Aint No Future in Yo Frontin



Flint, MI rapper MC Breed passed away from kidney failure at the age of 36 yesterday. While Breed isn't in the same echelon as other MCs who have passed on, his two biggest hits will live on in Hip Hopper's lives. In 1990 his debut hit single, "Ain't No Future in Yo Frontin" came on the scene with a huge bang. It introduced people to the late 80s term 'frontin' and incorporated a west coast funk two years before The Chronic hit.

His second hit, "I Gotta Get Mine" was perhaps even more of a classic. Tupac's guest verse stole the track and coined the "mind on my money, money on my mind" phrase that is used in our lexicon to this day.

That was some sad news. I got out his first album, and also 20 Below, out to listen to last night. He had moved here to the A in the 80's, but still rep'd the D. God bless the brother for his unique style.
