“Large jewelry and expensive Gucci/Next stop, Paid In Full posse recruits me/Knew they were some millionaires, their ropes were dookie/Eric B man lookin' like touch it, he’ll shoot me/You see, every time Ra didn't show/I get to record demos at attempts to blow”

That Stillmatic intro ..

 

[Lab Baby]

The irony of these particular dudes pioneering the image ppl end up bashing when criticizing materialism in hip hop. There's a skit on the 3 Feet High & Rising bonus disc (Brainwashed Follower) where they completely shit on gold chains and cars for African medallions and "video games". Long Island ass niggas. That look was the average hustler in the 80s. You see someone dressed like that in a NYC, just assume they a OG that can either drop life jewels on you or rip your heart out your chest with 3 fingers.

Shit hip hop been hip-ocritical since the jump that’s just how we sell it!

what hood you from?

Brownsville. And before anyone corrects me, I know Rakim is from L.I.. Him, Prodigy, Chuck D and Busta are a rare breed. The average L.I. nigga spends rent money on YuGiOh cards.
