yeah, i've heard that before too... though i can't find anything online that confirms it... but i remember when Nima interviewed Crooked I last year in response to Snoop's interview saying the same thing.
Dubcnn: Wassup Crooked? We just did that little Snoop interview, and he had some words for you. You wanted to let the fans know your side of the story?
I mean first, I'm gonna set the record straight. I'm one of the few cats out here that's really born in Cali anyway! He spoke on me being from Long Beach or what not. If I'm correct, he's not even born in Long Beach or California period. Yeah, I'm from Long Beach.
also, i read that Ray J & Snoop are cousins, but not sure if it's true or not... just google it.
^Isn't Daz from Oklahoma or something like that? And Nate is from Mississippi too?yeah, i've heard that before too... though i can't find anything online that confirms it... but i remember when Nima interviewed Crooked I last year in response to Snoop's interview saying the same thing.

Haaa I knew I heard that somewhere else before! I've actually heard the same thing about Daz before too (either about Daz or from Daz).
Nima, Seer, Rud - let's get to the bottom of this.
It's wierd that if all these artists are from actually different parts of the US that all our favorite artists that rep the West are actually from other parts of the US. LOL
For us, we met somebody who claimed to be from L.A., and all he knew was "Crenshaw"...so after a series of questions, we realized that he was a fraud who had just visited a few times before his mom (supposedly) moved there that same summer.

Man if you saw the "interrogation" you would have been like wooow....when we first met him, he told us he went to Crenshaw High, and that he lived off Crenshaw, so were just like oh fa sho, that's cool. We kicked it with him a few times, and whenever we started talkin about everything in L.A., he would just sit there and laugh and be like "yeah I know about that!" but never have any real input. We asked him where he stayed at, not even doubting him at this point, but just wondering since he never really said...he was like "I stay off....Crenshaw" and we're like "yeah, Crenshaw and what? Crenshaw is a looong street....so where at, Crenshaw and Florence? Crenshaw and Hyde Park?" and he was like "um yeah, Crenshaw and Hyde Park" and we're like ohh.....ok.
We were talkin about high schools and who ran what, and we asked him if the Neighborhoods ran Crenshaw, and he was like "which neighborhoods?" and anybody in that area knows that "Neighborhood" refers to Neighborhood Crip...so it's like hold up, where are you really from? I set him up and was like "damm, are Crenshaw's jerseys still the same with the Green and Black?" and he was like "yeah, it's still the same"....and we're like wooow, you could have at least watched Moesha and known that the colors are blue and gold!! We played along with it, and I asked him if he lived right by Stevie's on the strip, and he was like "yeah, that's right by me too" and we're like umm....that's Jefferson, that's about 10-15 minutes away!! My other boy was like "hold up.....what's your zip code?" and he just froze up and said "well......................................I don't know, my mom just moved there this summer, and I used to always visit there growin up." I saw that he had that look like he had just been put on major blast, and I didn't even go hard on him.
LOL....
So birth PLACE is really that important? At least half of the people I know were born somewhere else than they were RAISED. I even know people who were technically born in a different country, but they grew up their entire life here...so what does that make them?

Okay calm down thread ruiner, I'm just shocked about this thats all, its not like I'm writing dude off my West Coast list. Its just weird cuz Snoop kept this shiet hella hidden. Eminem, Xzibit, 2Pac, Kurupt, and all other other artist that were born somewhere else but claim the city that they were raised it all still acknowledge being from somewhere else originally. But Snoop, I seen his Behind the Music, read hella profiles, and all kinda shiet and it always says born and raised in Long Beach.

I'll also say that it don't matter to me where they were born.. I"m not going to write them off my westcoast list either.. just I didn't know that all those artists were born elsewhere. Always figured they were from Cali since they rep it so hard.me 2
