    Discovering G-funk is one of the best things that happened to me this year. This dude not only raps nicely but got beats that make me feel like I'm on a beach with palm trees on the boulevard while a gentle breeze is keeping the temperature perfect. The synth @ 0:20 is heavenly 😍

    I remember grabbing this after hearing Snoop shout him out on lil ghetto boy! That how we picked what we were gonna buy back then when there was no social media to promote artists. We would hear a rapper shout out one of their homeboys or hear them on a feature. Then spread the word to all of our friends on which albums were good or not!

    See at 0:43 the way he pulls his mask down. Thats what I was doing in Long Beach everyday that feeling of being disgusted with yourself but you still gotta pull that mask down to make a living and eat or to kill an enemy. See when you first join the gang it seems cool but after a while you feel like a demon and disgusting with yourself pullin that mask down like that 0:43. You in the car ridin around but then you got to do your job. And you dropped out highschool. So now your in your mid 20s still doin this shit. Its not fun no more girls dont think your cool anymore they all got jobs but this is the only way you can make a living. Look at his hands the way he pulls his mask down. Thats what i was doing in the 70s 80s 90s. Look at the way he pulls it down like he crying inside n disgusted with the way hes got to live. What you know bout that you dont know nothin. N being in a gang aint always about shooting sometimes you aint got a gun most of the time you dont. So you got to workout n not be afraid if the other guys got a knife or gun while your walking home. You would go to jail so fast if you relied on a gun that much. The longer you in this life though the better of an idea it is to keep a gun with you at all times n go to jail rather that than a casket n thats real. Westside SonS of Samoa. But the messed up part is the longer you stay in this life the more you learn how to do things manuever n not get caught but its get more dangerous. So its like a double edged sword
    I had this on cassette and rode around listening to it. Saw the music video and the way he pulled his mask down resonated with me like at first it was cool but then I had to keep doing it but thats all i knew i was stuck in that life couldnt get a job i was a felon
    Eastside Long Beach
    Now if that doesnt prove thats me in those videos im not sure what would. N this game aint free it costs your life i dont give free game out like that somebody gone die or a lot of people really nobody

    Growing up in my hood it was really on like that
    I had to put it down to had to do me a jab
    To give me a sack, so I can come up
    On the block serving rocks from sun down to sun up
    I was, really puttin' it down like that
    And dressed in all black straight down for the jack
    I was a youngster, packing a 4-5
    Bailing on the looney ass eastside (right)
    I had my chore, so I played the part of a gangsta
    Never ever coulda be a pranksta
    Pushing niggas in their face, puttin' punk bitches in their place
    Now feel the bass
    Give you a taste of this gangsta shit
    I got the cavvy tracks and my rhyms are on hit
    And like some weed it will rush ya
    Cause hanging on my block, you had to be a hustler
    [Hook]
    You had to be a hustler
    Cause if you was a buster you know we wouldn't trust ya
    You had to be a hustler
    Cause if you was a buster you know we wouldn't trust ya
    You had to be a hustler
    Cause if you was a buster you know we wouldn't trust ya
    You had to be a hustler
    Cause if you was a buster you know we wouldn't trust ya
    [Verse 2]
    Now the year is 1989
    I'm on the cavvy spot and I'm doing fine
    I got riches, I got bitches
    I got a candy green 4 with 16 switches
    On some triple gold was
    Every single day straight swerving, sippin' on a cold one
    On my way to the weedspot
    I got my Glock in the stashpot cause the cops are kinda hot
    And now I gots me a sack
    And now I'm heading back to the street where the fucking money at
    It's the block where I slang
    And all the G niggas hang and the young niggas bang
    Puttin' it down every single night
    Getting there drunk, showin' off, tryin' to fight
    One another but we still had love
    And rest in peace to my niggas up above
    Because uh
    [Hook]
    You had to be a hustler
    Cause if you was a buster you know we wouldn't trust ya
    You had to be a hustler
    Cause if you was a buster you know we wouldn't trust ya
    You had to be a hustler
    Cause if you was a buster you know we wouldn't trust ya
    You had to be a hustler
    Cause if you was a buster you know we wouldn't trust ya
    It's a cold thing when you got no game
    See every smoker on the block know my name
    I was a youngster with boulders for your shoulders
    And still slanging cavvy down my shoulder
    And I got some niggas down with me
    See every single day we sell a pound you see
    Or that bomb ass doja mack
    So come on my block and get a fat sack
    We got the shit that'll fuck you up
    So don't take it to the head or you might get stung
    So grab a partner and spark the bomb
    Cause it'll have you like tweaking from dusk to dawn
    I tell the truth and I never lie
    Cause I promise I smoke chronic till the day I die
    And a new face on the block, we couldn't trust ya
    Cause you might be a busta
    [Hook]
    You had to be a hustler
    Cause if you was a buster you know we wouldn't trust ya
