yea i was gonna say Too $hort as soon as i saw this topic.
'every song i ever made was about this town'
Actually once I sat there and tried to think of ONE song where he doesn't mention Oakland and I couldn't think of it. Im sure there is ofcourse but he's always representing.
Agreed. Short did what he had to do, IMHO...and hey, Georgia's hella cheaper to live in then Northern Cali (in fact, a friend of mine from Washington, D.C.'s thinking about moving to Georgia because of the lower costs alone)...
But another rapper I thought of who reps his town a lot is Playa Jay Tee--he mentions Vallejo quite a bit on a lot of his songs (both with N2Deep and solo)--or at least it seems that way...
