I dont even like replying to threads like this, but fuck it, I am. I see my dude CRITIC saying some shit, and I got his back fade on any and everything he say right or wrong.

First off, SAN JOSE people- PLEASE STOP TRYING TO ASSIMILATE/DUPLICATE/REPLICATE other cities in the Bay Area!! Do your own thing and demand your respect for doing your own thing. You will never get anywhere attempting to be like others. Thats what made San Jo what it is from the get go, while others were players and macks, San Jo had Crips and Bloods. It aint all about gangs tho, its just a different steelo we got out here. Now ask yourself, if its all that weak and shit out here, why do muthafuccas continue to come out here? All those that they say San Jo aint got no Hood cats out here, they betta get some reports from they homies they have come to San Jo and got the Buisness from some rowdy "gang-bangers" at the B-hive, at the Ambassadors Lounge, and a couple of other spots, matter of fact one was caught on tape and featured on one of yall favorite rappers DVDs. Sure the rapper tried to say that that was his folks causing that commotion, but it was then San Jo safest city nice muthafuccas givin the buisness to another Bay City at they rappers record release.

How ignorant do some of yall sound braggin that your city got hella murders, and crime. thats just being young and dumb. Since its all that grimey, would that be the best place to raise your children? Another thing, why is it the cats that rep the hardest for the worst aspects of whatever city AINT DID SHIT THEMSELVES to have that label, they just going on what was put down before them? I have been thru all the bay area cities, as well as all the cities in So. Cal, and as with EVERY city From Compton and Watts to Frisco and Oakland, they have they good nice parts, and they have they bad parts. For an example, one can go to San Fran, and just be around the downtown area, and make a day out of it, eating, kicking it with your bitch, or whatever and that person wouldnt leave saying that Frisco is hard, grimy, gangster. Why? Cause he didnt go into the right areas to see that. If you go downtown SJ, you see the nicer areas, you aint in the East, you ainty in the South, you aint in the back streets, you in where "everybody goes". Come on keep it real yall.

Gangs. So San Jo got gangstas, so the fuck what. next time you feel you gotta test or question the "gangsta" of someone up out the 408, you need to get at your big homies that have been to the Penn, and those who have been to the Youth Authority. You see, when you get a grown man talking about his dealing with people from different areas, he keep it real, and dont give you a sheltered view that he got off some fairy tale rap CD of a life that the rapper aint even livin his muthafuccin self. Aint there a few famous bay area rappers that just recently made it known they were gang affiliated? meaning on some crip/blood shit? Not "turfs", oh, there aint no crips/bloods in the bay, my bad yall....

It comes down to dick ridin. I have heard some weak ass shit from San Jo, as well as alot of weak ass shit from the general bay area. Alot of folks dont have the nuts enough to say its weak tho, cause they dont wanna be outcasted from the so-called "in-crowd" popular opinion is definatley in effect in the Northern Cali music scene.

...continued...

In closing I just wanna say. Stop with the asking questions on why muthafuccas aint being accepted. I give a fuck less if certain folks aint got none of my albums, I still get paid and eat off this shit when I want. I look at it like this, I NEVER have bouth any shit by No Limit when they were in thier heyday, but just cause I wasnt feeling it, dont mean P wasnt gettin his money. 408, just be you, and make your music, fuck trying to be liked by the "locals" its bigger then Northern California. Muthafuccas may not like you out this way, but your shit might be Tha Shit in texas, Detroit, Kansas, wherever else, but if you dont get it out there to those folks you will never know, you will just be wasting time trying to please the folks right across the water, cause they "so hood". And thats my 4 Dollars and 8 cents on that..

You talking about "stop trying to be like other cities" and in the next sentence you talking about san jose having crips and bloods (which is some LA shit).. how contradicting is that ?

This is exactly what people mean with "do you and stop trying to portray something to be something its not" If niggaz would just do them and stop trying so hard it would be alot easier for people to atleast give it a chance..

