Agree it's better than stuff like Chronic because of the various subject matters along with the emotion and delivery that only Ice Cube could evoke during that time period.

I’m from Atl and the Miami Boys hit the Atl hard in the late 80’s when crack hit. So every time I hear this song it takes me back to that.

Ice cube had the best start of any hip-hop career the first four albums were top-notch debatably not a Skip song on any of the albums ! 🎤 🎤🎤🎤

That same truck he's talking about used to come through Columbia,Sc back in the 80s. It was said to be for Mosquitoes. But it did only go through the black communities and projects.

I definitely remember those trucks that used to come and spray in the hood in STL back in the day.. mostly in the summer time.. they said it was to kill off the mosquitoes.. crazy part is I haven't seen one of those trucks in years, but it all makes sense now.. damn!!

[@RonaldLJones-xd3tt]

I spoke with Sir Jinx on Instagram last year and he told me some of their security team got into it with some guys from St.Louis because they were bringing drugs with them on tour. They got into it really bad with some locals and shared these stories on the tour bus and Ice Cube made a song from that.

[@RonaldLJones-xd3tt]

I was in high-school from 88-91. I first hearing about the Crips & Bloods in St.Louis around '87. The sets that was making noise back then for the Bloods were the Inglewood Familes, Crenshaw Mafia Gangsters, Pirus and 62 Brims. For the Crips it's was the Hoovers, Rollin 60's, East Coast Crips and Kitchen Crips. About time I hit high-school in St.Louis in 88...it was on an poppin...

[@timeTravellin]

I first touched down in St Louis in the summer of 82 visiting family for my summer vacation. I wasn't off the porch yet, so when I got there I saw all these dudes with blue rags, loc's and Pendletons. Coming from the Chi I knew they was banging but I didn't know what a crip was back then. Them dudes had the game room on lock cuzzo was like, nah we can't hang out in here bruh. 😂😂

[@Mr.Majestic77]

In the South, local gangs and the BGD organization hit areas in the South (Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, etc) way before Crips and Bloods. In the South in the 1990s the sports hat that represented the organization was the Georgetown Hoyas hat (tilted to the right), as in H.O.Y.A.

My dude Ali met him twice back at the house. Once in U City and the other time in NW Place. One time for the house #314. There is a difference between St Louis City and St Louis County. St Louis City has 280,000 now. St Louis County has almost 2 million people. STL used to be the fourth largest city in the US at one point. When I was growing it was about 400K plus people in the city alone.

[@debofiveklub7804]

St Louis' metro population is now coming from St Charles, Jefferson, Franklin counties and the Metro East. If they didnt include those areas, St Louis would be much further down the population list.

That’s not true Shorty never sold dope out of town A DAY in his life.
