Often when people talk about San Francisco's Tenderloin District, they have negative things to say about the neighborhood. But rapper Pusha T praised the Tenderloin and the community's famous Eddy Street on Twitter Saturday morning after he played a show at 1015 Folsom as part of his Daytona Tour.

The way in which he praised the neighborhood, though, is raising some eyebrows.

"Consistency is the best thing about the Bay Area, it's always a lot of love and high energy," Pusha T wrote on Twitter on Friday. "Riding thru the 'Tenderloin' 20 mins. ago, man smokes crack on sidewalk. 2002, on my first visit here, 12 men were smoking crack on a nearby sidewalk...Eddy Street stayed consistent too."

He had other positive things to say about the Bay Area, too. In another tweet, he told San Francisco, Oakland, and the rest of the Bay Area, "I love y'all...always a good time."

Pusha T has rapped regularly about selling crack growing up in Virginia Beach, Va. since he emerged as one half of the rap duo Clipse, which he started with his brother, in the early 2000s.

In the early Clipse song "Got Caught Dealin'," Pusha rapped "My whole team channelin' coke through urban portholes." The hook of the song recounts how Pusha's brother, the rapper No Malice, was caught dealing cocaine at age 15.

Pusha has also talked about being a drug dealer outside of the recording studio. "As I got older, I just ventured off into that world," Pusha said when talking about his lyrics that reference selling drugs.

And Pusha T's most recent album, "Daytona," features a photo of the bathroom of R&B singer Whitney Houston, littered with drug-paraphernalia. Houston died, partially of cocaine intoxication, in 2012.

Some people responded to Pusha T's tweet with anger. "Basically the neighborhood hasn't evolved. Thanks for pointing that out," wrote one Twitter user.

Another wrote: "Really weird but cool sentimentality over the consistent crack abuse in the bay, Terrance!"

Pusha's comments felt true to other people who responded, though. "This man is speaking historical facts!!!" one person responded. "Lmao this is extremely accurate," someone else wrote.

And still others responded to the comments on crack and consistency by pointing out how unique San Francisco and the rest of the Bay Area and Northern California are compared to the rest of the country.

"The City is like a whole different country," one person responded.

Finally, something we can all agree on.
