And honestly, if he still stayed in the Bay, would he be as recognized as he is now? smh....If you want to be successful in this music industry you CAN'T have this 'I gotta stay in the hood' type mentality, fuck that, you have to get out that mode, get your money, get out your hood and expand yourself. Take trips mayne....Come on now....I shouldn't even have to be saying all this right now
I believe in making moves, but he's still giving E-40, Mac Dre, and a couple of bay artists' respect to this day, so he's not forgotten the folks he was first associated with. Long as he doesn't burn bridges with the people that put him on, I can't say at this point he's turned on the bay.
