- Thread starter Scottie Drippin
- Start date
Ok so I'm not the only one that thought bought sortss were fake. Patch was always on bottom. Besides the nostalgia of this episode I didn't find this episode all that good.
I remember this darkskin girl who developed early in 9th grade (no
) so all the older 12th and 11th graders was trying to talk to her. She was in a few of my classes. Somebody spread the rumor that she had AIDS. Nonsense most likely. But before two weeks was out the whole school, all 1200 of us, had heard the rumor. shyt was ROUGH for her 
She ended up transferring.
Kids are cruel as shyt man.
To me, I saw it as:
Earn goes to Al when he needs to be bailed out of something
Al looks out for him out of duty, he's family, that's what family does
Earn and Al don't speak until halfway through the episode. Earn seeks him out, Al goes"You see DBZ last night?" and Earn goes into how he needs his help because people might start picking on him.
First episode of the series, off the top of my head, I don't think Earn and Al meet until like the middle of the episode when Earn finds out he's got some buzz. He doesn't even know where he lives, has to go to his parent's house to find out. Al gives him the "I ain't seen you since my mama funeral and now you wanna piece of Paperboi"
Yea. It came off like Earn only came to Al when he needed something whereas Al always looked out for Earn regardless without wanting or needing anything back. Earn most likely dropped contact with Al once he got into Princeton (they need to do a flashback before the show finishes) but the moment he drops out of college, has no plan b and Paperboi starts buzzing, he came back running.
In middle school, moms couldn't afford to get Nikes, so she bought me some ProActions (fake ass, wannabe nikes).
Instead of the their "swoosh" going up, theirs went down. Like this...
I got flamed mercilessly.
Its so hard trying to fit in and trying to be fly as a kid when your family is working class.
My parents are foreigners so they didnt give a fukk about style or dressing their kids.
I had to coordinate with 6 shirts/4 pants and mix it up to make it look like I had different outfits.
Shoe polish on deck to make my one pair of kicks last for the year.
When those cats screamed at ol boy for having the "fake" FUBU, "THIS N----- HOMELESS!!" I felt that.
Its all good though, that shyt made me
and get on my grind. Got my 6 certs, 6 figs and make more than all them cats.

I remember I was in about 3rd grade& got some Shaqs from Payless thinking shyt's looked decent which they did.
Thank God I didn't get roasted/anyone noticing before I realized you can't be that nikka if you rocking Shaqs

Episode touched me because that's how middle school was for me. I didn't cop Jordans and shyt until just a few years ago when I had my own money and could afford to drop money on expensive sneakers.
When I was in JHS...fukk when I was elementary school...if you didn't have fly gear? You got clowned. Period. DAILY.
God help you if the shyt was fake
And no I didn't grow up in the fukking suburbs, this is Brooklyn, NY throughout the entire 90's and to this day.
Hell we had to use uniform in JHS but we could wear kicks and if you didn't have J's or at least SOMEONE'S kicks (Ewing, Jason Kidd, Pippens) nikkas called em rejects. You'd either get clowned or straight up jumped.
This episode also points out how the school system in this country fails to address mental issues and emotional problems in it's children until it's too late. Now I know some of you might say "Aye it's not the schools problem" but unfortunately, the dual side to that is that yo...as a child you are spending damn near 70% of your time IN SCHOOL amongst your peers. These are the years that will determine how you develop and what you will develop into as an adult. If you don't pay attention to those kids then, you can't wash your hands of what they become later. Now that's not a redlight to try to control and direct the thoughts of children, but ya'll are wrong when you say Black kids don't commit suicide from the shyt. Not only did that shyt happen when I was a youngin,shyt there was times that I felt like offing myself back then. That might actually be the first point in my life where I started considering that shyt now that I think about it.
Remember: That kid was dealing with his folks divorce...AND getting bullied at school.
This is message to all you "I don't want my kids exposing to this whole LGBT shyt" parents: your children are affected far more from the breakdown of familiarity (parents divorce, family, surroundings) than a woman kissing another woman or a man holding another mans hands or whatever else makes YOU uncomfortable.
On a side note, DBZ was airing on channel 11 (WPIX) as early as 96 because I used to watch it on Sunday mornings when they would repeat the same episodes up to when Goku was about to get off SnakeRoad and come back to Earth. Then I discovered the magic of the internet and started saving whatever money I could get in order to buy the Japanese episodes with the subtitles from Bargain Bazaar Downtown Brooklyn on Fulton St.
$10 for 3 episodes...complete with the Japanese commercials and shyt
But yeah...Earn...man I lost a lot of respect for this cat now that I see he's been leaning on Al for damn near his entire life, with no regard for his own actions.
Grew up in BK too. Had to wear uniform from 1-8. You could have on sneakers. And Friday's were casual. The real popular kids didn't give a fukk. That NYC school life was rough. I was Haitian American on top of that. But I didn't get it as bad as other nikkas. Getting called Haitian booty scratcher and shyt.You had to learn to take it, snap back or be sarcastic.
But then they were jammin Night and Day by Al B Sure in the lunchroom. That was late 80s.
ThaEruditious
She luv it over here like Gold Watch.
Paperboi lookin like he finna tell some big nikka "give my brother his ball back"

One Of The Last Real Ones To Do It
This episode had me triggered, me and Glover are the same age (birthdays actually a few days apart) and the accuracy of this episode was on point. Only thing missing were kids huddled around reading an Eastbay magazine
Reminded me of 7th grade when I got roasted for wearing a sweater my mom bought me. I'm dark-skinned and the sweater was yellow, these two girls started saying I was too dark to be wearing that color. So they got half of homeroom walking around me in a circle and called me the sun and they were the planets orbiting
I didn't wear yellow for years after that until I bought a Shaq Lakers jersey, just stuck to colors like blue or gray. I hated middle school
Hope them bishes fat now with four baby daddies each
Is that why you account name is Henry Orbit
Cause those kids were in orbit around you?
