And 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:01.600 when he reached out, you know, it's awsolute to real 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:02.440 he did it. 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:04.800 I just think it's dope too, because like you always 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:08.120 will hear that like the Bay doesn't get enough credit, 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:11.200 And that's true in terms of influence, in terms of culture, 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:13.760 in terms of just everything that they brought to the game. 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.360 And me and Gazi always had these conversations about like 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:21.400 how back in the day there was so much music 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:25.360 industry in San Francisco, in the Bay Area. You had 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:27.360 Jive Records was there, and you had a lot of 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:30.440 a lot of people would have offices around the city, 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.320 and I guess, like what's kind of missing is like 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:38.000 representation of media on a bigger scale. So I think 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:40.520 it's dope to like you saw that, Like, hey, I'm 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:41.760 gonna just do the shit myself, you. 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:46.800 Know, definitely, And like I said, with my shit, I 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:49.800 just feel like my shit is is authentic, bro, Like 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:50.720 my shit is pure. 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:54.680 Like I don't get people on my ship and trying 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:55.800 to stir shit up. 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:58.240 I'm not looking for no viral moment, right, Like I 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:00.800 always tell people all the time, My our moment is 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:03.400 when we sitting there building and we having a conversation 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:06.800 and you may say some shit that somebody is going through. 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.360 You get what I'm saying, and that might spark a 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:12.240 flame and then to change their life. Or they probably 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:15.280 was thinking about suicide and they didn't commit suicide because 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:18.040 they looking at Okay, damn, if little blood going through 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:19.800 this shit, you feel me, and this is how he 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.360 handle it.

And it's all 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:48.400 the way love for people who don't know. 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:52.280 Obviously, we like to lump in northern California together. A 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:55.839 lot people will even like who don't know better, say, 0:09:55.880 --> 0:10:00.760 think Mazi's from the bank. No, everyone just loves the whole. 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:02.040 But shout out Mazi. 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:03.959 A lot of bag niggas won't say this because they 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:07.760 corn balls, But what Mazzi did shed a lot of 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:09.280 light on the Bay too, for sure. 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:11.720 Yeah, so Salu Mazzi. That's yeah, for sure. 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:14.600 I was gonna say though being from Oakland, obviously Oakland 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:16.560 is kind of like the flavor of the area. 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:19.440 In my opinion, Oakland is the mecca of California. 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:22.640 If you ask me so kind of break down, like 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:26.520 coming from Oakland, what is the difference between in your opinion? Like, 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:30.520 because I feel like Oakland and Vallejo low Ki have 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:34.720 kind of historically popped more than artists from San Francisco. Obviously, 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:37.440 Burner's Dope, the twenty four care of Golden Kid just 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:42.400 went platinum. But like breakdown, like why you say it's 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:44.840 the epicenter of culture and why Oakland is just different 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:45.560 from everywhere else. 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:55.840 You have to realize. So let's go back historically, Black Panthers, right, 0:10:57.120 --> 0:11:01.440 that movement sparked a world wide change. You get what 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:07.480 I'm saying from what the Panthers did. Let's say the Crips, 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:12.000 for example, they literature helped, you know, start that, not 0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:15.040 saying that the Black Panthers started that, but that literature 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:19.240 with the Black Panthers was pushing the Crips organization started 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:22.920 off that. You get what I'm saying. Black Panthers, they 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:25.280 reach and what they stood, what they stood for was 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:30.520 so dope. They had chapters in Chicago and New York 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:35.280 and they did so much. And then it's like the game, 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:40.240 Like I say, the Pippin and Hoen the Mac was 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:42.480 filmed in Oakland, Like you get what I'm saying. They 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:44.960 had to come to where that shit was real. Like 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:47.800 you get what I'm saying. They filmed the whole Mac 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:50.760 in Oakland. Let's start from the Crack the Dope era, 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:53.240 like one of the first places in the world that 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:56.959 sawd crack cocaine. What's Oakland? You get what I'm saying, 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:03.280 Oakland just on some positive shit. Look at the athletes 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:07.199 that came out of Oakland. The I think it's Bill Russell. 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:11.480 Just a lot of flavor just comes from that little city. 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:14.000 You get what I'm saying. And I think it's because 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:16.360 it look Kill me if I'm wrong. 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:20.839 Right, So, when was it eldridgch Clever? 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:24.560 I think it was Eldris Clever when Eldris Cleaver was 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:29.240 running for mayor of Oakland. It was Bobby Steals, I think, 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:31.280 one of them to Eldrich or Bobby Seals, one of 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:32.920 them when they was running for mayors. 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:34.560 When he was running for mayor of Oakland. 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:39.440 Right, all these brothers, these smart, sharp individuals from all 0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:42.959 these chapters of the Black Panthers, from Chicago, New York, 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:47.560 the South, all these brothers descended on Oakland to help 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:51.160 push him into that. Right, It's like the seventies, sixties, seventies, 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:53.880 they all came to Oakland and helped push and get 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:56.120 people to vote, go door to door. So but when 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:58.760 all these brothers coming, they send in their best brothers. 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:02.400 They sending them the top scholars, the top gang spinners, 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:05.480 the top whatever it is in your field. They sending 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:07.560 all these top brollers on Oakland. And guess what these 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:09.960 niggas was doing when they coming. They fucking our bitches. 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:12.920 They having babies by these holes. You feel me crazy? 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:13.520 Yeah? 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:16.240 And what that was doing is like I said, these 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:19.199 all top game spinners, top people from the genre. They 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:22.080 fucking these bitches. They are doing all type of shit 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:26.480 and boom from their babies. They was having our parents 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:28.959 and shit like that, and just all this good gang 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:31.800 was just in this gumbo pot, just soaking up and 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:34.680 shit like that. So Oakland is so different and so 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:41.040 like immaculent in so many different areas, like how we talk, 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:45.360 we shake California, the way we dress. Like I remember 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:47.800 when nigga, when you see a nigga with dreads and 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:49.199 gold teeth, are they from Oakland? 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:50.880 You get what I'm saying now. 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:53.480 Everybody, you see a nigga with dreads, Yeah, we talking 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:55.160 about on this side, you feel me? 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:56.040 Yeah? 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:59.079 You see a motherfucker with you know certain shit, how 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:01.600 motherfuckers are sold My partner, man, you know what I'm saying. 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:04.400 The lingo Like, Okay, that nigga from Oakland, he slicked 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:07.480 to the motherfucker.

It used to be hell a political. It's 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:52.160 still political as fuck, but Oakland is starting to embrace 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:55.360 Oakta embrace Oakland. You get what I'm saying, Like they're 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:59.120 starting to support each other.
