any fool who thinks these crack babies nowadays have more street cred than the 90's rappers who grew up in the REAL crack era is a damn fool. nuff said
I dunno breh. I'm just happy things are nowhere near as bad as they were 20+ years ago, though, even in those places.
Aside from those three in the #1 spot it's always random ass places that make these top 10 lists though.
Think about it, in the 90s and 80s rap was still new and anyone could really get into the rap game.
Nowdays its so controlled and so many politics and money involved that you need to really be racked up to even get your foot in the door. And its only one way for a young kid to get that kind of money to start his career
Yo, wtf is going on in DC, Detroit and New Orleans that these nikkas keep going back and forth as the murder capital???
nikkas gotta chill
forgot about thisanyone can get in now.
soulja boy got in with a laptop, renaming mp3's on p2p networks, my space, and maybe some pirated software, lol.
Tell that waffle color wannabe negro dont speak on shyt he dont know about
The fact that renowned studio gangsters like Mobb Deep, Onyx and Dr. Dre were terrorising the industry tells you all that you need to know about the rappers in the 90s.
the "BC" era (Before Crack)
Man do you any of you lost ass nikkas know what a c00n is?typical c00n talk from this beige lookin sambo
when pac was getting pressed & robbed..he pulled out his piece and at least tried to defend himself..this c00n ran on some forrest gump shiit..
funny that he mentions all these b level rappers..im sure you can find 1000 b-level mc's from 90's that did worse than those 3 he mentioned.
Pac, Big, Nas......that generation walked through the fire more than most.
During the height of the crack/gang epidemic, they were teens....probably one of the most dangerous times to be a young & black, period.
Thing is, their parents were more conscious than the modern parent.Their parents came through the "revolutionary 60's"...children of freedom fighters...Black Panthers...and the Elijah Muhammad/Malcolm X era NOI...etc
So being educated & having knowledge was still the theme.Those parents were around in the "BC" era (Before Crack)
The parents of the modern rapper are from the "AC" (After Crack) era....the crack/gangs destroyed that link to the past.So while they may be more "wild", they don't have it between the ears like the previous generation of rappers did.That racial pride wasn't directly passed down to them like it was with Pac/Nas for example.That's why the soul is missing.
A bunch of Sonny's and no Michaels.....but hey, Sonny was fun while he lasted
