"Oakland has always been filled wit’ a gang of lyrical MC’s that “gas” ever since Hip Hop really got started in the Bay. Looking at the Old School, you have Askari X, Pooh-man, Richie Rich, D-Loc, V. White, X.O., Rappin’ Ron (RIP), Ant Diddley Dog, Father Dom, Seagram (RIP), 2 Pac (RIP), Agerman, Keak Da Sneak, BA, Opio, Tajai, Yukmouth, Mr. Ill and Shock G.
Oakland’s New School of lyricists is emerging with Beeda Weeda, J.Stalin, D-Lo, Sleepy D, Yung Moses, G-Wet, Kaz Kyzah, Stevie Joe and Mahasen to name a few of the ones holding the title.
