As someone from England, my first gangsta rap track i heard was probably "betta bring a gun" i remember 6 in the mornin, I never thought Schoolly D was a gangster rapper, but Ice T is held in very high regard in the UK I always liked "Body rock"
SCHOOLLY D was from the streets too, Norey! Husslin" in North Philly...with the Parkside Killaz. Ice-T is one of the 10 most important legends in Hip Hop. But, he got his rap style and look from SCHOOLLY D!!! 6 in the Mornin' IS a remake of PSK, just like Boyz n the Hood IS a remake of I'm a Ho. Schoolly D, Just Ice and MC Shan was street rappin' before him. Among others. Ice-T was blessed-in by the Zulu Nation at the Apollo in Harlem. BTW, Hip hop started in '72. The video poster wouldn't know that though, just looking for clicks... Nice clip and insightful too. Credit for that because I can't watch a full Drink Champs.
someone spoke on Ice-T writing gangsta rhymes or poetry before rap was invented or popular on the west coast. I believe he revised it though to make it sound harder.
You could tell he wants to get away from that gang politic part of the convo because he knows things can get murky even just doing an interview and talking About shit like that. He’s smart as fuck
Cali politics. I’m in SD and everybody knows this is hound town. Eses and hounds. Either way, shits ridiculous. Come on fellas…I love the hood but I wish we could be better, but we can’t. Never could probably never will.
