It's like the commercial white man came in and stole all the good rap, then turned it into pop-rap (and I'm white!). I've listened to Cypress since album one -Skull and Bones was somewhat ok, the rest are better though. This Cypress album AT LEAST still tries to stay somewhat true to old school and not this new "happy rap". What did all the ganstas move out of the hood and into the suburbs? You'll be hard pressed to find the old school still trying to do this.
