But on some real shyt...

I lived in Philly for 20 years. I've been in Chicago for 3.

I have my apprehensions about both cities. As mentioned before, philly has no gangs; I never feared being in any part of Philly, however you'll get banged by someone who you took the parking spot someone else shoveled out in the winter.

On the other hand, Chicago is gang heavy...there's about 4-5 neighborhoods I won't be caught dead in. Tell me why when I first moved here, I damn near made the mistake of living in Englewood...
Yeah as someone who has lived on the east coast my whole life, moving to the Midwest took some getting used to

Gang culture is so big out here,

The shyt is legit depressing .

15 year old boys who weigh 130lb soaking wet with assault rifles, but you go to they crib and there ain't no food or furniture in the house .

Probably.

I don't know how similar they are to the Baltimore white hoods. White dudes in Philly call each other nikka in a casual conversation just like we do.
This is true, I know of communities where whites and blacks grow up together just like blacks and hispanics in NY.

Philly and the surrounding areas full of white boys lke this




I fukk with my white boys heavy I ain’t gonna lie :russ:, it’s unpopular on the coli but it’s always been all love with them where I’m from

South Baltimore has white hoods. Philly is the only other place I've seen that.

Philly is just a bigger version of Bmore. Only difference is Philly has motorcycle gangs and the mafia.





Straight up White trash too. No "White hood" dudes.

In the Silver Lining
I'm guessing the murdered are mostly all black men. Think of the dreams deferred, the potential wasted, the families that were never created, the brief lives of brothers whose contributions to this world will never be known. Our desensitization to the wholesale slaughter of black men is very disheartening. :francis:

Wonder how many were fathers?

not surprised. those places especially philly and baltimore are POOR AS fukk. you can just feel it in the air driving through certain parts where it goes down at. i know back in march 2017 when i drove from dc and drove off 95 then driving around west baltimore, it went from being 17 degrees and freezing to it feeling like 50 and springlike weather. :whoa: i knew shyt was NO joke when i saw some tinted chevy malibu which was probably either the cops or some drug lookout driving around REAL suspiciously near me. it was dark outside too like 7 at night. i tried to turn myself around to go the other street and back on the highway then saw the same car driving the opposite direction on some :demonic: shyt and i was like :sadbron: awwww... hell naw, time to go back on 95 and hauled ass.

When I first visited Baltimore I thought it was nice I was at the seaport. Took my car out to go on a drive like the urban freak I was and shyt got real literally 2 minutes into my drive.

I did a little walking from the seaport to some Dominican barber to a nearby area.

Went to a party shyt was ghetto as hell and fun. All I know is i saw a group of girls ready to fight and I think the knickname of their captain was “Brooklyn”.

East coast Lit!

Sounds like you were in Fells Point and went a little too far north.

You can go into a lot of those neighborhoods and nobody with bother you. I hang out down Mcolluh Homes, and you get the occasional yuppie or bohemian white person walking thru there every once in a while... Nobody bothers them. nikkaz definitely get shot over there tho quite often.
