central valley CA is the worst. we are close enough to the bay that kids think they know what's up on the block as far as the hyphy movement is concerned (about 3 years behind though,) but we have few enough black people that they can get away with acting hyph.
and good call on the heiro, zion i, and blackalicious. some of my favorite.s
oh yeah... kids are way hard out in the dirty mill... they roll deeeeep with the chronic in their parents mercs...
I hella say hella....
but mac dre? nah... never a convo piece.
btown? what the fuck is btown...
and no... its not all about boppas, gouda and getting jawmaicaaa like you say.
berkeley duh. and to them yeah it is...they don't do "hyphy" they're on to something different.
You're talking to somebody who's actually lived in Berkeley, California. Nobody ever ever calls it 'btown' ever. Its Berkeley, or Bezerkeley, or something like that... but never ever have i ever called it nor heard it called Btown by anyone from the bay area...
"i'm a b-town boy, heard n**gas wanna play so im grippin on my toy"
-wolf pack
i dont know where your friends are from... but its definitely not the bay.. and they should be slapped.
Oakland is the town.. hence oaktown..
Berkeley, is just Berkeley and really thats all there is to it. (People only really call it bezerkeley in the same context as they could call Oakland "oaksterdam")
There cannot be two 'town's next to each other... that would be like calling SF the 'city', and turning around and also calling Daly City (just south of SF) like.. 'D-City' or something. It just doesnt work.
