UGK didn't hit in California, quote]
Ultimately though, what warms my heart is that the opinions of people like you who basically try to place their suburban-based rap perspective above urban-based perspectives are becoming less and less important by the day.
Soon, if we aren't already, we'll be calling Z-Ro a legend and an outsider like you will have absolutely no inkling as to why.
Personally, I like it that way.
Dude first things first you know nothing of where I grew up in LA or where I was hanging out since then. I've sat back and watched you type up hilarious shit about how you're an expert on the project blowed scene without any credibility. Who the fuck do you even know from there? and just in case youre wondering, having ngafish accept you as his buddy on MySpace does not make you "close" to anything
now that we got your little pigeonhole ideals back in check lets get it straight never once did I hear folks in East LA, Hollywood, Carson, West Covina, or even 43rd & Crenshaw preaching the virtues of UGK. You and your friens may have been gun toting hackeysack playing backpackers trying to be down with whatever scene you set up in your own mind garden but the reality was the 90's were not a time of UGK worship in Los Angeles. Shit belonged to death row, westside connect, cypress hill/ Psycho realm and all things related to the 3. I'll concede that Project Blowed held it down for a specific audience, but even local radio wasn't touching it and you damn sure weren't hearing ATU in the clubs.
I worked in LA record stores for years, I also worked for Meanstreet which served as both a label and distributor for a lot of the Priject Blowed shite you rah-rah about so much. I can cite my sources and where I'm coming from, can you?
Volume 10 explicitly shouts out UGK on his Hip-Hopera LP from '94.
Around that same time, Rap-A-Lot also made it a point to come out to the Goodlife in order to sign Menace Clan.
That's all I feel like telling your ignorant ass right now.
