LOVE DON’T LIVE HERE NO MORE by Snoop Dogg and David E. Talbert

It was the eighties. The summer of 1989, to be exact.

Hip-hop was conscious. rebellious. Stronger than the blackest cup of your mama’s black coffee. Public Enemy was barreling through the airwaves. “Fight the power. We got to fight the powers that be.” But no matter how much conscious rap we were listening to, niggas were still wildin’ out, especially me and my brother Bing…. We were on one, living life the only way we knew. In the streets as much as we could be for as long as we could, or at least until somebody’s grandmama came running out in her houscoat and pink slippers, chasing us away.
