Bush's gangsta side!

  If I came back in the past, I would like to come back in the 90’s in USA. 

At the beginning of the freedom expression by minorities in Compton in Los Angeles neighborhoods.

 I wouldn't wish to be like them but just to be able to spy on them. I find their lives interesting, attractive. 

Indeed most of those young people have things to daim and to denounce.

 They are often minorities : black people, latino, chinese. 

That’s why rap or hip-hop is one of their way to express themselves. 

Rap was born in the 70’s/80’s. 

It’s considered as a street poetry. 

But in Compton’s neighborhoods, there is the birth of the gangsta rap. : young people daim their way to live, their injustices and the existing inequalities. 

 This gangsta rap helped true artists to come out of the dark like Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Nate Dogg, The Game, YG and the first group that started it, NWA with Easy E, Ice Cube and Dr Dre. 

They are the first one developping a way to express themselves thanks to their music, for example : Fuck Tha Police. 

No one before them allowed themselves to go against the police in front of the all world. 

They are not well treated by them, nobody wanted to hear them except by listening to their musics. 

Nowaday, those musicians are businessmen and musics directors. 

                           

Despite all these claimings there’s also a gang’s war in those hard neighborhoods. 

In Compton, we can see two distinct gangs : The Bloods and the Crips. 

We can recognise them by signs, colors ; The Bloods wear red clothes and the Crips wear blue ones.

By gang’s war we can hear weapons and drugs traffic. 

There’s often young people’s disapearance, killing…

The rappers already quoted are also a part of those gangs. 

They step ahead their signs and use punchlines to answer each other during rap battles. 

It’s a very important historical moment for me because this is the beginning of the gangsta rap and its evolution, the starting of a kind of freedom in their lyrics.

It’s the music that I personaly listen to and the history that we can find behind is a really big deal music’s history for me. 

I also recommend you gangsta rap music that I love very much by my favorite artist, Snoop Dogg.
