Rapospective; The Unfortunate Understudy | Above the Law - Livin' Like Hustlers (1990)
Rapospective; The Unfortunate Understudy | Above the Law - Livin' Like Hustlers (1990) Spearheaded by a prodigy who was developing into one of hip hop’s first two-way artists, Above the Law stood out in a growing gangsta rap realm with their blend of the hustler life with hard rhymes and beats. Signing a deal with Ruthless Records, the home of the emerging group N.W.A, was a major boost, and their debut, 1990’s LIVIN’ LIKE HUSTLERS, would successfully kick off the beginning of a critically impressive group. However, Above the Law would also have to contend with label politics and the comparatively overwhelming success of their like-minded label mates. #abovethelaw #livinlikehustlers #cold187um #kmg #nwa #ruthlessrecords #drdre #icecube #eazye 00:00 Intro: The Hutchinson Family Pedigree 01:47 The Rap Game or the Crack Game 07:40 Dr. Dre as Cold 187um's Mentor 08:39 LIVIN' LIKE HUSTLERS Review 15:41 How "Gangsta" Can One Get? 18:57 Doomed to Circumstances 20:56 Outro: Understated and Underrated ABOVE THE LAW SERIES: Livin' Like Hustlers (1990) • The Unfortunate Understudy | Above the Law...

Rapospective; Menace to the Free World | Convicts - Convicts (Rap-A-Lot records 1991)
Rapospective youtube channel Constructed behind a trail of destruction from the Geto Boys, Convicts—consisting of Big Mike and Mr. 3-2 —was the next group from an ascendant Rap-A-Lot Records. But with their debut (and only) album, a self-titled LP released in 1991, they were more than just another troublesome unit from Houston. The Convicts, true to their name, were primed for enacting absolute terror: whether in the pen or in the so-called “free world.” And their often overlooked audio statement proved to be a little more influential and groundbreaking than it’s given credit for. #convicts #rapalotrecords #5thward #getoboys #bigmike #mr32 CHAPTERS: 00:00 Intro: Welcome to the Free World 02:28 Preparing for the Pen 03:00 CONVICTS Review 15:48 Out of Time for a Second Album 18:14 Outro: Parole Denied SELECTED REFERENCES AND RESOURCES: Billboard.com. https://www.billboard.com Caldwell, Brandon. “One Day: Remembering Mr. 3-2, The Governor & Wicked Buddah Baby.” Houston Press.

Rapospective; The D.O.C. Attempts to Resurrect His Rapping Career with HELTER SKELTER
Rapospective youtube channel This video is part of the D.O.C. series. Watch the full playlist: The D.O.C. Has His Promising Career Crash and (Nearly) Burn with NO ONE CAN DO IT BETTER. Once a star on the rise with a sterling debut completely scored by a budding all-time production great, The D.O.C. had his dreams dashed with a fateful car crash in late 1989. Five years later, disillusioned by the ruination of his voice and being made to work in the background with little to no credit, The D.O.C. bolted, taking along with him the fruit of his labor and cutting ties with his mentor, Dr. Dre. His sophomore album, HELTER SKELTER, finally landed in stores in 1996, with his misfortune turned into a dystopian landscape. But The D.O.C., with his new record, had a lot to contend with: a superstar producer who accused him of stealing the title and concept for his upcoming pet project with Ice Cube, his bitterness toward his former comrades and collaborators, and a public not thoroughly convinced that the man with the “golden voice” was indeed back with it. #thedoc #helterskelter #noonecandoitbetter #drdre #nwa #icecube #deathrowrecords SELECTED REFERENCES AND RESOURCES: Crowe, Jerry. “The D.O.C.
