I still like the Saga series. I already assumed all that shit could not be 100% accurate, too much in too short of a production. It at least still felt more real than any other rap dramatization. Rza, whether accurate or not, didn't seem to make himself look better. The ghost/chef shit was such a big part, basically the opener that sucked us in like "oh shit!" that I get where Raekwon is coming from. I ain't mad that the story got stretched either. I hope we get all kinds of high budget, accurate, different viewpoint, content like this. I think that show did well so if it took a stretching of truth to budget in the real shit, CREAM. Gotta pay for it somehow, plus that show was mad entertaining.

One of the best takes on the Kendrick vs. Drake battle. He summed it up well. As for the Bx, the boro was always on the low key side. Bx in the 80s was the war zone looking area, so folks didn't play around up there. 90s - 2000s it became more about money and fashion. Still has those rough patches to be careful in, but alot of great spots to check out too.
