved into a counter-cultural social movement for marginalized youth. Hyphy was originally a part of Bay Area vernacular used in local neigh- borhoods as an actual hyperbole on the word hyper. It eventually came to mean an unbridled release of energy that could include excitement, frus- tration or uncontrolled anger. The synergy of anger mixed with raw and aggressive sounds in the musical beats created a powerful reflection of street life and party style rap.1 The aesthetic dimensions of Hyphy in- clude sideshows (car culture), slanguage (language), turfin’ (dancing), fashion, and the independent hustling/marketing of an artist. Each aes- thetic is heavily influenced by the everyday reality one experiences while living in urban spaces. The dynamism of Hyphy is carefree resistance; the sound, in combination with the everyday marginalized lived exper- iences. The Hyphy Movement emerged as a collective for activism as 38876 esr_37 & 38 Sheet No.

    Dominican Scholar Scholarly and Creative Works Scholarly and Creative Works Conference 2020 Conference 2018 Apr 19th, 2:40 PM - 2:55 PM Origin of Bay Area Hip Hop Alexandra Schumacher Dominican University of California Survey: Let us know how this paper benefits you. Schumacher, Alexandra, "Origin of Bay Area Hip Hop" (2018). Scholarly and Creative Works Conference 2020. 28. https://scholar.dominican.edu/scw/scw2018/all-conference/28 This Event is brought to you for free and open access by the Student Scholarship at Dominican Scholar. It has been accepted for inclusion in Scholarly and Creative Works Conference 2020 by an authorized administrator of Dominican Scholar. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Origins of Bay Area Hip-Hop Alexandra Schumacher Dominican University of California Advisor: Dr. Jordan Lieser abstract At the present, there is minimal scholarly research on the origin story of Bay Area hip-hop to compliment the various articles and books by hip-hop experts and artists. The consensus that emerges from the existing secondary literature is that hip-hop originated on the East Coast and later emerged on the West Coast with its own unique style. These accounts, while well documented, only include a few mainstream figures and styles related to the Los Angeles hip-hop scene. Looking past mainstream hip-hop, this study pieces together the origins of Bay Area hip-hop through both mainstream and underground key figures of the West Coast such as E-40, Too $hort, and Keak Da Sneak, and how it shaped present day Bay Area hip-hop culture.

Jordan), a 22- year-old Bay Area resident who wakes up on the morning of December 31, 2008 and feels something in the air. Not sure what it is, he takes it as a sign to get a head start on his resolutions: being a better son to his mother (Octavia Spencer), whose birthday falls on New Year’s Eve, being a better partner to his girlfriend Sophina (Melonie Diaz), who he hasn’t been completely honest with as of late, and being a better father to Tatiana (Ariana Neal), their beautiful four year-old daughter. Crossing paths with friends, family, and strangers, Oscar starts out well, but as the day goes on, he realizes that change is not going to come easily. His resolve takes a tragic turn, however, when BART officers shoot him in cold blood at the Fruitvale subway stop on New Year’s Day. Oscar’s life and tragic death would shake the Bay Area – and the entire nation – to its very core. 2 Q&A WITH WRITER/DIRECTOR RYAN COOGLER What originally inspired you to make this film?
