![]() The idea of Lou Rawls having hit records with these kind of songs in the mid 60’s is pretty wild. (I realize that it’s a violation of copy write for me to reproduce these lyrics without the consent of the owner, let em sue me if they wish….) However I just found them and I thought I’d share. All of the rappers who ever made a dollar talking about “ghetto life” on record OWE LOU RAWLS.Ĭuz Lou did it when it wasn’t cool to do it…Įarlier today I was unable to find these lyrics. ![]() Songs about “ghetto life” have been a staple of rap music for 30 years. – “Dead End Street” (about living in a ghetto in the North) – “Tobacco Road” (about living in a ghetto in the South) I think that he was the first artist to have crossover pop hit records about what it is like to live in the ghetto!!!
