I been to the Bay a few times for different reasons.

Each time, I always come back home thinking the Bay Area produces some of the realist, most genuine people in the country.

My first time in the Bay was back in my Navy days.

We stopped in Oakland doing work ups back in the late 90s.

Me and my guys hit this little club in Jack London Square, can't remember the name.

Soon as we walk in, the entire club is going ape to this shyt here...



nikkas is diving over each other, bytches throwing elbows, it was nuts.

The DJ literally played that bytch like 100 times in a row.

The song had just come out and I had never heard it in my life, so for about 2 months, I thought JT Money was a Oakland nikka.

About an hour later, me and a couple guys go to the restroom.

Soon as we walk in, it's 12 nikkas with a mouth full of golds and dreads in a semi circle passing el's around, bathroom smelling like the freshest pine. :banderas:

Immediately, them nikkas is on some, "where y'all nikkas from?", "smoke one with the Town" and starts passing el's around.

Rest of the night, them nikkas is introducing us to all the cuties in the club, buying drinks, the whole nine.

When the club closed and we are all walking out, a nikka is on guard thinking they might be trying to line us up, but all them nikkas said was "do us a solid, go back where y'all from, and tell your patnas Oakland nikkas is real.", then they dapped us up, and walked away..

:myman:

:umad:

Bay Area has the most chill and genuine people you will ever meet. Everyone who comes up here from other places mentions that. I will say that gentrification is heavily affecting the flow and culture of the bay. I’m seeing a lot more fake ass people than I used to. Especially cacs and asians who be mimicking black culture.

shyt like this is making everyone leave, and soon enough, I will as well. I guess I’ll enjoy it while I can
this been going around since the early to mid 99s

especially the Asians. You won't find anywhere on earth, Asians with identify crisis than over here.

San Francisco too expensive, overpriced. If you were in SF, first thing you'd ask is where are all the black people? But if you saw where black people stay in SF, chances are you would want to get out ASAP especially if you found yourself somewhere like Sunnydale. :whoa: SF is a shytty city for black people to live. The only places you will see black people in SF are the projects. There isn't a strong professional upwardly mobile black middle class in SF like there is in DC, NYC and ATL. Weather in SF is like October or November back East all year round even in the summer. :ahh:Ironically, the ghetto areas in the Bay are often the least racist and least segregated. Especially in the East Bay. Some of this is partially due to gentrification of hoods that used to be blacker. One block you could be in the projects around nothing but nikkas in the Fillmoe but the next block is Japantown. Bay Area folks are hella laid back and cool for the most part and generally aren't haters when it comes to outsiders like other cities and regions. A big part of the culture in the Bay is being yourself and others will support you doing your own thing no matter what that might be. You see shyt in the Bay you won't see anywhere else like blacks and Asians or blacks and Mexicans living side by side in the hood and getting along for the most part and treating each other like family or somewhat tolerating each other's presence at the least. You have Asians who know everything about black ghetto culture from living in the hood and blacks who know everything about Asian and Mexican culture from being surrounded by it there whole lives. :sas2:It's ironic that the city that birthed the Black Panthers can often be one of the most racially inclusive places in the world. I live on the East Coast now and race relations here are light years behind the Bay Area inner city.
