Perhaps it's time for Raq and K to move?
Do they know where Unique stays? Maybe they should go by his house for a driveby or 2? Maybe dump a body or sumn I dunno. Doesn't seem fair.

"I ain't never been good. I wasn't raised that way"
All the while this innocent smile, silver spooned nikka in a nice house was given a chance at a good life and wouldn't look out of place on the Cosby Show as one of Theo's friends. shyt would be more believable if he was like Kenard or Lil Ze raised somewhere like ENY or Brownsville. Can't relate to a nikka that got shyt given to them but 'chose' to be in that life. I can't see him even being believable as a thug later on.

its exactly why he liked tariq, coulda been damn near anything else in his life, but chose to embrace the fukkery instead

I actually thought this was the best episode yet. I was entertained, at least 
At first I was going to say that they messed up the timeline.
That's from "Juice", which came out in 1992. But, wikipedia says the soundtrack came out on New Year's Eve 1991, and there has been snow on the ground in some scenes, so they might juuuuust make it as far as avoiding an anachronism if we've reached January 1992 in the show's timeline.
Honestly, I thought it was a weak attempt to make a reference to "The Wire".
I hope you ain’t talking about uptown anthem, if you don’t know that

I noticed that from the trailers before the first episode aired.

Yeah, Famous is definitely Ja.
Rapping about a life he wasn't living.
Ol' "Streets Need a Body" face ass boy
Also I don't think it really fit the time and place the show is supposed to be in.
Seemed to be more of a late 90's thing.
Why wouldn't it fit? Ja's in his mid 40's now. He would've been a teen in '91.
Also, Famous is a parody of Ja Rule. He isn't really Jeff Adkins.

I'm not a music historian, but I don't think that hyper REAL "gangster" lyrics would have been as common in NY until after the influence of the movie "Deep Cover". I remember feeling that that movie changed something in music around the country.
Before then, I think most NY songs about crime were stories that had kind of a "moral".
E.g. this episode played music from the movie "Juice". If you listen to the theme from Juice, you notice that the "character" that the song is about DIES at the end. You're not supposed to believe that Rakim was being autobiograpical.
What does any of that have to do with the character of Famous being a parody of Ja Rule?

What I meant was, this show is in 1991/1992, so lyrics in NY wouldn't sound like that until a few years later.
