Chicago was worst back then, and more dangerous, because it was organized crime, think about 53rd and State Robert Taylors and Cabrini Greens and Stateway Gardens and Dearborn projects, etc. most of the projects got knocked down and very few got renovated, the feds stopped the organized gangs and gave them life in jail, and many got slain, I grew up in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000's and many of my friends got murdered. And there was no social media and news cameras was scared to arrive because folks was busting bullets at the cops. Now it's just dumb because the board members of the gangs are locked up or dead and its less guidance! So it's worse in the sense of being organized with leaders keeping things in check and in order, in that order. These youngsters don't have OG's teaching them and mentoring them like it was when I was growing up. Shout out to 50th and saint Lawrence and 47th and Michigan and the Rosenwalds, shout out to chicago as a whole! Peace!
عبد الرحيم بلال I'm from the low end too, 47th. I've lived all over the Southside and in the 90s back then 900-1000+ murders a year was common. It was definitely more violent. Maybe the ages of those being murdered today might be younger though. Before I go Low End or no End!
Think Man U demonstrated one of the biggest problems right there w ur comment....u just couldn’t leave a comment without having to shout out ur hood and put it above all the rest
All of em need to get life. That gang shit stupid af senseless man.. losing life over bullshit as Creed's and laws... Death is only the beginning.. Christ is Lord repent
Do names like, al Capone, Bugs merand, Frank nitty, the Chicago Mob, the st Valentine's day massacre, ect. Ring a bell to you? Chicago has always been gang land.
That's here in the whore of babylon amerikkk,that's why the children of Judah is under the curse of Deturonmy 31-17 For many evils and troubles shall come UPON them,we're chosen once but now forsakan descending this time ? Lord Forbid INTO the bowels hadi tartarus styxx hell abyss etc TakeHeed Oh Forsaken BLACKMAN just like ,when you cried out coming into this world Again You shall leaving MUCHMuchPrayer is needed!
Twista.. Definitely in my Top 5 of G.O.A.T's..He always Spits...Rapid, 🔥🔥 Lyrics, with words clear and understandable. Other MC's may have caught up to his rap speed, but NONE of them can do the intricate patterns he does. He is a Grand Master of that Style. Twista has to be a "12 degree Black Belt in Speed Rap Lyric Spitting."
Dutch Leaf what the hell does dead eyes look like, i keep hearing people say that but there eyes look the same as everybody else, i dont see the difference
Matthew Ferland No It DONT the media is about the agenda of fuckery and controversy!! FUCK THE MEDIA we don't condone, respect, or accept none of your wickedest kind!!
Say man I love what twista had to say about the young generation in regards to there view and approach to rap music. Over the years we have had garbage ass rappers, but you always had those special talents that have come through out the years to change the game and start a new style. Just because I was raised on 90's rap music, don't mean I have a right to judge the new styles of music. We quick to call these young cats garbage when they really got something to say if you listen.
Being born and raised in Chicago this man is a Legend funny story I went to NY in the end of 1999 I brought all of Twista's music with me nobody heard of him at that time about 2 years later maybe three he was signed to Rockefeller I was like I told you all he was super raw
Twista have always and always will be one of my favorite rappers he in the my top five I got all of his CDs damn near and I still listen to him right now today wow this man is truly talented salute to your brother from one Chicago brother to another Chicago brother keep it 💯
I think people forget that speed rap was the original mumble rap. People said, "they ain't even saying real words. They just mumbling/rambling over the beat."
Im 32,and I remember goin on a make a wish with my brother back in 96 and ppl warning us about which places to go and not go way back then.Chicago has always bn violent.that's not new.
KrayzieBoneThe GOAT If this is Really Krazy Bone, Homie you don't need to be anyone's body guard, your MC skills are superior enough to pay the bills. Loved your fire verse. On Lil John 'We don't giva F...k'. I graduated high school with Mr. J lil John Smith....Class of 89..F. Douglass High
Best explanation of how mumble rap came to be by Twista...made since to me how my parents didn't understand the shit I listened to like outkast, DMX, PAC, twista, Bone, Eminem.....now i don't understand how theses kids listen to mumble rap...
All fanboys Are retards contrary to what the media wants you to believe Chicago isn't even on the top ten most violent cities so stfu matter of fact Florida number one so fuck you and the ppl who liked your bs comment
Coconut Jive People go hard on Chicago bc of Obama....no other reason, the media attention on Chicago turned up during his campaign and now Chicago is all black inner cities smh
I used to work at home run inn as a waiter wich is a pizza restaurant in Chicago he always used to come in with his boys and he always showed love to his fans he's a private person don't talk much. D rose used to come in for pizza and eat in his car by himself because everyone was trying to take pictures with him
When i was younger in the 80s the only gangs I heard about before I heard of the crips and bloods was the Folks and Vice Lord's and Black Peace Stones Mickey Cobra's and other Chicago sets
Starting @7:23, is the realist thing I ever heard from anyone, describing how older heads feel about young rappers and their sound. I'm one of those older heads..I come from the erra of : NAS, RUN DMC, WHOODINI, SALT N PEPPA, WUTANG CLAN, SNOOP DOG, 2 PAC, BIGGIE, BPD, RAKIM, BIG DADDY KANE, 50 CENT, X CLAN, DIGITAL UNDERGROUND, QUEEN LATIFAH, M C LYTE, AUDIO 2, NICE N SMOOTH, SPECIAL ED, A TRIBE CALLED QUEST & THE JUNGLE BROTHERS...My hip hop vault can go on for days..bottom line is, this erra of rap sucks to me.I don't like or understand it..I came from erras of greatness, as listed above. And can't make sense out of what's going on today.. Perhaps, I am getting up there in age...But I know what I like to hear in rap music also...I remember when people who used to listen to SMOKEY ROBBISON, THE TEMPTATIONS, EARTH WIND AND FIRE, TEDDY PENDERGRASS, ARETHA FRANKLIN and so much more..They thought rap music was wack! They wasn't feeling it..They didn't understand that, just like they controlled the sound of music as youths in the 60s and 70s, so did those youths who controlled the hip hop sound in the 80s, 90s and 2000s. I won't go deeper..But Twister, definitely explained it in such a HIP HOP FOR DUMMIES, clear and to the point way!! the gate keepers of the sound and style of music, always has been and will forever be in the hands of the youth....dope interview...
When u grow in the hood after seeing so much death u just become immune to it so I feel Twista when he says he never felt like leaving shit happens and it is what it is
When your whole crew of bodyguards are deep in the streets it make since they got caught up. Stopping hiring your homies with gun permits an hire real security with background in protection.
Twista, aka rap God!, Dude is a lyrical genius, he absolutely right about old rappers, the sounds change over time and the conjecture are different, only a few artist then, and now have a purpose, and that is to influence the youth to progress their self!.....
Glad someone else sees the evolution of rap the way I do. I hate how rap is genre because rapping is an action. Is there a singing genre? No, there is Country, Rock, R&B, Pop, etc. So why do people continuously try to fit all rappers into one genre? Makes no sense.

