What’s your take on this album? Do you think it’s a classic? Check out their record on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/0Y9PtNknB794Y3jfXs4PxH...
Back in my teenage days, I used to think this record was straight garbage. Now, 30 years later, I gotta ask myself if I've flipped my opinion. I only gave this album a one-time spin way back in '95. So, what’s my take on it now? Was I just a young fool back then, or did I actually have a point? 00:00 Introduction 01:59 Liquid Swords 13:14 I'm Going To Rap (Lyrical Recital) 27:38 I Gotcha Back 29:40 Final Thoughts Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/tha-gangsta-rap-minute6824/exclusiv...

I’m about to dive into one of the most significant records from the West Coast—BG Knockout and Gangsta Dresta’s "Real Brothas" album. From start to finish, it’s a true Ruthless classic with fire production by Rhythm D, Doctor Jam, and Madness 4 Real. Now, don’t get it twisted; this is a Def Jam release, but it dropped shortly after Eazy-E passed away. In this video, I’m revisiting this dope album and sharing my thoughts on each track. So, roll with me back to 1995, and let’s get it poppin’. Spot...

Rolling in at the 25th spot on the legendary Gangsta 100 Playlist, we got 50 Cent’s track “Gangsta’s Delight.” Now, y’all know this joint samples the iconic “Rapper’s Delight” by Sugar Hill Gang—yeah, it’s been done before a million times, but never quite like this. 50 adds his own flavor with a slick nod to N.W.A. because, let’s be real, every true gangsta needs to pay homage. This banger comes straight off the “Self Destruct” album that hit the scene back in 2009, and let me tell you, it’s a c...
"It's Funky Enough" marks the debut single of American rapper The D.O.C., kicking off his 1989 album No One Can Do It Better. This joint ruled the US Top Rap Songs chart for 18 weeks straight, including a solid four weeks at the number one spot. To hype it up, they even dropped a black-and-white music video. The track was produced by the legendary Dr. Dre and samples "Misdemeanor" by Foster Sylvers. You’ve probably heard it in games like Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, True Crime: Streets of LA, ...
This was one of the first hip-hop tracks I ever heard. What a track it was. It's catchy; it's worthy of being called one of the best singles ever. It's a get money everyday song for any royalties it's getting."It Takes Two" is a song by New York City hip hop duo Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock that became a top-40 single and was later certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Since it was released in 1988 by Profile Records, the song has been covered and sampled by sev...
"Nobody Move," penned by MC Ren, features him dropping in with a line or two. This track comes from the Eazy Duz It album, which went at least double platinum. For many fans, this was their introduction to the rap scene stemming from N.W.A. Eazy-E was the voice of the group, and it didn’t take long for the big egos to tear N.W.A apart. But let’s set that aside and focus on this track. "Nobody Move" is an absolute classic, delivering a gangster's narrative about a bank heist. We all kind of pictu...
Tha Streetz a Mutha, is Kurupt's sophomore studio album, dropped in '99 under Antra Records and backed by Artemis Records for distribution. This album packs a punch with its standout single, "Who Ride Wit Us."

Kurupt ca...
In 1992, N.W.A. unleashed a true game-changer with "N's 4 LIFE"—just take a look at that iconic record cover. This album is packed to the brim with classic tracks that have stood the test of time. Eazy-E certainly shone the brightest, his charisma so undeniable that even the legendary Dr. Dre and MC Ren couldn’t overshadow him. Nevertheless, all three of these titans came together to create a true West Coast classic. Now, let’s dive into one particular track—the solo piece from Eazy-E, titled "I...
