what it do

should result in a mob or scrapper doce'n, (OAKLAND and spreading). Turned in to a more casual greeting in bay area neighborhoods (3100, CRESTSIDE, HP, FILLMOE, THE SWAMP, LV, ETC.). Used by bay artist like Mac Dre, Mac Mall, Keak, Bailey, FAB, Etc. And appearantly borrowed by rappers from Houston, in much tha same way Snoop Doggy Dog borrows the Bay's 'izlle (ex. off the heezie fa shezzie).
