Just when i thought i was out they pull me back in i'm most def going to read this shyt at work tomorrow morning. And I might contribute some stories of my own I was on the national team for a country i shall not name for my protection.
I would tell my nikka that no matter what you do and no matter where you go, the ugliness of the world always finds you. That the contradictions within the human heart that make so many people do vile things don't make me lose faith, it sustains my faith in the complexity of the human condition. I would remind him that there are places where the trains come on time, and women who genuinely love their husbands, and sex that doesn't serve as punishment, degradation, racist fetishism. And I would ask him: was that ass fat, and were them titties big? Because I never did ask him that.
I used to be "Ivy League Negro" back on the old board. My facts are the same but I've toned down the shtick a bit as I've gotten older...
ah, man I am dying over here. there is something especially demonic/eerie about cmw. music to driveby is a classic though. *raises glass of bulleit*
Really enjoyable stories Walt. I find myself eagerly anticipating each episode now.
What's crazy is, most of the fellas in this story are old enough to be some of you nikkas daddies. This was around 91-94. The Fab Five years. TLC, Dr. Dre, and the true beginning of demonic hardcore rap. This is really great posting. Even if you named names. This guys have been long out of the league @Walt

damn, i thought his stories were from the early 2000s
Actually slightly after the time-frame you just referenced. The Chronic and Doggystyle weren't new during this time period, they'd both been out a while. But somewhat close. Several players I knew casually or well are still playing professionally in the NBA. As far as football... shyt, the career span is too short in that sport, so probably not.
I remember freshman year of college putting my white roommate who dressed liked Indian Jones and played clarinet in the school orchestra onto CMW.
Yo, I just flashed back to the first time I heard Eiht's We Come Strapped, which was in my homie Rome's truck. I'll never forget the sheer funkiness of Eiht screaming at the women doing his chorus "bytches, sing!" Then they come in like "don't fukk wit Eitht, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooooohooo"

not too far off, actually.
Also, different stories will be from different periods. Like the JUCO joint was mad years after I first went to college. And a couple of stories will be from when I was at another school. The next story is about people I knew from college, then re-encountered much later in life. So the times bounce around.
walt u ever get the urge to try to find these people in your stories in fb and see how their lives turned out? specifically the girl from the first story?

Word to God, I just googled shorty from the first story after reading your post. She has a really good job and lives in a new state.
