Back when it started, the best gangsta rappers were really just regular rappers rapping about gangsta shit with a lot of social issues (police brutality, etc) mixed in. When real gangstas rap they suck (spider loc).^^ you need to check out Rep Yo Set, real gangstas killing it on the mic!

the street did determine what was hot..... and the suits with the big checks followed ...see.... at one time radio with the exception of a few outlets were not playing rap music on a large scale.... street music that was hot sold via word of mouth .... and some of those songs had low budget videos which got played by a wonderful cabel network called THE BOX... THE BOX allowed people from all over the chance to play whatever was hot in their area, which was how alot of people got the chance to hear what was going on since Radio hadnt committed to rap with the exception of the rap/dance song....Hard core/Gangsta Rap got its push by these street records having their low budget videos seen and heard nationwide on cable ..... YO!MTV Raps picked up on alot of these songs and started airing them.... The majors started picking up on these groups when these songs caught on with white audiences, which bought a shitload of CD's.... Radio made a nationwide commitment to Rap.... and thats when slowly but surely things started to change in to the system of what we have today....But yes.... the streets did determine what was hot at one time... from yes y'all rap, to break dancing rap, beat boxing, gangsta, you name it.....

Law states that all men and women born in American soil are immeditately citizens.Chicano - Has two meanings:1. Synonym for Mexican-American in a political aspect (think Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers)2. Synonym for Mexican-American as a street urban lifestyle. Start out with Kid Frost, work your way towards Brownside, take a dose of some Spanish F.L.Y., climb up Cypress Hill, journey into the Psycho Realm and muevelo, muevelo til you witness the birth of Pocos Pero Locos.A lot of radio stations don't want to play Chicano rap because of what it represents - gangsta music.