I grew up in Chicago where his adrenaline rush album went gold with no radio play👊🏿 twis is an icon for me

Exactly...tf?
Yea that seemed hella inappropriate! No kinda tact smh
Yea. He definitely wanted to slap the shit out him
Hella insensitive
This man is so legit. No hate in the man's heart. Nuff respect..
Why we never see Twista, Timbaland & Dream in same room as each other?
Mike Everall that would be a crazy collab tho
You might be on to sumn boi lol
That makes no sense
Triplets
Because they're the same person?
Person being interviewed: They killed and set on fire my entire family and all of my friends
Vlad: yeah, it's a sad situation man
2907ryang how do you think slim Jesus would have dealt with such a thing?
I think you got that backwards Vlad said they killed your body guard slit his throat and set him on fire 🔥 Twista (nonchalantly) yeah.
Well, it is a sad situation.

Twista so underrated

Finally a vet in the game that understands that rap has different branches just like rock does.
Do names like, al Capone, Bugs merand, Frank nitty, the Chicago Mob, the st Valentine's day massacre, ect. Ring a bell to you? Chicago has always been gang land.
Exactly. Violence in Chicago is nothing new.

No, "speed rap" has actually words and lyrics. But everyone's mind isn't quick enough to grasp.
Twista humble ass hell 👍🏽
Twista is a legend
Twista's perspective is on point.
Twista was this generation back then. Mtf's couldn't understand him, e40 or Tech9 but they birth a whole nother underground culture in rap...🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

D rose used to come in for pizza and eat in his car by himself because everyone was trying to take pictures with him
Cringe: When Vlad tries to act black by sayin "kna mean?" LOL
Twista smart asf
He high to death
When i was younger in the 80s the only gangs I heard about before I heard of the crips and bloods was the Folks and Vice Lord's and Black Peace Stones Mickey Cobra's and other Chicago sets

Angel serrano this nigga don't never have bay area artist on here but be yelling that bay shit
Twis tripping
Louisiana always ALWAYS had its own sound
vlad actually pronounced it "Chi" instead of "shy"
Twista right chi in the 90's ....crazy....
Hip hop is dead as fuck! RIP.
Love Twista.. thanks for this vlad
I'm a little annoyed by the way Vlad pronounces Chicago. Good interview though, Twista is a very intelligent brotha. ChiTown
I hate how he says Twister instead of Twista
When u grow in the hood after seeing so much death u just become immune to it so I feel Twista when he says he never felt like leaving shit happens and it is what it is
is Vlad the police? sounds like interrogation type interview
All his hov collabs are classic
Waka Flocka is now lyrical
XYX this generation, yep
Husture that's insane
lyrics are dead nowadays
Twista. Legendary rapper PERIOD!!
so vlad a Chicago historian expert
When your whole crew of bodyguards are deep in the streets it make since they got caught up. Stopping hiring your homies with gun permits an hire real security with background in protection.
"...yeah..."
-Twista
I love Twista always have always will
Vlad: Chicago violence is pretty violent huh
Random rapper: uh yeah it’s pretty violent.
Vlad: I know man. It’s sad.
BigSwag500 lmfao
Twista is one of my favorite rappers and this midwest best he is kanye west level very interesting interview and all his points are so relatable
Twista, aka rap God!, Dude is a lyrical genius, he absolutely right about old rappers, the sounds change over time and the conjecture are different, only a few artist then, and now have a purpose, and that is to influence the youth to progress their self!.....
Chief keef look up at the sky and the look at the interviewer and say I'm like a god in Chicago
Glad someone else sees the evolution of rap the way I do. I hate how rap is genre because rapping is an action. Is there a singing genre? No, there is Country, Rock, R&B, Pop, etc. So why do people continuously try to fit all rappers into one genre? Makes no sense.
Twista speaking truth
Just came from look at me music video and that shit deep 👏🏽🙌🏽

My man twista moving his hands like Lu Kang
