    Mexicans and The N-Word In Hip Hop

    For a while this has been a subject I wanted to address. I've heard all the excuses as to why Mexicans should say it, but none have been convincing. Recent events surrounding That Mexican OT's entitlement when it comes to the word has come into spotlight. And just like that, his 15 minutes of fame has been overshadowed by controversy. List to the history of the word among Chicano hip hop artists, the rise in popularity, the backlash and the conspiracy behind it.

    Brownside - "Eastside Drama" (1997) [5 Minutes of G-Funk Review]

    Originally published for the 4th of July weekend, I dropped the long awaited review of "Eastside Drama" by the legendary and infamous Brownside. I would like to dwell deeper into this album because there is sooooo damn munch to say about this project that both DJs Tony G and Julio G had a major hand in developing for the streets. This is a staple in every Chicano's library and now you get to hear the G-Funk Junkies take on it.
