Hip-Hop Saved My Life

I remember when I was younger and I first heard hip-hop come out of some speakers. I was hypnotized. I can't really explain it. It took over my soul and I wanted more.

This was the time I use to be out in the streets being a bad boy before Biggie Smalls. Hanging on the corners, up to no good. I thought I was tough and a ladies man. Wrong! LOL! If it wasn't for Hip-Hop being on the radio at night, I'm not sure where I would be. Jail or dead.

I would record at night when rap would come on. If anyone knows the radio stations that saved my life in NYC, comment below. I recorded on what they call cassette tapes and a boom box. Look them up KIDS. My friends at the time use to get mad at me for missing all the night time action.

I'm glad for Hip-Hop. It saved my life. Many of my friends either were killed, locked up or injured pretty badly for trying to be a gangsta. My path changed, thanks to legends like EPMD, L.L. Cool J, Fat Boys, Salt and Pepa, MC Lyte, Public Enemy, KRS-ONE, De La Soul, Slick Rick, Dougie Fresh, Nas, Jay-Z, Biz Markie, Rakim (Read his book), Run DMC, Whoodini, Grandmaster Flash, DJ Kool Herc, Sugar Hill Gang and more.

Thank you pioneers of Hip-Hop. I love and respect your journey's. It's making my journey pleasant, happy and enjoyable.

I'll be reviewing albums, talking about the evolution of Hip-Hop and everything in between. Please support, share my post and leave good comments. Thanks in advance.

I know you don’t do many press features, and this is a wonderful chance for your fans to learn a bit about you while still keeping some of that mystery. I truly appreciate it. Peace, G. I’m grateful for this opportunity! - G Fam Black Questions & Answers: 1. Are you originally from Brockton Massachusetts? And where are the best places to eat? Absolutely, I was born and raised in Brockton. There are plenty of great food spots here. For the best chicken, I’d recommend “Yas Chicken” and “Birdies Hot Chicken”, which are both fantastic. For breakfast, I have to mention “Alexander's Family Restaurant”. They’ve been around since I was a kid, and their omelets are incredible. For pizza, “Cape Cod Cafe Pizza” is the way to go—it's the best bar pizza in the world, a true South Shore Massachusetts specialty. A lot of towns near Brockton brag about having the best bar pizza, but th...
