About Mr. Cee:
Well,now it's the time to talk a lil' bit about,less famous rappers.Even though Mr. Cee was one of them (except in the Bay Area),that doesn't mean he was a bad rapper.It was just the opposite,he was a great rapper who died way to young (22 years old),to make a bigger career,and was coming from a town,which at the time wasn't so related to hip-hop.Nevertheless,real hip-hop fans will know him as a member of the rap group,''RBL Posse'',(RBL is short for Ruthless by Law),along with the Black C.They made hits like,''Bammer Weed'',and ''Bounce to This''.From the group's 5 albums,Mr. Cee participated in the first two,before he was murdered.He was from the San Francisco district called,Hunters Point.And how dangerous it was,you can conclude by the fact that,along with Mr. Cee,his successor in the group,Hitman was also killed in 2003 in the same hood.Knowing that,the only member of the RBL Posse that survived,Black C,was to wounded in Hunters Point,or to be more precise,he lost an eye,in a conflict.That can easily be seen in the RBL Posse music videos.In most of them he wears a blindfold over his right eye.That danger,that surrounded them,made me feel compassionated to them,and that was so interesting.To me,that was the real gangsta rap.They weren't lying,or making up the stuff in the songs about the dangerous things that was happening to them.They really were happening to them.First song I heard from RBL Posse,was ''Bounce to This'',and since then I am a big fan of the RBL Posse.It made me really sad,when I found out that Mr. Cee was murdered,so at least I can make this tribute to him.
