Compton

[TJDave]

Beautiful city of brotherly love, immortalized in song...

Is broke.

This makes the fourth CA city to sink. I see a trend. ;)


Straight outta Compton, crazy mother****er named Ice Cube
From the gang called Niggaz With Attitudes
When I'm called off, I got a sawed off
Squeeze the trigger, and bodies are hauled off
You too, boy, if ya **** with me
The police are gonna hafta come and get me
Off yo ass, that's how I'm goin out
For the punk mother****ers that's showin out
Niggaz start to mumble, they wanna rumble
Mix em and cook em in a pot like gumbo
Goin off on a mother****er like that
with a gat that's pointed at yo ass

Most rap sucks. But NWA was great, so was Public Enemy.

I still get a kick out of Wild thing, Funky cold medina, baby got back and if I'm feeling really nostalgic - the rap that started it all - Rappers Delight. That's about all I can handle.

One of my favorite covers ever was of this song (serious language warning ahead...definitely NSFW):
