^^re: G-roc - I believe he produced "Wut that 7 Like" and "187" on 007 GoonSquad's 2 song release back in 96... All my folks in the EastBay thought the shit was bangin... too bad the whole album never dropped... 187 KillaLocc played some of the songs for my folkz and I back in the day... and damnnnn.. I still remember how 2 of them go... They wuz goin' majorly hard, reppin Northern Cali but sayin' "I'm not from the bay..." Olskool San Jo cat'sll feel me that back in the day, the southbay was more similar to Sac and Stockton than any other city in the bay (Cz n Bz)... but ah, wut the wonders of gentrification, gang injuctions, and racist police will do to a city... times have changed in a big way... Back in the day it was french braids, curls, fingerwaves... now it's dreads... and carebear backpacks?... (I seen a teenage brotha sportin' this at eastridge not too long ago)... I'm gettin' old
But yeah a gang of folks from the town (Oak) knew of 7 Trees... many of them was funkin' but the respect level wuz there... somethin' that most youngsterz on here'll never know about... honor
Unfortunately, most of these soldiers'll never have the oppurtunity to get on this board ... but brotha Gangsta Reece held it down just fine in this thread.. repsect should be given to original SJ cats like him and Young 211 (I still like that name but I know how times change, bro!) aka Tha Critic.. cuz there ain't many left...
