The great meshing of an abundant of different artists coming together to deliver the same message was dynamite🔥🔥🔥🔥

One of my all time faves, the talent in music was experiencing another peak around this time.

The prophecy of this lyric has been fulfilled 🙏🏽😪

My first album gifted to me by my step father in the late 80’s. It’s a track that gives enlightenment for the human race!

This aged very well!!! Nothing has changed the murders are on video now, but we nit pick those that stand up !!!!!!!!!

R.I.P.Miss Melody!!!

2021 Same sad game. 🙏🏾

Hip-hop ain't like it used to be. Nothin' but pure unconcentrated-BULLSHIT.

It not about who's better rapper it's about who got the better message. This East Coast Vs. WEST Coast mentality need to cease. Support what you like and try to change what negative with a postive. Big ups to this record and that movement all over the rap reaching World.

We can’t move forward without God because we still don’t know each other like we should. But We family because we can’t pick our family, only our friends 🙏❤️🙏
