I think Bloods, Crips, crack, and the LAPD played a big part in the rise of Hip Hop in the city too. I know Gangsta Rap/G-Funk gets all the attention but you can't forget all the alternative acts throughout the 90's-00's in LA like The Pharcyde, Freestyle Fellowship, Tha Alkaholiks, The Black Eyed Peas, Jurassic 5, People Under the Stairs, and Dilated Peoples.
The dude obviously doesn't know shit about hip hop or else he'd know just how fucking important the pharcyde and the fellowship were to rap history BUT WHATEVER
New York is the mecca of Hip Hop I started rapping in 1979 or was it 78 before the commercial success of East Coast Hip Hop I had a neighbor who had moved here from New York who had a lot of cassettes and that's where I heard hip hop so before the sugarhill gang even we came famous I was already rapping in Los Angeles California. And I owe all my skills to the East Coast
Just had to comment twice, I love this man. I'm a Los Angeles native myself and this video was spot on :) your attention to detail is appreciated deeply
I forgot Detroit but what the fuck does Miami have to do with hip hop HISTORY? Clown. And I thought about Cleveland but Bone just isn't enough I don't think. Maybe a Midwest episode with Chicago, Detroit and Cleveland would be best.
I hate when ppl call this guy a culture vulture he really be putting in effort and knows his history way more that almost 80 percent of black people. People need to stop hating on him fr
An appreciation and devotion to understanding the culture has nothing to do with his race or anyone else’s... respecting a culture is not appropriating it... I have mad respect for time he takes to research and spread this info
And it’s funny how y’all think u know more than us when we r the primary sources literally in the shit 🤦🏿♂️ 😂 I have direct sources for uncles / dad and friends. I’m literally wat this whole video talks about
@@ZELLIS Who even said they know more about it than the people who were alive and there during those times? Dumbass. No wonder you can't pull more than 1k views in.
To this day, Doggystyle is the most sublime, enjoyable, perfect rap album, from start to finish, that I have ever heard. Snoop is not my favorite rapper, but Doggystyle is my favorite rap album. I keep that cd in my car. Just perfection. 👌
Oooh trap lore Ross! Maybe an episode Houston rap? I know it’s a pretty small subset of southern rap but would love to see you cover it in its own episode
Kolo Mark we definitely need a doc on Texas Hip Hop from Rap a Lot, Screw Up Click, South Park Coalition, UGK Swishahouse, Trae & Z-Ro, The Sauce Factory
More content like this please!!? This was a very polished, informative, interesting and enjoyable! Great entertainment Trap Lore Ross! Even better than your last album you put out! Thank you bruddah, keep it up!
Quality stuff TLR, I think you’ve reach a plateau with where you at right now so I see this as a great quality vid to really help put you up over the plateau. There is a huge market for this type of content. Also, do a 6ix9ine video and release it when he gets released!
Bro this video was amazing! The ending made me feel totally identified with you. I'm a latino who learned English mostly due to music (specially Hip-Hop). It's crazy how art can influence the world. thank you for this! :)
Yooo loved this. Vid Was hella accurate. Never knew about the original riots in the 60s. So much history here. Kid from ATL that has loved smoking to G Funk for years. Also, you made a Freudian slip at 10 minutes 51 seconds and called it G punk 😂
Damn this is real quality stuff. Really awesome to see you do this type of videos, always amazing to see a well done look at some history. Props to you! :)
Dude this was great, I love this long form video style. Other ideas Houston/Texas, Memphis, Florida/Broward County, New Orleans, The Midwest/Kansas City Mo, and Atlanta
After watching a lot of Trap’s videos, i’m starting to think “Skrrrrt” is his favourite adlib, lool! Keep doing your thing sir, I appriciate how funny as well as informative your vids are! #KeepItUp
Ross you should do some videos of cool uk stories, like when dipset got robbed by so solid crew , or the skepta aiyna apa story, or even one about cashtastic getting deported for not snitching on giggs,
Great video bro, glad you gave The Game his props. He’s got a lot of haters for whatever reason. I almost shed a tear at the end! You’re always welcome in Dallas/Fort Worth, TX if you do a Post Malone come up bro 💯
Lolz I can't believe this Brit is at the watts towers in this video. Welcome to LA bro. Hit me up if you trying to hit some of that Los Angeles ganja with one of your subscribers 👍
Lolz sent that first message before the video ended. Well next time I'll your in LA I'll have a blunt roll of the finest of kush we have to offer 😂. Good video mate.
