the rap game is the thug life, it's the same thing

Gonna have to hard disagree on that.

I will defer to your expertise on the American gangster rap scene then

but I'm from the 6ix, where there is no distinction between rapper & gangster,

we got gangster rappers shooting it out in the streets here, you ain't even a rapper here, lest you is a gangster

It's too bad, since he was way better at the rap game than the thug life.

Coulda been on the view with Puffy instead having his hologram make money for someone else.

Hanarchy is hired.

Pop Culture critic.

Gangster was never my favorite rap...

de gustibus non disputandum and whatnot.

Who else thinks they can make the starting line up?

We can't really have more than four of us on any episode... or it will get too confusing.

Its basically radio.

Although we will have a You Tube audience.

PS: We are all dorks.

But Warrior Dorks... so that's what matters.

No Karens.... except Marty... cause he's rich.

But Marty has his own podcast... he doesn't need us.

We need him to keep this forum running... here is where we brainstorm and debrief.

This will be the new Beyond Woke forum.... DCF reboot... Woke proof.

Oh, buddy - I love the sound of my own voice too much. Podcasting would be too dangerous, like an addict getting that spike.

I can't help getting with the gangster rap where I'm from

it's all going down in my hood, nostalgia for the 6ix of my youth

Soutside to the Northside, Regent Park, awhoolay

I'm not trying to yuck anybodies yums - there is a reason gangster rap turned some the best into upstanding tax-payers, its got merit, people want it, and they'll pay for it.

But, the rap game is broader and deeper than just gangster rap, that's all I meant.

Also, thoughts and prayers for DMX, who is struggling after a heart attack.

Got blood on hands, got no remorse
Got blood on my dick 'cause I fucked a corpse

I'm just into the music from where I grew up, that's all meant

these are my streets, this is home to me, I feel nostalgia for it

when I got to the 6ix, I'm not a tourist, this is where I got to hang out

355 Gerrard, that was my bus stop in high school

Alexandra Park, in Chinatown, south of Kensington Market

this was enemy gang territory, it was Poject Originalz back then, it became Menace Gang

I've never set foot in this hood, if you were from Regent Park, that could get you killed

Northside Jane & Finch Driftwood Crips

the Woods

this is the roughest hood up here, and the most dangerous gang
