I have a simple question for you … if today was your last day on earth .. I’m not even going to finish it because I know this is for someone …. Are you sure ? And are you sure .. that you’re sure ?
First of all the “LA Sound” by mustard is technically a Bay Area (Northern California) sound. The hyphy movement created that sound and it’s been around since about 2002 or 2003.
Second the west coast sound did go worldwide. First in the 90’s with G-funk. Then in the early 2000’s with Dr. Dre’s 2001 album and Eminem’s Slim Shady LP with My Name Is and Guilty Conscience.
Then came 50 Cent with Get Rich or Die Trying. 50 Cent’s In The Club, 21 Questions, Heat, and Back Down were a west coast beats. One of the biggest critiques of 50 during that time is that he rapped over a lot of west coast production. That’s why when Jada dissed 50 he said, “I can’t really figure this clown out. Where is from? Jamaica queens, CALI, or down south?”
Many producers borrowed those heavy drums and that Dre-like production in the early 2000’s. I can name many east coast, Midwest, and southern records/artists that featured a west coast sound from Eminem, 50 Cent, Fabolous, to Scarface, Master P, and TI.
Kendrick is popularizing the current west coast sound, fasho. But we can’t also act like Drake’s sound or how he makes songs was the only thing being copied in the last 10 years when mustard’s influence was there the whole time even when trap music ruled the radio.
So both Ray and Hitmaka make good points but are off on other points.
A group of Neo Nazis tried to have a march in Cincinnati, and the Foundational Black American community pulled up in droves and ran them off the block. The white supremacists had their flags taken and burned. And the community found their vehicles and smashed them up. #FBABusiness
If your excuse for not reading the Bible or even trying to get to know God is there’s “missing” books of the Bible. Ok, how about you read the ones that aren’t missing because there’s just as much revelation in those that’ll carry you thru this life than worrying about Enoch. 😂
We are living in times where it’s becoming more evident of the posture of the hearts of people.. everything that we ever thought was a lie .. was in fact a lie .. and the things we found to be true .. were also , you guessed it , lies. Yet, people still side with these things.
Sometimes it’s super simple. Even if you are the type to create scenarios to validate how you feel .. if you need your feelings extra hurt to remove yourself from confusion , by all means, do it! Better to be without them them in a constant battle within holding on to them! 💯🫡
The unfortunate reality is .. folks are showing you to their face who they are without you creating a scenario to validate what’s already been shown to you .. the feeling itself is enough.
