We lost that street swag once every NY rapper tried to sound like they are from Atlanta. It is crazy we had a good run from the 90s to the late 2000s. I put my hope on Dave East but we will see.True.

I was a youngin in the 90s but my cousins were teenagers. They used to baby sit me and my little brother. I remember them playing Bootcamp Clik, Wutang,Mobb Deep,CNN. shyt thanks to them I was exposed to those type of music. Man I spoke to a few of them a week ago and many of them felt they lost a friend. One cried for days. Prodigy touched people that grew up in that era.
