When I was kid, and even now, we would see those planes in the air leaving a trail that would spell things out like LOVE or make dope designs in The sky. Usually it was during summertime you would see this. And usually the streets would heat up, fights, guns, aggression etc… Later I heard that those planes were leaving behind chemicals (chemtrails) that would make ppl violent. Not sure how true it is but I wouldn’t doubt it. Google “Chemtrails” when you get a sec.

My relly(relative) EMJ (Michael Anthony Jones)

Common who is considered by many a “conscious rapper” made a song called the corner. he was also signed to good music which relates back to the kanye/consequnce line.

a simple complex play on Big Mike’s last name Concepcion\Conception.

the crips started roughly around 68, 69. i was born in 82

The Nickerson’s, which is a blood hood, is essentially surrounded by crip hoods. So if you look at a map it looks like a bucket of blood if you color it in. That’s what they called in the 70’s.

In the streets everyone is one body away from being “famous”. Think of the pantheon of Mt Olympus but replace the Greek gods and goddesses with the street greats. That’s the image I had in my head when I wrote it.

7 niggas changed the course of the nickerson’s history. there were 7 original members of the Bounty Hunters which started in the Nickerson Garden Projects circa 71. its pieces i have to leave out to protect the guilty and or innocent.

O'Solomon was part of a group called The Watts Prophets which formed after the 1965 Watts Riots. They fuse funk and jazz with poetry which in it’s essence is Rap Music. The subject matter dealt with daily like in the hood. They also form The Writers Workshop for kids interested in the arts in the inner city. They says the FBI burned down the building as part of the counter intelligence program (look up COINTELPRO). So for some they were the original rappers along with The Last Poets and a few more groups.
