as a square ass nikka... Who just moved to San Fran and frequent Oaktown once in awhile for some chicken and waffles and to see my girl, I have to admit... Oakland is one of those places where I stick to the GPS route :laugh:

Definitely don't want to take a wrong turn:whew:

Only other places that gave me that uneasy feeling was Chicago's deep southside, and believe it or not North Memphis :laugh:

so, TQ is now a reliable source..? you mean disgruntled TQ, who later retracted a lot of what he said.. :beli:

As opposed to "oil money" Birdman? :heh: TQ had nothing to gain and everything to lose, and that was a small part of his memoirs in the game.

Not at all. I said unless you actually pay THEM. Meaning the people you come across on the street individually. There is no gang out here to pay for protection. You have to pay the nikkas that are going to push up on you on the streets and after you pay them there's some other nikkas a few blocks away that want theirs and after that theirs more a few more blocks and so forth. In L.A you can pay 1 set and be cool. Ain't none of that happening out here which is why you don't see nikkas hanging out in Oakland like they do L.A., any out of towner can come to L.A to do a video and can leave unscathed. nikkas ain't coming to Oakland shooting videos and Drake didn't shoot YOLO in the town before anybody says he did.
Oakland is small as fukk compared to LA breh. And The O is damn near all hood except for a few areas. When cats come to LA they're in Hollywood and other safer areas. They're not deep in the hood. And all that "paying one set off and you're cool" is fantasy. :mindblown:I got love for the bay but come on man. You sound like a out of touch reporter just writing shyt off hearsay and watching a couple of hood documentary's

It ain't just Oakland. Keyshawn Johnson was robbed in Berkeley

Berkeley, CA (Sports Network) - Tampa Bay wide receiver was unharmed after being mugged at gunpoint on Wednesday. According to police, Johnson was approached by two men while talking on a cell phone after he stepped out of a local barber shop. The two men fled after Johnson handed over money and jewelry. No arrests have been made.

2 Chainz was robbed in a nice part of San Francisco. So don't give me that nice part of town shyt. The Bay and L.A is different, nikkas mad because I'm saying you can't pay a gang for protection like Birdman and YMCMB do in L.A. Them nikkas can come to y'all hoods and shoot videos and be coo. That can't happen out here and I'm not saying it's a good or bad thing. L.A has gotten so better that the city of Oakland hired L.A's former chief of police as a consultant so Oakland can be as safe as L.A is.

The Oakland City Council approved the hiring early Wednesday of a police consultant whose aggressive tactics as chief in New York and Los Angeles made him attractive to some crime-weary residents but anathema to others who fear he lacks sufficient concern for civil rights.

Only Councilwoman Desley Brooks voted against the $250,000 contract
with a consulting company that includes Bratton's hiring.

I know what you're getting at and yeah you definitely can get that work in Oakland but we're talking about a population(city limit wise) of 400,000 compared to 4,000,000. A celeb stepping out into the Oakland is definitely gonna be more visible in Oakland as compared to LA, where's there's tons of low key areas and 'hiding spots'. So on that scale yes you're definitely taking a gamble by being out and about in Oakland as compared to LA

LA is definitely safer and more civilized than Oakland. Blacks in LA have evolved into more responsible, educated citizens, our (AA) medium income is much higher. I feel kinda bad for Oakland, they're still uneducated savage animals stuck in the 90s. I mean, damn it's been 20 years and yall getting WORSE? I hope one day the children of Oakland get an education, crawl out the slums, crack detox and can live a calm safe professional life like their southern brothas. :manny:

medium income means nothing

theres places in LA with lower medium income than Oakland (watts, east side low bottoms south central, etc)

some of tha most notorious sets in LA come from higher income areas (Rolling 60s and Eight Tray Gangstas specifically)

these nikkaz still rob and kill, sometimes even more than their "grimier" and lower income east side counter parts...

I just read this happened on the 800 block of Mission in Soma?

HOLY shyt, that is the most pedestrian, non-thugged out area to get jacked.

That's where the Westfield mall is, the old Metreon, and Moscone where Apple is holding it's WWDC conference right now.

It's literally tourists, kids, and right now ... nerds out there.

hilarious.

edit: now I just read it was outside a medical marijuana dispensary? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

tity-boi needs to swap out his crew/bodyguards if they can't handle suburban work.
