What makes you think that EVERYONE has "zero emphathy" in this new generation?
We were the same. We just didn't have youtube / facebook / twitter to tell on us.
You generalize too much.
Troll.
wait wait wait. stop it. stop doing that. where you say "it aint all of us" No one said it was 100% of yall. stop using this argument to get out of answer the questions put in front of you.
its TO many of yall dont you get it.
let me explain this to you again. there were fewer THUGS then there were regular dudes. back in the 90's. it only takes one shooter per every 4 blocks to call a neighborhood a HOOD. how many nuccas do you think was realling poppin off back in the day? it was that one fool. "crazy larry is a fool, that fool dont care, he will blast on a nucca quick"
half the nuccas with guns were not bustin they guns on most occasions. but the ones that were. were killing people. thats a fact. and we called them clowns and little girls for not manning up to fist fight and running to the trunk asap when a disagreement breaks out. or when they lose that fist fight that they probably started. we never CONDONE THUG LIFE. the late 80's baby's DID. yall ran after what yall thought pac was saying and yall saw that tat and now yall are all tatted up "THUGGG LIFFEEEEE"
not understanding that fool pac was struggling right along with everyone else that wasnt a rich rapper. mentally struggling with his own demons. see the old heads, KNEW PAC for real. we knew that dude had issues. that wasnt news to us. cause we knew dudes just like him that lived next door.
the reason we were shooting each other up was cause of the drugs and guns being dropped off in our community. where did they come from? we dont have a bunch of gunstores in los angeles. our Sporting good stores half the time dont sell guns like that. they cant. so where are these dudes getting straps from? they were leaving train doors open, leaving trains on the tracks in the hoods knowing the doors were open. knowing poor people would run and open it up and flood the streets with that stuff. in addition to people strategically putting drugs out here on the streets and some people selling arms to kids. and i'm not talking about local people. it was a setup. that we fail for because we were so broke. but that WE isnt a large amt of people in comparison to the rest of us. its like 20, 30% of us tops. the rest of us got caught up in police sweeps for being black, brown, etc. thats where the FIGHT THE POWER came in. thats where the Xclan came in. it was for the rest of us NON THugs(which was most dudes/people).
all that F... the police, talk came from that. CUBE, Dre, Ren, were all regular dudes from the hood. the only one doing dirt was easy e.
those dudes were telling hood stories. about what kind of madness we had to deal with in a place the white man created by not giving us equal oppurtunity. thats REAL gangsta rap.
like i told yall on Sohh. only the younger gen started talking that nonsense about how Jayz only talked about his riches or Illuminati this or that. the rest of us old heads knew from listening thru and thru. dude was talking about that Hard knock life we all had to deal with and dealt with different ways. Jayz wasnt glorifying most of the nonsense he said he did. he was explaining in first person. so when he was getting money of course he would be happy back then in first person. of course he would be hype on getting chicks he knew he didnt deserve if he was broke. of course he was laughing cause he just ditched the cops. in first person. then when you listened the dude was confessing his sins. talking about how paranoid he became. and how he wished he wouldnt have had that itch to get money which almost completely ruined his life and ruined others he grew up with.
dudes were telling stories trying to keep yall youngins from fallin into the same traps.
i will even go back to Tribe whats the Industry RULE? record company people are shady. yet you see youngins STILL running up for deals. and they getting killed with 360 deals left and right. as if it wasnt bad enough. yall got all this stuff yall could be doing for self without a middle man. yet yall still run up on the middle man. and dont be fooled. 80% of your favorite so called underground artists that are just now getting shine. are already signed to 360 deals. their labels are trying to fool you into believing they are a grass roots effort. pay attention.
thats the kind of stuff we're talking about. as DUMB as some of them nwa dudes were. if they were born in this era. Ruthless would've been independent and would be distributing their music 100% online, selling 100's of thousands of records without the help of a major. touring without the help of a major.
yall have options that yall wont even USE. thats what we cant understand. USE THE FORCE LUKE. good grief.
