Black 90s babies have it the hardest

[Mac Brown]

Black folk still hold on to that 1970s mentality where you can be on your own at 18 and make mad money in some job

sad, but thats just an excuse, the real reason is that black folks (generally) don't plan to have kids, but have them way too young and accidentally, so when they can legally rid themselves of the financial responsibility........they run with it!

I see this already changing with the younger generation I see.

I'm old school but I actually think the younger gen is getting a quite a few things right when it comes to how they view life.

Foreal? Big bro was born in 92. I was born in 93. Lil bro in 94. Lil sis in 95

Dont think there was a difference or anything

Your parents were getting freaky back in the 90s breh

 

[Mac Brown]

These women ain't tryna build with nikkas, they want the finished product at age 23

its always been that way.

fukk these ho's just improve yourself .........sit back and watch what happens.

If you are a black male born in the 70's you're lucky to be alive today. We were adolescents and a teenagers in the late 80's through mid-90's...murder rates were absolutely ridiculous. Chicago today ain't shyt compared to what was going on those days. Murder rate was triple what it is now. Think about it...there were less people living back then and the body count was higher than it is now.

no you don't.. believe me

shyt was waayy more violent then you kids are use to.

My pops always tells me stories about shyt he went through coming up in the late 80's and early 90's. nikkas was rreally on some other shyt in the 90's when it comes to crime and violence.

THIS

baby boomers were the greedy ones that adopted Reagan's bullshyt philosophy and everyone is paying for it. Now rent and food is soaring beyond inflation, most 20 and 30 somethings can't live on their own, and the prices of electronics just keep going up and up for no damn reason.

But you 90s babies grew up where you can actually be yourselves and not be labeled "white" for doing things outside of the stereotypical shyt. On top of better technology, more open minded people, better looking women, and clothes you can wear. 80s babies had to grow up with the wannabe thugs and superthugs bragging about jail sentences and selling crack, having a small paradigm of thinking, and wearing the same 3 brands of baggy clothing.

Dapped and repped. Felt like I was born in the wrong generation at times ('81)

I came up mostly during the mid to late 90's... was only like 11 or 12 during the early 90's, but let me tell you this.......

I had my first knife pulled on me in the 4th grade......held my first crack rock in the 7th grade...........had a gun pulled on my in the 8th grade.

sold my soul a few years later.

Them stories never really go away in your mind. Crack and crime fukked up the minds of the youth back in the day. On top of that, people were on some OD violent shyt to prove that they ain't soft and had a whole generation of black men on some and shyt to keep their heads above water.

Damn, you must have had a hard time growing up. I feel for you (n/h)

Everyone out there wanted to be some type of Tyson/Jordan/Pac hybrid to be "real nikkas" in the street life and get money.

If you have kids young, best believe you gonna be a young ass grandparent too. Kicking your kids at 18 means that you gonna be babysitting your grandbaby no too long after

Back in those days, nikkas were mad confrontational and were looking for any excuse to fight. Even if you by yourself and minding your own damn business, nikkas wanted to fight and try to punk you for not being on some murderous superthug shyt. That hypermasculine shyt was cancer to the black race and it claimed so many lives and traumatized a lot more in the process.

Yeah man , I can vouch for that 100% coming up in NYC in the 90s . For as long as I was in the school system I was always fighting and 70% of the time I didn't antagonize it . Back then it was mandatory for you to know how to fight or else you were perceived as a bytch or p*ssy and nikkas wouldnt respect you at all . In alot of ways I feel like I was robbed of my childhood because of the environment I was brought up in . Back then their was no age bracket when it came to just lounging in the hood I would be like 9 years old with 2 of my other 9 year old friends and we would be lounging with 15-16 like it was nothing when they were manipulating us expose us to stuff we werent ready for . The first time a gun was put in my hands was at 11 years old from my friend who was 15 and by time I was 13 I was already selling crack , involved in gangs , robbing nikkas on trains etc . Sometimes I dwell on my upbrings and I'm grateful that I'm prevailed and made it out of my environment because 75% of the people I grew up with are either 6 feet deep under or doing jersey numbers . 90's babies are kind of lucky though even though violence is still relevant it isnt at the magnitude it was back then at all .

yall went thru some shyt huh
i was born in 96.

gas is highest price ever
cost of living is as high as ever
polish immigrants taking our jobs in uk
cctv everwhere so you cant get away with crimes anymore
car insurance costs over 2 thousands pounds for first time drivers in uk. cant drive without insurance or your license gets taken away. how the fukk do you justify paying that much to be on the road? 2k is the minimum too. if you get a car that costs more than 500 then you gon be paying a lot more.

you got a point about crime. it was 100x more easier being a criminal in the 70s and 80s. you'd probably be a millionaire by now if you were brought up them. now? these fukking terrorists got every city on high alert with cameras on every corner and undercovers in every hood.

And DNA evidence, and cell phone cameras, and so on. Crime doesn't pay nowadays.

shyt was no joke back in the day. Most of the fights I got in, I never started shyt or even knew of the person. nikkas picked on me cause I was light skinned and got jumped by a bunch of 14/15 year olds back in the 7th grade when I was only 12 years old. I was a borderline psychopath that beaten someone with a rusted pipe for starting a damn fight over my Nike Airs. That thugged out nikka try to take that shyt away from me, and we traded blows. I grabbed this dude by the legs and started stomping his chest out and saw a rusted pipe, so I used that and beat the shyt outta his legs and some people in his crew were like because I went mental patient on his bum ass.

I been in other fights back in middle school, but that shyt is insane how shyt was back in the day. Mad times, people offered me crack and weed to sell, but I refused to because I knew my Jamaican pops would send me to boot camp if I done any of that shyt. There was no "swag" back then either, and I stayed with the face 24/7, especially after that incident when I used that pipe to take out that nikka. No one really tested me much since then, but that era was because mad people were on probation and couldn't even leave home or school.

Super thugs and goons with the mouthpiece ran sit in the social scene back then. the "regular nikka" was non-existent, and most bytches only fukked with street nikkas with records. Most goons now are or just plain swagless and these kids actually have a chance now.
