not true, pooh man had a real rep out in the oakland streets way before the rap game. literally dudes like pooh man and seagream had notorious names out here way before they started rapping. pooh man was in shoot outs all through the ville and all over the east, he really ran with lil d and black and then big bruce. he got in the rap game and started fucking with fake niggas and fake bitches and got to fucking with that shit and went down hill. but as far as real live gangsta shit in the streets and not talking about a nigga who get a rap reputation and then start doing wild shit to maintain it, pooh man, gangsta p, tuff, seagram, really did that shit. but the price got paid though, bruce is dead, seagram is dead, gangsta is dead, tuff in and out the pen, lil d and black doing football numbers and pooh man will be a senior citizen before he touch these streets again
