Rawest in the Bay huh? The nigga who's original rap name was MC New York & he did the song To Live & Die In L.A. Doesn't sound like someone who waz a so-called proud Bay representer.
He said he learned the game when he moved to Oakland. If that isn't credit, I don't know what is.
BUT, even though folks love the Bay, and it's a nice place to be...it really isn't when you're tryin' to get ahead in life. People who spend a lot of time out here, usually need to leave to hit a wider audience.
You have to understand why 'Pac loved L.A. I see it every time I go out there. Folks on the streets out there show love....WAAAAAAAY more than a lot of cats out here. We were down there a couple years back tossin' CD's out the window in traffic, and this dude pulls up and says, "This is NICE, I own this club down the street...here's my card...call me when you're back in town and you'll have a show". Dude tossed his card into my car and dipped. Everybody else who got a demo CD popped that shit in right then and there.That's how it is. Cats out here RARELY do shit like that. But, even though Pac loved it, he still gave credit to where he started out...and still threw Bay cats on his shit.
