Besides intentional differences in dress and preferred weekend social activities, a major defining characteristic of each group was their musical choice. Whether it was the rap blaring out of a low-riding Honda Civic or the twanging guitars pouring out of a Chevy pick-up's windows, individuals and groups often used music as a projection of their identity.

Sadly, the quality of ODB's recorded voice is so bad it sounds like he phoned in his rap from prison, and pairing the explosive ODB with the smoked-out Snoop Dogg is like mixing oil and water...
