J.R Writer and Ike Eyes are also present, but I dunno if the other blokes are big-time NY drug dealers who were a crucial part of the rap landscape at the time like Killer Ben, Rap Supreme, Kelvin "50 Cent" Martin et al in the Paid In Full posse picture, or just a bunch of weed-carrier's weed-carriers? Whoever the other goons may be, this JPG is more important to the overall history of New York rap than 97% of the music to emerge from NYC thus far in 2014.
And so here's a generic list of 10 A-Mafia songs that are 2000 light years better than Bobby Shmurda's Hot N*gga but which weren't afforded the same level of attention/support because A-Mafia can buy beer legally and NYC is a city run by Ken Kaniff & Cyril Smith type creeps. As FEAR nearly once opined and Das Racist recently proved, New York's alright if you like sex offenders:
A-Mafia - Hell For A Hustla (2003)
A-Mafia - Everywhere (2004)
A-Mafia & 40 Cal - 40th Boys (2005)
A-Mafia - 1000 Grams (2010)
A-Mafia - Love Train (2011)
A-Mafia ft. 2 Chainz - Real Live Pro remix (2011)
A-Mafia - Wayne Perry (2011)
A-Mafia - Realest N*gga In My City (2012)
A-Mafia - Story Of My Life (2012)
