About MC Breed:
Breed was the rapper,which I always remembered only as that guy who made the song ''Gotta Get Mine'' with 2pac,and also by his song,''Ain't No Future in Yo Frontin''.But I wasn't the only one.Those two songs are his most famous songs,and I know many hip hop fans who have only heard about these two songs by MC Breed,(although I heard some of his other songs recently,and they are pretty good).As for my general opinion about him,I can say that I always looked at MC Breed as a typical 90s rapper by his style,and every time I wanted to ''go back'' in the 90s,I listened to his songs,especially,''Gotta Get Mine''.Not just because of 2pac,but because Breed was great too,and they both made that song the hip-hop classic.It's interesting to mention that MC Breed was born just 4 days before 2pac.Although I must say that,to me,he looked much older than 2pac.But that's irrelevant.It's more important to say that,is sad how one more 90s rapper,died before his old age.Although I got to mention that,at least he wasn't killed,like many other rappers were.But still,it was a lil' bit of shocking to me,as a hard hip hop fan,when I found out that he died.Especially knowing that he was a friend of 2pac's.
