USIN' THE WORD "THUg"

HEY BO, WHY? YOU MAKE YOURSELF SEEM LIKE YOU FOLLOWIN' A PLAYED OUT TREND AND AT THE SAME TIME MAKIN' YOURSELF LOOK SEQUELISTIC AND FAKE. IF YOU'S A RILLA, THEN WHY LABEL YOURSELF SOMETHIN'?

MAN,
I WAS ASKIN' C-BO, CAUSE LIKE I SAID THE WHOLE ESSENCE OF THE WORD IS FAKE. EVEN HOMO-SEXUALS IN NEW YORK CALL THEMSELVES "HOMO-THUgS" TO MAKE THEMSELVES LOOK HARD(I READ ABOUT THAT SHIT IN THE SOURCE). BUT I'M A RILLA FROM THE STREETS SO NOBODY CAN TELL ME SHIT. UNLIKE BO, I AIN'T gONNA LABEL MYSELF WITH A WORD THAT IS PLAYED THE FUK OUT AND AT THE SAME TIME DEgRADE MYSELF. I SAYS MINE WITH RESPECT. BUT LET ME ANSWER ALL YAW RESPONSES:

PLAYA510,
YOU STRESSED, "YOU KNOW BO AINT GONNA RESPOND, I DONT THINK HES ON HERE MUCH AT ALL,"

WHAT A SHAME. IF I WAS A FAN, I'D BE DISAPPOINTED.

THEN YOU STRESSED, "THE NAME THUG IS PLAYED OUT TO ME, BUT I LIKE THE NAME THUGLORD,"

YOU gOT THE RIgHT IDEA. BUT N-E-THANg WITH THE WORD "THUg" IN IT IS WEAK, WAK, AND UNORIgINAL.

THEN YOU STRESSED, "ITS JUST SOMETHING NEW WITH A TWIST AND THE MEANING SEEMS LIKE SOME HIGH RANKED MAFIA CAT BUT INSTEAD MEANING KING OF THE STREETS OR SOME SHIT LIKE THAT."

HE COULD OF CHOSE A BETTER NAME THAT DEMANDED RESPECT.

REIgN,
YOU STRESSED, "Thats some stupid shit to ask a thug, niggaz been thug before it was a fucking trend!"

51ST OF ALL,
FUK A THUg. IF YOU'S A REAL MUTHA-FUKA FROM THE STREETS AND HOOD, WHY YOU gONNA DISRESPECT YOURSELF BY CALLIN' YOURSELF A "THUg"?

XNDLY,
DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT THE WORD THUg MEANS?

THEN YOU STRESSED, "Asking the wrong nigga that will get u fucked up 9 times out of 10."

YOU MUST THINK I'M SOME WEAK ASS MUTHA-FUKA THAT DON'T KNOW SHIT. I'M AN O.g 51ST HORTON gANg. I DON'T gIVE A FUK. I FEAR NO MAN. I DONE BEEN THRU TOO MUCH TO NOT KNOW WHAT'S CRACCIN'.

THEN YOU STRESSED, "Maybe the people u know that call them selfs thugs, r followng a trend and r fake, but i know a lot of thug ass niggaz that would be hot at that question like that."

CUZZ, CHEK THIS SHIT THE FUK ON OUT. THE MUTHA-FUKAS I SEE CALLIN' THEMSELVES THAT ARE EASTCOASTERS TRYIN' TO BE gANgSTAS, R&B SINgAS TRYIN' TO ACT LIKE THEY FROM THE STREETS AND gET LOVE FROM THE HOOD BUT AT THE SAMETIME, gET ALL THESE BITCHES THAT WANT A "THUg" IN THEY LIFE(CAUSE THEY WANT THE BAD BOY), AND SOME CONFUSED PEPSI gENERATION YOUNgSTAS THAT ARE ALL ON TUPACS NUTS. I NEVA CALLED MYSELF THAT AND NEVA WILL, CAUSE I AIN'T gOT SHIT TO PROVE TO NOBODY, AND THE DAY I DO, I'M JUSTIFYIN' THE WHITEMAN AND THE PREJUDICE MUTHA-FUKAS TO LOK ME UP CAUSE I'M ADMITTIN' TO THEY PARANOIA THAT I'M A NOTHIN' ASS "NIggER" THAT DESERVES TO BE CONSTANTLY LOCCED UP. I AIN'T THE ONE. I'M ABOUT SOMETHIN'. OBVIOUSLY YOU AIN'T BEEN IN THE STRUggLE, CAUSE THIS SHIT IS REAL TO ME.

