Above the fray.
How you got Pac and MC Breed (RIP) almost from the same era

he had the big hit wayyy back in the 90s. Akon-type hit. Mata Ace mockingly mentioned him in a song

Born to Roll

Was actually surprised that the West Coast fukked with the song because of the line. WC latinos fukked with this sing HEAVY. Car show anthem.

Thanks, you're from the tri-state area?

Surprised you didn't bring up Xanadu/American Dream in this thread already. First thing I thought of. Others here have seen delayed/pumpfaked stadium deal stories in their states the last few years.
NYC, Harlem (from Queens then Tampa before)

Difference is NJ is not relying on that one mall/structure for its economy. I have commented on American Dream before

There were a lot of cringe singles like this one that sound like a border line parody in this era lol

I remember the original version of the song.
My dude from Arizona was raving about Ace. I said what? That song?
When Ace remixed the record, he became bigger out in that part of the country than he ever was out here.

I’m not surprised. There’s a very particular mindset those types have :mjpls:

I told y'all this was a scheme to wash money and, at best, chain a region in debt from borrowed international funds :francis:
Wish the people of Senegal could have gotten their hands on some of that money instead :francis:

and people ask why i wasn't mad that China built up parts of Africa even if they chained us to inflated debts. This is what nikkaz do when they get the bag... since the end of colonialism.

i hope i'm wrong but i've seen this play all my life.

I don't know.. maybe even before colonialism started


like that one thread in the root that poitier started years ago. The same behaviors we see today are the same behaviors that existed centuries ago.

IMMIGRANT TETHERS
I was never a huge fan of this project but projects like these usually take long to begin construction. I bet there is still mad paperwork to be done.
The Burj Khalifa in Dubai took like a decade to begin construction even after laying it's first brick. them heavy skill projects in Europe take long to beg construction even after all the paper works are completed.
