Video: Farewell, 49ers Fever
For a brief, nostalgic remembrance of the 49ers 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 Albany and El Cerrito.
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 Albany and El Cerrito.
It was uploaded Dec. 30 and had been viewed 542,540 times at the time this article was posted.
