Bottomless Pit (The R.A.V.E. rap)

This is a late 90s social commentary piece that bridges the racial divide while depicting the grim reality of the thug life. Little did we know that two students from Chapel Hill could speak truth to power in such a way. Some of you may recognize #27 as a friend of mine. Sadly, he has given up the free wheeling lifestyle, settling instead for family life. Who knows where he could have gone? Hopefully Rich can answer some of the burning questions we all will have. Like, who was the fly girl? and who scouted the location? and did Kriss Kross sue you for copy right infringement?

  1. I can only say that this short feature accurately documents my life on the streets circa 2000. We were known as "White Coffee" and "Black Ice" in those days. Sometimes you just gotta hustle to make ends ya know? I'm no longer bangin' and have turned my life around "360 degrees." I wanna give a shout out to God for the peace he has restored in my life, and my hommies in cell block 4.
