[@powderedtoastfacekillah734]

It’s good to see live scratching. Joe killing it Kick that… *_Bass_*

[@DavidLopanjr]

This crowd should be bigger. It's RONDEY FN O AND JOE COOLEY!!!

[@m1chaelkels0]

That small but intimate crowd was lucky…they killed it! Their classic sound is so curated down and polished that it personifies “Less is More.”

[@Slugg0n]

I get the feeling that most of the people had no idea what they were witnessing. These guys can perform awesome still and they look awful healthy. Amazing to see this happened less than a year ago.

[@m1chaelkels0]

This performance is only 2 months old. They are sharing a larger set with Lowriders and artists like Mack-10. I hope they blow up in popularity and royalties now that Metro Boomin has sampled them (bastardized as it may be) kzbin.info/www/bejne/jae7q6iAiJ6HbsU

Man I hope the boys paid these guys well, that sample is crazy!!

[@raisondetra5652]

You don't pay up front. They will make a ton of money from the sample because the song was the number 1 for 3 weeks

[@BLACKSTA361]

​@@raisondetra5652does 36 mafia make money as well or nah?

[@CaughtInp]

@@raisondetra5652that’s good to hear then 🙏🏽

@@BLACKSTA361 Only if they sampled the 3-6 and Mafia version. If so, then all parties involved will receive percentage splits.

Love and respect these WEST COAST LEGENDS if yall forgot these the original OGs who started beef with the East Coast with they album call F__K New York by calling out the radios stations and djs for not playing west coast artist but we always show them love and also calling LL and a coupke others out

[@cleartvstreams1744]

Listen to his lyrics. He's not talking about oppss, killing, robbing, etc. He's just having fun with it. This song is still popular 25 years later. These new rappers will be forgotten after 1-2 years. The music today is too demonic and meaningless. Rap music used to be fun, now it ain't fun no more.

[@EduardoPerez-qt2hd]

The first time I heard this song, I memorized all the lyrics. I believe it was 86 Pittsburgh, CA. The projects were called Pittsburgh Plaza, but I'm not sure if they are still around.
