    From Album : Somethin' To Blaze To
    TRAK Records : 1993
    Top Authority was one of the first rap groups from Flint, Michigan and among the earliest of the underground Midwest rap scene to release a nationally recognized album. Bootleg, a member of the slightly later Flint group The Dayton Family, told Murderdog magazine, "We grew up together, same hood. We'd be together every day. That's family." He lists them as leading lights in Flint music, along with acts like Ready for the World and MC Breed. Rapper Chilla Pertilla defined Northern hip hop to Murderdog as "Eminem, Twista, Bone, Breed, Dayton Family, Top Authority, Esham, and ICP".
    They first came to public attention with the single "93 (Things Ain't How They Should Be)" from the debut album Something To Blaze To (TRAK Records, 1993). Something To Blaze To reached #21 on Billboard's Top R&B Albums chart in April 1994. The "rolling g-funk trio" (as allmusic describe members Shotgun, Dalo and Flex) followed up with Rated G for Wrap Records in 1995. It featured scratches from DJ Aladdin and reached #16 on the Top R&B Albums chart. allmusic considers 1997's Top Authority Uncut (The New Year) to be their best release. It peaked at #21, with the single "World War III" charting at #37 on Billboard's Hot Rap Singles. In 2009 Top Authority returned with their fourth album, kush music, on which MC Breed and Do or Die make guest appearances.

      Pac was already rapping and was THUGLIFE when this came out.

      @@__-ti2en Yeah, but you gotta think about it, MC Breed and Pac were homeboys, and Breed being from Michigan, you can't tell me that Pac was not introduced to that Gangsta, Gritty, G-Funk Sound hailing' from Michigan around that time. Warren G producing the songs that he did for Pac gave him the closest G-Funk sound that he could get next to anything being produced by Dr. Dre or Daz, "Gotta Get Mind" and "How Long Will The Mourn Me" were both Produced by Warren G and if you even listen to those albums that those songs were on, you can hear that both of those tracks were standouts among the rest.
      That being said; Thug Life weren't necessary known for anything G-Funk until the end of 1994, beginning of 1995 and that's when Pac was slowly transitioning into his times @ Death Row where primarily G-Funk was their sound.

      I can't say he was are wasn't. He definitely switch style when he left D.U. But to me though, him and MC Breed style was way different. Didn't know too much back then about that section with the rap, and really thought Top Authority WAS Pac at first and then when I found out it wasn't I thought they was from Cali for a long time😆. But like I said unless somebody like Warren G comes out who was around both together alot, I guess we won't really know but it's possible.

      Not trump, trump is just a small piece not the problem at all he actually gave a spot light to blacks . The problem is our country in general not one person it’s the system that’s in place which yes he could change but any of them could and usually don’t this bigger than trump, open your mind and eyes trump is just a puppet just like Obama no different we need real change
