Everywhere I read about the ghetto its always filled with all the bad  things, the crime, violence, desperation and corruption is all you ever  hear about concerning the hood. Well I am here to tell you that that’s  just one side of the coin. Being a kid in the ghetto is allot like being  a kid anywhere. 99% of the time a child is free to play, run, do flips  on mattresses, all kind of really fun stuff. When I was little I had an  imaginary friend named Marlow but after a week of playing with him I had  to end our friendship because his dumb ass got my bike stolen. I told  him I had to pee and to watch the bike for a minute till I came back  outside, of course when I came back the bike was gone. Marlow aint seen a  dam thing of course, just like everyone else in the hood. Criminals in  the hood don’t kill a witness, that’s a myth; if there ever was a such  thing as a witness in the hood then the gangsters hunted them to  extinction. I always knew he set me up to get my bike stolen, can’t  trust nobody in the hood, not even when they are imaginary. I got a  whooping over that bike, shoot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have been allot of different  places in my life but none compares to the good-times that the ghetto  provide, I’ll give you a few examples of the differences. If you live  anywhere other than the ghetto and smoke cigarettes but don’t have no  money, well you just out of luck. If you live outside the ghetto you  have to worry about terrorism and crap and if you need a stick of  margarine but no loot you just have to eat dry toast. If you live in the  ghetto you can walk 100 feet in any direction and a terrorist will sell  you a cigarette from a open pack for a quarter and a stick of butter  for 50 cents. You can even trade in pornographic books at the 1/10th  price bookstore. And one of the best perks of ghetto life is that  everything is always for sale in multiples. In white area stores one  soda is $1.19 in the ghetto they are either 2 for a dollar or 3 for a  dollar. White areas sell meat separately for high prices, in the hood  you take $50 and get a 25-pound meat deal with meat for every dam meal  ever invented. You get breakfast sausage, lunchmeat, dinner ¼ fryers and  even late night snack wieners. They even throw in something free like a  two-liter soda or a dozen eggs, and then they deliver it. The ghetto is  the best place in the world before some ignorant nigar come and mess it  all up. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That’s the bad side of the ghetto and 90% of the reason  for all the negativity, poor black folks hate anybody that isn’t as  poor as them or as dumb as them, it don’t really matter what you got  that’s better than them, you will be hated for it. If you got a slick  car, you better have a slick gun. If you got a slick house, you better  have a slick gun. If you have a slick gun, the way police fill quotas  you better have a slick lawyer or plan, aint no such thing as “home  security” in the hood as far as police are concerned. You got a gun, you  got a problem, but we got so many problems anyway that we all still got  a gun in our house. In the ghetto it ain’t but a few hard fast rules,  1. if you hear shots and you aint shooting….run. And 2 if you new to a  hood know everybody or nobody, aint no middle, cause you will have to  choose sides sooner or later. And its real easy to get shot because  everybody got something to prove, never did nothing to nobody don’t mean  nothing in the hood. And some people can be as ignorant as the first  artificial intelligence beta software. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other day I saw a  little 3-year-old girl almost get ran over by a car. The mother was 50  feet away on the phone and apparently forgot she had kids crossing the  street with her??? But it turned out good because the baby did not get  hit, but the thing I remember is that the mother was looking at the  driver like it was his fault, if looks could kill that man would have  died right there jolly on the spot. That’s the type of crap you have to  deal with in the ghetto. Misery truly loves company down here, but  happiness gets shared easier too so it all evens out.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;The modern state of Cameroon was created in 1961 by the unification of two former colonies, one British and one French.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Since then it has struggled from one-party rule to a multi-party system  in which the freedom of expression is severely limited. &lt;/div&gt;Cameroon began its independence with a bloody insurrection which was suppressed only with the help of French forces. &lt;br /&gt;
There  followed 20 years of repressive government under President Ahmadou  Ahidjo. Nonetheless, Cameroon saw investment in agriculture, education,  health care and transport. &lt;br /&gt;
In 1982 Mr Ahidjo was succeeded by his  prime minister, Paul Biya. Faced with popular discontent, Mr Biya  allowed multi-party presidential elections in 1992, which he won.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1994 and 1996 Cameroon and Nigeria fought over the disputed,  oil-rich Bakassi peninsula. Nigeria withdrew its troops from the area in  2006 in line with an international court ruling which awarded  sovereignty to Cameroon. &lt;br /&gt;
