lol come on man, don't be one of those guys.  He references Jr High.  In America, that's 6th, 7th, and 8th grade.  For the other one, the fact that the guy says 'she's too young right now' doesn't mean she's 18 or 19, especially when you consider Tha Twinz were that age during that album, and they are at the draft....doesn't make any sense.  Don't tell me for a minute you're trying to justify in your mind how this type of thinking is OK.

remember MC Ren's lines in "She Swallowed It"? ...not saying that it was right or wrong but no one batted an eyelash back then, different times...now of course with the Me Too movement and all of that it would never get released :ohwell:

hey man, just playin devils advocate here

he says "back in jr high school" which means she no longer in jr high ... could be in college or even a senior in high school (18)


not tryna justify anything .. like higheyecue said, it was different times .. plus, the pimp game always been notorious for dealin wit girls on the younger side (mainly in high school or fresh out)

i'm not advocating for any of that, just kinda weird seeing u up in arms over what's been known.. never took u as the cancel culture typa fella

Oh no doubt, that line by MC Ren is bad too.  Some of Dre's lines are bad too.  Sign of the times.  Not saying it wasn't more acceptable back then, because it was.  Still doesn't make it easy to listen to now that we're better as a society.

I remember I was at the mall music store, Sam Goody i believe, and I only had enough money for one cassette tape, Warren G or Coolio.  I picked Warren G and listened to that for months.  I think i made the right call.  I did eventually pick up It Takes a Thief as well, but I didn't like it as much as Regulate.

That ain't even a debate.  I've never heard anyone question which of those two albums was better.  So I assume you were using subtlety for comedic effect.

I did absolutely love the "I Remember" music video the Alkoholics in it - such a beautiful song — and no one I knew was wise enough to know Coolio had already been around in WC's Maad Circle. 

Shout out to my best friend Adam that summer — we did everything together — from roller blade hockey in the street to death defying jumps of balconies, tennis, epic boxing matches — we even went fishing together of all things — his older brother made out with some neighborhood girl on the back deck — and was like that cool older brother in the neighborhoods st8 out of an 80's movie — that used to pick on us but we thought he was "cool" lol
