nikka seemed real convincing in the wire

Red is just a normal hood cat that never rolled wit bodyguards and wasn't afraid to knuckle up wit anybody... Reason why he is respected because he's one of them rappers that's always in the hood. I wouldn't be surprised if hes still living in that crib wit the broke doorbell lol

Red still live in hood and appear at every Newark Festival downtown.

i heard "yo fam. i like your coat." out of the darkness
and thought to myself... "here we go"

If you dont have a story like this, you aint really grow up in a city.

My buddy got shot at right after a cat said "nice jacket"...when he got to the crib he had bullet holes on each side of the jacket

I feel I have to defend myself being a young nikka from the south If I hadn't watched How High I wouldn't know who either of these nikkas was honestly and I associate them heavily with each other plus I was off a Dro Stick

 

[Free White & 21]

fuk all dat justify my thug shyt





Edit: Also this video shows you nikkaz been flashin burners before the Smack days..stop it..back when nikkas used to have real weaponry in videos

This shyt was a legit hit back in the day. Man this shyt used to come on so much (radio, video) i was tired of hearing this shyt

I would do anything to hear some dope shyt like this being played everywhere nowdays

I remember Nas calling him out because of the Christina Aguilera track, and then Red released a mixtape called Ill at Will like a play on Nas' fallen comrade's name. Around the same time, the I'll Be Dat video dropped and Cormega was in it which made it seem even more like a beef considering Nas' issues with him. Like a month or two later there was a pic in a magazine with both of them in the studio. I've always wondered about the story behind all of that.

Real talk, Red is top 20 all time, and I wouldn't be argumentative if someone said top 5 or 10.

He's top 5 for me......

I remember reading about Red back then....before he got in the game he was sticking up a lot of people.

 

[FreshAIG]

, aint nobody scared of no damn Redman, man


he seems like one of the coolest dudes ever, maybe thats why he never had no real beefs and all this.

Yes, they were man lol

You got to remember, rap then is nothing like rap now. Especially to kids eyes back then. People thought certain nikkas were legit crazy. I knew kids in my school who thought Redman was a psychopathic lunatic lol. Watch the Tonight's the Night video, Redman was the first rapper in videos with nikkas with wild guns and shyt (Not talking like the fake Mafia videos, I mean just nikkas in the hood strapped up).

 

[FreshAIG]

And Redman didn't name his tape Ill At Will in reference to Nas friend it was a play on Ice Cube's EP "Kill At Will"

 

[Big Mel]

Clearly you've never been to Camden.....

i don't do south Jersey in general except back in 80's when the PA faction of my fam would connect with me & moms at cape may.

"I heard that nikka brother lynch really ate a baby"



I miss that shyt, and you can be cool and be a lunatic, you go anywhere in the hood and you could be standing next to mass murderers and not be able to tell, everybody ain't gonna be o-dogg about it.

I wish I had got a chance to chop it up with him when I ran into him in vegas

LOL word, all the rumors I used to hear in school back in the day. Some true though

 

[Big Mel]

Real talk, I grew up in NYC in the 80's/90's and anytime you heard any variation

• " yo my man"
• "yo son"
• "yo dawg"
• "what size you wear?

you knew it was on.

or the ominous "come here right quick". is he friend? is he foe? I DONT KNOW!!!!!!

 

[Newark88]

Or if nikkas saw your kick game was nice, they would hit you with "My man, what size you are?"
