How many of yall went through the 'thug' phase as a teenager

[fendi_mane]

It wasn't a phase, you had to act like a hoodlum to survive where i'm from. You really done realize you were being a "thug" until you get to see new things. I was a fukkin fool from about 13-20 and then I went to college and got my mind right.

 

[OPTiMO]

was def not never a "thug" lol, but i still never been a pushover. people never fukked with me and i never fukked with them

 

[BrothaZay]

I started early. When i first moved to Long Beach that shyt opened up a different world to me. Another side of LA i aint see in Dena. shyt wasnt intimidatin at all to me tho, i jumped head first into that bangin shyt. Its funny lookin bacc because i was only like 8,9,10 years old thinkin i was the hardest banger on the planet

I aint gone claim i was hangin and bangin,but i did my dirt
I feel like I raised myself sumtimes,and the a lesser extent the streets raised me,I used to get good grades in school,was an honor student,but I liked being on the streets,plus my mom worked full time and made sure the bills were paid,but she couldnt save,so I couldnt ask for J's,so I stayed robbin messicans and high end electronics from circuit city to flip,specially as a freshman in high school,u couldnt tell me shyt,if i wanted it i did the dirt i had to,i had to look fly,but im grown now,and i work for mines so i still think im a real nikka

and I think you're the exact person the T/S was looking for

fukk is a thug phase????

If you was in the streets it was cuz you had to be in the streets round here nikkas had no better options I dabbled into shyt to keep me and the lil bros fly. Never ran with a click or nothing don't need one. Didn't claim to be this or that or label myself. Showed my lil brs what I was doing to and why not to follow me and made sure they did good.

I aint one of y'all rappers or Tv nikkas that wanna do what ours do or glorify this life. You do what you go to do and that's what makes you a man as long as you comfortable in ya own skin and taking care of business that's gangsta or a thug.

Y'all got it confused with lil nikkas runnin round wit no paper still trynna bang that shyt gets you nowhere.That ain't a thug that's just ignorant. If you aint doin it for paper don't mean shyt just stick to ya books cuz a name is just a name when you dead another nikka gone have that name

 

[Brock Landers]

I may not be the biggest or baddest thug but thanks to computers/the internet I've learned how to fukk people up in other ways

 

[newworldafro]

Nah........always amazed me, not really but you get my point, when I saw white boys "acting" more "thuggish" than me......I'm like .....the environment is what does it, coupled with moving pictures with sounds on a device called a TV that helps/ed to propel "this is the way to act"......

I lived in a majority mixed income black neighborhood, but you could say it was the less animated part of the neighborhood..................

I'm 20 years old but it feels like I'm going though a "thug" phase right now, my has gotten worse so I'm just feeling hateful and as ever.

As people just hate on me in public for no reason, now I know how Celebs & Comedians feel when people heckle them. I'm just tired of people shytting on me, why are people so fukking mean, its gotten to the point where I'm wishing death on certain people who shyt on me in public for no reason.

This nikka said something slick under his breath about me on the train the other day and I wanted to violently slam his head against either the door or the pole and hope he gets put in a coma and dies slow. I try to be cool with everyone but people just keep shytting on me and shyt is fukking with my mind.

Now I know how Pac felt in 94 - 96 and Em when was he was going though all that drama earlier is his career.

Was always kinda square and a quiet dude, but it changed during my junior yr of hs. My pops got stationed overseas and I wilded out. Started hanging with the wrong crowd. Started wearing nothing but dikkies and plain white or black tees and a red flag in back pocket. But my ass would always clean up before I stepped foot back in the house. I don't regret it though, cause that's when I started getting p*ssy. Pops came back around the middle of my senior yr and put an end to that shyt. Didn't help that I got expelled my jr yr and had to finish the year in an alternative school.

 

[Carter G. Hoodson]

Nope, my father wouldn't allow that.

 

[ROBEEZYKILLA]

naw thug is too negative of a word to be applied to me i never went through it i always been righteous and a giver to the needy and in a spiritual sense i think its paid off pretty well

Breh believe it or not alot of nikkas in the street not bc they have too but bc it's what was or is socially accepted. I knew this nikka who pops was a doctor andil nikka was in a gang. nikkas need or people need to be accepted is ehat drives that mentality. nd really nikkas did that shyt to get p*ssy. Again didn't do the thug thing and run the streets b. Ma dukes wasn't having it but

 

[Grand Cru Boo]

i would never label myself as a thug but I adapeted to my enviornment. runin around doing certain things ( im not mentioning anything but you can read in between the line) seem normal to me because my enviornment didnt necesarily illustrate it as wrong
