My momma always told me they'd be days like this RIP Woodie

[BabyBubz]

Im from tha Twomp, right on the corner of West 20th and C st. My mom would tell me stories bout Wood and all the other homies and homegirls going to chichibu park and turning up having a good time. I was just a little kid, but I remember Nate Banks (RIP) and Woodie (RIP) coming around. Man I wish they were still around. But I'll keep the music alive every day.

If y’all don’t know woodie a good introduction would be “the streets are callin me “ or “the way you feel” 💯💯

[Sapha]

[bayareadrifter]

He passed in 2007 not 1997. SUPPOSEDLY took his own life

[PaKi-VeLLi]

Not many know of Woodie in the uk..
I heard of him about 8/9 years ago..

Legend..

[Tootall]

Demons in my sleep Woodie.. He dubbed a demonic voice over his own in this song showing his own struggles such a massive song

[jaydee]

woodie got one of the best unique flows that ppl try to replicate but can never duplicate

[Goonieblaze]

i went to heald with this dude and he was consistent. every break between classes he was banging out beats on the counters by the microwaves. fuck the negative aspects of gangs but Woodie was a real one

[Indigenous_Talk]

My little brother's and family in canada knew about woodie and still love his music 🎶

[londynbell_]

Good shit bra keep our culture alive by covering Cali legend especially bay area legends

[Cloudyqueso]

Shits wild. I've met Tone a few times throughout the years, but my brother was close to Jacka. Every now and then, I would see him listening to his songs and tearing up. Crazy knowing Woodie brought them up.

[dmorrow]

I remember just kicking back with Woodie and Los in his parents house over in Mira Vista Hills in Antioch… We were kids man… He was throwing down fire back then and Los (blackbird) was too. Wish things went a whole different way…

[kennygary]

Ryan was my friend and and I lived in the yoc and we was on fire Antioch was Electric it was like finally someone in are hood was gonna make something out of this city.it was a good time the parties were lit.

[EB-Ghost]

[philipthrasher]

I remember back in high school about 2005 or 2006 my brother introduced me to this guy he knew & said “ hey Philip this is woodies brother” “his dad married woodies mom” I didn’t hear a woodie cd until 2006 it was Yoc Influenced, Northern expozure vol. 1, Life stories vol. 1, demonz-n-my sleep & Northern expozure vol. 7.
So when I say “ REST IN PEACE” truly I shout it
