it aint even about the Gucci mane influence from Memphis ....
hell i know for a fact NYC had some fukked up immoral music as well PRIOR to Triple Six Mafia and Memphis sound...
Or LIL WAYNE....
It wasn't ONE ARTIST that cause a descent into "immorlity" in rap music....
it was a plethora of artists NOT limited to one region or era.....
i had the benifit of hearing NYC mixtapes and radio while living in the tristate before i made the full transition to the south in the late 90's....
and i recall hearing some STRAIGHT FUKKERY on Nyc mixtapes and live radio (stretch and bobbito , 89-tec 9)
like these lil byatches out of the Bronx called P.M.S
these heffas i'll admit was fine as fukk
but were foul as fukk on the mic..they said shyt that would make Cardi B. look like a Nun...
dope on the mic i'll admit...just immoral as a muthaphuka
lines like.....
"check it n1gga..i got flavas
but im not pushing blowpops and nowalaters
im pushing CRACK out the back of louie's BODEGA!!"
or the original "rampage" from the bx (not from the flip squad) who stated...
"stop swearing or caring if i pull the trigger
i pull the arms of old people off like ACTION FIGURES!"
and it wasn't just crack cocaine raps and gun busting these NYC rappers were yapping about
keep in mind the horrorcore era of the early 90's was in full swing...and mofos had NO FILTER ON WHAT THEY SAID
like probally the most disgusting rap i ever heard was spit on the CULTURALY CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED RADIO SHOW...stretch and bobbito
where Keith Nut accompanied by Fat Joe and the Terror squad said and i quote.....
"I AIN'T YOUR ORDINARY N1GGER ..MISTER!
I DO SHYT LIKE SUKK MY OWN DIKK
AND CHiLD MOLEST MY LITTLE SISTER"
And keep in mind nobody checked or held Keith Nut for saying such sick shyt...because in reality ALOT OF NYC "LYRICAL" RAPPERS were saying some disgusting unethical shyt...but GOT PASSES...CAUSE THEY WERE FROM THE 5 BOROS AND WERE "NICE ON THE MIC" SON
Sorry im just keeping it real as my OLDER GOD peers would say..I CAN'T SUGAR COAT SHYT ABOUT THE OLD SCHOOL
and i don't buy this whole WELL IF IT'S LYRICAL B...HE'S DOING IT FOR THE CULTURE
NAH FUKK DAT.....FOUL IS FOUL....
Cause just because you pour SYRUP over SH1T don't MAKE IT PANCAKES
