    “You don’t see the connection, Puerto?”

    Sadly, many rap fans don’t know anything that came before the Pac and Biggie era.

    Johhny Cash was and is still an O.G….half of these rappers aint got his stripez!

  • Puerto-Black

    U damn right I don’t know shit about DE LA Soul. I was born in 86 (80′s BABY OOOWWW). My DE La soul was the Blackstars and commons. I’m sorry that it’s so SAD that I wasn’t up on them back when Ninja turtles and Ghostbusters was my life.

  • Casey

    Son I was born in ’90 and I know who they are…Get ya weight up!

  • YUNG WORLD

    Damn I was born in 86 to puerto lack so speak for yourself I know about that to rap is just not you

  • Puerto-Black

    Na nigga I no about cats that were appeling to me back in the day. That my uncles/dad/cousin’s palyed around me at a young age. The Big Daddy Kane’s, Rakim’s, Geto Boys; shit even the Biz and tribe got play. IMO that DE LA Soul was wack and yes I later Listened to a few albums later in life it was still garbage but The song I like was the shit about the semi-fat bitchs. Nigga just because I don’t fuck with a certain group does’nt mean I don’t no shit about hip-hop. That’s just my thoughts, no more importrant or right as yours
