Florida wuz doin that shyt way before Oakland , y'all had that Carribean influenceI just spent 6 months out here in Santa Cruz, went up to Oakland a handful of times. I seen a couple ppl with dreads but I'm from Florida and the amount of dreadheads was way more back home
florida and jersey nikkas been rocking dreads for years, there really can be no argument for who started dreads.Oakland ain't have dreads till tha late 90s early 2000s courtesy of tha south
precisely.The South and Cali are distant cousins and always have been...The weather, fashion, Black church and car culture have always gave them a bond..Plus the majority of Black Californian's relocated from places like Georgia, Miss, Alabama and Arkansas....
Why you trying to cause issues with family?

First they steal turn up(a cali slang thats been around for like 30 years)
They make a bootleg version of gang tapes(snow on the bluff)
now they even tryna talk like cali nikkas
super producer 808 mafia leader sizzle
for a city that "runs" rap they sure do bite cali alot
are u retarded?Snow n da bluff wasnt about no gang shyt
lmao so nikkas in cali dont wear jordans?nikkaz n the A, j's, nikkaz in cali, chucks. nikkaz in the A, robin jeans, trues. nikkaz in cali, khaki suits. We never bite. Been had our own slang, own dress code, the way we ride. Too short fell un love wit the A. Florida nikkaz was rocking dreads in the A in 87 and shyt. nikka we dont lowride. We ride high. FOHWTBS.
