1998גs? release of Eastside Badstads spoke about specific g'd up behaviors that had only made the occasional appearance on previous Project Blowed releases (Self-Jupiterגs For No Reason, Volume 10גs album, Rifleman Knuckle Sandwich). When listening to Project Blowed releases there was always a tone of gangsterism throughout, even though they werenגt usually talking about it directly. It reminds me of how one could listen to Parliament Funkadelic and tell they were a rough and tumble group even when they were talking about whatever the fuck they were talking about. But the badstads came out and were strictly talking gangster shit. There was still the seamless blend of skills and g shit you came to expect from the Blowed (see Rifleman and Ngafsh on Fuck A Cop) but the topic was strictly to the latter. They werenגt talking about the proverbial mc they were gonna smoke on the microphone. If you listen to the chorus on גTreacherous Three Remixג the albumגs theme is pretty much summed by an eerie voice singing, גEastside Badstads- gangbangin like it aint no thang.ג West coast gang culture mannerisms are expertly put to use in CRגs music. The roll call of gang sets on the third verse of גFuck You Upג can not not be replicated by a person from any other place other than South Central LA. You couldnגt even be from San Diego and call them out the same way. Not to say people arenגt banging each other over the head in every city across the nation, but CRגs ways are decidedly LA. Another pure LA song would be גCasualtyzג off the <span style="text-decoration: underline">Biggest and the Baddest</span> album; it is a dedication to several of the groupגs dead friends. there are many others songs that fall into the category of exemplified regionalism, but we'll start with these. They are as specific to south central as those low flying planes that boom over top every 3 fucking seconds. i actually attribute much of the static stress and subsequent violence to those planes. i dont know how anyone can function with that constant barrage. Am I alone on that one?
