Wait, it wasn't shot in Oakland?

uh, lol Oakland didn't have any stores like gucci, fendi, or prada in 2011 ... no, not shot in Oakland. also: street signs the wrong color and font; vacant lot that bears a resemblance to various vacant lots in Oakland, but with a sign showing the 310 area code ... not Oakland.

I have only the vaguest memory of what the video looked like but 99% of her brand was about Oakland (including lines in the song). I expected her video to be shot there.

she's from here, yeah, and some of the locations in the video do resemble Oakland. Like there are definite similarities between parts of L.A. and parts of Oakland architecturally and in terms of like, landscaping and plants. Like, if the street signs had been green and in the font Oakland uses for street signs and the names were familiar, I could have been convinced that it was shot in Oakland ... I mean, if someone told me that the shopping district street scenes were shot on Lakeshore Ave and they just photoshopped the L.A. signs and cut away to the fancier stores, I wouldn't say it was impossible ...

in the interview linked above she talks about the l.a. video shoot and how she had moved to l.a. three years earlier. sounds like it was all shot in l.a. including the apartment stuff (at the "orsini". the interview is worth a read! she sounds like a pretty cool person honestly).

xp to vc: ah, okay i get it now. i killfiled deej several years ago and a quick clickthrough on his blocked posts reminded me why that was such a good move.

"the wrong way" ... lmao ... yeah look at me gatekeeping a ten year career in rap with an artist youve only had endless opportunities to encounter happens to make a song exactly like 483749 of his other songs just more successful and broadcast from larger platforms and performed on fallon ... coincidentally the one forks likes

devastating revelation.

this is still a fun song

i can always call on it when i need a boost

for the record i don't like back in blood or pretty much any lil durk song i've ever heard

but even back in blood is better than gucci gucci

'epochal' 'stunning'
