Now are you talking lyrically and/or musically? Or the way of life? __________________ "Rap is something you do; Hip hop is something you live..." - - - KRS-One

I've got 2 for ya......

Believe it or not, Ice T was on the cutting edge of 'Gangsta/hardcore' rap back in the day.

He was a well known/respected hustler before he blew up rhymin', in fact, most of his early stuff was just a rehash of his life....

But, hands down, the hardest, most 'real' album that I EVER heard was by these guy's called "The Lifers Group". Remember " scared straight"?

Well. it's the newer generation of those guys...Man, these cats were rhymin' about crimin', and it was all true..How do I know? Oh, did I mention that the entire album was recorded at Rikers Island? These guy's were talkin' about the stuff that got them locked up, and the stuff that went down in jail..
