Spinoff thread: UK and Canadian "ghettos" or "hoods"

[Trajan]

Where I'm from isn't easy, but I'm so glad my Mum chose to settle in Leeds, every broke kid in England probably goes through the ''wannabe drug dealer'' phase I'm just glad it never got me past community orders.

I still got a chance to make something of myself

So many close calls. I could've ended up in the system

I've literally been in the station with 15 shots between my bum cheeks and 2 bills between my legs, thank God for tightly whiteys

I don't think the argument was X hood and Y hood are soft. There are good and bad spots all over the world but don't glorify it especially if you're trying to get out of it.

bruh, I am not trying to glorify anything. and you are right. I was clowing and have always clowned anyone that though that their cities' crimes and crime rates were some kind of badge of honor

I've been to Winnipeg.............boy stop

I've never been there. like I said I was just looking up shyt to see what was up. Obviously there are some slums there.

 

[yo moms]

why did you hang in the streets? why do you love fukkery? sorry for all the questions but ive always tried to understand what makes someone in uk go that way. also I hope for you all the best in your court case brother.

because i couldnt get a job. i still cant get solid jobs. the only jobs i can get is temp warehouse jobs or factories. i had no direction. its much easier to hang around the estate all day and night than it is to go out and look for work. if it wasnt for boxing i would have been in prison much much earlier tbh. boxing is the life jacket keeping me afloat. im self destructive when im not boxing im just getting in trouble. its got nothing to do with america or trying to be american. if i didnt know america existed id still be doing the same shyt.

theres places in manchester, liverpool and birmingham that are much worse than london.

Ey yo, U.K. Brehs, I was reading that Glasgow was really bad.

Tell me what's up...I've always wanted to go to Scotland and Ireland

The UK is legit fukked up on the low...and i've noticed the tower blocks in toronto were starting to acquire an 80s 'buffalo' vibe to them...they keep packing people from 3rd world countries on top of each other expecting shyt to be cool...when all that money is riding and walking around all day.

Out of all the beautiful places in the world and you wanna go to those two those two seem so grey and damp and just boring and filthy. Place full of no ass having women

 

[Indiglow Meta (R$G)]

@Patrick Kane people don't approach strangers in Tdot projects like that, though...you can literally stroll through that jawn with a boombox. I did that. When you visited the states, did you stroll through or did you watch from the whip? I live in y'all's shyt.

if you are black stay the fukk out of scotland. and probably ireland too. scotland is a shythole where it literally rains all year round. the people are racist as fukk. just no reason to go there. theres nothing there at all.

what it comes down to is lack of self esteem. but where the lack of self esteem comes from i have no idea. im good looking, im a good athlete and have won the majority of my amateur fights. i wear nice clothes. i dont know if its from my dad leaving or what. i was never bullied. before i dropped out my school forced me to see a counseller and she couldnt find anything wrong with me. even tho i was fukking up and getting excluded a lot. id like to know myself where my lack of self esteem comes from. shyt is a mystery. i know the most confident dudes that would never step into the ring. most boxers come from shyt backgrounds and have problems thats what draws them to boxing. no sane man volenteers to get punched in the head on a daily basis lol.

fascinating shyt the human mind.
