I've met Sick Jacken in Pomona store in California in 2007, just by accident. He is such a nice guy, there is a lot that one can learn from him ) Love and Respect from Russia
damn every time I listen to this track I can't help n reminisce about the life style I grew up on these streets reminiscing the love one's we've lost either through death or sent behind the walls for life, like MC BLVD said "I remember you homie" Pico Union "2 sides to every story" Home of the psycho city blocks! Coming from that Constance Ship

I don't know much, about this thing called love, but I'm willing to try. I don't know much about it either baby, but if you're willing, then so am I. [Sick Jacken] It all started in the mexican streets and ended up in east L.A. blocks that's where the love was released. me and doob, world products of those immigrant antique ways where men are men and the cowards stay back seat. and last thing, street education my dad teached. It aint the gangs in the hood but the cops that harassed me. He said, money wouldn't last me long, enjoy family before they get the passin on. I grew up on the 17th block of pico hood, a rough life, but good times kept us moving. I stayed down with mom and pop, my blood, big doob, richard, and lil j. that's one love [Cynic] I never express my love with a hug and kiss more like a, f*** you and a diss. this life is a gift before I looked at it like it was a s*** cuz of the way we grew up, mistreated as kids. Must've called it tough love, or called it being real with eachother. never cared about those enemies or undercover. West gate was the streets, where the kids felt like me, constantly got into beef. There's no one to blame, for all mistakes and pain we went through, and made our folks through too. So when ever I did something wrong, moms I blamed it on you. Though u had no idea of what your son would do. [Chorus] There ain't no city like my city in this whole world. There ain't nobody like my sons and our baby girls. I thank god up above for this lifetime, and I got love for my women in the night time. Yeah, and it's still all good. I grew up in the ghetto but I love my hood. Now this is how it is and this is and how it's always gonna be. Me and my fam till we r-i-p. [Crow Soto] I wake up, and I'm surprised that I'm still breating. Believing, yes it's another day that I've cheated death. yeah, sometimes it feels like there's nothing left. Take care of your mother, wept giving you your first breath. I was blessed with this life that lived, could've died as a kid all the wild s*** we did. Tagged my name up, then jumping from a bridge, smoking and drinking s*** I don't know what I was thinking. Mom and Pops couldn't watch my whole life. all the stress, drugs, and fights, for all they thought wasn't right. But in life Everything comes full circle. Now we raising boys and girls that we brought into this world. We were them young boys out there pullin pistols. No one ever said that your loved ones might miss you. Life is crazy, thank the family that made me, cuz they raised me with the street smarts that saved me [5th Dimension sample] I don't know much, about this thing called love, but I'm willing to try. I don't know much about it either baby, but if you're willing, then so am I [Cynic] Now that I've survived twenty something years of my life, I can see things much more clear. I can live in the dark, and give light to those in need. I remember Jack giving my first s.p. Everyday I was making beats through day and may, try to master these beats to see where it would lead. Like after 5 years they gave me my seed, now I'm praying real hard for my family to live in peace. [Sick Jacken] We learned tough love on these streets. Sometimes seems we never had much, so we break the law to eat. now I owe my life to a beat, hey s*** changed though. Thats the solid game though and I mean deep. thought if I stayed away from the guns and crime waves I'll be saved at the end of the day from the drama. But u find out this world just ain't nothing nice. All survival, what I learned early on in my life. [Chorus] There ain't no city like my city in this whole world. There ain't nobody like my sons and our baby girls. I thank god up above for this lifetime, and I got love for my women in the night time. Yeah, and it's still all good. I grew up in the ghetto but I love my hood. Now this is how it is and this is and how it's always gonna be. Me and my fam till we r-i-p
Real Hip Hop is still around. The things that sucks is that real hip hop isn't heard on the radio. Its now more underground like these fools. There not all that but at least they not talking about snapping fingers and dancing!
Btw, big duke survived, however, He got shot in a way that he is now paralyzed until his head, the poor man can only lie down, eat, breathe, hear and watch things!
