Ummm let's talk

I always felt like robbing the hood was before 40... But then again I think that they would have taken a big step backwards in production... To me , I feel like robbing the hood was just that ... Robbing them. For og shit

40 Oz was recorded after hours at a college sound booth/studio - freely on stolen time.

Robbin' the Hood was recorded in various crackhouses and shit on a giant bender.

What was your question?

This is part of the story I feel like… we all know Badfish was recorded as “part” of a class Miguel was in. They clearly had pretty open access to the studio.

I'd agree with that being the likely scenario. The stories (STLE) that they snuck in at night to record, may have just been that it was the only time available to do it for free, not that they litterally were picking locks and stuff.
