Actually, everbody knows about Oakland as a city, so if I was in Texas or ATL i'd rather say I was from Oakland. In that sense I do rep Oakland and not the Bay. I ain't even been everywhere in the Bay like that. But I'v been all through the town a million times. Plus, sorry to say, but Oakland has a better reputation than the Bay as a whole. Niggas don't associate homosexuals with Oakland, they think of shit like pimps, drug lords, BGF, Hells Angels, and the Black Panthers. I'll take up for the Bay, but I don't go out my way to rep it. E-40 is trying to present hyphy as a Bay thing, when it's really a Town thing, and he watered it down too much and associated it with Crunk. That's why that's out of pocket. Some out of town niggas (The Feds, E-40) got nerve to put a sound to our culture and make it sound hella soft when it was always mob. It was a self-destructive mob culture, now it's party music that white suburbia can enjoy. I'd rather stay detached as of now and represent for my real Town cats instead of this so-called "Bay shit" that the rappers try and flip. I love this city, niggas is trend setters, so I have to rep my city instead of following the trend of repping the Bay. I been reppin Oakland for ages, why stop now? Much love to the East Bay though which I can rep with more confidence, Berkeley, Richmond, Hayward, all that shit. Cities that i know my way around.

oakland is pretty much the brooklyn of ny to the bay. the grimiest/livest city out here. just like how most brooklyn mcs rather rep bk instead of the whole nyc cause bk got a whole nother vibe to the city. oakland as a city is different from every other city in the bay, theres like an oakland culture. same with san fran. usually people who rep "the entire bay" are some redwood city, san mateo, daly city ass cats. fuck your city.

^^^ well put stick-n-move

everyone knows that Vallejo is the best and im glad ur not afraid to admit that

there is nothing thats really crackin about vallejo. answer the question what pops off in vallejo?.....................nothing, its just a boring ass city where e-40 and mac dres from. cities like vallejo and fairfield really havent earned there respect to me. until those niggaz invent something that they didn't see niggaz in the town doing, or niggaz in richmond doing, or niggaz in the sco doing then they'll earn respect. cause really those niggaz dont have they own identity. them niggaz is just copycattin shit from the town to the sco and saying "yeah its bay shit." Cause in reality them niggaz have to drive a long distance to come party with us. tho sco is right across the bridge and the rich is right here. So the morale of the story is VALLEJO niggaz and FAIRFIELD niggaz, PLEASE BRING YOUR IDENITIES TO THE TABLE, IF U WANNA GET HYPHY WITH US INVENT SOME NEW SHIT AND THEN WE MIGHT RESPECT IT CAUSE YALL NIGGAZ IS COPYCATTER ASS NIGGAZ!!

it's a way for cats from non respectable areas to slide in and try and be front and center. by saying they rep the bay they can get a pass. if you from milpitas or west san lorenzo, you know you automatically got to prove yourself, so you hide behind 'bay this' and 'bay that'
