I'm sick of muthafuckas talkin shit about Frontline and them. They make good music, just cuz they aint gangstas doesn't mean they can't make music!! Its fucking music!! You dont' see this type of bullshit attitude in ANY other type of music.
And you don't see it in any other countries either. The US is a fucked up country. In other countries, gangstas handle their business in the street, men don't run around trying to act hard constantly, people know who's doing what and that's enough. A dude that will straight up cut open your throat if you cross him will wave and smile at strangers in his neighborhood--crazy shit for us to think about here!! They don't feel the need to pufff their chest out in the music.
Thats the problem, the gangsta IMAGE is killin rap music, especially in the Bay where that's all we make (damn near). Look at how no one gives a fuck about the conscious shit that comes out--AND YES, even (or ESPECIALLY) the middle class suburban squares that want to hear gangsta shit exclusively.
The bay area is THE most politically-inclined place in the USA but a lot of bay area hip hop is real superficial--including most of the shit I listen to myself--but at least I see what the fuck is going on and I try to stay up on conscious shit also. Most of what we talk about on this board is who sold what dope, who went to jail, whose life was tougher, who's from what hood, who's really gangsta. That shit is cool but that aint doin nuthin for nobody. And then some fools try to do some DIFFERENT shit musically and ignorant dummies jump on them.
Some of you on the siccness love to live out your gangsta dreams through the music you listen to. yall need to re-wind Dub 20's verse on JACKAs shit:
"my nigga, the closest you come to the streets
is when you hear a thug and come to the beat
sit at home, choke, get high
then ya throw me on, soak my lines
then ya fall in the zone, super dig the guy
transform into a clone, think you is the guy
you got it wrong, you dont really want to live like I
cuz its not really known if I'ma live or die"
THIS SHIT IS DIRECTED AT YOU!!!! HE'S TALKIN TO SOME OF YOU MUTHAFUCKAS -- WITH GOOD REASON
BUT ay its also REAL gangstas out there fucking up our music by doing shit like dissing Frontline just cuz they aint thuggin--being gangsta doesnt make you a musician, and being a musician SHOULDNT mean that you have be a G.
Let people live. Support people thats trying to make this shit better for all of us, not just kill their own people and take from the oppressed, then put down people who try to do something a little different.
Aiight thats all I got 2 say. Just struck a nerve there.
