"Straight from the west, Oakland is the best, baby its so fresh ..."

I'm off to Oakland for the weekend to play with Tyrell at perhaps the best jazz club in the country, Yoshi's. I'm looking forward to it, it should be a lot more fun than Palm Beach.

And bonus points to anyone who can tell me what rapper I got the lyrics from for the title.

    I'm saddened by the fact that my first thought was "Rapper from Oakland?...M.C. Hammer?" Quick search and it definitely wasn't Hammer. I won't spoil someone else's thunder who actually did know who it was without a Google search.

    That would be Too Short, baby. Hand over the props and get ready to watch Capote.

    I wish I was a little bit taller, wish I was a baller, wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her...

    yeah baby---its all me, all the time.

    Have fun at Yoshi's and give Tracy a big hug and kiss from me. I'd love to go to Yoshi's myself. Do you know how many " Insert musician name LIVE AT YOSHI'S" cds I have in my collection?

    Props to me, over and over... go kathy, go kathy

    Nice of ya'll not to point out that although Too Short is responsible for the line in today's title, it was actually Skee Lo who did the rap I quoted. Still, I do wish I was a little bit taller.

    Too Short is the correct answer. Kathy your gold fronts and Adidas track suit is in the mail.
