Don't say you hate LA when you don't travel past the 10

One of the realest lines in GNX. I lived in Los Angeles for over two years and heard a bunch of transplants (technically I'm one too but I'm not really involved in the Hollywood lifestyle) shyt on LA and say it's ass when they never go south of the 10 freeway and stay in Hollywood, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Silver Lake, and Venice all day. Not interacting with the brehs in South Central and Inglewoods, the foos in East LA and Highland Park or the pinoys and Samoans in Carson.

What's your city's equivalent of that line?

Sick. Although being military, I would've expected you to be stationed in San Diego

When I lived in Tampa, I met a lot of black folks who never went to St. Pete because they had to cross a ~5 mile bridge.

You have some of the best beaches in the country within an hours drive, and never go because you have to cross a bridge. Still can’t understand it.

I thought Schoolboy Q said that’s how folks get got? Bring ya ass to the city, go somewhere fun, and mind ya business?

The valley is still LA and you wouldn't catch me down there

Minus the homeless, LA is a beautiful city. But no/very few blk folk unfortunately

Honestly, that's what a lot of us say when people say they come to LA and don't see any black couples. You don't leave tourist areas then make claims like that

In Miami, we say across the bridge is the real Miami. A bridge separates the City of Miami and the City of Miami Beach.