In November 2007 the Nigerian senate  passed a motion declaring as illegal the Nigeria-Cameroon agreement for  the Bakassi Peninsula to be handed over to Cameroon. &lt;br /&gt;
Internally,  there are tensions over the two mainly English-speaking southern  provinces. A secessionist movement, the Southern Cameroon National  Council (SCNC), emerged in the 1990s and has been declared as illegal. &lt;br /&gt;
Cameroon  has one of the highest literacy rates in Africa. However, the country's  progress is hampered by a level of corruption that is among the highest  in the world. &lt;br /&gt;
In 1986 Cameroon made the world headlines when poisonous gases escaped from Lake Nyos, killing nearly 2,000 people.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;10  years on, it sure is great to have the Funk Doctor Spock and Ticallion  Stallion back together. We’ve had some decent solo albums in the  meantime, but the chemistry between these supremely talented blunt  brothers has always been one of the very best to come out of the ‘90s  golden era.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Heads  have been seeking out the new material for a while, and&amp;nbsp;although this  album is admittedly not quite as anticipated as Raekwon’s imminent &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Cuban Linx&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt; sequel, the original &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Blackout!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt; album has stood the test of time surprisingly well – and their&amp;nbsp;debut 1995 single &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;How High&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt; is a certified classic.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;On  first listen this album sounds like it really could have been made ten  years ago. With a mouth-watering producer line-up of ‘90s hit-makers  such as DJ Scratch, Erick Sermon, Havoc, Rockwilder, Pete Rock etc. the  listener will find it virtually impossible not to bob their head  throughout this feel-good set. Top choice is the lead single &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A-Yo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;  With an uplifting soulful groove provided by Pete Rock, Red &amp;amp;  Meth’s humourous and boastful verses perfectly compliment Saukrate’s  breezy, anthemic hook – with the right push this could have easily been  as big as Lupe’s &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Superstar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Dangerous Mcees&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;  is produced by long term Reggie Noble cohort Erick Sermon and rings off  like a banger, with the duo trading tight lyricism and the chant "game  over" to anyone testing them, while equally hard-hitting is Rockwilder’s  cut &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Hey Zulu.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Additional strong tracks include the pulsating, pitch-changing &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Errbody Scream&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt; with Redman’s fellow Hit Squad alumni Keith Murray on classic form, and the Isley Brothers-sampling &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;City Lights&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;  featuring UGK’s Bun B (which is the most modern-sounding cut on the  album, utilizing a downtempo vibe and sample-stabbing hook suited to new  schoolers like T.I. or Weezy). Another highlight is the Ghostface  Killah and Raekwon collabo &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Four Minutes To Lockdown,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt; which feels like a vintage slab of mid-‘90s Wu action. Also deserving a mention is &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;I Know Sumptn,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt; a King David-produced track designed to get people on the dancefloor and cutting some shapes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Blackout! 2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;  contains enough punchlines, witty one-liners, brags, put-downs,  blunted/ drunken-party antics and general lyrical dynamics all  complimented by consistently high quality production, to keep heads more  than happy. The only negatives would be the non-memorable guest  appearances from newcomers scattered throughout the set, and a few of  the more pedestrian (albeit far from wack) tracks like &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Neva Herd Dis B4, A Lil’ Bit&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt; and opening track &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;I’m Dope N----.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;  That aside, this album is an essential purchase for Red &amp;amp; Meth  fans, and is more than a worthy purchase for those new to the duo’s work  and open to witnessing two of hip hop’s greatest emcees still enjoying  the ride&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/519951313622379639-475992034570286891?l=bldtime.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
