Jesse's Gone [Plan Bee (RIP) Documentary] 1996

- Directed by Michael Smith, featuring Mike Dream, Saafir, and Hobo Junction.
In 1992, 22-year-old rising rap artist Jesse Rahim Hall was shot and killed in front of his home in East Oakland, California. The assailant, also a young Black male, was never identified, and no one has been charged with the crime. Jesse’s story sadly echoes that of many young Black men in America for whom the threat of violence is commonplace. In this uncompromising local documentary, a series of interviews with family and friends gives shape to a complex individual-a rapper, young father, friend and son whose death leaves another hole in this already battered community.

POV SEASON 10
FEATURE FILM | 06/24/1997
America is a dangerous place for young black men. With excruciating tenderness, filmmaker Michael Smith breathes life into the headlines and homicide statistics to capture stirring echoes of memory and loss. This hauntingly rhythmic piece presents an incisive view of the frayed lives left behind after the death of Jesse Hall, a young hip-hop artist from Oakland whose voice could not be silenced by the snap of a clip and a pull on the trigger.

I been in Oakland all my life. That mural in the 100’s on E14th has always been a mystery to me. I’m glad I found this documentary. That mural is still up there.
I remember in the 90s seeing when it was being done . I think it was DreamTdk(rip) that painted it. It barely got hit up over the years. i remember seeing it being touched up here and there.
Scandalous thing is that she lost both her sons the same way.
One of my last memories of him is when he stopped by my crib and he invited me to a studio session by Knowland. I ended up not goin...
That session was Quest For Survival.
It was me up now that I didn't go.
R.I.P Jesse, Coby, Hev, Mike!
this is a bay area time capsule. captured the whole vibe with the players in the street art and music scene. the pre hyphy underground bay scene was potent. peace and all the flowers to these straight kingz. PLAN B/ SAAFIR/MIKE DREAM

Anyone know the Hobo Junction song at the end credits?
It’s big nous and I think it’s named speak the truth but I’m not 100% sure. It’s been impossible to find. I too have been waiting to find this for over 20 years. I recorded the documentary on kqed to vhs back in the day but it’s been misplaced/lost. This upload is huge. Such a great doc.
It's is Big Nose the track is "Running from 5-0" good luck finding it tho
@@problactive285 it's Big Nous rhyming, but that track isn't "Running From 5-0." You can hear Running from 5-0 here on RUclips, just search "Plan Bee feat Saafir - Runnin From 5 0"
R.I.P Plan B 😇
What's the song @ 20:56?
For real. Sounds like hobo junction shit no doubt but which one? Obscure as fuck.
@@ersc5669
The one rapping that saafir was jammin to with chopa black.
No doubt bro I was asking with u as well. That’s what I meant when I said which one, my bad if I didn’t word that properly. But I’m with you, I would like to know too it sounds hella good. Still a mystery..
@@ersc5669 I'm looking everywhere bro lmbo 🤣
Nice. One day we’ll eventually know
I use to tag with Plan B and Dream back in the day, rest in power to both of them. ✌️

🙏💛 ❤
I really hope a Hobo Junction unreleased album come out.
rip plan bee
Plan Bee was a legend #godlife
I wonder if the rapper Saafir had something to do with Plan Bee's death. Saafir's career seemed to have blown up shortly after the murder of Jesse (Touring with Digital Underground, being featured heavily on their LP-The Body Hat Syndrome, living with 2Pac, acting in Menace II Society, being signed to a major label). 22:02 is a chilling remark, considering Saafir later was signed to Quincy Jones QWest records, releasing Boxcar Sessions. could be a coincidence, but I feel that blood is required in the entertainment industry. This is of course, my opinion. This is an excellent documentary.
Probably a sacrifice. 🕵🏾♂️🤔
Hella cryptic but Saafir was his ace boy.
@@Watani_Fahim True, but who knows what goes on in people's minds. Dig this: I remember reading a small Source article on Saafir ("Microphone Check in Dec '94 issue). He was talking about his album. He said that his song, "Worship the Dick" was inspired by him in a room watching two women- fucking each on an altar while practicing witchcraft. As a SoCal hood youth, that blew my mind. Sounded like some hippie shit. I know he was from the Bay, but damn!
@@tmat2024 word up! I used to perform with hiero, living legends, the junction and was signed in the bay. Saafir and I bumped shoulders a few times. Dude was really off the meat rack. You’re right who knows but it’s fucked up id he did.
@@Watani_Fahim Nice! Bet there was lots of great memories for you back then. We grew up in a dope era for hip-hop. Another side note: Did you read the article when Shock G visited Saafir? He wrote how he was in a wheelchair, living in a filthy apartment, eating 7-11 burritos, chain smoking Newports, etc.Wow! Doesn't sound like a friend to me. Sounds like humiliation!
