The new black wall street breh



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



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

Yeah I got 2 NY nikkas in my circle. And as a born and bred Atlanta nikka never for a second do I forget that what made Atlanta what it is everybody moving here and adding they own little piece to the mix. It took a few decades for the pie to be finished but since about 2000 or so that shyt been lovely. That what makes our hustle strong, we see all types of hustles and games cuz it's nikkas from everywhere in this bytch. You move here and put down what you bring to the table and it's piece of the machine. Then if you have kids here they will grow up on some hybrid BK/ATL shyt. It really is some unique shyt

Its ONLY because outside of ATL is still super racist.

Its easy to get lulled into thinking shyt it sweet in Georgia until you drive an hour in each direction outside of the city and remember you're still in a red state

Shout out to Kasim though

Dude is doing werk

Does that include Savannah?

@bdizzle and @CashmereEsquire how well is the ATL with keeping out those dirtbag Arabs and Asians? You already know wherever we go those scum aren't too far behind trying to make money off the mentally challenged members of the black community. I'm always hitting up the ATL so where is the black owned hairshops, grocery stores, and gas stations? I always make sure to never give an Arab or Asian my money no matter where I'm at. I got family out there and they do the same

Does that include Savannah?

Yes. Savannah is like a mini New Orleans.

Arabs and Asians are everywhere. And the black owned shyt is everywhere too. Can't really give you a particular area to go look. There are Black folks all over the metro. There really isn't an area where we can't be found.

Philly nikkas getting money?

Asians still have beauty supply stores on deck, and Arabs has gas stations, BUT Atlanta has a ton of Blacks doing good, so its none of that Menace 2 Society Stereotyping because it's blacks breaking bread, you may get it in the burbs though, but unless you walking around looking janky nobody gives you the side eye. I have never been to any black gas stations but there are a few beauty supply stores owned by blacks. Atlanta might be the only city where Blacks can make it where nobody eats but black folks and Fortune 500 companies, but there is a huge consumer culture since people want to keep up with the Jones. And in ATL you got Buford Hwy which is like the Economic hub for Mexicans and Koreans/Viets, then in Clarkson you have a ton of East African/Muslim businesses. My only gripe with ATL businesses is cats open the same ol sports bars, car washes, barber shops, wing spots, and soul food spots. We need more diversity business wise. Theres a cat who I went to College with who's family runs Supreme Fish Delight, they are old school NOI cats and its very successful, like I said blacks eating we just gotta diversify our portfolios.

Yeah Savannah is the grimiest city in GA. That's a wild little city.

 

[Gifted one]

Going to have to take a trip this summer, networking and going to consider it as a place to relocate, it's either Atlanta or the DMV @bdizzle @CashmereEsquire put a South Florida breh on game

We know some of the same people then. I know a few of the Deens. I went to middle school with Whalid. And if you know them then you probably know the Hood family too. They used to own a few gas stations on the westside.

They got the beauty supply industry on lock out here. My girl sometimes wears braided extensions and she told me yesterday she bought it from the Korean spot. I was like

I went online and found a black owned beauty supply store and told her to only buy from there from now on. If it's way more expensive I'll give her the bread to buy it.

Here's the facebook page of the black owned beauty supply store close to the crib.

Real talk though we need cats who got that hustlers spirit to come out here and help chase these dudes out the city.

 

[Lord Brehlinger]

Do you mean the city itself or the entire metro area? @ang_helic

 

[Apollo Creed]

Yea Buford Hwy has a bunch of Mexicansbut are they still moving out of the ATL in mass like I last heard?

They moving further East to Gwinnett, they have that on lock. White folks trying to push them out of Buford Hwy because its prime real estate and they want to tear down some of the apartments in areas like Brookhaven and build mixed us Condos, the thing is since the Mexicans in the area have many that are undocumented, they can't even vote against what the white people want to do.


Thats their problem though not mine.
