Remble - Is West Coast Rap Back?

[DBTrek]

he has a long rap sheet, including six years in the pen for a violent home invasion robbery

here he is again, this time solo

"How you get bodied with your own strap?"
Whoo!
That shit cold.

Right up there with "You spent a band on a burner and died with it"

(I know I posted it before, but gotta put Remble's hit in his thread)

that's not just a dis track

he is calling out every rival gang in the city with that track

here's another, Wass Gang from Northside Jane & Finch

three of these guys are dead already, either by assassination, or shootout at the AirBnB

more Rolexx Homi, more callouts

Information War

so it's not a case like Takeshi69 where it's a rapper hanging out with a gang

these are gangsters who rap, and they're not just in the gang, they are the gang leaders

it's not so much about the quality of the tracks, they ain't talented like Dre perhaps

but they ain't playing, this is live fire, this is not dis tracks, this is gang war

life imitating art

don't forget that Canada is rather soft on crime

so this facilitates a more brazen criminal element

most of these guys would be doing so much time in America, you'd never hear from them again

but in Canada they are going to get two, four, maybe six years

so they aren't as deterred about operating in plain sight out in the open

take Roney for example, convicted of kidnapping

but he only did four years for that, so now he's back with a new album

in Toronto, a gang assassin is called a Magician : they make people disappear

so here's Bvlly rapping about that

Bvlly is dead of course, assassinated by a rival gang's Magician

50 Cent is what happens when you get rich
Pop Smoke is what happens when you die trying

Tweedy beefing with Easy

also 94'



hard to believe 1994 is the distant past

I remember when it was going to be the science fiction future
