Behind Every Gangsta There Is A...

This week, an interesting observation was made by a fan of this blog, Mr. Mike Hill.  He commented, "Behind every gangsta there is a gangsta bitch hoe." This statement cannot be argued, therefore it is an absolute fact. Now, Gangstaplaid does not enjoy disparaging females and all that, but once one puts a rag on one's head and carries firearms and swears profusely, any gangsta male or female tends to lose all credibility.


Anyway, for the observation made this week, Gangstaplaid presents a Youtube video from the acclaimed Album 'Ghetto D' by Master P featuring the lovely Mia X. The song is called 'Plan B', however this plan b has nothing to do with birth control or emergency contraception. No, this would be considered degrading if one were not a gangsta.


This song wasn't the most popular track off the 'Ghetto D' album, but with lyrics like, "...Causing Major Pain on this dope game, You be Hallie Berry, I be the ghetto Damon Wayans...", Gangstaplaid fans are left to wonder how could America have been so wrong?

Again, thank you Mr. Hill for your observation.

Is Compton the Next City to File for Bankruptcy?

(Just in case one cannot read the Old English font in the title of the post,) Is Compton the Next City to File for Bankruptcy? This was the headline from the Los Angeles Times. It is the opinion of Gangstaplaid that there should be a tax on real muthaph###in' Gz before the City of Compton would be allowed to go forward.

Happy Friday Gangsta!

Yeah, like you didn't know that I was going to put this on here on a friday.

Fourth of July Jubilation Continues

No, Kanye! This shi cray!

This is from the CD, "The Final Tic", by the rap group, Crucial Conflict. It's called "Hay." Happy Fourth of July! I once was listening to this song some time ago, and I swear it was the Fourth, and I was seeing fireworks at 3 in the afternoon. Like I said before, this shi CRAY!

Since It's 4th of July

I am going to be more playa playa today and display a song from the sensational group, The Luniz, from their debut album Operation Stackola, "I Got Five On It". This CD has great album literature by the way, in which there is a dictionary of Oakland-based hip-hop slang. Again, Enjoy!

Friday Is A Gangsta Mellow Day

Enjoy this nice jam from back in the day, it is Ice Cube's, "It Was A Good Day". When you don't have to use an AK (47), I must say, it is a good day. Have a GREAT weekend little gangstaz!

Sometimes Our Minds Do Play Tricks On Us

The Geto Boys were a rap group from Houston, Texas, consisting of Scarface, Willie D, Bushwick Bill, and D.J. Ready Red. They earned notoriety for their lyrics which cover controversial topics such as misogyny, gore, psychotic experiences, and necrophilia. Despite this, critic Alex Henderson argued that the group "comes across as much more heartfelt than the numerous gangsta rap...wannabes who jumped on the gangsta bandwagon in the early ’90s."

"Mind Playing Tricks on Me", featured on their 1991 album We Can't Be Stopped. The lyrics used within describe various mental states such as hallucination, delusion and paranoia. The sample used in the song is 'Hung Up On My Baby' by Isaac Hayes from his 1974 film Tough Guys. It was the only number-one Hot Rap Singles ever released by the Geto Boys. It reached #23 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it the highest charting single by the Geto Boys. It was also certified Gold by the RIAA.

My personal favorite part of the video is when Bushwick Bill is beating up the guy and then he realizes its all in his mind. The previous post "Damn It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta" was also sung by the Geto Boys.