ANTONIO916,

YOU STRESSED, "NIGGAS SAY BEEN SAYIN THUG IT AINT NO FUCKIN TREND. CBOS IN JAIL NIGGA"

TUPAC BLEW THAT WORD OUT OF PROPORTION. BEFORE THEN, NIggAS WASN'T SCREAMIN' THAT SHIT.

JAY DUKIE,
YOU STRESSED, "EDJ's mad cause callin him a thug would be like callin Micheal Jackson Black."

SHUT YOUR IgNORANT ASS ON UP. NOBODY ASKED YOU A QUESTION. YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A CLUE WHERE I'M COMIN' FROM.

THEN YOU STRESSED, "c-bo been down with thug shit before 2pac brought it to the mainstream... thats why pac wanted c-bo on his album."

AND TUPACS DEAD AND THE TREND IS PLAYED THE FUK ON OUT. C-BO SHOULD ELEVATE HIS gAME AND NOT FOLLOW PLAYED OUT ONES.


Yg HOgg,
YOU STRESSED, "thug 2 me is jus a soldier,gangsta,or real street nigga.& its not a trend its a way of life.thats jus my opinion tho"

DON'T gET THE gAME TWISTED. I'M PRETTY SURE A LOT THINK LIKE YOU, AND YOU FEEL JUSTIFIED BY SUCH LABEL. BUT AS A LOAKSTA FROM THE BLOK, I REFUSE TO LABEL MYSELF THAT. WHEN YOU A THUg, YOU A BROKE-ASS, NOTHIN'-ASS, PUNK-MUTHA-FUKA THAT AIN'T ABOUT SHIT. AND THAT'S HOW THE WHITEMAN WANTS US. BUT IF I AM IN THE PREDICAMENT, I AIN'T gONNA EMBRACE IT, BUT HUSTLE TO MAKE IT OUT MY SITUATION, WHETHA IT MEANS JACCIN' SOMEBODY OR SLANgIN' BOPS NON-STOP. BUT I AIN'T gONNA LABEL MYSELF A "THUg" AND DISRESPECT MYSELF LIKE THAT, LIKE THAT'S I'LL EVA BE IN LIFE. THE gAME OF LIFE IS TO ELEVATE.

LET ME ADDRESS EACH ONE OF YOU DIFFERENT AND ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS:

MR. MANOLO,

YOU STRESSED, "EDJ, didn't you refer to yourself as a Rilla, isn't that labeling yourself?"

YES I DID, AND LIKE I SAID BEFORE, IF I'M gONNA LABEL MYSELF, I'M gONNA DO IT WITH A TITLE THAT DEMANDS RESPECT.

BETTER YET, THIS IS WHAT I INITIALLY STATED, "BUT I'M A RILLA FROM THE STREETS SO NOBODY CAN TELL ME SHIT. UNLIKE BO, I AIN'T gONNA LABEL MYSELF WITH A WORD THAT IS PLAYED THE FUK OUT AND AT THE SAME TIME DEgRADE MYSELF. I SAYS MINE WITH RESPECT." THAT'S WHAT THE FUK I SAID.

THEN YOU STRESSED, "? Why do you think your the authority when it comes to banging and shit?"

CAUSE I'M AN O.g FROM MY HOOD THAT'S BEEN HERE AND THERE AND THERE AND HERE AND gOT TOO MUCH gAME TO SPIT, (gAME PERIOD) FOR SOMEBODY TELL ME DIFFERENT. BEEN THRU TOO MUCH HOMEBOY. AND I JUST SEE ALL KIND OF FAKENESS EVERYWHERE.

THEN YOU STRESSED, "Plus you sounding a lil corny reppin your hood on the net."

IT IS WHAT IT IS. I JUST LET IT BE KNOWN SO NOBODY CAN QUESTION MINES. IF N-E-THANg THIS BANgIN' HAS gAVE ME, I'M ENTITLED TO CLAIM THE FAME. LORD KNOWS I EARNED THAT RIgHT. DON'T gET ME WRONg, I DON'T FLOOD THE BOARDS WITH IT AND TALK ABOUT IT EVERY OTHA SENTENCE.

