[@angelyka04]

Everybody know those words by heart. It's that engrave into out hearts. I grew up on this dude. That freestyle is played weekly down here.

[@box5bastard277]

Z-RO vs the world

[@jamesw.s.7748]

+impossible Trae and Trey-D are 2 different people

[@Bfixico]

+impossible yeah trey d is different than trae, they all made up guerilla maab...and yes RISE is a great album...they were all on that first ABN album too which bangs from start to finish

[@jamesw.s.7748]

+impossible No.... The Distribution Company made a couple mistakes on that album. Trae Tha Truth is in the song "I Found Me". They made a mistake on his name in the credits. Listen to the song "In My Prime" off the same album, which also credits Trey-D. Trey-D is in the 2nd verse, from 1:20-2:00. He was a rapper signed to Straight Profit Records. 2 Different People...

[@radaprince]

Much Love to the loved one Z-Ro, hope he shines brighter with every step.

[@tytate2575]

I been on z-ro since 2004 and 12yrs later he still real af

[@Showtime409]

I wish him and Trae would end their beef. They could takeover if they did.

[@Hugo-tf6no]

Same, they need to squash that shit and make some bangers.

[@jameskincaid2955]

its hard when one person is keepin it 100 n about the state n the other (trae) is fukn with womenmen

[@Hugo-tf6no]

James Kincaid Reason why Trae even signed with Tip is cause his music had been banned from 97.9. People still listen to the radio so even if he was doing pretty big things, he still wasn't getting that exposure. Still got respect for him because he still helps the city out often, still has his own day which he uses to throw a free concert and give supplies, food, and vaccination to those who aren't fortunate.

[@mayneeholup]

+James Kincaid trae keeping it 100 as well..

[@Showtime409]

Hell yea man and his new mixtape he brought back the bold trae

z ro is the shit number one fav rapper hands down u feel the realness in all his songs love all his shit

[@alvinsneed22]

my man!!!! h-town

[@IAMGulfKoastGangsta]

I have to keep it real. I've always loved Ro. Grew up on him. He got me through alot. I've heard alot of bad things about him coming up. Never knew if they were true or not but I've heard so many stories I let it alter my thinking to a degree. Still never knew for sure. Seen him at a tire shop on the S.W. one day with my used to be brother. We walk in and my so called brother said some shit that even made me feel this nigga tripped out but trying to be a friend since the nigga always said I never had his back I rode with him. Let him manipulate my mind into thinking Ro was in the wrong but deep down when I actually thought about it I knew who was in the wrong. Certain shit you just don't do. Now I don't know the reason why he said it but he did. I felt that shit too. Told my self wtf, this nigga trippin. Now I feel bad for judging the situation wrong and having a bad perception on dude. This interview showed me a whole other side of Ro and I fucks with it. I said some things after the whole incident that I wish I could take back because Lord knows it aint me. Another thing because I know something. We didn't mention nothing bout jumpin because I don't get down like that. If you don't touch me I'm not going to touch you. But I love this interview. Respect.

[@IAMGulfKoastGangsta]

Shid. I already knew but I was naive. Wish I would've distanced myself a whole lot sooner.

[@MrBigmoney81]

met him at the barbershop in mocity he shook everybody's hand and was respectful. I heard he was an asshole but he was cool everytime I seen him

[@IAMGulfKoastGangsta]

Yeah he was sittin down on his phone when we walked in. I wasn't going to bother him them. We just looked at each other and him and dude I was with exchanged words. I was just chillen.

[@IAMGulfKoastGangsta]

Wasn't going to bother him though.

[@XxLyriKzxX]

me to help me please no help all that helped me through alot of bad times

[@screwed4life_4thward]

I just love this man and his music till the death of me. One of my top 3 favorites of all time!
