feel like the 90's was the tipping point , more aggressive advertising paved the way and got more poor people to lift their wallets and pockets to the rich fucks
I had a great childhood and my family was good financially, i'll never understand what some go through but i really like this song and rocked this music when i was growing up. 20 years later i can recite the whole song.
Of all the lyrics to all the rap songs I've listened to at the time, the last four lines are the most true and most haunting. "If you ain't never been to the ghetto, don't ever come to the ghetto. Cause you wouldn't understand the ghetto. So, stay the fuck outta the ghetto."
This is what mainstream hip hop delivered. Nothing commerical or light-hearted, but some real shit. This is a powerful song right there.
@Kaybez....Take note of the end of the Song...."if you ain't never been to the ghetto, Don't ever come to the Ghetto, because you wouldn't understand the Ghetto,So stay the fuck outta the Ghetto!"
It was like this song and "Victim of the ghetto", "Minute to pray and a second to die", "I could just kill a man", were anthems back then like rolling the story of ur life as it played out all around you. They dont make em like these anymore. The rappers now do that stupid slow whyne sounding like Tom Petty rappn. LOL!! To me rap has gone corporate, one hit wonders no more careers. There is NO more hip hop, its pure Pop Hop.....
This was the shit !! Being the only Mexican family in Inkster MI (Tha Crooked I) 1983-1994, you woulda had to be there to kno. It was no fkn picnic. Had to Fight my way to the top to keep from being on the bottom of a pile of 15-20 people stompn your head in, for any reason at anytime....
@kabeyz I dont kno if you would call it out rite racism, I got harrased by blacks and whites. With no other Latino's to back me I was all alone to fight back by myself. It was ok for them to call me "beaner, taco, burrito boy, dirty mexican" things like that, I never said much back I was known for busting the fkn teeth out of the biggest mouths back then. After a few bloody incodents, I didnt hear much "bean boy" any more out of either one...
@aperson1208 man who the hell told you to open your uggly mouth?
damn man!!you suckers hiding behind a computer need to chill out fo real,i just posted a comment without looking for trouble with nobody and you come at me like that,man let me say what i have to say again:THE STRUGGLE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE!!now what?get out here u stupid!!!
i'm the white-est white boy who has never been to the ghetto, so i'll stay the fuck out of the ghetto (but i'll still rock this fucking song that i've loved for years)
back when rap was just about beat, lyrics and flow. Now its hype..you dont even need to be a good rapper if you get on enough tracks, do something stupid in public you're a star!
I was only born in 1991 but I know those were the Golden Years. Long Live real hip-hop
I remember playing this song ova & ova... One sad Easter. First raw song I felt, & played until I got every word. hated those "happy" people then~ and still do...
one day some white kid bought this album, litsened to it and was influenced by the rap style. he started writing his own raps and bought a dictionary to read.that white kid was eminem
A real nice song. The problem is if you have a problem with another man then fight like a man with your hands. To pull a gun is pure cowardice. It is a real shame.
now you want me to rap and give ? and say something positive , well positive aint where i live !!! - - one of the hardest . + i never knew my dad so fuck the fag !!
Every hood is the same...I feel this song...Its a classic...Its real this song..Reminds me of the days of way back...Hustling on the street of Cabramatta,Sydney repping da notorious MtPcrew...
91....i haven't heard it since the 90's and I still remember every fukin word and the shit made me tear just like it did then, y'all don't understand!!! Project life is fucked up, everybody tryin to gett out dat shit and the system keeps us there but like Pac said Yahawahshi is gonna get us outta there
