4-Tay made his debut on the Too Short album Life Is...Too Short, right after high school. Later he was convicted on drug charges and served ten months in prison. Upon his release from prison he released his debut album Rappin' 4-Tay Is Back in 1991, and followed up in 1994 with Don't Fight the Feelin', which included the hits "Playaz Club" (which sampled the song "Private Number" by William Bell and Judy Clay and hit #36 on the Billboard Hot 100), the "Dank Season" featuring Seff Tha Gaffla and "I'll Be Around" (which hit #39 on the Billboard Hot 100).
Rappin' 4-Tay's mainstream success has been scarce since then, but he was featured in 2Pac's All Eyez on Me album on the track "Only God Can Judge Me" in 1996 and Master P's West Coast Bad Boyz II compilation in 1997. 4-Tay was also an original member of Bay Area supergroup T.W.D.Y. in 1999.
In 2003 Rappin' 4-Tay released the album Gangsta Gumbo with the single "Burning, Burning", followed up by the album That's What You Thought in 2007.

rappin 4 tay DESERVES more recognition!!!!!!! LIKE IF YOU AGREE
I'm 60 year old white man and I love this remix. I remember when this hit 1st dropped. I cried, cause the lyrics are real and meaningful. It still brings tears to my eyes when I hear it. All for the same reasons. The lyrics are true and DEEP ! The message is so real and I wish more people of all races would hear it and most of all, UNDERSTAND IT ! GREAT JOB 4-TAY !
my😂
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, and this should make you tear up even more - Fortay has been a crackhead for YEARS AND YEARS…sad, very sad
@@michaelfrazier899 So were DMX and ODB.. Plus KRS started his career while living in a homeless shelter! That doesn't detract the value of their art, by any means. There's a very fine line between insanity and genius. The truely artistic walk that razors edge. It's not uncommon to see the most gifted among us fighting more demons. Their character flaws don't take away any value from what they have to say.
Van Gogh is held in a high standard of art today. But he died a mentally ill young man considered a failure during his lifetime. He painted hundreds of things. But it took years for even 1 to be appreciated. And it wasn't until he had already came and gone.
"Remember to hear out even the lepers, and converse with the lowest of men. For some of you will find you are entertaining angels, unaware."
@@Phearsum exactly… some are quick to judge and I must admit I was one of them when I first heard about 4tay later in his career falling to drugs. Still one of my all time favs coming out the Bay Area next to E40.
I don’t really like these types of comments lol
He had the potential to be as big as Cube, Snoop, Short Dog, and 40. If you're here it's because you appreciate gems
Real talk, he was on All eyes on me, so that let's you know how big Rappin 4tay was.... homie was a legend
@@JamesJohnson-vk9en don’t forget he was also on a lot of Master P productions when No Limit records dominated the industry at one time.
@@JamesJohnson-vk9en Too Short - Don't Fight the feeling 1988. He sounds good on that.
Miss this style of rap..quote on every line..this is rap.this is poetry
We gotta allow that to come back
did you ever read any poetry??? They steal instrumentals and talk some trash, this is no art form....

I’m a rockrr myself, but feeling inspiration off such a perfect song is always beautiful music to the ears.
Empathy and truth. Love to everyone.
Semper Fi🇺🇸 and Slava Ukraini🇺🇦!
one of the very best hiphop songs of all time, real songs with real messages
Too bad a lot of people. don't know about 4-tay
+humblewarrior Yeah he speaks the truth just like Tupac!
I couldn't agree more.
humblewarrior yea that's the shit I remember
yea, plus no color in this he raps like a real man
One of the most underrated jams EVER
I remember at high school we once had an assignment to choose a song that meant a lot to us, that song would then be played during class. For me that was this song, and I can't describe how exciting it was for me to show it to all my classmates.

I would of played this dope track ua-cam.com/video/dQw4w9WgXcQ/v-deo.html

damn i wish this type of music would come back. This type of music got me through a bad day.
My mum is the least HipHop head you could imagine. And she used to love this song when I used to play it. She even took the CD and played it on her own. By the way she's still alive!
Cool mum
Cherish your Mum.
Most of all, repent and obey Acts 2:38.
Your mother has taste go Her and may she always be around 🎼🎵🎶🍻🎧😎
"So I'm doin what we call a roll call
Callin out the ones that want rap to take a down fall
I spit the street life, and then I go underground, silly?
It's call versatility, and I'll be around"
Great lyricism
i agree, this song was so underrated .. BOOM
Don't Fight The Feelin', such a classic album, nothing but bangers, no filler in the whole album.
