Oak Cliff, located in Southwestern area of Dallas, TX (also known as The OC, O.C.T., and The Cliff). It's famous for it's regular local news coverage due to violent crimes and acts of poverty, but this is a huge misrepresentation. While there are parts of Oak Cliff where looking at the wrong person in the wrong way will get you beat up, stabbed, or shot, overall it's an okay place to live.
"Oak Cliff n*gga, that's my hood. Put it in his face, get that sh*t understood. This ain't what ya boy, tellin ya you'll get hud. (Why?) Cause, Oak Cliff n*gga, that's my hood." - Young Nino

Oak Cliff is a place mixed with blacks and mexicans only about 5 white people out of the whole hood. Oak Cliff is also kwown for its violent crimes and a deep unemployment line. People in oak cliff are very easily disturbed so please do not look at anyone wrong. Some people compare oak cliff to south central L.A or Compton but i don't think its that bad.
