39. "who cares if those albums never blew up" In response to In response to 34
like seriously who gives a flying fuck. rap was never "suppose" to blow up and some aspects of it did, doesn't negate the way various folks who worked within the "genre" to explore musical, experiential and emotional boundaries
i wrote parallel and not in opposition, and you over hear trying to say gangster/backpack division.
the point is some of those other gangster rap records didn't blow up either and it adds to the mystique that the real west coast shit is the gangster shit
