Let's explore some Rap songs together...

South Central Cartel...boy how things have changed in Los Angeles since these days.

South Central Cartel were like Sound Garden, and Alice and Chains, and other groups were to Nirvana, but to NWA.

They were apart of that whole original West Coast 'gangsta' rap vibe that dominated from the late 80's to about the late 90's, about a decade or so.

Until rappers from other regions started creating, announcing, their own separate identities, like Southern rap (which probably influences more rappers today than any other style)(that kind of loose, no melody sound, where it sounds like guys are just screaming into mic) or 'Krunk' style, born in Louisiana.

But ye, this video is a throw back to 20 years ago when West Coast gangsta rappers kind of ruled and defined the landscape.

And it kind of has a smooth rhythm to it, back in the day rappers often mixed smooth rhythms with hard lyrics.

Not so much now...now days the beat is hard and the lyrics are hard, so you don't get that ironic balance anymore.

I haven't heard this song in about 4-5 years, heard it once long ago, and never heard it again, but it always stood out to me with that 'godfather' rhythm to it by P-diddy.

Kind of an old forgotten about classic to some.

Very rare...you never hear this song played anywhere anymore accept here in the Twylight Zone..

'We're all in the same gang'

I guess this was the West Coast rapping coalitions response or version of 'Self Destruction' which was made up mostly of East Coast rappers way back in the early days of rap.

I've never heard this song till 20 minutes ago...amazing how after all these years never even new this song existed, which show cases many fabulous rap stars from back in the day, like Easy E, Ice T, MC Hammer, Digital Underground and others who put the East Coast rap scene on the map.

Back when rap had more of a street grove soul sound to it.

Funny how now Ice T, stars in CSI TV show, and MC Hammer became a TV preacher.

Everyone grows and matures, I suppose that's a good thing.

This is why I have to keep 'The Zone' locked down folks, do to stupid meaningless posts like this.

Or 'spammers' I guess some would call them.

Instead of engaging in current topic theme, they'd rather drop some stupid post with some stupid link that makes sense to no one.

Now think about this...if they had a brain, and engaged 'me' or the zone, and got to know this place, then I'd possibly set them up with own section to promote a legitimate brand.

But that makes to much sense, so instead these spammer types would rather weasel in, drop some stupid post, which ends up getting deleted.

Talk about lack of brain power.

Now sadly, I must lock this section down as well.

If some people would spend less time 'plotting and scheming', and instead focus on simply being honest, and real, think how much more easier their path would be in life.
