Atlanta YNs speak on who gets the most respect in the trenches these days. Are we cooked???

[murksiderock]

I believe it. Back when I was younger everyone looked up to the hustlers. Now they look up to the killers.

Just because there are less killings doesn’t mean that the youth doesn’t gravitate to them.

"More" guys aren't gravitating to the violent types. Those guys have always been around...

Respectfully, if you weren't outside as a young guy then you aren't going to have the same vantage point I have...

Maybe in California, but most people wanted to be get money nikkas, you might had to drop something to get in position , hold ya position, but most people wasn't killing just to say they killers like they do today. As far as less killings than yesteryear. It's because of infrastructure. 911 us readily available, people have multiple phones, Shiit ya phone can be "disconnected" and you can still make emergency calls or wifi calls. trauma units, rapid response. Ain't really no no go zons for police and paramedics these days.

It really wasn't a "most people" thing, and I don't think it is today. Some guys look up to violent guys, some guys look up to the hustlers...

The guys who look up to the violent guys always been around and the streets always respected the shooters. This wasnt any different in California, we had plenty of balling ass nikkas and plenty of young guys with street aspirations who looked up to the guys with paper...

Yes they are. All these kids are killers and have opps now. Philly now has gangs that beef with each other and drill rappers are a thing now.

Of course crime went down because of technology and other factors but I’ve seen Philly change since I was a kid.

This isn’t even really quantifiable anyways so it’s not worth arguing about lol

We're not having an argument

"All" these faces on screen aren't killers and there are plenty of kids who drift into the streets, who follow the footsteps of the guys who aren't killers, who you never see on video...

I live in Atlanta, in the heart of Atlanta and live a totally different life. I love my morning coffees, walk on the beltline, drama free life, these negros cornballs.

All you missing now is a white woman and a golden retriever.

Back in January 2002 I was in the county jail max division with a bunch of my fellow yn’s at the time, and when the news came on and announced that we had the most homicides for 2001, I swear to god, damn near all the dudes that was in there for murder started clapping

Sad state of dusty affairs right here, b.

Glad I grew up in a time where it was "Buns > Guns."

Where are you from?

I moved to North Carolina at 16, and got locked up on my bid at 17 (2006). Same shyt, any shyt that hit the news about mf's clapping something, mf's were saluting it. That's the nature of the lifestyle and part of what comes with it...

So mf's saying "nikkas NOW are more into how many hats you got", are missing key things. These dudes aren't speaking for the guys that are into the other aspects of the streets...

And like I said, youngins always think they the first ones to do some shyt; in this case the guys in the video think they the first generation of nikkas to be obsessed with gunplay. These young guys weren't around 10, 20, 30 years ago, and so on. They dont know what the fukk nikkas was on

They are within their peer group, so it feels like everybody more concerned with the hitters. The guys who ran in those peer groups decades ago thought the same shyt...

I remember older guys telling me and us (other young street kids) we weren't the first nikkas to do anything. We'd be around talking about anything from trapping to shooting to robbing and how lit we were, and older guys would tell us, "yall aint the first nikkas to do ____". But you dont hear it at that phase of your life...

Everybody's era is an evolution of the one that preceded it. Ain't nothing new under the sun. At all!

Ain’t it always been this way?

Everyone can’t be a hustler or a pretty boy, anyone can try and be tough.

Killing is just apart of human nature, all cultures idolize tough guys.

Shut your bytch ass up FSGGOT.

I know that the 90's statistically was more violent, and in our current time violent crime is down, but man social media makes that shyt look more prevalent.
