Title: ANYONE HERE EVER BEEN TO OAKLAND?
Post by: FILA::AUS on August 04, 2002, 01:42:03 PM
Yo since all my favourite rappers come from Oakland i've been real interetsed in that city. Has anyone ever been up there before, espcially the East Oakland where Too $hort is from?

What's the city like?

Ya.  I've been there.  I stayed a night there.  It's funny, I didn't see Too Short, Richee Rich, or 2pac while I was there.  I was looking forward to hanging with them and busting some freestyles.  But I did get alot of dirty looks while I was there.  It's a nice looking place though.  It's got a cool look to it.

i stay 45 mins. away from oakland it's not that bad baby. just don't go down the wrong street it's like any other city. if you don't now your way around that city trust me do good for a visit unless you have someone that knows there way around.it's not like you hear gun shots every night it's every other night. unless your in oakland hills there they have 2 million dollar homes. well that little bit bout the O if you have any other questions ask.
                                                                peace

I used to go to Oak town a lot in the late 80's and early 90's.  Ain't nothing pretty thats for damn sure.  Whoever thinks Oakland is a nice place is tripping like a mutha fucka.  I ain't hating on Oakland at all, I really like the place, in fact when I was a kid I wanted to live there, but that place is ghetto.  Anyone thinking Oakland is a nice looking place must have never seen a redwood tree.  Much props to oaktown for supporting the A's.
