^ very true.... but it all depends how you do it... if you can reminise your past without sounding all gangsta, then its ok...

hmm.....i think you only really need street cred for 'gangsta rap'...but what is gangsta rap? and why do we care....i mean like g said you are going to have to do something to get noticed....but what kind of artist would you be if you made up an image just to be heard? stay true to you fuck street cred if you deserve to be on you will be simple as that.

^^ yea totally... I deffently aint gangsta, I like guns and shit, collecting them, shooting targets and shit... but i've been doing that from the age of 11... I didnt even know about drugs, crime, ect back then... I love guns but i'm not going to go out killing people... and yea with rapping, I used to write a bunch of shit about killing people, but not in the last 6 months I havn't, I write about my problems... btw my 16 track mixtape is coming up, haha
