      @619 OG no I agree brotha. Im just saying it's true mostly casual rap listeners just name obvious guys like Tupac , biggie, taking, eazy, method man. But I agree dude I'm glad no one knows eventually people will love this music and appreciate how amazing of true art this music is. Glad to see others like me out there who love the underrated guys

    [Verse 1: C.L. Smooth]
    Lights, camera, action (Smooth)
    The extra blazin' I push
    Is like Moses talkin' to the burnin' bush
    Face the furious meltdown of underground bugs
    The kingpin raising all my thugs, hear
    When I set the flossing overhead now
    With the click that makes you die for the family and God
    No doubt we're facing this and guard your radius
    When I come with the squad, that would dead it instantanious
    Arms grab me, out the killing fields of crossfire
    Just to put me in chains behind barbed wire
    Keep a strap on his lap, son, the gate is fat, bless me (It's done)
    Then drag 'em naked for blocks, 'til you open up the safe box
    For new Glocks my revolution's gold as every hour
    My firepower's aimed at your control tower
    True that, I thought you knew that
    My swerve is out of hand
    Introducing Scatter Black, my stick man
    [Verse 2: Kenny]
    It's on, hands up, the pocket-wanter
    Gun-slinger, the street linger
    Homing a dead bringer, poppin' your derby thinker
    Scatter, niggas fear the mercenary corner vet
    Deep like the projects, America's threat
    Walkin' nightmares, sharks, wolfpacks
    Who crave burners and switchblades
    Havin' brothers runnin' like slaves
    Devoted crook lives, generate pies, niggas will die
    Trapped and lost souls in the game that we specialize
    [Chorus: Pete Rock Scratched Samples]
    "Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth"
    "Specialize in music"
    "That's why I give you more of the raw"
    "I'll only use this type of style when I choose it"
    "I speak for the hardcore, hardcore"
    "Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth"
    "Specialize in music"
    "That's why I give you more of the raw"
    "I'll only use this type of style when I choose it"
    "I speak for the hardcore, hardcore"
    [Verse 3: C.L. Smooth]
    We hittin' your set in a posse
    A legendary madness to blend with made men
    Approachin' ghetto celeb status
    Guns for hire, movin' keys of my empire
    The source is, niggas reachin' for their armed forces
    A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing and snakes that rattle
    Plus your ultimate fear, is being cut down in battle
    Blessed with the team and to get the cream and
    My bloodline is fiendin' to slay the demon
    So what you want, dunn? Tonz O' Gunz
    Hoes most goes in addition
    Ballin' in the crew for position
    Damn to my terror, the cruel love, etcetera
    Warrior, competitor, a step ahead of ya
    Fruitcakes front like you're from the penintentiary
    'Cause outside ya "full" inside ya "empty"
    Tempt me, to break your manhood and work you like a mule
    'Cause the world has no pity for the fool
    Meet the press, now don tell us really what it represents
    Any man should die for turning state's evidence
    Who you fazin'? The extra blazin', conversation
    It's probably why they hauled me in for tax evasion
    Hope my clique knock a Brinks and my family eat
    Preparin' all my enemies to fall before my feet
    It's sweet to see the Black man rise
    Open your eyes, C.L. Smooth specialize
    [Chorus: Pete Rock Scratched Samples]
    "Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth"
    "Specialize in music"

    "I'll only use this type of style when I choose it"
    "I speak for the hardcore, hardcore"
    [Verse 4: C.L. Smooth]
    Take 'em to the straits where fleets of fool run it
    Trapped off in a Holy War where you don't want it
    If the feud escalate, and the drama can't cease
    Take this cue ball in the sock to the headpiece
    The crime iller for realer, the hunted bounty killer
    Trackin' somethin' sinister then confess to your minister
    I want seven figures, we pull the biggest triggers
    Or bring a lynch mob back and start hangin' niggas
    With brute force I show no remorse
    Break you off like sexual intercourse
    Dig it, the connection
    For you to start to pay me for protection
    And make no mistake, we want all the cake
    Do your pull-ups and dips in the cool out musclin'
    But when midnights strikes, all my players start hustlin'
    Put your weight on the scale and major supplies
    To pump these drugs we specialize
    Listen 👂
