Beverly hills Quote by The Game
“LAs crazy. When I was younger and watched The Beverly Hillbillies Or Beverly Hills 90210, I used to think it was so far from the hood. We were just in Compton and saw the yellow tape out, the sheriffs pickin up shells and looking for someone to arrest and take to jail. We get on the freeway for 10 or 15 minutes, and were in Beverly Hills, where we can sit in a Subway with no problems.”
