UK has some true inner city estate shytholes. The racial breakdown is less segregated tho

I'm from London and have lived all over the city...it's not bad AT ALL.
Some areas can get sticky but usually nothing more than a robbery. Some of these kids wish it was worse than it is. They are hiphop stans and just follow the ratchet shyt they see on social media/TV.
I thought certain areas in London were bad until I went to Nairobi and saw a robbery/murder in front of me...broad day
I've been to Chicago too. We don't see that kind of action over here
. So glad to be back in her Majesty's realm 
The truth is...the UK has a very generous welfare system. These kids are just bored and ''trap'' for the hell of it even though they all stay bummy. They don't do it for the money or because they have to.
Having said that...some posters just ride the whole ''I'm American'' shyt. Obviously some areas in London will be harder than some areas in the US. My question is...what part of America are you from? You have dudes from Idaho fronting like they're harder than estate kids from the UK. Of course we have goons over here too.

because i dropped out of school and hung around the streets. im still caught up right now at the age of 21 im facing years in prison for my charges and i didnt even do what ive been charged with.
i just love fukkery. the stories and experiences ive got is priceless despite whether its good or bad. im starting to grow up now and realised ive got a talent and i need to put all my attention into that so i can make a living off it. and stop with the fukkery. i dont want to be 25 still caught up and hanging around the estate.
ive had my wild years and its caught up to me this time with this case im facing.

Lol @ fools praising which hood is the most toughest. Am I reading this clearly? Praising gangs and drug dealers in your "hood"?

Yeah, I don't get Americans obsession with how "hard" their hoods are and always calling everywhere else soft.
I've been to hoods all throughout NYC, Indiana (Gary), Miami, Los Angeles and although they were "grimey" looking, I walked through and hung out in all these places at different times of the day or night perfectly fine and never once feared for my safety. Now, the hoods I've been to in Mexico, Cuba, Jamaica
yeah, wasn't all peachy. The poverty and desperation that exists in the Third World ain't nothing like hoods in America. Canada and the UK have hoods all over - government housing, poverty, lack of services, violence, drugs, poor schools but the only difference is the history that Canada and the UK took during their social, economic and political development throughout the 20th century which resulted in different impacts in each place. The U.S obviously has a very racist history and this is why hoods in America are more neglected and violent, it was done very systematically while in the UK and Canada it was based off failure of policies. Not to mention the U.S has a population of over 300 million while the UK and Canada barely make 100 million combined. Pack that many people into poor places and you will see fukked up results.
Here are a few hoods in Toronto:
Each of these look similar to hoods I've been to in NY, California and Indiana. Ain't nothing special

I got school friends still caught up in that bullshyt meanwhile im seeing several new countries every year
Exactly.
Sad thing is...impressionable teens get excited and do the road shyt...fukk up their life and then end up doing dead end jobs forever.

Y'all do know you're posting on a hip hop forum, right?
Y'all do know that a lot of your favorite rappers are from the projects, right? Y'all do know that a lot of them are only a handshake away from being gang members (if they are not already)?
Do you know the history of any of these mobs? Have you interacted with any of these hood folks?
Drug dealers make sure those project boys in South Florida get to play football...among things. Talk about what you know...Beltway blacks up in here.

That doesn't mean anything. There are estates in London that look just as bad...but the difference is they don't see much action at. It is not ACTIVE.
You have a few bums trying to trap weed/small coke out of some them. Bodies don't drop like that,
Btw..London was way worse in the 90s and 2000s when the yardies were wiling out. Most of them are doing life or deported.

at these UK brehs copying American dysfunction.
You'd be surprised how much money people are still making off Brandy and Whisky, but yeah violence isn't really that bad where I'm from, older man used to tell me how wild the early 2000's were but I doubt bodies were dropping left and right.
