Ima living testament to that. My bro got a 25 to Life for a double homicide when he turned 16. He was my idol but that made me go a different path even though I was surrounded by notorious Sacramento gangs. Now Im living the good life he mentioned and many people I knew are living broke and destitute.

Gangster has always held multiple definitions for me. As well as rank. Mixed up with thuggin and all else. Lots of definitions come to mind. But, broken down, Gangster really shouldn't be used unless a person has a gang. "Gang-ster". Sometimes it has to be broken down for real. Like Short said, "just listen to the word"

Too short speaking the truth this is real life chess be smart. young cats learn from your history. Get into stem start a business online. You have a lot of opportunity with covid learn from others mistakes and become wise. Shout out to #tooshort #realone #thinkbeforeyouact 💻📝✌
Like Bob Marley said in one of his songs kill the seed before it grows. They knew we could be successful and rise above the challenges of what we as black people had faced in the past, so to keep our face in the mud and keep us from advancing they brought in the drugs that set off a chain reaction of confusion. They don't want to see us come together all they want us to do is keep on fussing and fighting. Blessup fellas i hope the youths out there listen to what ya'll said and think deep and hard.
Maybe it's because I grew up on his voice constantly blasting from every stereo in my town, but this man needs to do a documentary about it all with him doing voiceover.
I told my boys this when" trap became A THANG!!

"How long you gonna keep falling for it"? Bruh, it's a way of life now, which was part of the plan.
These brothers are opening up brother's eyes!!
BOOM! Local politics is where it's at. No wiser words have been spoken. Also right on these programs designed to keep us in the same spot. Great points.
Salute. Real ogs talking
I'm glad that OGs are delivering a good message to the youth. Lord knows the world needs this. Especially young African Americans. Don't let the image of fame trick you off the streets. Like short said be good at something. Put that time in and achieve that goal. Some people live that fabricated lifestyle. Go home at night stressed and can't sleep. Like willie d said , do what makes you sleep good at night.
TODD is the TRUTH Congrats To You And Your First Daughter!
Absolutely one of the most accurate & intelligent conversations I've heard in a long time, especially their opinions on the presidents, republican or democrat, etc! It's all the same thing that do shit for the "little" guy /girl. And we are all little guys /girls to those who truly run the world!

I do hope that we’re a few step ahead with this conversation, as I really would like to see a new community of blacks. All love! 💕😘

Aint nobody more Gangster than a Bank, they loan u your own money, charge u interest on it, and penalize you if you can't pay it back. That's GANGSTER
I am white and I listened to Too Short on cassette tape. I still had to fight to get to where I am. I was poor and never had much. I got in trouble from time to time and it was not easy for me and remember I am white. The cops still got me if I was into some bad shit. I joined the military and got away from the place I grew up to get away from all the BS. Life is what you make of it. Selling drugs and running around with a gat is not the way to live. Much respect to all you big homies. Do the right thing and get out of the hood.
I'm a white man that's listened to hip hop since the late 80s and bin around the drug culture as well somewhat. I agree with these guys our government isn't playing as politicians should be they have a agenda to meet and poor whites and probably all blacks is definitely not in that agenda there agenda is getting all they can before they go out. look at Nancy and Biden what have they done and i think Trump is better than them but not by much what we need is for something drastic to change all this but what that is is to be determined. ...I really truly hope that the black Community and all races including the poor whites can figure this all out for the better in life. ....godbles
Too short a Real one! Nothing but respect for the OG for telling the truth about our culture
....mouthful, designed from the beginning.
Great talk
Too Short along with people like Ant Banks, E40 etc.. was one of the first people who started Trap music way back then. Well in the Bay Area, they call it Mob music but outside of the Bay, it's considered Trap & then later on it moved down South & we see people like Master P who lived in the Bay moved back to the South with it & then everybody started trapping in the South.

Only the strong survived real talk ,,,, us older Kats new this was game of politics but who was the smartest to know when yo time was up in them streets , just cuz you dip from the hood don’t make you a sucker , it’s makes you a survivor this generation wouldn’t have lasted a week with OAKLAND ,,, LA. And the CALI CENTR VALLEY HOODS back then automatic lights outs . Hood politics back then had rules to abide by as soon as you disrespect any of it you getting NEW JACK CITY AKA DEALT WITH , WITH A KILL . Just know some can go back with no pass some gotta have a potna from way back to have that pass , or really known to not have no pass to go back to the hood . Game .
If you vote you voting for your oppressors, and that’s f”””in dumb, be smart and let’s come together as a nation of people and get from under our oppressors.

FACTS!ain't no sense in voting we learned in middle school that the ELECTORAL COLLEGE SELECT! their president it's a SELECTION NOT AN ELECTION! don't matter this particular election is a choice over a covert racist and an overt one these men say we put our self in this situation NO WE DIDN'T the Most High God of Israel put us in it it's 2020 i'm sure everybody done heard that they're an Israelite. and still won't listen we still relying on money looking over the fact that we will surely DIE! we gotta lay this life down.
I'm JuSt here to hear Too Short
I love these "it was all a setup" conversations. How can you have so much information at your fingertips and still get it wrong?
Real talk. James had me rollin when he said, you think they tryin to help you then they stretch yo ass out! 🤦🏽😂 Whass wrong wit em James! They wrong.
Let's go too short
Hip hop is educational street poetry. Guys like Short & Eiht have been dropping knowledge for 30 + yrs. Younger folks need to listen & pay attention. Peace!
Too Short has the best stories, super smart dude.
There was a stipulation in many cities/states that if the father was in the home there would be no assistance for the household. That's another way they broke up the family.
Too Short The Legend
If your vote DIDN'T matter they wouldn't try to take it from you. And if they get enough people to believe it DOESN'T count, it's a victory. NOT voting is essentially giving your vote to the other side. Whether you vote or not you STILL have to live with the vote of the ones who did!! Think about that.
True.
Thats right Too Short
The ill thing is like short,I was around to see the dope game really pop off in the 80s...even here in Atlanta. Obviously it's not like it used to be,and dudes were starting to getting fed time for big slangin..Yet in 2020 here In Atlanta, So many of these guys still trying to be dope boys...even when they don't have to be....Definitely by design...The dope game..

Trapping is hustling, hustling is making money, it don’t only fall under crack & heron. Short speaking on some super old 💩 these youngins scam more than they hustle & it only becomes a actual trap when you don’t have a plan. 💯

Great convo. Man them drugs will turn the strongest man into a child.
Goerge Bush had a pad in Compton in those days.... We fell for that bullshit. I grew up in that bs. Short always spit the real .... his music talks a lot of real shit.
Have ya’ll seen my great awakening playlists. I got Redpills for all.
Continue ! To Speak the Truth. ! Will it make a Difference ? Hopefully I still cannot Fathom How the Young Black Male Continues to walk down the same road to Destruction while thinkin the RISK is Worth the Perceived Outcome ! While knowing the road a head is littered with dead bodies, broken lives and lengthy prison SENTENCES ! Most don't have a valid reason for such decisions. You want top notch designer shoes and outfits so you can be fly ! I was 13, 14, 15, an 16 Once ! And I Definitely Knew Better ! More than that I cared about what my family thought ! Who wanted to gamble on jail when the Freedom to walk around and make your own choices was all around me. At that age very few do not know Right from Wrong.
