regardless if nikkas like it or not,street shyt will always and forever be a part of the appeal to this rap shyt,which is why GBE is still around..they got that non industry rawness/edge that get peoples attention..nikkas talkin bout only cacs like this shyt but who da fukk you think was the main reason why groups like NWA blew up? the D.O.C even talked about how it use to be hella cacs at their shows back in the day..you see eminem even told ya'll to study tapes of NWA,lol..only cacs would actually study such a thing, brehs
remember pac started getting a lot more attention when he kept getting in trouble with the law,snoop blew up even more becuz of that murder case,50 Getting shot up,etc.
nas 1st album is named after his friend that died over street shyt,jay to this day still rap about cocaine,DMX blew up off that grimy ass rawness he came with ..nikkas was hatin when no limit blew up too, but that shyt was street music to the core & the hood loved that shyt..all your favorite rappers has some connection,or wants a connection to street shyt...of course old heads gone say "but the music was better back then" and that may be true,but that goes for every genre of music

, so its pointless to even mention that..just because yo old ass dont like it doesnt change shyt
