Breh on twitter is posting news clips from the 80's crack era

[$cam-U-Well_Jack$on]

A lot of us were affected by this shyt. Da community as a whole. Within my family, there were drug dealers/kingpins & fiends alike. Neighborhoods rife with despair, squalor, hopelessness & dope. A LOT of da damage done is irreversible which has affected subsequent generations. Crack babies. This includes those that were affected by crack and not limited to those born from parents that were smokin' that shyt.

Crazy u spoke on tha spirit aspects I can't remember what I was watching but a guy was talkin bout all the murders and shyt that occurred in South Central bak in tha day.. And he said one day he was walkin home and it was super late he pressed tha walkin sign to walk across tha street and he saw a low rider full of bullet holes and tha people inside the car had locs on bandanas and shower caps.. Two of tha passengers of tha car were dead and tha other two looked nervous he crossed tha street and turned around to see tha car and it was gone.. shyt sad but ain't to tellin tha kinds of spirits associated with different neighborhoods..

What both of y'all are talking about are espiritu intranquilo.

These vids hit too close to home for me bruh. Crack era in the Bay was mainey. I'm 36 and I remember kids a couple years older than me hugging the block 24/7 serving knocks in like 89-91'. The whole Lakeview in SF was full of Robert Yummy Sandifers. 10 year olds trying to sell my parents rocks whenever we would step outside the house. That was back when turf on turf violence hit a fever pitch. Sunnydale vs Lakeview, Sunnydale vs Hunters Point. Turf'd out Starter jackets with your hood stitched on the sleeve. The murder rate was sky high where I stayed at, Randolph St. Sometimes I think I have undiagnosed PTSD from growing up around that shyt. Real Baydestrians know what it is. Go listen to Cellski Mr. Predicter for a d-boy's insight to life on Randolph in that era. Yes, living up in the Bay was like a motherfukking zoo. R.I.P. Cheap Charlie, Johnny Hodges and all of fallen homies from Lakeview and the city.

technology changes prompted youth to stay in and play video games rather than gangbang.

I was just in another thread on Bernie and people don't recognize the climate that led to that crime bill. Not excusing it, but that shyt didn't just magically appear out of nowhere.

People in the communities hardest hit by violent crime wanted that bill.

People need to look at the late 80s / early 90s annual murder numbers for places like NYC vs now.

Right. People were desperate for any fix that could bring about change to their crack & crime ravaged neighborhoods but didn't take into account da long term ramifications.

Shoutouts to all the crackheads though who provided cheap labor and goods at discounted rates

Muthafukkas would sell you a car to get some crack

In hindsight, the best thing to do in the beginning was the community to kill all the dealers..now look how things turned out

That's exactly what Pam Grier did in Coffy







Pam







But nah, on a serious note, I remember my mama telling me she knew so many people whose moms were dopeheads growing up. And this is in South Carolina, the deep south. It's so messed up

He's right. Notice video game arcades are but a distant memory, now? They began closing down once the OG Sega Genesis and Super NES started taking a huge bite out of the profits. Once the PS2 hit, it was a wrap. Cats stayed in the house playing Madden all day.​

If not for that shyt, the 80's was the greatest era to be a kid/teenager.

​

Even with crack... the 80's was still the best era to grow up in. I wouldn't have wanted to grow up in any other decade.

We used to refer to that stuff as 'House Specials'. Cats selling dope mountain bikes and TV's for $20. I got a microwave for $10. Man, on payday, cats would see where the fiends were hanging out and ask THEM if they had anything.....

There were some dudes I hung with whose entire wardrobe was from fiends boosting shyt from malls and outlets.​

This thread is making me wonder what will our future hold now that we have weed concentrates in large numbers?

Crack, and cocaine caused a lot of mental illness in people based off the fact it effects dopamine, but I wonder what will cannabis do being that it effects everything in your body?

I know dabs raise your tolerance quick, and I seen young people doing nothing but concentrates to the point they don't smoke weed anymore. Something tells me it's not gonna be good.

I have a feeling it's gonna be a lot of slow children from people who abused concentrates, and the parents are not gonna be able to have complex thoughts keeping them with low quality lives. Concentrates are gonna be the new crack, just with less violence

I love herb, but I think the abuse of concentrates is gonna be the end of America as we know it. Foreigners are gonna take the tech jobs, and other jobs that need high thinking, if young people keep abusing concentrates

I never liked dabs because it reminds me of crack too much
