i was watching the Tyga/Bhris Brown interview for Hot 97 and it left me wondering who opened up the floodgates for all this fake thugging by RnB Singers/Rappers like Bhris Brown, Agust Alsina type we have flooding the scene

Brehs have been thuggin in R&B from day 1.
You just never knew it because they were always on some classy shyt whenever you saw them.
The Dramatics would bust your ass and they was strapped at all times.
James Brown shot up a club and got away with it. He was already famous at the time.
Certain Temptations had bytches on the stroll.
It was well known that you didn't try Barry White at all, even after he quit bangin.
dikk Griffey of Solar Records was Suge Knight's mentor.
Let's not even get into jazz brehs.
These new nikkas are poseurs, they are nowhere near as official as the vets.

 

[FeverPitch2]

Yeah, Barry was stealing tires.

Ask nikkas in South Central about Barry.
