It's (a very rainy) Friday! Jaq's Video Pick of the Week...

back in the 90s (omigod, i can't believe it's not the 90s!), the west coast, SoCal specifically, was still thriving and putting out some dope artists. skee-lo, anyone? haha. just kidding. no but really..."i wish i was a little bit taller/i wish i was a baller?" classic. not to mention the whole Good Life movement. and the Bay. of course, some might say the West is still holding its own. but i kinda disagree. we just ain't doing it like we used to. sad sad. anyhoo... here's an old school joint to take you back..
