I applied for a place, took a tour, and hope to get it. It's in the Northeast Tacoma and Brown's Point area. Every-time I tell a friend I get "Tacoma!? That's the hood." I don't get that vibe from this area, granted, I didn't drive around at night.

I grew up in between gang neighborhoods in California, so I know a hood when I see it, and this is not it. I will say though, there was a pretty clear line I crossed while following my GPS where the neighborhood went from middle class to poverty. I don't think these houses have been updated since 1995.

Do I need to know something, or is there a reputation casting a shadow of this area that just ins't so? The place seems outdated, but not dangerous.

In 2006 a (suspected) California rap artist called Hannibal opened up for Tech N9ne at the Senator Theatre in Chico, California.

My friend bought his cd for his opening song. It was badass.

The lyrics I can remember gi like this:

Chorus:

Hypnotiq got me turned into Incredible Hulk

I’m no joke when it comes to let the pistol smoke

Ohh no, I ski on my Vouges (x2)

Hypntiq erotic I wanna frolic….

….For the platinum thunder

…Lust for murda

I cannot find this anywhere. I’m guessing all his CD’s were burned locally or something.

I asked ChatGBT, and no, I’m not talking about Kurt Calhoun.

Any leads are appreciated.
