If you add 'the' to some of those other dude's names they kinda sound like superhero sidekicks -- the berner! the husalah! the jacka!

unrelated: maybe this is a completely stupid observation, but I was noticing today how K.R.I.T. does that southern drawl thing where he drops hard syllables from the ends of various words ("love" becomes "luh", "world" becomes "wurl" etc. and yes I know loads of southern guys do this) and it struck me as being remarkably similar to African pidgin english

seen devin live twice.first show was incredible, him by his lonesome at his first NYC gig, tight quarters.Spankrock opened and were basically booed off the stage and devin was received rapturously.he was solo and handed out marrygwanna to everybody for like the first four songs and was basically incredible.i got hella paranoid. it was still probably a top ten show for me.second show was about two years ago and he did a gig with the odd squad that was less well attended at a larger venue and felt more like a standard rap gig. less w33d too.i would recommend.

thought "80 Blocks From Tiffany's" was kind of a weird name but I guess its the title of a badass 1979 documentary:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFeqKAIHAYw
"Director Gary Weis was still working as a short film creator for Saturday Night Live when he came up with the idea for80 Blocks after reading a Jon Bradshaw article, “Savage Skulls.” Published in a 1977 issue of Esquire Magazine, the piece centered on two gangs based in the South Bronx at the time — the Savage Nomads and the Savage Skulls. Weis became infatuated with the story and, soon after striking up a dialogue with Bradshaw, he convinced SNL producer Lorne Michaels to help him produce the film. Just two years later, in 1979, Weis and Bradshaw brought a camera crew to speak with members of both gangs, along with police officers, community activists, and civilians.Despite its role as an important and unflinching portrait of a profoundly interesting time in New York’s cultural history, 80 Blocks was, for many years, impossible to find, only briefly available as an educational VHS release in 1985. In the years since its initial release, the documentary has gained an overwhelming cult status. With little to no news coverage over the decades since its release dedicated fans continued to buzz about the film. That buzz grewexponentially via the internet, which provided fans a common platform to fondly look back not only the at documentary itself, but the era that it captured so vividly."
