[@WreckingCrewResurgen]

he was the shit, but I don't he could stay out of jail for stupid shit long enough to ever make a quality follow up album.

[@judygirl3102]

I believe his down fall was due his sueing the Movie peeps. His Lawyer told him to wait and see if the Movie was a hit. If it had been, people would crawl out of the woodwork and sue...THEN, he may have a case without raising a scene. He was too new and he is real good...but, he should'a taken the lawyer's advice....because he aggravated a lot of people at the top....unfortunately that's how it works....

This rap song is in the top 10 with the "realist" lyrics in a song in the last 30 years. He represented himself and his community proper and did not disappoint, while even showing love to the old-old school in the process. Very underrated song in my opinion.

I hate that raps like this don't blow up, nor people that have lyrical talent use it for good, like this example above. Good people are rare though so I mean I guess, realistically speaking that isn't much expected in the first place which is why we have people rapping a bunch of nothing or toxic shit. Crazy. I don't have the gift to rhyme I'm an MMA fighter but if I had that ability id be using it to truly change the world rather than just simply relating to my fans problems. I've always thought like that. I'm 24 and it's my first time hearing anything like this this is amazing.
