I get it people grow apart. I never thought about it like that but I imagined they was every day type friends. His energy make it seem like it's more than just nikkas got families and other shyt to do. I don't like that he put method man with "rappers" even if that's what he really see him as lol.

This. It'll happen to everyone eventually.

I have the same circle I went to high school with and we only get together about 1-2 times a year. I talk to a few of them regularly but it's not like back in the day when we were 19, 20, 21 when we were around each other 24/7 because we didn't have much going on.

Fred.

Especially if you move. Hell when I lived in Houston still I might see a couple of my people once a year or so. Now if I'm home and you don't see me, :yeshrug:

Meth been taking acting serious for years…..



When Meth and Red went to Summer Jam and heard crickets from the crowd, I knew he was gonna say “Fukk rap”, I’m gonna stick to acting.


I’d glad that it’s no beef between those two.


Red and Meth were the black Cheech and Chong.


Whenever those two were paired together, hilarity always ensues

We only get one life, and only so much time to spend. In terms of Redman saying he doesn't hang out with Rappers, the context I am taking away from that... is whatever hobbies he is doing aside from music, he is hanging out with folks that share that interest at the moment. You can still be great friends with people you worked with, but I think at some point if you wanted to grow as a person, hanging out with the same people for all your life is not ideal.

I don’t know if I agree with this especially if we all live in the same city

I will say for clarity I’m currently going through that situation right now and I’m very much feeling a type of way about it if I’m being honest, and Lowkey not having free time is kinda a bad excuse in my opinion

I’m honestly at a point where ima chalk it up as folks not really fukking with me for real, which it is what it is I didn’t necessarily have friends like that anyway growing up

Well I can't speak on your situation as I don't know the specifics.

I'm telling you "they're not f*cking with me" isn't necessarily a factor though.

These guys gave me a place to live when I was homeless as a teen. We'd put together enough money to get a hamburger from McDonald's, and split that sh*t.

If we had food, everybody ate. We literally gave each other the clothes off our backs, in some cases.

So this is a level of loyalty most people do not see, or experience.

I'm telling you cats do not have time like we did, back then. Some of us work completely different schedules. Some gotta go pick their kids up. Some gotta deal with sick family members, their mom, whatever.

Hell, I like to walk. Yesterday I walked 10 miles. None of them cats are gonna do that. :mjlol:

Nor do I expect them to. I don't care about sports, a couple of them went out of town to watch a Chiefs game. I like to read....are they gonna sit here and watch me read? :mjlol:

The love and loyalty is there but the time isn't. It's as simple as that. I went and seen "Infinity War" day 1 with one of these cats....he literally had to stay up 24 hours to make it happen. Due to his schedule being f*cked up. If that's what we gotta do to see each other I'd rather just text. We're old now.

Fred.

Most of my people still live relatively close, within driving distance but the limiting factor is schedules. Some of these cats work over night. Some work in the morning. A lot of it revolves around that.

Birthdays, kids birthdays if your children are close in age, holidays if yall are down for the Friendsgiving or summer/spring vacation, a few sporting events, and maybe a concert or a show is pretty much it.

I have some local folks I see more often because we bowl or shoot pool, but my OG Homies we talk and text and try and catch up a few times a year in person.

Folks spread out after college and their first jobs.

I think it depends, also context and age group/range makes a difference. Life is about season and all those types of things have a time and place. When dudes hit that mid 30s or so and have families, responsibilities take priority as they should. I have seen it happen in friend group but also chalked it up to covid also due to timing. Same thing as mentioned, grew up with crew, godfather to children, take trips as a group, family and guy trips, etc.

shyt change as things get real and brehs individually move thru their seasons of life, we still get together tho but its just that much harder where it used to be a weekly thing or even multiple times a week, with bbq, kickbacks, happy hours, oh man many happy hours :wow:, going to games, working out, etc.

I wouldnt hold it against my brehs as they prioritize they family or change careers and have less time. Again it depends on age range but thats what I see, especially with how the economy is and everyone tryna grind it out and such. I know brehs who trucking, got multiple side hustles, on the road, tryna make things happen and set themselves up. Why would I feel some type of way when they just tryna make moves.

Thats why its important to enjoy the moment, sometimes even capture the moment, Im the camera man everyone hates on trips and such but everyone loves when I dig in crates and break out a captured moment they didnt even remember. Its important man because time is FLYINGGGGGG and you never know when those seasons will change.

My Pops Forever RIP
your circles change.

I got close homies that moved away. If I'm town I pull up. Other than that, it's texts every once in a while.

The crew I kick it with at Dyckman, if I see them at a NBA game or in the street, all love, but otherwise, I only really hang out with them during the summer at Dyckman.

My work crew, I don't hang out with outside work. My fantasy baseball crew, my crew that keeps me up to date on special events, I got whatsapp chats for them. Ultimately the ones I see the most are family and it really depends how close I live to them to determine how much I hang out with them.


I remember seeing my best friend from when I was 5 who lived across the street from me. I ran into him out the blue and I hadn't seen him in 15 years and we weren't bitter or angry at the lack of communication. We just acknowledged that life happens. 2025 though is the year of "debi tirar mas fotos" or "I shoulda took more pictures" so it's real important to document those moments because you don't know when the next moment happens. When my pops passed it was comforting to know we had a library of pics and vids to reminisce on.
