    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"

    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.

    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 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 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.

    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.
