I'm a single Mum, sitting next to my sleeping lil man, awake at 1am-knowing damn well I have to be at work in the morning- cause I'm strugglin and do no matter how hard I work. I look at lil man and I want to give him what he actually deserves, and it fucks with me hard. And you guys got me over here crying. If my son can feel like that some day, I will be so proud. I stay feeling guilty bc he is the world, and he deserves so much I can't give him. You guys that love and respect youe moms like that, and have an appreciation for how fucking hard this shit is-you the real men. And there aren't enough of you!

[@jaydurant3048]

My mother passed away when I was 24. I was renting a hole in the wall and constantly went from cheque to cheque to cheque and even lived in the back of my car. Many years later Im now a major junior hockey scout (one of the first African Canadian souts) that gets to travel (pre covid) and make a good living watching the NHL stars of tomorrow. I'm very grateful to have 5 healthy kids, our families wealth and as of next year ill be an expected grandpa(became one on February 10th 2021). I miss my mother dearly, and what bugs me the most is she never got to see me flourish with wealth or children. Humble and grateful for what I have but damn I'd just about do anything in the world to have her back. She's still in my mind and heart like if I saw her yesterday. Enjoy your mother's, and respect them. Everyone. Moms are amazing and all these years later I'd still give my arm and leg to have her back in my life again. 🙏🙏

Vol 3 had Big Pimpin, Do it again, Is that ur chick, which was also on bleeks album, come and get me , so ghetto, the track with Juvenile snoopy song, S. CARTER, the Maria joint,and many more. I liked ot over vol 2. That was the debate. Both were fire . Vol 2 had knock life, Can I get a, Jigga what jigga who, and many more.

[@timothy8142]

The kids will never know about the melodies, hooks, and poetry that made hip hop in the 90's to 2000's. I see it for myself. It's all tattoos, strippers, and big asses. What appeals to the eye, doesn't always appeal to the mind. Most of these rappers today are forgotten after a couple years. Tell a story. Be a story teller and you will be remembered forever.

[@theraphaeux]

We always had good rappers around, but ppl don’t support em, they aren’t mainstream, check ODDISEE - You grew up, you’ll understand what I’m saying. The most part of the kids are into the mainstream, it’s the sad part... Years ago ppl had to find for the good music, now the social media and internet shows the music and ppl don’t even try in the most part of the time to try a non mainstream guy.

late 90s early 00s best hip hop era

[@Ghaldisha7483]

“Just remember to turn the lights off in the hall My brother from another pop” That line feels like I’m 6 again living with my grandma. It feels so comforting def reminds me of the childhood thanks Z

And how much of that is he putting back into his community? No one human being needs all of that money.

[@mahmoudhamed4614]

@@BLTKellys I think he's giving back what he thinks he should. Plus it's his money you know, if you had a billion dollars would you give them all to your community? Would you give 900? I doubt it, and I wouldn't.
