What's wrong with going to L.A.? I'm always down there, and nothing bad has happened to me. It depends on how you carry yourself wherever you're at. If you act like you're hard, you'll get tested like you're hard...if you act normal, you'll be straight. I LOVE Southern California, it's like a second home.
I've been to South Central L.A., East Long Beach, Riverside, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, downtown L.A., Monrovia, Pacoima, all through Orange County. Seen both sides of it and I'm still here, untouched. You just can't be disrespectful. Same thing if I were to go to East San Jose...
