    Do black people from California tend Spanish fluently or at least decently?

    It seems like most of the West Coast rappers add a few Spanish words in their songs or even full out entire verses in Spanish.

    Was Atlanta influenced by the West Coast in the early 1990's

    I am asking because I was looking at two music videos, one from Kris Kross and one from Xscape.The clothes they're wearing in the music videos, cars, etc it seems like in the early 90's a lot of the West coast style was popular in Atlanta.

    Ice Cream Man is a classic album but I feel like The Ghettos Tryin To Kill Me! was a better album (Even though it wasn't on the original it's still one of the albums best songs)

    You ever think that basically Mobb Deep and Dogg Pound are two sides of the same spectrum. each of their music genre is more popular in their respective areas and are heavily in the sound of those areas.

    So Big Tray Deee Released An Album Last Month....

    Just from listening to a handful of tracks, there's a couple bangers on here, and a good amount of that throwback West Coast sound on here. Pretty refreshing.

    Suge Knight gets checked by Kevin Powell on BET!!

    Suge was walking over everybody but Powell in this interview....I've never seen Suge get checked like this before on TV, esp back in his prime days....Powell told Suge "Ain't nobody scared of you" LMAO You can even see in Suge's face that he had to respect Powell's "gangsta", and let Powell cook.
