Thizz Nation

For the past few days the neighbors have noticed that there have been quite a few random kids coming through the neighborhood. My Dad, being the upstanding citizen, actually called the cops on a few of them when he noticed that they were carrying alcohol and disappearing over a fence.

About 50 feet behind our house lies this huge ass water tank. When my older brother was a teenager, this was where he first got drunk with his friends and I never thought much of it ever since then.

Well, guess the cops found out that one of the reasons why we've suddenly gotten an influx of kids is because there's a 50 foot high mural of the late Vallejo emcee Mac Dre.

YADADIMEAN?!

So, of course my ass had to hop (okay, shut up, I used a ladder) our back fence to check it out myself. Little did I know that I'd be greeted by some dope ass graff work! Guess word of the Mac Dre mural just hit MySpace, so folks have been coming to check it out. Click the thumbnail for more goodness.

Edit: I just realized y'all probably think I live in the ghetto now. I can hear y'all saying, "Note to self: Do not visit her." HAHAHA

awww! just like my home area used to be! our graffiti is no longer so creative-- more like the gas pumps at the Hess station with "fuck Bush, nigga!" written all over in permanent marker. all the good art-y stuff has been whitewashed for fear of "gang connotations." DURTY SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN, Y'ALL.

Yeah, there were some tagger assholes that wrote over some of the pieces, but when you got to the Pieta and Mac Dre ones they were completely unscathed.

Which just shows me two things about Vallejo: You don't fuck with God and you don't fuck with Mac Dre.

Welcome back to live journal.

I know this really really really makes me out to be an eskimo pie, but my catholic high school english teacher from San Rafael sent me a letter a few years ago with "mac dre" as a "nickname" between his real first and last names.

I thought he made it up. I know. I'm laaaame.

I'm from SoCal, but Mac Dre gets love down here too. That mural is NICE. I gotta check that out the next time I'm in the Bay.

BTW, I think I found you through Jinyo or Scrawnysquall's LJ.

Aw shit, Random Ninja signin' the LJ.

I guess I'll hold back my army of attack hummingbirds when I see y'all behind my house on the way to check out the mural, then. Thanks for the head's up!
