Farewell, Forty-Niner Fever
For a brief, nostalgic remembrance of the 49er fervor that suddenly died in Sunday's NFL play-off loss, here's a hip-hop video tribute that was a hit on YouTube this month and was made by Matt Straus, who grew up in El Cerrito and Albany.
It seems like a long time in the past now, but remember three days ago when much of the Bay Area was in the midst of 49er mania?
As the team's Super Bowl hopes grew, an unofficial hip-hop anthem by Bay Area rapper Bailey, "Who's Got It Better," was made into a hit YouTube video by Matt Straus, who grew up in El Cerrito and Albany.
It was uploaded Dec. 30 and had been viewed 540,601 times at the time this article was written. It was featured by KGO-TV, the San Francisco Chronicle and USA Today.
