They musta learned in recent years not to kick up dust down here. Cuz I shonuff remember like years ago when they would be getting pressed for that loudmouth shyt down here

Yeah I remember those days too. I don't know bruh around the late 90's or early 2000's ATL nikkas nuts just dropped and we learned the game. Nowadays that shyt is like a target on your back cuz the youngins know if it's a NY nikka that it's a good chance he got money and won't be carrying a strap. I went to HS right around the corner from the AUC and you already know most of them Clark and Morehouse nikkas is from up that way and nikkas from my HS used to stay robbing them nikkas.

The 215
Bruh you in the 215? Cmon bruh, there are nikkas getting to the money everywhere but outside of a few cities you not gonna see large groups of Black folks doing they thing. And Philly ain't one of them. nikkas is getting money in NY, ATL, DC, LA, and Chicago but outside of a few areas in Texas and a few in NC that's it. Even Detroit nikkas get more money than Philly nikkas.
Whatever you want to believe fam believe it. I'm not here to convince you otherwise. I don't need to be in any specific spot to get money maybe you do I don't know and I can only speak on what I know and see. I see blacks here getting bread just like any other place but if you have the pulse of what blacks getting money in what cities great for them. Since it don't effect me in anyway I honestly don't care. Also like I said before I like the northeast more than being down south for the most part so when all that's added up I'm good.

We settin examples with our hair, music and money :wow:

I know right. nikkas walking around in places like The Bay, DMV and Chicago with the skinny locs and I'm like bruh we was doing that in the late 90's. I remember when I had locs and my cousins in Chicago used to try and roast me calling me a mop head and shyt. Now fast forward 12 years and they doing the same thing. Shout out to Dade tho cuz ATL did copy the Dread wave off them.

I seem to remember alot of corny ass nikkas on here shytting on my city awhile ago now people wanna move here with the quickness lol

Proud to be a native Atlantan

Real talk, as a black man ATL is the GOAT city :wow:

Most NY nikkas I ran across in the A was humble tho. They wasn't on no loud rah rah shyt. I think ATL and Miami the only 2 cities in the south were nikkas not really impressed with where a nikka is from

I'm from Brooklyn and I've met maaaaaaaad NY nikkas out here and every damn one of us fukk with Atlanta heavy. The place is just magical breh :mjcry:

That's what's up. And I fukk with Philly the long way. Just stating what I've seen. And I totally feel you on the can't live down south thing. I get around and I totally see the difference in the lifestyles between up there and down here and can understand someone not liking it.

Now lol there's all these Lil Wayne and chief Keefe clones

Nah, we are still thriving in Harlem and in places like Crown Heights.

I hear all it will take is a 2-3 developers coming to the area and building some multi million dollar developments and its game over, since it will make the property taxes insane. I`m no real estate guru but this is just a theory I've heard. I've always wanted to own property in Harlem for historic purposes but idk if that will happen with the direction NYC is going. I hear blacks are being forced out to places like CT because they simply can't afford NYC anymore.
