I don’t have that many years on you, lol.
I'm just from NYC. So this is what it's been forever. A lot of the greats still spend time where they're from. But the respect and love is there. These teenage dudes, they're the ones who have all these issues because they're dumb. The older MC's move differently, so they're not worried about going back to their hoods. That only became a thing when these new n*ggas started fighting over crumbs and acting jealous over whoever made it out. It's a different time and they're all gunning for each other now.
Back in the day, your block would lift you up on their shoulders and boost your whole sh*t. They lost that today.
You think it had something 2 do with back in the day a lot of the legit rappers weren't actually active like that?