THEN YOU STRESSED, "You should teach a college course or something if your so intent on dropping knowledge."

THAT WOULD BE NICE, BUT MY TARgET AUDIENCE IS NOWHERE NEAR A COLLEgE CAMPUS. I'M BETTER OFF DROPPIN' THIS gAME ON THE STREETS AND IN YOUR TRUNK.

TREMENDOS,
YOU STRESSED, "edj are u a crip or blood because u keep using the double c but you be finishing alot of shit with K that aint how real crips do!"

THIS IS HORTON gANg. WE AFFILIATED WITH RIPS BUT IT'S A.K ALL DAY. IT DON'T MATTER WHAT YOU IS NOWADAYS. EVEN WHITEBOYS IS CRIPPIN' IT. SO WHAT THAT TELL YOU ABOUT THE gAME? AND I SPELL SHIT HOW I WANT. YOU SEE ME SPELL N-E-THANg WITH A "C" THEN A "K"? ALRIgHT THEN.

M-TOWN CRIMINAL,

YOU STRESSED, "yea i mean...i think u shouldnt give a fuck what the next dude is "lableing" himself.....it isnt affecting you one bit...."

HOW YOU KNOW WHAT IS AFFECTIN' ME OR NOT? I'M CURIOUS TO CUZZ'S REASONIN'. LET HIM ANSWER THE QUESTION.

THEN YOU STRESSED, "and yea u lable yourself a "rilla" and a "loaksta"...well..whos to say you aint doin the same shit?.."

SO WHAT'S DEgRADIN' ABOUT CALLIN' MYSELF THOSE TITLES? THOSE TITLES LETS YOU KNOW STRAIgHT UP THAT I'M A REAL MUTHA-FUKA FROM THE BLOK, VERSUS A TITLE THAT IS PLAYED OUT AND IS A DEgARDIN' FACTOR AND MAKES THE gAME SEEM FAKE. IT IRKS ME TO SEE THAT. I'VE BANgED SINCE SOME OF YAW WAS IN KINDERgARTEN AND NOT ONCE DID I EVA DISRESPECT MYSELF BY USIN' THAT WORD. NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'S THE TREND TO CALL YOURSELF A "THUg" TO APPEAR LIKE YOU HARDCORE, SO YOU CAN HAVE ALL THE BITCHES? EVEN WEAK ASS WHITEBOYS AND FAgS IS CALLIN' THEMSELVES THAT TO TRY TO gAIN SOME RESPECT, SO WHAT THAT TELL YOU? THE SHIT IS FAKE. THE gAME IS FAKE, FILLED WITH CAKE ASS NIggAS TRYIN' TO REAP THE REWARDS THAT REAL MUTHA-FUKAS LIKE ME DONE DID TO PUT IT DOWN. IF YOU WANNA KEEP IT REAL, I HAVE THE RIgHT TO CALL MYSELF A "THUg" IF I WANTED TO CAUSE I DONE DID MY DIRT, BUT I AIN'T gONNA DISRESPECT MYSELF, AND LET OTHAS DO IT. I ALSO AIN'T gONNA TAP DANCE LIKE A JIgABOO EITHA. AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT MUTHA-FUKAS IS DOIN' WHEN THEY LABEL THEMSELVES "THUg".

THEN YOU STRESSED, "..mufuckaz have there own meaning for "thug" just like most black people say "nigga" without givin two shits about what it originally meant...so whos to say that aint what they doin with the word thug?"

EXACTLY. THAT'S WHAT THEY DOIN'. IgNORANCE IS BLISS. BUT AS LONg AS A MUTHA-FUKA LIKE ME IS ALIVE, I'LL MAKE SURE MY VOICE IS HEARD AND DISPELL THE IgNORANCE.

P.K RIPPA
YOU STRESSED, "why are you just asking bo?"

CAUSE IT WAS A LONg TIME COMIN'. I DONE TALKED ABOUT THIS SUBJECT IN DIFFERENT FORUMS AND THIS NIggA STILL CONTINUES WITH THAT(SOMETHIN' I'M TOTALLY AgAINST), SO I THOUgHT I'D ASK HIM WHY IS HE DOIN' IT IN HIS LABEL FORUM.

^TOO MUCH gAME AND REALNESS. A DEEP THINKER AT THAT.
