so i was right in the thick of the demographic that was allegedly jumping that shit off.

and i didn't know a single person who ever set tripped on some East/West shit. not a real person living real life.

i heard that rappers had beef and some of their crews had beef. but no one in my world back then (or the kids i tutored b/c i used to tutor after school back then) was involved in that East/West shit. except for buying CDs and tickets to shows, of course.

so it wasn't 'too real' in my world.
