That was like a nick name he was given before he even started really rapping. When he first came to the Bay Area he was living in Marin City and also stayed in Santa Rosa with Ray Luv when they had a group called "Strictly Dope". He then linked up with Digital Underground from Oakland. He wasn't "pretending he was from Oakland" he was part of the scene.He wasn't that big until he started to pretend he was from Oakland. Previously his name was MC New York.
His rhymes were always simple and one of the worst beat pickers in hip hop.
Tupac's albums have amazing production, not sure what the hell you're talking about.
*EDIT - This thread is old as hell but got necro'd...
