No disrespect, y'all really don't know about the crack
epidemic, how sad and bad shit was, and all the loss and
pain

And that's good. Stay with your selfies and all that,
its a testament to what real African Americans went
through...love is love


It not only built the music but it crafted a lot of shit
about society, these interviews really take you into the
Zeigeist of the times

(LOL @ a nigga like Chief Keef...nigga would last 40
seconds in the hood in the 80s...he can get away
with that shit in this era)


>only thing i knew about him was the my name is d nice song

>but assuming u already knew all that stuff (which most of yall
>did) what was interesting about that interview?

The details about how dude felt personally responsible
for Scott La Rocks' death? That death was pretty much the
most important moment in rap history pre Biggie/Tupac and more
tragic in a lot of ways since Scott was a regular peacemaking
dude...plus Scott was about to take over everything, had the
good heart and charisma

I was in the Bronx around that time as a little boy and
didn't know all these details...definitely didn't know how
KRS blamed D-Nice for the shit

And all the reconciliation and healing

That's grown man shit, a lot of y'all too little to even
know what death means
