I grew up in Flatbush so I know what you mean. Walking down Church Ave and hearing "Just Gimme Di Light" playing on every street corner :blessed:

Last time I went shyt was just......:brehwow:

Cacs took over the city breh :to:
The energy

The familiarity

I heard reggae playin out of someone's car a while back.... damn near wanted to hug them :to:

And yea. I was up in NYC in June.... I didn't even bother going to BK. I couldn't see it

First generation American, but my family is from Antigua. I feel like I definitely identify more with American culture, but I want to change that after I went to Antigua last year and saw their Independence Day celebration (November 1, 1981 is the official date) ... I can understand the patois, but I can't speak it :to:

I've been meaning to go to the Antiguan Consulate General since I came back, but I just haven't made the trip yet ...

Embrace your culture breh. Go buy some good music and eat some caribbean food and zone out. I been listening to a dancehall mixtape all day today and i feel like I'm in mobay right now.

Breh when i used to go there it used to get me legit upset. I had to ask for extra gravy, but its like they refused to put it on the food, they gave me a little cup of gravy on the side.

Like did yall cook the oxtail and drained it before you served it:what:


I think its cause they tryna come across as high end so bad.

Mexican-American I identify with both sides but got hate from my some of fellow brethren because I listened to hip-hop, hung around black folks and I hate Futbol.
