X-RAIDED to Siccness...
"WHAT UP EVERYBODY? IT'S YOUR BOY X-RAIDED. I'M GETTING FEEDBACK THAT YALL WANT THAT 1996 X-RAIDED. I GIVE YOU MY WORD; IT'S COMING. I'M GOING TO GIVE YALL AN X ALBUM ON THAT SICCNESS SHIT. RIGHT NOW WE'RE DOING UNFORGIVEN 3 AND IT'S MORE OF A VICIOUS ALBUM. ALMOST ON SOME VENGENCE IS MINE SHIT. I'M TRYING TO ESTABLISH MYSELF AGAIN BUT I DO HEAR YALL AND I WILL GIVE YOU THE ALBUM YOU WANT. WE HAVE THAT ALBUM IN THE CUT. MY VOCALS ARE RECORDED AND SAVED. WE WANT THAT TO BE THE BIG BANG SO WE'RE BUILDING UP TO IT.
WE ARE TALKING TO STRANGE MUSIC RIGHT NOW, TRYING TO SIGN A DEAL TO PUT OUT MY SOLO SHIT. IF WE GET THE DEAL DONE, WE WILL GIVE THE SICCEST SONGS TO STRANGE MUSIC FOR MY OFFICIAL ALBUM ON A MAJOR COMPANY. FOR STRANGE MUSIC, WE SAVED ALL OF THE SICCEST MATERIAL. UNFORGIVEN 3 IS AN ALBUM THAT YOU WILL LOVE BECUZ IT'S BANGIN FOR THE WEST COAST LYRICALLY AND STYLISTICALLY AND IT'S 100% NEW MUSIC. WE WILL SHOW YALL SOON. WE GOT GANGSTA REESE WORKING ON HIS "BEST OF" ALBUM AND C-DUBB WORKING ON HIS SOLO, PLUS UNFORGIVEN 3. WE WILL BE PUTTING OUT THREE ALBUMS THIS YEAR. WE AINT'T FUCKIN AROUND OVER HERE! BLOC STAR IS PUSHING FOR REAL. WE HERE TO STAY.
BLOC BIZNIZ WAS TO ESTABLISH MY TEAM. WHY HATE ON SOMETHING MEANT TO REP ON YOUR BEHALF? YALL WONDER WHY THE WEST IS "DEAD" AND COMPLAIN ABOUT NOT HAVING ANYONE REPPING FOR YOU, BUT WHEN WE PUSH AND DROP MUSIC, YALL COMPLAIN ABOUT IT NOT SOUNDING LIKE 20 YEAR OLD MUSIC. SUPPORT BROTHA LYNCH. SUPPORT C-BO. SUPPORT T-NUTTY. SUPPORT X-RAIDED. HELP US SUCCEED SO WE CAN BE STRONG ENOUGH TO MAKE THE MUSIC YOU WANT. STOP HATING. SUPPORT FILTHY RICH. THE HOMIE RODE FOR ME WHEN EVERYONE ELSE WAS JUST TALKING. HE DID THE WORK. BE PROUD OF THAT NIGGA. CHEER FOR HIM. HE HAS MADE HOT BEATS. "GO 2 CHURCH", "BURN WIT RAIDED", "ASSISTED SUICIDE", "WHO WAN CONTEST", THESE ARE NOT WACK BEATS. QUIT HATIN'.
IN ORDER FOR US TO WIN, WE HAVE TO COME WITH MUSIC THAT CAN BE COMPARED TO WHAT IS CONSIDERED HOT RIGHT NOW, NOT 20 YEARS AGO. YOU CAN'T TRAP US IN THE PAST. WE WILL SATISFY YOUR DESIRES FOR A CERTAIN SOUND FROM US BUT THIS IS ABOUT MAKING MUSIC THAT CAN TAKE OVER THE WHOLE GAME, NOT JUST 20 PEOPLE ON A MESSAGE BOARD WHO AIN'T EVEN GOING TO BUY THE ALBUM ANYWAY. IF YALL WANT THE WEST TO "COME BACK", BUY THE MUSIC. SPREAD THE WORD. LET OTHER PEOPLE HEAR IT. QUIT HATIN'.
MUCH LOVE TO ALL THE SUPPORTERS. PEACE TO MY NIGGAS: FILTHY RICH, GANGSTA REESE, C-DUBB, LEVIATHAN, LOKI, AND B. PARKER. MUCH LOVE TO LYNCH HUNG, T-NUTTY, LUNI COLEONE, AND C-BO. SUPPORT THE MUSIC AND STOP CRITICIZING EVERYTHING TO THE POINT OF HYPOCRISY. HELP US GET OUR MONEY AND POWER UP SO WE CAN ELEVATE THE MUSIC AND THE SOUND. WE GOT THE BEST FLOWS AND STYLES AROUND. THE RHYMES ARE DOPE. SUPPORT US SO WE CAN IMPROVE. DON'T HATE UNTIL THERE'S JUST NO ONE LEFT TO REP AT ALL AND WE'RE LEFT WITH NOTHING. IT'S 2010 NOT 1996. WAKE THE FUCK UP."
