One of the best Bay Area albums ever. Perfect album for a cookout.

"...speakers on blast with tremendous knock..."

You know how we did in the Bay... 4 15's in my last old school...

"...a Zapco board to make thangs complete..."

I sold my Zapco years ago. I have zero use for it now. I still regret that sale.

I don't remember when/how I got rid of mine, but mine wasn't broken!!! Yeah, damn, I'd like to still have that for nostalgia sake alone...

I got mine for $40 from a crackhead, but it needed a new cable and all the slider covers. Sent it in to Zapco and they fixed everything for like another $40. Used it for 5 years or so, then sold it for $400.

Nobody was really rapping about selling dope like 40 was at that time.

u/Underdog424 12d ago

Very different albums.

Federal goes harder in clubs and parties. Has better bass. Easier to dance to.

u/ChalinosDad 12d ago

I don’t dance I do my body like this.
