at least that's when I remember hearing about them. They weren't that big or organized I don't think (at least compared to LA or Chicago gangs), just a local NY thing with a bunch of rowdy young Brooklyn cats wildin out. Ruck and Rock from Heltah Skeltah were Decepticons.

It's only natural, actual facts are thrown at you
The impact'll blow trees back and crack statues
Million dollar rap crews fold, check the sick shit
Explicit, I crystalize the rhyme so you can sniff it
