It took him offline until early 2000 when he produced that intro solo album. I know sod all about the dirty south form the mid ninties onwards, so if you want g'head and pick some tunage. I might recognise a few I didn't know existed! Either way so far this has been a great series. He (Bubba) did some demo stuff on other peoples tracks in the mid ninties then he broke his back.

"Oh yeah there’s no real 90s history there cept Bubba" Actually there's some class southern stuff from the period, Bubba's a bit more late ninties-early 2000s, I think his first album was 2001, something like that.

Loving the picks from the west coast, being an east coast fan early on myself I preffered the grittier new york sound. But listneing to regulate and paparazi when they first came out was fresh. There was some good prgressive sound coming out of the west coast during NYs title grabbing era though and these picks prove it. Natural Born Killers I still have the original single of, as I also have of Slick Ricks 'Tell a tale of LA county jail'. Slick should have made it into your top ten yo, he was happenin'. Final point on 2pac. Hmm. This is a tough one cos when it comes to criticising 2pac or biggy it's like dissing the pope. I'm with you in that when I listen to 2pacs sound now it feels dated, but so does a lot of that school. 2pac is good too, you're right, but does he warrant the status? For me I'd say that he was a lyrical genius, his flow was tight and he put a lot of heart and soul into his early work. His work ethic was extreme too, blazing up and cutting tracks for hours (This allowing many others to cash in after his death of course). His was the first of a really 'confessional / progressive' feel that I really heard, not to say he was first, just that it felt that way for me at the time. All in all I prefer Biggy's sound, his flow can be incredible sometimes (Listening to his freestyles I -still- shout out 'ooh' at some of the lines). But 2pac deserves an award for pusing things forward. What makes me sad is that he eventually became the machine that Naz decries. Everybody jumped on pacs back and released everything hed ever recorded mixed in with their own. If I have to listen to 'pacs life' once more on MTVBase I will scream. 2pac RIP, Biggy RIP too. To the rest of you musical car jackers BACK THE FUCK OFF AND LEAVE THE MEMORY ALONE. you could do dirty south next…Oh yeah there’s no real 90s history there cept Bubba.
