it'd be hard to break down like that...
untill 95...fillmoe was fillmoe
and the downtown/uptown shit didn't come into play until way later
uptown and downtown is more about affiliations then location these days
def west, the vall, page is snyonmous...but now page st is uptown
Banneker on the other side of the fillmore st diving line from uptown, but 800 is Uptown
shit, Turkwood used to be thick with dudes who claimed OCP...that was the fillmore party spot
you couldn't hit the moe without seeing dudes with YBG tatted on their hand, and now it's about Mac Block
hella different fillmoe hoods would post on the Flav and that shit is a ghosttown now
you don't even heard nobody say The Millers, The LB'z, or Prince Hall anymore
though they all still there, and ain't fell off
the names and affiliations change so damn fast now...it's hard to even keep up with
blocks that used to be tagalongs are now claimin their own hoods like it's a new baseball team in town...
it used to be cool to be from fillmoe, it was love everywhere, even after the beefin started in the mid to late 90's...that shit seemed confined
i was always more worried about a neighborhood jack artist, or somebody from outside the area
now it's feels like hunters point...
anybody that used to ask me where i'm from, i was quick to say "Hayes Valley"
now it's "i used to live in hayes valley"
and not on no fear shit, cus i couldn't never be that dude..
it's more like, it ain't fillmoe how i came up...everyone i came up with is gone...and i have no pride in the moe turning into what it has
i'll always have the moe in my heart...but...shit i'm just keepin it real
just had to vent
