Not a great picture, but Plan Bee is an #Oakland legend, a rapper that was killed when I was a young teenager in the Bay Area and this mural on International in #eastoakland still stands…

“Givin’ out that raw food to lions disguised as lambs” - Exhibit C, Jay Electronica

I passed by Jefferson Church at Jefferson and Vermont and the graphics on the church (done by Bass 11) reminded me of this line from one of my favorite songs by the rapper Jay Electronica. Edited the photo and added the text on photogene2 and picnik.com

The Rose That Grew From Concrete by 2Pac

Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete?

Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else ever cared.
