I think Homeboy Rap started sliding off even when woodie was around. Homies from my areas were slowly starting to not bump some homeboy shit bout 5-10 years ago..
I think that's just because when GUN came out, albums started becoming all banged out. And you can only listen to the same topics so much before you want to take a break from it. I remember the time you're talking about. Gente went from from bumping Northern Expozure and GUN to Messy Marv and Mac Dre. The same people that were telling me that they were tired of listening to Tokztero and Woodie back in the day and jumped on the Thizz bandwagon, are now listening to Salineros.
@Gemini i think mad dog got 7 years or something in like 07 or 08. once he was gone the whole DED camp died out too. I like bear and hugh heff but havent heard shit since the Northern Cali stomp
Louie Loco was on my last compilation that I put out 3 years ago. We recorded it at No Remorse's studio in San Jose. Cool dude. He put out an iTunes album the year after but then disappeared after that
