My Highschool took on a rather radical change around the time the East Coast West Coast media driven shyt was going on. I went in on another thread about that shyt, but it pretty much caused dudes who lived on the Eastern side of the island (Called East End) to beef with dudes on the Western Side of the island (West End) over shyt that pretty much wasn't there the summer before this shyt.
Dudes claiming turf and throwing up the American West Side Symbol like that shyt supposed to represent them and that bullshyt. I wasn't privy to none of this shyt but as a dude living in East End, the first time I got pushed off of a block by some West Dudes and a bunch of other East Dudes saw, came up and starting swinging I was like

. Had this been a year earlier, them dudes would have ran up to see me fight instead of jumping in, but this shyt brought about a sort of retarded camaraderie between dudes, but in retrospect it was all counter productive bullshyt since America back then was seen as some sort of Lifestyle Entertainment Mecca that only a select few people got to go live in. T'was bullshyt brehs, but I never went out of my way to dissuade myself from that shyt and sorta rolled in the East Circles after being upgraded from Clown nikka to "East Man" for a bit.
....shyt all went to seed when they jumped this one dude and broke his jaw, something very serious since we ain't never had that back then. Ain't never had cops come into the school outside of the end of term Water Balloon wars and I wasn't about to get snatched up repping shyt I didn't believe in 'cause I watched BET a few too many times and felt like I associated with that shyt.
