Here at The Plug we not too great with introductions so bare with us. There’s a couple things you should know about us before we get into this shit… 1. we HELLA bay. And 2. We do this shit for the culture. With that being said, we gone start off by saying THE GAME FUCKED UP. We not those hip hop/rap fans that fake care and wanna take shit too FAKE seriously. You know what fan I’m talking about? Got “hip hop head” in all their bios. Just discovered a Tribe Called Quest track two weeks ago. Favorite rapper probably Joey Bada$$. Favorite Lupe album probably Lasers. Nah nah… that’s not us. But we are low key a little sensitive about the culture. You damn corn balls got us bugging so much we decided to start a blog. A FUCKING BLOG DUDE. Now whack and dance music been around forever… ya ABC joints… ya rap wanna be pop shit… straight ignorant not spitting any kind of bars whatsoever… that’s all been around since the 80’s. Not gonna act like we don’t bob our head to whack shit every now and then.. might even mess around and start rapping/singing around. Shoot when the REMY IN THE SYSTEEEEEMMM you might think that whack shit our favorite shit, if it’s the right kind of night. You know what’s really wrong with this generation? YALL LET THE WHACK SHIT FLOURISH TOO MUCH. Like WAY too much. I don’t know what ya’ll grew up on… but one of our favorite rappers always told us… “I know it ain’t easy… rhyme spillin. but that’s no justification for rhyme stealin.” Ya’ll forgot that rule though. Worship and support all the biters and dickriders like it’s the thing to do. Ya’ll do ya’ll though. It’s like my mans Ghost said “the whack shit you enjoy don’t impact my life in the slightest way b” And by Ghost I’m referring to BIGGHOSTLTD, you can google him.. he kinda something like a genius/legend minus the constant thirst for attention and fame. He stopped blogging, but his twitter and instagram beyond fire--- you cornballs should do yourself a damn favor and read some of his shit. Anyways, here at The Plug we gone keep ya laced with real music sprinkled with some sports/fashion content. Whatever we feel is dope at the time. But our main goal is to bring this bay shit back. We all know everyday is DRE day, but we also got this little thing called #MACDREMONDAYS and since it’s Monday we thought we’d share
For those of you not familiar with the film, it’s based on the true story of Oscar Grant. Oscar Grant is a 22-year-old Bay Area resident who crosses paths with friends, enemies, family, and strangers. The film leads up to his last day of 2008 when he was shot in the back and killed by a police officer. Ryan Coogler (director) did an amazing job telling the story of the Oscar Grant case in his film, Fruitvale Station. Fruitvale Station focuses on some of the biggest problems we face in society today: police brutality and gang violence. Nowadays most of us don’t know what to fear most, our own people or the cops. The murder of Oscar Grant hit home for all of us and is a case we’ll never forget. What’s most disgusting about the Oscar Grant case… and the Eric Garner case…. Mike Brown, Trayvon Martin, Renisha McBride, Amadou Diallo, John Crawford, & Jordan Davis case…. is that it’s not like other murder cases. No one’s trying to find out who pulled the trigger. No one’s searching for the killer. The big question these cases focus on is whether an unarmed black person deserved to die. But this isn’t a rant about police brutality and the injustices we face that go ignored by those not of the minority group, every. damn. day. We want to pay respect and recognize a particular scene in this movie. Ryan Coogler didn’t only do a great job with Oscar Grant’s story, he did a great job telling the bay area’s story as well. If there was ever a scene in a movie portraying the greatest amount of accuracy towards the bay area and it’s residents, IT IS THIS ONE RIGHT HERE. This scene is personally my favorite, because whether you’re white, black, brown, purple, or stuck on a train about to miss the countdown to New Years… you play Andre Louis Hicks ANYWHERE in the bay area and this is literally what will happen. Here is a moment where a group of people of different ethnicities and backgrounds (this is BART everyday FYI) are put in a situation of both panic and fear, and the voice of just one Young Black Brotha brought everyone together. And suddenly, everything is alright. We hope you enjoy this clip and remember the life of Oscar Grant and the many others who have fallen to police brutality.
