    Her lyrics resonate with the lifestyle I lived in the 1990’s in Los Angeles. Literally half of my friends got killed from gun violence, none of them made it to see 18 years of age. As a ex gang member from Compton Varrio 117 ST, I am blessed to be alive. Running the streets of South Los Angeles in the 1990’s as a teenager was a death sentence. Those that know know

      Yeah the Compton varrios were some of the most violent gangs in L.A. it was everyone against everyone. The homies used to jump or shoot at any gangster they see slipping. Me I was that ladies man type, all I cared about was girls and partying. But of course I had to put in the work when I had to, but I never shot no one, I always tried to avoid those situations. I was called a bitch for that but good thing I was the triple O.G.’s driver so I got away with a lot of things that was considered receiving “stripes”. But everyone else were 1,000% violent criminals.

      I remember this song, but for a not-so-good reason. I took the bus home from school in the 8th grade. had a Walkman, and I was listening to this while waiting for the bus on Georgia ave. G Street, across from that flea market that isn't there anymore. Anyways I'm whether there, vibing to the song, and a car pulls up, a man hops out with a "9", turns it sideways, and starts shooting at a guy that was walking on the sidewalk. Boom, boom, boom, boom, until he had nothing left. Then left the car in the middle of the road and ran away. I walked over to the guy and saw him laying on the ground, struggling to breathe. My only thoughts were that this looked nothing like it did in the movies. Small holes, with fluid running out. It was surreal.
      The feds came. I remember an Asian and black police officer asking the crowd did anyone see anything. I wanted to say yes, and tell them, but I noticed that people from the crowd that saw the incident with me, turned around and walked away. Right there I knew I shouldn't say anything but didn't know why at the time. Just felt like the right thing to do (even though it wasn't). I always thought that it was ironic that I was listening to an anti-crime, anti-gun violence song and witnessed a murder to it. We never had cable so I never knew there was even a video for this song. Positive music like this would be corny by todays standards.
      Fast forward to the present day, (2022). I work at Howard, (right down the street) and I noticed that every year we have Howard Homecoming. An event where black artist perform on stage in front of the supposedly academically-elite, and sing songs promoting, murder violence, drug dealing & general criminality. We all dance to it, and it's completely normal to us. The neighborhood surrounding Howard, has been pretty violent for years (although gentrification has brought some peace). Although D Chews made that snarky remark, it is unfortunately the reality. I've seen/heard of violent incidents on and around campus, but the major focus is when a non-melanated person walks a dog on campus. What a shame.
      That mayor in NY tried to ban drill-Music, but was hit with backlash. Its like were trying to make life worse for ourselves at this point. Music is a huge, influential part of our culture. I wish music like this would come back. The murder rate is higher than it was in some cities in the 90's, but we choose to promote our own demise it seems.

      What's really messed up is the division that's been caused between all people of this nation we all live in. "The powers that be" have been using that card they play again and again. All to divide and conquer. And it's all up to us to stand together as Human Beings. Because we're not back in the dark ages unless we all wanna be. And being in THEIR dark ages keeps the blinders on us all. We limit ourself, we are our own worst enemy, yet as a whole... we are a force to be reckoned with. And THAT'S what THEY'RE afraid of. I pray we all come together and soon. Because things are getting too real. And if we stop playing their game, they'll be screwed. God didn't give us power to just sit on. He gave us power to use. And we were warned by Him about these PTB and principalities. They're our enemy! Not eachother. All made in His image. We can and WILL move mountains.

    I worked on the production of this video. Camera department. At hour 25 I pleaded to go home, I think we finished at hour 26. Lots to say #1 the artist was a really kind person. #2 in the scene with the undercover cops arriving the actor forgot to put the car in park, so it slowly then quickly rolled down the McD's parking lot into a parked car. Misc, the AD was a real piece of work and the Crane operator blew up one of my custom monitors by plugging it into his power supply-which was reversed polarity from what the monitor wanted. Good times.

      If "The Message" by Melle Mel and Duke Boote wasn't the first conscious Hip Hop song then the best rap song would be Public Enemy "Fight the Power." However, because The Message evolved Hip Hop music from only party music to include conscious or reality rap music then it has to be the best song.

      @@therealnonchalant5145 I still jam to your music too. I always appreciated your talent. You're a legend in the land of 202 👑.
      Do you have any new product coming out? I'm trying to purchase some of your new music.
