Tommy Wright has since started putting out some music, mostly he's touring, his live shows are insane, in some ways he's been "adopted" by the punk scene, skater punks especially, so he often tours alongside punk/hardcore bands.
Tommy is the one who brought me to Memphis and locked me in….I’ve been listening to rap religiously since the 80’s…the last 3 years all I want to bump is Memphis
Bro I'm from Memphis and was a teenager at the time when Tommy Wright]]] was doing his thing. He was so raw and had the true Memphis sound. He also made most of his own tracks
Mane I tell people all the time Memphis got legends that do but doesn’t get the proper Recognition and Tommy is definitely one of them rip Princess Loko too
This is pretty accurate. Gangsta Boo ran with Tommy too before linking up with Paul. I’m sure a lot of people are surprised both of his parents are deaf.
"the bloods want me dead because tjey think im a crip, and the crips want me dead because they think im a blood" will always stick with me as one of the craziest bars ever, i forget which song of his it was but i love his music
You left out the part where tammy wright stole the manson family name while lil jack was in jail, didnt pay artists, or that he started dissing lord infamous after he got him started, & continuing to do so even after his death in a vain attempt to become relevant. Calling him a pioneer is laughable. He never originated anything.
Not a surprise since he dissed Eazy despite being influenced by NWA. Come on, dissing Eazy and Infamous after their deaths when he never met one of them and the other provided support early in his career. The dude is talented without a doubt but shutting in deadmen for hype is wack and disrespectful af
@@albertwesker5674 maybe I'm missing just a little bit. The only time I recall TWIII dissing Eazy E was when he was dissing Bone, Thugs, n Harmony in Thuggish Ruggish Bustas, where he said that he hoped that BT&H get AIDS and die like Eazy E did (with Eazy E being BT&H former manager). Was there a time TWIII dissed Eazy E directly?
@@bb-double-yuh he def taking it out of context he was dissing bone because of what they said about memphis,also lord dissed tommy on his song 6 feet deep.
