Meeting 2PAC at age 16 in Montgomery Alabama when he was a roadie and backup dancer for Digital Underground was one of the most memorable experiences I've had. He invited me and my friends to come play spades after the show, but we didn't go. I regret it to this day...
You never went because he was a roadie, bet if he was the Tupac we all know and love your ass would have went.
OAKLAND!! Thanks for reppin our hood! Means a lot to us!
Oakland is a different vibe! The few times I've been I enjoyed it. If you all do a part 3 when things open back up. Definitely Souley Vegan, Kingston 11, Xolo, Bar Shiru (the most chill place), the Ferry Ride from Jack London to the San Fran Ferry Building, Pandora's HQ right across from Agave Uptown, AfroTech + Blavity, Plank, Oaklandish, Elbo Room, just to name a few.
I am so happy to have come across such a great video highlighting all the great things about Oakland. I was born and raised and am still currently living in Oakland. My city has always been painted in such a negative light by the media. It is so wonderful to see you showcase this beautiful city with its diversity, culture, food talent and more! You didn’t a superb job at the filming and production of this piece! You have a fan for life!
OAKLAND IS A VIBE
That’s my hometown. Grew up a block away from lake Merritt
A lot of people don’t understand Oakland but we truly the heart of the bay and anyone who move her visit here and actually experience the city knows that rich in history food culture and community 💯

@@jamesgusto3183 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Its like Oakland has never been LESS inspiring- town gets worse every day, total sham video
@@kingbernie4303 Hater's only want to believe and hear about negative stuff about oakland. I knew there would be people who would be passed at this video.

Oakland one of the most unique cities in the world.

Omg, I went online just to find some ideas for my upcoming trip to the Bay and ran across your feature on Oakland. I've spent alot of time in Cali, but I find myself most attracted to Oakland for the same reasons you cited. Thank you so much for sharing your such a phenomenal guide. As my trip draws closer the excitement swells, but even more so now after watching your feature!!
Miss these videos. Glad to see your coming back. Can't wait for more content.
Now I gotta go to Oakland
Yeeee!!!!!!! Love your Chanel!
Oakland is like no other!
I love everything about this episode, can’t wait to see when you do Napa
WELCOME TO MY TOWN!!!! BRED BORN STILL HERE!!!!
Yes!! I loved living in Oakland, and really miss it. Thank you Jubril for the memories. Peace and Blessing to you on your journey.
Ur not missing out...as soon as my entire family and friends can....we are leaving this trashy hell hole
Didnt get a chance to meet Pac, a friend in black press interviewed him, thought I would one day but RIP & it didn't happen.We live in walking distance of Lake Merritt, hella fun on the weekends. Yeees the museum is nice. Thanks 4da treasure island wine info, great content!!!😀
Glad to see you back uploading! Missed these high quality vids!
We coming back every two weeks.
Oh my goodness!! What an amazing episode.The young lady from Black Girls Code is so confident and talented. Love seeing our youth impact change in a positive way!💕👏🏾👏🏾
Baayyy Areaaaa!
You definitely hit up some of the best spots & met some of the best community leaders when you where here.
I miss the town so much ...and watching you I almost cried but I'm Goin soon
Great video! Thank you for showing the beauty of oakland!
Great EDUCATIONAL video. MAJOR PROPS to PASSPORT HEAVY for showing the real deal.
Right On For Showing Love To My City.
Nice to see my friend getting a shout out. Her food is so good. I love me some Nigerian food.
Dude. YOU GET OAKLAND. I transplanted from NYC to SF, but Oakland is where I work, where I'm looking to move, where I go for restaurants--AMAZING: from michelin-starred to mad creative food trucks, diverse, technique-driven, community-focused restaurants featuring everything from French to Southern Soul, Ethiopian to Cambodia, and so many mad, inspired fusions (French/Soul Food; Italian-Spanish, Latin-American-Caribbean , Asian-American classic, Vegan Soul food, add a million etcetera) music, art, culture, tech: Oakland is what San Francisco used to be--a wildly creative, activist, bohemian, artistic, and truly diverse city. And, all due respect for Atlanta, but seriously: Oakland in my humble view is THE bohemian, intellectual, artistic, and cosmopolitan centre of African-diaspora communities (plural): fearless, entwined, both centered and mixing freely , intimately, romantically, artistically, with all of Oakland's communities, It seems like EVERYBODY is involved in the arts. And it is a beautiful city of lakes, art deco buildings, urban grit, gracious hillside nables, victorian homes, mansions, bungalows, new, old, evolving Oakland. Amazing city.
@@micohabit : HELL TEW THA' YAH. Do I disagree? NON. PAS DU TOUT. Not at all. as I note in my original post, I work in and hang about in Oakland. But I live in San Francisco, true. WHY? Because I cannot yet afford to move to Lake Merritt and Adams Point, where I'd like to live.
Dig that: parts of Oakland are more expensive now than some peer nabes in SF (and we're not even talking about Oakland's Crocker Highlands, Montclair, Claremont Pines, Claremont, Upper Oakmore, et al. which have homes in the multi-million range) But I'm working on it....
Could you recommend some activities to do in April
Awww Love this video !! Really great episode.
This was awesome! Totally inspiring too from community and entrepreneurial enlightenment! 💯 Is this during covid-19 or before? Can’t wait to visit.
From S.F. but lived in Oakland for almost 10 yrs... Oakland feels more like home to me than S.F.
That’s what up for real. *Jubril
I ain’t going to London and telling people not to drink tea!! Fab said it so well so people can understand...
Respect the culture 🤍
The mole at Agave Uptown!!! It was so good.
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!
Just moved to Oakland!! I needed this!! 🤘🏾
Just cuz someone says Oakland is this that and the other...does take the trash and worthless major away
Thanks for the video. 🙏💯
Can’t wait 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ok
Straight fire 🔥 video 👍🏾
Yaaaassss glad you enjoyed and appreciate the town as much as we do here! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
One word: DOPE 🔥. Glad to see the Passport Heavy crew back at it again. 👍🏾
Tupac is from the Marin City Projects located right across from $5 - 15 million dollar homes. You should go there and do a tour.
Oakland has gentrified and displaced the most African Americans out of low to moderate housing. Many seniors, students and singles (long term residents)are pushed out by techie transplants. We've legally assisted and bailed out people when they did Bay Bridge eviction protests.
Joloff truck is first known at the Ashby Bart Flea Market (Berkeley). They came to Oakland after it heavily gentrified. My team helped advocate for more Black business permits that would allow vendors to park and sell on the lake.
Cana( family friends) is located in Lake Merritt off Lakeshore, not downtown.
People either need to have a high income and have a strong support system or solid family already in place if they plan to move there. It's only enjoyable and glamorous if you make three times the rent.
Yes, we've donate funds to support Black Girls Who Code. We ♥️ Julia and Nancy Khan (mixed girls)! They both do alot for African American women.
I enjoyed this video very much yesss black excellence loveee it
It's nice to see the bright side of Oakland CA!
Always a bright side to a story.
Had my wedding at Doña Tomas! Love that place!
It's that smile when he peeped that Jollof. Truck for meeeee lol
Got chills hearing PAC talk about Oakland
Thank You!
Yay area. One of the most interesting cities in the world.. 510
Much Gratitude
Thanks for uniquely showcasing my hometown!
You are welcome we took great pride in creating it.
Very uniquely....sad he didn't show our despair ties...such as trash all over... homeless...and worthless major
Yes! Oakland is a great and wonderful place that unfortunately has a lot of misconceptions. I grew up in west Oakland for most of my life and I rarely see Bay Area representation except for SF. I love to see videos on my home
YOOOO! Bruh, mad props on doing what you do bro. #BlackExcellence
You and Kelly look good together!
Welcome back.

