"Decatur isn't Atlanta"- ying yang twins

[ISO]

Not true. Never seen a nikka say Yonkers or Mount Vernon ain’t NY.

My Gen don’t claim them or Long Island

It’s NY…but it’s not NYC

Atlanta is different from other cities. Ima let YOU tell somebody on Old Nat that they aren’t Atlanta.

When someone says they’re from Atlanta you gon get asked what high school you went to. Ima let you say some silly ‘OTP’ shyt to someone who went to Banneker

I don’t know fam im not from ATL. Lol

Union city yes but what about riverdale? And north Clayton county?

I look at atlanta like Boston; relatively small big city with a huge metro population. shyt I associate lake Lanier, Stone Mountain and the chattahoochie river with atlanta and they all are outside city limits.

I honestly can’t say. I just have family that’s been there for a long ass time lol

Man, I've been living out here for a minute now. I actually stay in Atlanta, but I be in Decatur. That shyt is one in the same as far as feel go. It runs right into each other. Ain't even a buffer or anything. They way they have the area spilt up is some weird shyt tbh.

NYC yea l see what u saying. But yea a lot of NY people are ignorant to the geography of the city all around. BK and Queens both on Long Island but ask an ignorant nikka and they think LI need a bridge. Lol

Those two are definitely some happy jolly country nikkas.

But I never understood how nikkas from Decatur be acting so hard when they come from a city that look like this..

You can do this with Philly & New Orleans too tho but we know they have trenches.

edit: please don’t misunderstand my post as celebrating abject poverty either. I’m all for nikkas moving on up & Improving their circumstances

I’ve been to Decatur and Decatur is a nice ass town. I’m from Chicago and it’s essentially like our Oak Park and Evanston. An inner ring, upscale, street car suburb.

Yeah, I pulled those photos because that’s how Decatur looks.

Yeah Decatur may have a low end (which I hadn’t seen) but it couldn’t possibly be a substitute for “the street” that some of these rappers like to give off.

Guess you've never heard of Gentrification. Most of the areas you may have heard rappers rap about in the early 2000's are completely gentrified now, especially around East Atlanta, Kirkwood, Decatur, etc. There's 300k houses in Bankhead now. Atlanta has changed drastically even within the last 5 or so years.

That’s just what Decatur looks like now… and that’s what’s been gentrified. There’s still a part of Decatur that looks like what you’re expecting. Furthermore, most cities have a more affluent area.

Fam I can do this shyt right in the Bronx and have u thinkin shyt sweet. Lol. This how nikkas get caught up by sleepin.

It’s like Savannah.. you’re in the touristy part then you drive down the street and see the hood. You can pick 3 pictures from anywhere and make the area look good lol.

I think the thing is that whole area north of 20, inside 285 and 75-85 is just different. Isn’t that Druid Hills? That shyt is very upscale, and the CDC and Agnes Scott College is up that way if I’m not mistaken. I’ve never really been out ponce de Leon and 78 way too much.

Where you from?

 

[desjardins]

You can’t even tell when Atlanta end and Decatur begin to be honest. It might as well be part of the city
I also didn’t see how Decatur was hood. I went to that Thumbs up out Emory and it seemed gentrified as hell
