son, try LIVING through that shyt. I broke out in hives 4 times back then from stress randomly. in my head, everyone wanted to kill me. blunt after blunt, beer after beer. i remember one time at the spot we had gone through a few fifths of easy jesus and smoked no joke like 22 phillies....i went to pee and my vision closed up. straight up went blind and sat on the bathroom floor for 20 minutes losing my mind, thinking i had to learn braille and shyt. the my sight came back the reverse way it closed.

that same night i saw a man flipped upside down so ferociously in a living room his sneaker scuffed the ceiling and left a mark. Jet beauty of the month's all on the walls as posters. my homies sister hanging condoms on the wall on some TLC shyt.

shyt was RAW back then.


spend your teens in a crackhouse and then try and come back to the world seamlessly. impossible.

he spoke on the cursing but that was only a piece of the bigger picture. And by acting hard and frontin, it stopped being all about the music. that awards show gave a glimpse of it. You can tell Dr Dre was all about the music and Puff was all about the music for example but the whole vibe was on some other shyt. And if you look at how rapped evolved from the mid/late 80's (85-91) to the early mid 90's you can see that the gansta/hood side of rap became the rule and not the exception. When NWA came out they were the only ones doing it, then you had the ghetto boys but they were not in the majority. by 1995 everyone was one some hardcore hood shyt.



And looking back on that awards show I kinda understood why Suge Knight was mad because it was basically a Bad Boy lovefest with Death Row coming in a close second. Overall it was obviously biased towards new york rappers and the crowd was biased so they felt some kind of way. Can't blame them.

I posted the winner's list, they clearly spread Love to everyone that night. Dre won video and producer of the year, Snoop won. Eazy E was honored. Wu Won. Ice Cube Won, Outkast Won. Even "Above The Rim" soundtrack won. So it wasn't just a Bad Boy love fest. Bad Boy had a huge year at that time and they came away with 5 awards as a label. The fact is at the end the day Hip Hop is from the streets and there is a violent aspect of street culture. Rappers aren't going to sugar coat that. Will was just upset that he couldn't find his lane during the mid 90's. He's running around trying to rap hard off that "Code Red" album and it flopped and Jazzy Jeff and him broke up.

Will is from the late 80's era. N.W.A. is also from that era. I agree with him that rap was about parting but not all rap was the same. It's easy to look at Big and Pac's deaths and blame the era but Hip Hop is not all roses, dances and block parties. There was a dark side too and that needed to be explored. He came back with "Men and Black" and "Big Willie Styles" blew. I never agreed with Em dissing him but Will was coming off way to elitist with that "Stop cussing". No you don't cuss that's good for you but not ever rapper needs to rap about PG experiences. Here is the video with Will trying to be hard:
