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

[hex]

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

There is several people that can vouch for Pac while he was a back up dancer. He was running around with guns, acting wild.

You new rap fans are too caught up in appearances. As long as a rapper has a few tatts and sounds tough on record you think he's real. If a rapper cracks a smile or dances you think he can't possibly be "real". shyt is

Fred.

Even tho im from there, I must say. Harlem nikkas in general aint bout that action. There's more hustla, fashionista, pretty boy type cats than straight up thugs. We more the fukk ya bytch and style on you type of nikkas. Juelz Santana in fact is prolly the best representation of a true harlem cat in the game right now.

NO harlem legend was about that life fo real fo real. From Big L to Mase to Cam to ASAP


Cam went to college n dropped out same thing with Mase. They was school athletes that rapped. When Cam was hustlin in the streets it was nickle n dime ish after he came home after he dropped out. Mase was already puttin him in the game shortly after, so its not like he had a big name in the streets either way.

basically...

That's not what Solo said. I'll try to find the interview but Cube hopped out the car like "what's up". Solo was like because he assumed Cube knew better. They fought, and Cube got his ass beat. Solo said "his chain kinda fell off into my hand" after he got knocked out.

The re-enactment in the "Whoop Whoop" video even has Cube out his car.

Fred.

never heard that, but if he got out the car.. i guess he did..

from what i know, he got beat up,. in his car.. as i said, maybe he got up like he was getting out the car, and caught them beats..

dont negate from whatever else i was saying, tho.. never said Cube was a "punk".. just the fact a real street dude was surprised he would approach him, says enough in itself..

im confused.. are you and the other cat saying people saw Cube as nothing more than a regular ole Q-Tip, Busta Rhymes, Del, etc. type rapper back in the day..? because, thats my original point.. he wasnt the image he portrayed.. just like alot of people get uptight about rappers doing now..

 

[spliz]

he still wasn't a cornball thou..pac made music that EVERYBODY could feel..strippers,cacs,thugs, & just everyday working, regular folk..and he could & would go in the hood and fukk wit street nikkas & get respect

drake not built like that..

there's stories of Pac showin up at random house parties dead center in the hood...lol..

Favorite rappers =/= as favorite "Gangster"

 

[Lewis Black]

I wouldn't go that far..like I said...Cam and Jim was really in the streets a lil bit..it's just that Freaky was the wild nikka...Jim and Cam wasn't wild like that...that's why that whole beef with Nas was a joke to me...this nikka Juelz was poppin shyt to Nashawn but Nashawn woulda mopped that nikka if they ever crossed paths...Jim talked all that shyt but EVERYTIME he EVER seen the nikka he was quiet as a church mouse...shyt..the nikka who Cam was biggin up in that diss to Nas even shytted on them and told em to watch they mouth...there's a BIG difference in the goons Nas was rollin wit...BIG difference...that's all im sayin...im not sayin them nikkas aint EVER put in work.."aside from Juelz..I legit think that nikka soft"...but they was exaggerating...lol..

Even tho im from there, I must say. Harlem nikkas in general aint bout that action. There's more hustla, fashionista, pretty boy type cats than straight up thugs. We more the fukk ya bytch and style on you type of nikkas. Juelz Santana in fact is prolly the best representation of a true harlem cat in the game right now.

When i was 14 they had me thinking they were the wildest nikkas on the planet. Especially jimmy the capo lol but i still love their music. It might be true about true life punching jim and him crying smh. I just dont understand how these dudes can take l's like that AND THEN GO ON CAMERA N BE LIKE

"Nobody....punched me in the fukking eye ....WHEN I SEE YALL nikkaS ITS A WRAP!!"

I really dont understand it.

 

[Rekkapryde]

Yeah no doubt because that nikka Phife was known to shoot nikkas in broad day.

Phife wasn't a gangsta rapper. :lookherebruh:

[ROFL_GUY]

50 gie tyson the beats


look how much bigger he is then them

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

Not even accounting for the rappers that didn't even bother putting up the pretense of a being a tough guy...we got dudes like Dr. Dre and Bizzy Bone parading around as stone cold killers back then...

Street dudes from that era always said "rappers were corny, soft and trying to be like us but we didn't respect them"...that 90% legit tough guy stuff is comedy

bizzy bone is a real street nicca.

f**k is you talking about?
