Brooklyn son
Man I love where Brooklyn is at now. I live in Clinton Hill in between Fort Greene and Bed Stuy. A lot has changed. More shops, more after school programs for the kids, more friendly neighborhood activities for people. I never got the notion of being proud of being from a place where death, drugs and bullets can ruin ya day. I'm glad I didn't have to worry about being robbed growing up. Not all of Brooklyn is grimey hood. It's only really East NY that's on some get inside before the street lights come on. Everywhere else you got some knuckleheads but since these crackas moved in, so have the police patrols.

No, its not

Most of the BX, Brownsville, East New York, Far Rock, QB is still very rough...

QB and South BX are right on the cusp of being Manhattanized

it still goes down in crown heights, bed stuy, bushwick, LES, uptown

No


Generally, the rule is the closer you are to Manhattan the safer but with a population of 9 million shyt happens :manny:

It still gets pretty dangerous in Harlem n Uptown. nikkas just aint stupid with it like back in the 90s. On the low, gang activity and violence have been getting progressively worse. All this bang bang Chicago bullshyt is starting to influence the youth.

Didnt ya nikkas read that thread of tha Coli member almost losing his life getting robbed in the Bronx a couple weeks ago? :what:

a BRONX Slum by I-87 NORTH
yea theres like 4 bridges in harlem that take u right into the south bronx. fordham road is higher up than harlem but its still considered south bronx. fordham road crosses over into inwood which is more dominicans than blacks but still hood in its own way. inwood nikkas are more about hustling tho so it isnt as violent cause everybody trying to keep their spots from getting hot. my little cousin just got robbed in inwood 2 weeks ago for his phone tho :snoop:


wrong. fordham rd is north bronx.
