3001619, "Pressing my luck slanging right by the Hill Castle" (c) Yukmouth Posted by mrhood75, Thu Feb-15-18 02:37 PM
The Hill Castle Apartments were in the Lakeside neighborhood of Oakland. Even in pre-gentrified Oakland of the mid-'90s, it was NOT a place to be selling crack. You would get busted.

3001620, "You're about as fly as Piedmont. Why you claming Oakland... Posted by mrhood75, Thu Feb-15-18 02:42 PM
"...when you're stroking them from Fremont?" (c) Dres dissing MC Hammer.
Piedmont was a really rich neighborhood inside the Oakland city limits that basically split off and became its own city so it wouldn't have to deal with the "riff-raff." Definitely not "fly" by any stretch of the imagination.
Fremont was a suburb about 20 miles south of Oakland where Hammer bought his infamous mansion. Another way Dres was saying that Hammer wasn't real.
