but i did go to certain places that iīve heard about in various songs(Crenshaw for example)and i didnīt see what was so special about it to be mentioned over and over again in songs.
Oh yeah and there is one MAIN pico blvd which is the one that goes all the way from Santa Monica all the way inland towards downtown, and thats the one all the rappers talk about, I've never seen any other picos but if there are others their not famous or major
If you don't wanna believe my timing, don't but im sure you will be on the safe side if you take my timing, anything faster than i said and your either lucky as hell or your flying over all the traffic
E-crazy your making me doubt your even from LA your giving some off ass info, 15 mins from LA to Long Beach my ass, with no traffic and going 80mph it takes atleast half an hour from Santa Monica to Long Beach.Oh yeah and there is one MAIN pico blvd which is the one that goes all the way from Santa Monica all the way inland towards downtown, and thats the one all the rappers talk about, I've never seen any other picos but if there are others their not famous or majorIf you don't wanna believe my timing, don't but im sure you will be on the safe side if you take my timing, anything faster than i said and your either lucky as hell or your flying over all the traffic
R-Tistic: thanks for the info...and it would indeed be cool if you showed me around town a bit, I'd appreciate that a lot. But don't you think it will cause problems to drive through those places you mentioned (Compton, Gardena, etc..) since I'm white?Yeah, the Slauson Swapmeet is another place that I hear a lot in West Coast rap songs, so I'd like to check that out as well. What exactly is there to be found in Swapmeets? Clothes, music, etc...?Well, several people from MainStreet are registered at the IV Life forum, and they always tell me I need to come down there 'cause they appreciate what I do (promotion), they even invited me to their 4th of July picnic last week at Lake Parris. So yeah, I think I'll go down there with DJ Slip & Crisstyle and them...The Fox Hills Mall...yeah, another place that I've heard a lot about. I'll definitely check that out along with those other shopping malls that you listed.Once again, thanks for all the info man, I appreciate this a lot. See you (maybe) in LA then in July of 2007!
^shit when i was in LA was scared as hell of wearing blue and red for the first couple of days just from what iīve heard in songs and shit and especially since iīm black. but people didnīt really trip if you were wearing a lot of blue or red. but i didnīt go in any neighborhoods like you know on the block so i donīt know how it really goes down. i actually thought it was gonna be a lot worse in LA then it actually is just from what i had heard about the gangs before i actually went there. still wouldnīt wanna make a wrong turn and end up in The Jungle wearin blue from head to toe.
Crafty, a lot of the places and things that R-tistic mentioned is shit i would suggest only a local or someone familiar with the area do, its not exactly the safest thing to not be familiar with the area and go down in those areas, I theres a good chance you will be fine and nothing will happen, but there also is a good chance something WILL happen, like stopping at the wrong stop sign at the wrong time and getting your car jacked, trust me that shit happens.

Hat signs can be worst than colors, and bandanas are always an instant indicator. yea thatīs the thing that my cousins friends told me about(they told me to ship red Philly hats,Boston hats when we was gonna go to CPT). they also told me not to wear certain color combinations aswell coz some people automatically connect certain color combinations with a specific neighborhood. donīt know how true it is but thatīs what they told me and i followed suit. if i enjoy my 3 1/2 months stay in LA later this year i might make the move over there permanent.
