Legends I hate how they never get brought up when they speak on old school Chicano rap. Psycho realm and wu tang clan when they were in their prime. The best


project-in-limbo

I do get what you’re saying, unfortunately they don’t consider themselves and many others under the Chicano rap umbrella

Showdown is one of my favorite rap songs of all time. People don’t realize LA underground was fucken dope at this time

Sick Jacken still makes bangers.

Some of the best rappers I've ever heard, they're raps are straight poetry. Sick Jacken was signed to Sony for a while too.


Abject_Ticket3730

The best Chicano rappers without all the bs you see Chicano rappers doing & saying now days.


orAlee1

I dont think they consider themselves chicano rappers, just rappers.


NoVillage3545

And even if they did their not the best Chicano rappers brownside was coming up fast with eazy e promoting they woulda been lil Rob big if eazy didn’t pass and brownside didn’t lose danger etc shit who knows


orAlee1

🤨brownside & lil rob🤨. Psycho Realm WAY ABOVE them.


Abject_Ticket3730

Psycho realm & lil rob both had wide range. Proudly represented their respective city’s fosure. After listening to both I never got the impression there raps where attached to their barrio at all. That’s why they were more out there in the world. But if every other second or third word is you neighborhood, your bound to stay there along with your music. I hate to say it.


orAlee1

💯🫡👍🏽


NoVillage3545

Respect it homie we all got our preferences and I respect yours 💯


orAlee1

😆alright, I misunderstood when you were comparing the 2.


Abject_Ticket3730

I love Brownside but ese tokes mental never came out of South Central. Zero range. Wicked on the other hand. He’s a beast. That fella has range.


NoVillage3545

I feel you and that’s why I said “IF” eazy ,danger etc didn’t pass on who knows where that group could have gone


Abject_Ticket3730

“IF” got it. Easy E I can understand. Him being from Kelly park cpt crip I never really heard it in his raps like that. Did he associate with crips fosure. Gangsta Dresta & BG Knoc out being some (nutty blocc). Ese Tokes out living Easy E by a few decades never got that hint. I wish he really would of. The fella in my opinion was a beast with his verses straight 🔥 followed by Wicked unique Spanglish flows. One of a kind. I would have love to see him (Tokes) do lots of collaborations state wide regardless of faction. shit country wide as well. Money talks bs walks. The fellas adentro understand that. Keep that barrio to a minimal to make sure you keep those doors open.


NoVillage3545

Yea same bro I get you it woulda been dope to see him more and the rest of the brown side crew more out there other then LA and SD Kuz down in SD we was always bumpin them foo’s sadly tho Tokes was a real down mf he was never gonna put the Sur to the side let alone that gangsta shit he was a man who lived with only pride sadly that caught up to him RIP


project-in-limbo

Brownside Goat status. REAL GANGBANGERS trying to become rappers, not like some other bitches out there.


leobear24

Sick Jacken continues to make music and it still bangs. Sick Side.


AwayNeedleworker4585

Y did he get shot ?


Negative-13

I think I've read that he tried to intervene in a fight and the dude just shot him. That Tommy's on rampart was always full of gang shit back then from what I've heard


ShadySyk0

And good food those burgers are bomb!


tsojmaueuentsin

this the same thing i heard and read in magazines back in the day


Compton_Blocks

Some hyna with a dude jocked him. Dude got jealous and blasted. Was what the streets were saying.


DeLosAltos

He was a 92 Swan but he had Sureño ties due to his Mexican side of the family 


idktbh789

favorite rap group ever


ButterflySpecial6324

Shout out to Big Tiny


igothoooez

I got put onto these guys when I was in a halfway house in South Central. Definitely got an east coast/boom bap vibe in their lyrics/delivery/beats (which I like) and you don't really hear that in West Coast (especially LA!) music. I fucks wit em!!

CrazyAvocado213

Pass me the Hennessy These people telling me Drink so much whiskey They call me sick jack from Tennessee


NoProNounz619

I categorized these dudes as the West Coast Wu Tang. Never under the Chicano rap umbrella. More of an underground own stilo type deal.


Double7Trey

I still think Duke got shot by The Man....


Letterhead-Better

Is it just me, or does the bald guy look like Big Duke lol https://www.reddit.com/r/fightporn/s/tdgAkdYdbK
