there's a lot of great things about oakland and it's people, and a somewhat growing art community, but for the most part, it's schools are fucked up underfunded, crack is still everywhere, kids are going nowhere but dropping out of high school and you got this dumb ass "hyphy" shit that's telling kids to "go dumb" and further encouraging them to ride with their doors open or ghost ride. but ya big up the movement, just so we can get the bay some "shine." ya right. Heaven forbid you encourage a positive message in the music.
