INVADING SOHH CHAMPION
I lived in the 90's in the Murder capital of DC and most dudes wasn't active.
There were a lot of Tre's and Ricky's running around
I was a little brother of a goon but I got involved.
I'm sure that even on Lamron today most nikkas ain't getting shot super willy nilly like that.
Sure randoms get shot but if it was constant sliding then people would straight up abandon the neighborhood.
Boyz is way closer to reality than what a drill rapper says.
Remember crime is way down from the 90's everywhere even Chicago.
in the 80's nikkas was shooting at Police stations.
You stayed in DC.
DC is nowhere near California or Chicago. DC is free thought based. Chicsgo and la have and were highly organized and completely structured in that era.
Even more structured now.
in falling decline of said structures.
Than DC is currently.
Structure.
Even if not fully intact like a fallen skyscraper. Will still be shown or allude to given respect. A place that never had structure. Is more dangerous because of wide spread free thought. Hence DC having and being the murder capital. While la and chicago had three or four times the number of murders ro the current era.
Pre crack. A grown man could spell disaster for a gang.
During crack. No neutron regardles of general age. Would dare to oppose any structure based organization.
No neutron could move on.
or go to war in general.
Against an org.
The likely hood of violence to a neutron.
as a neutron was lesser in the crack era. As opposed to the current era with three to four times less murders.
There was structure. Plus as a neutron in chicsgo. I had to know as much lit from five, to six. As I could randomly come across. or try to get in a circle as a neutron.
I did not belong in at all.
There was an entire braintrust of concepts for survival.
To know how to navigate and live till now. In DC.
Plus bmore. It was more dangerous but less dangerous. As I could rock anything I wanted. Go wherever I wanted. While never dealing with structure.
Which is totally different.
I never would have ro deal with 1200 nikkaz moving on me in dc. Or bmore.
As chicago streets were strict back in the day.
As opposed to DC and bmore. Where it is free thought.
that a random could be life threatening.
In chicago
I could never back then.
play dumb and not know what to wear. or wear anything how i wanted to. Or not know where I was. Or hopefully who called it over that area. So just in case sumfin did happen. I had some advantage socially to not die.
Free thought areas are more dangerous. As those places do not have a brand of violence. That is readily and globally discernable.
yet in rhe the era of 64th or 63rd.
as the public knows now.
As a random. You could easily die faster in that area. As opposed to back in the day. As back then nikkaz in organizations. Just did not have to fear the general idea. Or worry about neutrons. Yet they would show respect to a neutron and give you a pass back in the day. As it would be suicide as a neutron in that era. To try to overly violate an organization.
Back then the street were strict.
You simply did not get to do What you wanted. You only got to do what they allowed.
Plus you had no pushback in general whatsoever.
Now you can do what you want. Yet you will get spanked by a party. That previously you would have not dare have violated.
In this era. As a neutron you cpuld snipe. Back then...trying to snipe a sale. Would have been the furthest thing from a general neutron way or wave of thinking. As a neutron you had no say. Plus no numbers to ever try to buck back at the structure that existed. As you would and could get approached and moved on. By 400 - 1200 nikkaz for real.
Sohh a neutron would never generally do.
the shyt a neutron would do generally now.
A neutron now can break their hat off. Anywhere and not worry about getting generally checked.
Be mouthy.
Back then. A neutron generally was not mouthy at all. Nor socially really allowed any social dynamic of authority or freedom.
You would have a affiliated neutron that may be able from distinct socialization. Be able to move a bit around. Yet not move around at all. Now a neutron can freely operate in a manner.
similar to a freethought arena more readily without consequence. Back then.. if you created circumstance. It was met with immediate reactive life changing Consequence.
DC.
Areas of free thought.
Have no idea and no way to relate to the structure arenas of chicsgo and la. there have never been any movie or medium if fulm.
that ever will illustrate socially.
what reality was in that era. Both are the most advanced urban intellectual markets in the world for a reason.
Being in a free thought area. Is like being in a time machine. For someone from a structure urban intellectual arena like chicago or la.
Where the brand of violence is behind.
Yet ferally more divisive for a general random. As there was never a structure in areas of freethought.
to daily socialization.
or life in those era or areas.
