3 people having a conversation that makes a lot of sense (excerpt)
Posted by Alexander under Screen
. Big Smoke: "A lot of people say gangster rap is misogynistic posturing by fake-ass idiots who spend more time in drama school then they ever did pimping or hustling dope. Well I assure you, OG Loc is the real thing. He’s hated women all his life, he sold drugs to school children, he’s murdered innocent people just for kicks, but he rhymes like an angel. And I assure you, it’s all in a good cause. So either way, you could feel good about yourself listening to this music."
. Lazlow: "Well that was very informative. Big Smoke is doing a lot for the community, or to it. He sounds like a great guy. So I wanna get in on this rap thing. Do I have to breakdance, y’know, do the windmill? Hey, can you body pop?"
. Loc: "Come on Lazlow, you know OG ain’t no playboy. I ain’t down with that shit. It ain’t gangster. I walk the walk, you know what I’m saying?"
. Lazlow: "Fresh! Yo, I’m down! I’m into walking too, but, I was thinking maybe we could have a break-off. I could spin on my back…"
. Loc: "You bein’ funny?"
. Lazlow: "I’m tryin’ to be."
. Loc: "Watch it, fool. I warn you, I got the streets. I got arep. Me and my man Smoke, we took over. I’ve been gangbanging since Iwas three. Ice-cold killa!"
. Lazlow: "Excuse me? Gangbanging!? I never understood that, I mean, other guys in the room while you’re-ugh!"
. Loc: "I’m ice-cold bitch! Don’t make me dump on you, g! I’mthe streets man, I am gangsta! I’m taking rap in a whole new direction.For now, it’s about making words rhyme, and I’m going toe-to-toe withyou in a minute."
. Lazlow: "Why do you rappers get so worked up? You’re rich.You’ve won. Stop shooting at each other. You know, and you keep saying,’I'm from the streets.’ Well you know what dude, everyone has a streetin front of their house, that doesn’t make you cool."
. Loc: "Oh, we got a comedian, huh? You got scraps, huh, bitch? You down? You mark-ass-bitch-punk-trick-busta’-fool?"
