it's amazing he said "racial tension is at an all time high"…………in 2021 I wonder what he thinks NOW!!!! LOL…….
blacks and whites have been at each others neck for ages and ages……its perpetual as the scriptures says…………wow….when will it stop……NEVER…….well at least until the world thrones are cast DOWN!!!!
thESE niggas is so stupid lol, who the fuck did these niggas from the 80's and 90's think they was rapping for?! these niggas think they got these labels and it was all their own, but don't understand who the fuck own the labels and the whole fucking industry in general, atleast niggas from motown and back when knew they was singing but they didn't own the labels they was just singing, but for some reason when the 80s hit the rappers thought all of a sudden they owned shit lol naw, the music biz, and movie biz and WHATEVER BIZ, EVEN THE SLANGING GAME ON THE BLOCKS, IS RUN BY THE ESTABLISHMENT
I got wild love for LL, but behind closed doors, or even in public, I couldn't front on MOE DEE either. Not only does he has grid iron bars, but projects a lot of intelligence, too!! Listen to how articulate he is……MAN!!
And WELL'WELL again I'm just saying thank you so much for this evening powerful "CLASSIC DOCUMENTARY" I'm just saying "REAL TALK/TRUTH BE TOLD" and "FOOD FOR THOUGHT". "BLACK FIRST"
Moe dee the lyrical lord but his beats was always booty. If he had doper beats, he would’ve beat cool j. Too bad, so sad. He can’t be denied when it comes to his lyrical abilities though.
80% Of this is what Rap city rejected.
A heavenly time in hip hop ☺️
Nineteen-ninety does not feel like 30 plus years ago!
