I honestly did not believe I'd make it past 25. My 26th birthday I sat in my car and just balled my eyes out. I literally had no plans to make it past that age. Ima be 30 this year and sometimes it's still fukking with me.

[1970s HeRon Flow]

Imagine if LA woulda had that dumbass N.O. law where they drop chages if no eye witness and 60 days (or sumthin like that,cant fully remember) back during those times easily double the murders,endless murders and retaliation murders once they hit the streets again after charges dropped

long discussion short.

rock cocaine hit... dealers was making crazy money, and needed shyt to make sure they kept that money, which brought the AK's and machine guns.

fiends was so strung out, they were doing anything to get money to suck that glass dikk

on top of that, rock cocaine hit during the recession in the 80's... so you had tons of people eager for quick dollars, and shyt to escape from an already shytty situation.


it was like the perfect storm
