Yeah, when I was on FB, he was always posting something positive and usually with his daughter. Seems like a 10 toes kind of guy.

It's crazy how the history of gentrification in the Bay is basically documented in the Rap scene from the 80's until today. Back in the late 80's, Oakland, Frisco and Vallejo and maybe Richmond were the only cities in the Bay starting to make noise with Oakland leading the pack because of impact of Too $hort independent hustle alone.
Frisco, Vallejo and East Palo Alto scenes exploded in the early 90's. Because the tradition of Rap in the Bay has been some West African griot shyt of recording the history of the communities we lived in.
EPA was the murder cap, so of course the Rap scene in 92-94' in the small town cemetary was a fool. Where I'm from in Lakeview in Frisco was breaking all time murder records, so the rap sound in 93-95' there reflected that. Same with HP. All the turfs in Frisco produced ridiculous amounts of music during that era.
But as time went on, certain hoods no longer produced rappers making big noise in the underground anymore. Frisco rap scene has shrank little by little since its peak in the mid 90's.
In the 2000's, we started seeing more rappers from Pittsburg and Antioch because of the changing tides of gentrification in the Bay. And that wasn't a bad thing because P World gave us legends like the Jacka and the Mob Figaz.
Today, if you go onto Thizzler, most rappers showcased on there ain't even from the Bay. But they from Stockton, Sac and even Yakima, Washington for God's sake. And most new Northern Cali rappers making noise seem to be either Mexican or Cambodian. You can clearly see the Bay sound is the blueprint for their whole sonic landscape.
Vallejo ain't had a major movement since SOB RBE. And most of them weren't really from the V and it showed.
Oakland used to be the mecca of the Bay sound and culture. Now, most newer Oakland rappers are just okay and I'm not even hating forreal.
If you look at Frisco's tiny rap scene in the modern era, it is very indicative of gentrification. The only rappers left making the traditional hard mob music sound about the streets are from the last remaining hoods like Sunnydale and Towerside. The Fillmoe had a renaissance a few years ago, but it seems to be slowly fizzling out.
Larry June is literally a post gentrification Frisco rapper. He made a name rapping about Whole Foods. He moved out of the city when he was literally 4 years old, spent the rest of his childhood and adolescence between Atlanta and Vallejo, but his ultimate flex is being able to afford to live in overpriced modern San Francisco and relive his birth year of 1991 complete a fleet of fully restored classic whips as well as modern luxuries all afforded by supreme hustle in passive income. He do make fire music though.
Sorry for the rant, but as an OG San Francisco native 80's baby birthed on the turf, it's a sad state of affairs these days.
