Man. I loved this interview. I was a homeless white kid in west Oakland & down on 35th & international back in the mid 90’s. Wasn’t smoking crack or getting drunk. Those streets could be rough but i met dudes like Stone that recognized real. I also vividly remember going to the Long Haul book store to read, drink coffee & listen to the old black panthers. Oakland lucky to have that BPP foundation
@@SilverbackMO cheers, bro. Now, i’m a union working stiff but streets are my roots. I treat everything like gang/street shit. You put in work, you obey the rules & be aware of your surroundings
35th and E14 is the East, not the West. But shout to all the white folks I n knew back in the late 80s early 90s. Pretty much anybody in Oakland in those days were with the shizz, because you had to be. Black, Mexican, White, Cambodian, Samoan..whatever else. We're just different out here, especially in those days... salute.
That’s what up Al, that’s the business putting the Bay Area on the Map. I like your work and have always admired how you stick to the script and keep it a hundred. Theirs major Legends from the Bay. Can’t wait to see if you do some more on the Ogs from the 90’s
i hear Detroit and Oakland are very familiar...even with the music... i cant wait to take a visit to the D... I've been in Oakland most of my life so i am sure i would be able to make a fair assessment.
@@razoraikens5567 4 Sure my new friend. Welcome to the 313 anytime. We got the Motown Museum here where all the old school R&B artists recorded and the Detroit Zoo and rap music and a bunch of attractions. Anytime you want a bunch of old school Detroit hip hop let me know. I think California had more rap artists who made it than Detroit did but it's all good. I don't condone poisoning your own people, but everyone knows BMF came from southwest Detroit, but big players came from all parts of the country SO if you are a black or brown person born in America then you or your ancestors came through the struggle which is why we are ALL real whether you're from the west coast or east coast or Midwest which is what we are or down south, we are ALL real ones. I remember when DJ Quik said he did not realize that until he started touring around the country then he realized that damn its real ones everywhere and not just in California. All of our ghetto or in the struggle's stories are the same, only difference is there are no beautiful palm trees here like in CA, and we have winters with snow that is cold as ice and even that can make you crazy. LOL
@@ChampagneJones-z3w Nice name and peace to both Oakland's! I've only been to California ONCE it my life and it was beautiful. Town of El Segundo. Those tall trees y'all got are beautiful and the weather too. We get 4 seasons here and when it's cold and snowy it's COLD.
yeah after never living in 80s 90s, seeing this wave. its krazy to see the rebirth. betrayal and backdooring is the worst. and the hate crimes really as a legend from GA area would have said ---zzler
OAKLAND LEGEND. WISDOM GAME & KNOWLEDGE. MUSIC MOGUL. ARTHUR DIRECTOR……..SURVIVOR!!! The legendary slogan from Sugar Free hit song. If you stay ready you ain’t got to get Ready. Come from HIM.
I remember the day summer of 9 pound. My cousin let me drive his 94 Honda Accord 2 door EX with the 5 speed and bumping that “I got 5 on it”. I still got the cassette. Y’all know, the one with the ill pictures of the jimmy holding the heat. 36 definitions of some Oakland slang
I was in high school and as a class we went to the huey p Newton trial and ironic the guy that killed him used to sit and look at me the entire trial. My classmates would kid with me that he had a crush on me. I was a teenager back then. Crazy watching this interview.
CALIFORNIA: (oak) 58 years old I noticed that when you're raised with animal specific environment with a certain ideology your speech automatically shows the level of schooling you received... Most O.G.s that were raised in Oakland during the 80s usually don't raise their education level to match the current market Not unless you count making gangster rap, human trafficking and selling drugs a proper TED talk topic😒🙄😔
Philthy high key a lame he makes alright music but I realized dude was lightweight a kur In that Mozzy beef 😂an most his artist lame Mozzy ass lame too I feel Cml came out the victor but he lost by ball swallowing philthy

Great interview, no interruptions. Clearly, not Al Profit.
Al talks WAY too much, but I won't diss him too hard since we are both from Detroit area code (313) all day!

From Detroit to Oakland ALL real ones!!!! Oak, Oak, Oakland! Detroit is just SOUTH of Oakland County, so we got an Oakland too!
