Once u get signed somewhere, no matter if u got skills or not, u get a big ass chain, some expensive car and there goes your rap career with pre-made wack and retarded lyrics like "SWAG SWAG BIG BOOTY BITCH ON MY LAP" on some dumma boy beat production that sounds exactly the same like every previous Wiz Khalifa or Tyga song. I fucking hate everything about today hip POP, not to mention their gay clothes. I listen nothing but 80s and 90s hip hop and search for exactly this type of music! And nah, I didnt even grow up in this era. Cant believe my generation is dumb as fuck supporting all those wack and gay artists from today. And also cant believe that so many artists like Busta Rhymes who used to make DOPE and REAL hip hop really sold out....making music with Lil Wayne and shit...SMH ridiculous. FUCK BUSTA RHYMES

I’m glad in the comments that there are millennials that pay homage to the real hip-hop that We grew up on. Btw I never did understand why in the west coast and south west there is so much racism between Spanish and black from the hood to the prisons. I guess is that divide and conquer technique from the man. where I come from Puerto Rican and black go hand-in-hand. Two peas in the same pod pretty much. And to the younger people dude at the end with the fro singing is Lord sear he was a regular guest deejay on the stretch Armstrong and Bobbito show check that shit out. We were listening to that back iin the day with my cousin O every Thursday from 1 am to 5 am on wkcr. And weekends on hot 97. Miss them days this song is so nostalgic.

Aime Leon Dore is my favorite clothing brand at this point in time because of this, pieces be 🔥. The Bronx ❤ Uptown was shaking ?