San jose is not gangsta, grimey or hood OR WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT COMPARED TO OAKLAND, FRISCO, EPA ETC... lol please ive been all trough that muthafucka be glad it aint!! aint nobody glorifying that bullshit niggaz just saying IT SOUNDS EXTRA CORNY WHEN YOU GOT NIGGAZ TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM THAT SHIT AND THEN YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT DONT LIVE IN THOSE CONDITIONS BUT wanna RAP LIKE THEY DO how corny and stupid is that ? does being from a grimey city make your music better ? no.. its squares and real ones everywhere.. but its still corny to see muthafuckas try so hard to portray something that is not there period.. stop fooling yourself man.. EVERY CITY, TOWN IN AMERICA GOT SOME NIGGAZ THAT WILL GIVE YOU THE Biz that doesnt say anything about that city nobody said every single person from san jose is soft... who cares where you from im just anti corny ass niggaz

thats like saying stop being like New york, cause yall rappin. Rap is some new York shit. gangs, are a California phenom. I am from Los Angeles originally. that dont matter tho, cause gangs are a California thing. If you dont know that by now, you really dont see the whole picture. Aint nothin new under the sun....

I can speak for Reese. No city makes me, I'm a man first and foremost. Really I give a fuck about whatever is said about shit, as long as the CDs keep sellin, I'm good. I will come on here and support my boy tho. Ad Kapone said it a long time ago, and I live by it, KISS NO ASS TO BE ACCEPTED.

**Those that want to Debate I'm alright with that, I will continue to state my position, and make it so plain that even a fool can understand**

Damn i feel like im talking to a crashtestdummie... Nigga dont nobody assiocate bay area with crips and bloods and vice versa.. thats what im saying you cant argue facts.. When i say gangbangin i mean crips and bloods. Tell me one city in the bay area where black crip or blood sets are relevant ? Frisco had a few for a while it died down.. epa had bloods but the shit died down..

And it was never nothing major they never ran shit or even made no noise alot of people dont even know there were ever crips and bloods in the bay. Bay niggaz in general aint never been on that gangbang hype period. You a moron if you disagree with that... This the home of hustlers, pimps, and turf wars.. not crips, bloods lowriders and khakis..

If you on that california shit you out of touch with reality there is no california as far as being one culture/vibe there is the bay area and southern cali and the rest is either a mixture of both or on one of the 2 hypes.

No go ahead and say some stupid shit like im truly in the dark or i just dont know sure buddy whatever you say. Im not argueing with you im just saying it how it is you from the bay you seeing the same shit im seeing i dont see where you get all that shit from..

You are comedy. Out of touch fa real. Even READS like you getting a lil upset. How old are you if I may ask?, and why do you feel that you have to be the one to prove to the whole Siccness that San Jose "aint hood", and that there are no "gang-bangers" in the bay? What is making you so vocal about this topic on the table? I'm looking at your location, I take it you from Oakland. Nice city, I been there, actually lived there for awhile. It has its "gangsta" parts, but then it has its other side to it. 11-500, whats that? a street? a hood? a block? a turf? Are there more people than just you claiming to be from 11-500? Will you and those others take action when someone disrepects 11-500? if so, you need to rethink your answers playboy.

I wasnt trying to prove shit you cant argue anything i said cuz i was simply stating facts. To prove something it has to be questioned nobody is questioning what i said they are facts.

But you are probably right im sure im am the one that is out of touch with reality im probably just the only one not seeing all these crips and bloods out here.

I can tell by your language that you a youngsta, or a cat that think he/she is a youngsta. I dont threaten people on the internet OG, I'm just replying to your words, so you can calm yourself. You seem to be speaking on "facts" alot, where are your facts based from? just from what you see? or are you reading some Bay area dont have no gangs fact book? cause if you going from just your understanding, then I see where you getting this warped view of things. You still didnt answer the questions...
