It wasn't 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:33.079 a lot of females like like how it is now. 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:36.120 There was a select and everybody was that you had 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:40.120 the New York girls, you had like you know, the 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:46.400 the Kims and and live from Jersey and Light and 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.600 things like that. That's when I was growing up before 0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:53.240 I'm like when I'm still ramming a hood. But then 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:57.240 there's me Eggs and Gangster Ball and they was in 0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:00.960 the South, and then they had Rage and the Boss 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.639 and they was in Cali. And then you had Brad 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:05.160 and them from Chicago. So it was like it was 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:08.000 like very regional when I was coming up.