my hometown!
im born and raised in Oakland so im happy to see you showcase my hometown i live in jersey i was visiting my family there last year!
@Mizzladie30 no offense but wth would you move from Oakland to New Jersey? I'm from Jersey & left 2 yrs ago.
@@louisdeuxclervoyant3766 lol it’s expensive in California plus I wanted to explore outside California the same reason why ppl want to leave Jersey to move to Cali lol I get it all the time
@Mizzladie30 Your most definitely right, ppl wanna experience something different than the usual. I moved from Newark to Nashville TN 2 yrs ago but I got an offer from Job . They said I can relocate to Oakland or NYC, now coming from North Jersey I'm hella familiar with NYC. So I'm thinking Oakland, Is Oakland similar to NJ, how is living there?
@@louisdeuxclervoyant3766 it’s cool nothing is really there anymore a lot ppl moving from Oakland the culture is bomb lots of cannibis clubs great places to eat the museums great but not like it used to be Oakland was the place to be Hyphy movement was 🔥 the sports teams even left Oakland lol the raiders in Vegas Warriors moving to SF and etc you might like if you never I’m from there lol so nothing new to me
@@mizzladie3066 that's how I feel about Jersey/NYC, like it use to be poppin but now all the good ol spots are gentrified. How you like Jersey so far lol? They dont have no cannabis shops like cali lol.
Thank you! Come back you missed a lot!
Yes Jubril!
Soooooo much Culture/Sooooooo much Black History!!!!! O.A.K.L.A.N.D.!!!!!!

If your moving to the Bay it’s “Old Schools” not lowridahs. Two different regions. Low riders are LA. 😅

Oaktown Cali

Get prepared to participate in the tribute we (Money B, JR Valrey, and Bobby McCall)are gonna send out to Oakland, The Bay, 2 Pac, and now Shock G. In what would have been Pac's 50th birthday. Paytc
Legitimately, how do you know all these people?
510❤️💜💜❤️
Tupac was in High School when he was in Baltimore...There was no game to learn..he was a student !!!!
Que bonito esas partes que graban,porque no graban toda la basura qué hay en la mayoría de las calles ese cochinero que hacen,es una vergüenza esta ciudad y que la misma la autoridades bo hagan nada
Oakland is what people think Atlanta is.
✊🏿✊🏿
How they got Draymond green playing ball and still got time to host a web series
I can’t stand the gentrification what is going on in the city of Oakland California. It infuriates me. I remember when somebody called the police on the people barbecuing at the lake. And it’s like how dare they people will make me sick
Visit but don't move here unless you can afford to live in the Hills. Crime spiked back to 90's rates. African Clubs: AU Lounge, Parliment, Leige open now w/ food vendors.
It's Marin city
Hope u got some bitcoin brooooo
Nah spent some time there with a ceo f that
Is it me or does he look like Draymond Green?
Tupac was born in NYC (the birthplace of Hip Hop) and he moved to Baltimore at the age of 13.
did you even listen to what was said??? smh
Wow quit hating. All he said was he got his game from oakland and that's the city he represents. Everybody knows he was born in New York. But he didn't grow up there. He lived in Baltimore longer than he did in New York. In his early career he was known as am oakland rapper. And he didn't even live in oakland that long
