It's a rhetorical question, right? 2Pac loved his Mama though, so I dunno.

could be young jeezy. he's built a career on being from the streets..and then there's this:

"Mom's smoking rocks, same shit I'm selling/ So who's wrong, her or me?/ She addicted to the high, I'm addicted to the cash/ Almost put my hands on her when I caught her in my stash."

I'd have said DMX until I noticed the tipoff about his mama. Ghostface's mom used to whip him with a strap, but he talks as if he deserved it.

psst, there's a wrongly-apostrophed "its" up there

also, zip up your fly

is it the fresh prince?

Gotta be Tupac. Everything else about him is an illusion.

you know tu pac grew up in (wealthy bay area suburban county) Marin?

I'm most amused by the Post calling Diddy a "rapper".

I don't know about when he was in the bay area, but Tupac was legitimately poor / not well when he lived in Baltimore. I went to the same highschool as he did and heard various stories from teachers, etc, and met him when he came back to do promo with BET for his debut album. (this was fall of '91). Word was that he was extremely talented and they were really upset when his mom pulled him out his junior year...

I took one of his old text books too....booyaaaaaaaa

It's Mef Tical, y'all. Dude grew up playing lacrosse. "What the blood clot" indeed...

@ass-hat: Considering about how much he complains about his parents not understanding, I'd say that's certainly possible.

"You go to school to work, not for a fashion show."

@TheMojoPin: pretty sure Meth lived in Hempstead at some point in his HS years...if he picked it up there, then his cred's still intact. I've heard urban legends about all or mostly black lax teams from Hempstead & Roosevelt LI since the 80's.

Why isn't anyone saying 50 cent? Too easy?

@dutchtwista:

Granted, yes...but it's still lacrosse. That's like anti-cred.
