With all the fall-out in the wake of last year’s traumatic Roc-A-Fella break-up, perhaps it was inevitable State Property weed carriers the Young Gunz would get lost in the shuffle.
After all, their bag’s proprietor, Beanie Sigel, had no shortage of problems of his own, serving a short prison stint while having his album released by the woefully inept and possibly now-defunct Damon Dash Music Group.
Hence, I wasn’t exactly shocked to read in today’s Mixtape Monday column at MTV that the Young Gunz have fallen on hard times and have actually moved back into the same houses they grew up in, in Philadelphia.
Shockingly, the group’s second album, Brothers From Another, didn’t perform well commercially. Their record label, Roc-A-Fella, refused to release a second single, after whatever their first single was tanked.
“I blame [the label] but I also blame ourselves. We didn’t get in the streets and bust our ass with [promoting the album] like we did Tough Luv,” sayeth bag handler Young Chris.
Lord knows it can be tough for a young weed carrier these days without the bag’s proprietor around to lend guidance and support.
I’m actually suprised that the original “Young Gunz” (aka Mount Vernon’s YG’z, aka the gully dudes who jumped Pete Rock a bunch of times) didn’t hunt these kids down and beat them like a red-headed step-child.
wow, they didn’t even have money long enough for us to laugh about it on behind the music. if they were famous enough, that would be a five minute episode.
I have no idea who these people are or what their music sounds like but I guess their demise is funny enough.
However, going back to the mom’s house shouldn’t be that bad. Ironically, after recoupment I’m sure that most fast food managers probably make just as much as a mid-level rapper with a slightly decreased chance of dying because of gun violence.
yoo these my niggas kid thats fucked up they gotta move back in the hood 4real cuz i fucks with young chris he nice i called him the young jay-z cuz he got that flow ya digg!!!
^^^ Dukes stay off the rocks neither of these weed holders can hold a mic next to Jay Z?
[…] Since Beans got locked up and the Roc deteriorated into sensitive thug bickering the group seems to have dissolved completely. Most of these dudes have returned to the Philadelphia mixtape/street dvd scene that they were birthed from. The Young Gunz are apparantly living with their Moms. Peedi (who, as mentioned before, isn’t even on this album, but is a very good rapper) looks to be pinch hitting for Dice Raw. Free is “signed” to G-Unit (but with the way things are looking over there it’s a safe bet that his album’s release date will fall somewhere between Helter Skelter and Detox) while Beans has been catching beat downs from their sixth stringers. So I’d say the likelihood of another State Prop record is slim.
