Mike Tyson "20 Years Ago 90% Rappers Were Legit Tough Guys"

[blackslash]

a half jewish, half r&b singin cornball from Toronto that was on a show called degrassi is now the most popular artist IN HIPHOP today..............................................

how the fukk can anybody seriously compare this with late 80's/90's hiphop?

this era in hiphop is the softest eva and anybody that disagree is either dumb as fukk or just in

But the biggest rapper in the 90's was a strippin ass ballerina ass fakket....which is worse?

You have a point, however:

- It ain't like Cube got beat up by a random muffucca...he got beat up by a legit, reputable dude who was known in them streets he got seen in...you can be "tough" and still take an L. Cube was still that nicca that ran up in Bryan Turner's office with thugs to get his paper right...

- From what I understand (I don't really follow his career), Cam's issue is that he has a series of events that have people question his toughness.

- There's a difference between guys being "tough" as in not being a punk and them trying to portray themselves as Billy Badasses. There were a lot more of the latter back in the day, but also it seems there were more of the former as well.

I came in here to say this, but you already did.

Also Cube approached Solo. This is according to Solo, who was like that Cube would even stand up to him.

Yeah he got his ass beat but he didn't hide in his car, or behind security, or call the cops. Not saying Cube is a tough guy, but he wasn't a punk.

loool wtf. So its' true...he got punched and didint throw anything back or was it a punch n run situation?

I guess cam was never about that life thats why jim/juelz did him dirty

 

[Raw Lyrics]

Mad?

Niqqa, fukk I got to be mad about?

I actually like Pac as a rapper. But I'm just keeping it real. He's wasn't a real tough guy. He wasn't about that life. And it caught up to him in them end tryna play that part while messing with REAL tough guys and real g's.

I mean homie went from this

To this

There's only so long fake thugs can pretend

I dunno about that...Pac was bustin his guns on dudes who were bustin shots at him (cops)...just cause you have a gun on your person, doens't mean you're the type of person who's built (mentally that is) to engage in a shootout.

Like Sonny from Bronx Tale said
"Shooting a gun doesn't make you a tough guy, anyone can shoot a gun...it's when the other guy has a gun, that'll show who's the tough guy"

 

[spliz]

loool wtf. So its' true...he got punched and didint throw anything back or was it a run n punch situation?

I guess cam was never about that life thats why jim/juelz did him dirty

I mean...Cam was really in the streets..doin dirt...but NONE of them immediate nikkas was really all that bout that life on some thug shyt....to be fair Cam got caught off guard on some shyt...but shyt..I know a nikka who snatched a blunt RIGHT OUTTA Juelz hand after he rolled it...all Juelz said was "it's nothin nikka we got alotta more in the whip" ..lol...

 

[hustlemania]

no lol i refuse to believe.

its pretty normal, in all forms of entertainment.. been a normal practice forever..

no big deal.. just part of the game only some people wanna see some sides of..

yet...with all that said...Cube would son about 80% of these new rappers...nikkas is THAT soft now...I genuinely believe that..on top of that...these nikkas ALSO get away with WAY MORE than rappers would have...one the biggest rappers in the game at one point was openly kissing another grown man on the lips and callin him daddy...look at Lil B...this nikka made an album called "Im Gay'...called himself a pretty bytch...got duffed out by an actual gay rapper ON CAMERA I might add...CAN'T RAP...yet STILL has DROVES of fans my nikka..lol...Ross still gets looked at as a real nikka even with all the C.O shyt that came out...Cam didn't disappear cause of just the punch in the eye..Cam let the shyt defeat him...he basically disappeared for over a year right after he made an embarrassing video..on top of that...he get straight done dirty by his own unloyal team...when he came back..he still got mad love...it's just that he lost alot of the swag and skills and overall inspiration that made people fans of him in the first place...Cam in uninspired now...and I can't even blame him...

oh.. i agree with you, no doubt..

at the same time, you got a cat like Dr. Dre.. he was never a gangster.. a photo of him popped up in sequence, lookin like a ugly female Soul Train dancer.. dude even tried to trick the public, into believeing that Boss(a former Catholic school, valley girl) was a "gangsta rapper".. Eazy E was callin him out his name, tellin the world he aint a gangster.. yet, he gets together with Suge, drops DR and the classic known as the Chronic, with some gangsters in tow- all forgotten.. that wouldnt/couldnt happen now..

even when BCC, and Wu was throwing shots and saying Biggie and them fake,(and these were cats that were known to be in the streets)- cats thought they was just hating.. and, although its never been confirmed Big was heavy in the street like that, he went on to have a great career.. became a icon.. etc.. now.. that wouldn't fly.. he would be Guerilla Black status, in 2 seconds..

although it seems there are vast difference in what was accepted back then, and now.. its really not.. aside from Wayne kissing a dude in the mouth, theres A LOT of similarities.. just alot of people didnt know, or want to know the truth as much as they do now..

sorry for the essay, fam..

You have a point, however:

- It ain't like Cube got beat up by a random muffucca...he got beat up by a legit, reputable dude who was known in them streets he got seen in...you can be "tough" and still take an L. Cube was still that nicca that ran up in Bryan Turner's office with thugs to get his paper right...

im not sure where you're going with the Cube thing.. would you rather a rapper get beat up by someone reputable..? a ass whoopin, is a ass whoopin.. no matter how you break it down.. and, Cube did carry himself like a billy badass.. lets keep it real in here..

as far as Cam- I said the eye-jammy, because that seems to be the "catalyst", from a public perspective.. from what i understand, hs Mother got ill and he moved down South.. might wanna confirm that with a dedicated dip stan, tho..

actually.. Solo caught him slippin on Sunset.. he was in his car, and he got beat up- in his car..

not sure if thats when his chain got snatched, or not.. but, i do know he got beat up in his car on Sunset..

maybe he went to stand up out the car, and got that work.. dont make him no punk, by any means.. anyone can get caught slippin..

IM 20 GOT DAMMIT!

Nah but for real mike obviously never meant most rap nikkas were real in that time. Dude probably meant the atmosphere was more harder/gangster. The top 5 rap nikkas today aint rolling round with real legit street dudes like they were in 88-05

 

[OG Talk]

What about Cube and Da Lench Mob vs King Sun @ Jack The Rapper?

What about Cube vs Kam in Watts?

What about Cube catchin the fade with Cypress Hill?


I hear there was an era where Cube was active behind the scenes but am too young to know the details..Supposedly he used to be a hot head...
