Lush One

I almost feel like I should read the AI overview again.

All right, all right.

Can I just say one thing?

Go to every hood in America right now.

If you hear any form of music besides hip hop, I would be shocked.

It is 90% hip hop when you go to the hood, when you go to the inner city, et cetera.

I know, but we can talk about the origins or we can talk about right now.

But like right now, streets means like gang related or whatever.

That has not always been the case.

That's what I'm saying.

But it was the music of the streets before the streets meant the gang shit or whatever.

It's the music of the streets!

Hey, can I just say that Lush is like a human AI because, look it, according to the AI, yes, gangster rap was significantly developed and popularized in Los Angeles, particularly in South Central and Compton during the mid-1980s with artists like Ice-T and N.W.A.

bringing it to Raw.

Street-focused narratives are the forefront, though pioneers like Schoolie D from Philadelphia also laid crucial groundwork.

No, I'm telling you.

L.A.

became synonymous with the genre due to its urban challenges, gang culture, police issues, and artist-direct lyrical accounts of those realities.

I think it's fair to say that hip-hop was created in New York, and then as it spread to the West Coast, it really kind of took on its gangster persona because the streets, the gang shit was more developed in L.A.

That became a crucial part of the music, and then that affected everybody on the East Coast as well, down South, etc.,
