Kam was always a dope MC. He had good flow, style and cadance.

@ Robbie, yeah that was the guy from The Nonce. I never got hands on that BUMS album, but I liked those singles- Free My Mind and Take A Look Around.

The irony of KAM’s new joint bein’ called “Givin’ It Up” is not to be ignored. He has a few records I’m literally nutso about- “Every Single Weekend” from the Boyz N The Hood soundtrack is my favorite of all though. I didn’t know who he was but that was my favorite joint on the whole tape.

Eiht’s best album IMO was ‘We Come Strapped’. After that, eh.

-D!

Yeah, it’s not as much that I didn’t know these guys were putting out new shit because I more or less knew that all of these guys were- but the point is that LA rappers never put the mic down! These dudes are O.G.’s, they can’t leave them game alone.

I agree that DJ Quick is still very large profile and for that matter so are Daz and Kurupt, but anyone down with the DPGz never calls it quits. Soopafly won’t stop rapping! What about Bad Azz or Lil 1/2 Dead?

After Madkap, Coke did the solo tack Questions on Loud (prod by the beatnuts) then went onto be in Colored Section. Sure I read somewhere the BUMS were still about, and yeah terrible name for them and the Nonce, could never admit to liking either group being in the uk hahaha

King Tee is still dope too

I think even Kokane, Jayo and Egyptian Lover have albums out in the last 3-4 years. What’s next a Yomo and Maulkie comeback? LA Dream Team reunion tour?

I was listenin to Right State Of Mind by The Nonce the other night. Nice album to get lifted to cuz their beats are so minimal. Tragic ending plus their name (Im told) means something like pedophile in British slang!Bad bizness HAHAHA!!

“I’d love to know what happened to the B.U.M.s. They were dope.”

One of them was found dead by the freeway a few years back.
