Can’t lie that shyt hurt my soul
I was a Bootcamp stan back then. They were right up there with Wu Tang. And I remember a Source article where they were saying they didn’t wanna be pigeonholed by dusty samples and shyt. But Da Beatminers were the main appeal of the Bootcamp to me. Yea they were nice on the mic but that production was a whole vibe and didn’t sound like anything else
Buck Em Down remix was my shyt. I heard it on the old head station once a couple years ago in the middle of a Saturday afternoon
That was a weird time in hip hop all around. They say deaths happen in threes. First it was Pac then Big than the Bootcamp
Starang was mad underrated. He was still killing verses on Monkey Bars and Total EclipseI agree with that, they were right on the cusp imo. They got on that bullshyt/inner conflict right when they reached the heights. Facts on Starang
They could not think of anything better than that?
This is the original version of the song
And on that album, he was straight clowning the West Coast.
For example, This whole Murder, Murder, Murder and Kill Kill Kill
It's Ace making fun of the 1993 West Coast... (More likely 91 and 92 NWA, given how long it took to put stuff out back then)
You can listen to the whole thing if you want (I'm not doing that ever again)
And that's how Jeep Azz Niguh got changed to Born to Roll.
The fact that it became a hit, the biggest hit of his career, when he was trying to hate? HILARIOUS.
The way he talks about it now, it was all part of the plan, and he had love for the West Coast.
In 1993 we knew what time it was.
Main Source's - Stop Faking the Funk
Jeru's - Come Clean
All that "Keep It Real" stuff that was popular at the time.
Was the East coast responding to East Coast rappers that switched up, West Coast Gangstas, (and hip hop turning pop), and eventually G-Funk.
But the boom bap/jazz breaks and clever lyrics era ENDED.
That's how you end up with those bad remixes, ill conceived collabs, and money grabs. Like Skew it on the Bar B by 'Kast featuring Raekwon.
East Coast domination ended. You can hear it most with Biggie. His "street stuff" was for NYC. But his radio stuff was for everyone.
Now NY had to compete with ATL, New Orleans, Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles... Still had some good music and hits, but ASAP Rocky comes out talking about growing up on UGK
50 Cent was one of the early adopters, but he was prolly one of the last legit super stars from NY.
It is what it is.
Word I feel you....once hip hop got into the "I got a joint for everybody" phase, shyt went bad quickly. People lost their identities chasing the dollar and hip hop lost what made it unique.
More on topic, I'm still mad I listened to that bullshyt For the People album.

Can't agree with this. Louisville got his life a few times on Da Storm. M-Pire Shrikes Back was the Starang and Hennyville Show. I get the impression they were much closer with each other than Top Dog. The chemistry was crazy.I think OGC's Empire Strikes Back is better than Da Storm. Joint had some bangers, the posse cuts hit and Ville and Top Dog were VASTLY improved as emcees/lyricist. Those fellas were damn near Group Home status on Da Storm, Starang carried that shyt.

Can only image how bad people would have wilded on them if the internet was like it is now and you could reach these cats so easily.
So this is could be the real reason he was mad at Will Smith if this is true
