I Love California Blacks

[How Sway?]

People let them headlines think everybody black is frothing at the mouth, emaciated, toting guns and trying to usher ongoing urban violence

but truly some of the dopest, creative, loving people live here. only in the Chi can you ride the redline, get offers to buy loud, candy, scented oils and squares, and hear some young bro's chop it up over how lupe fiasco really can't claim to be the top dog of Chicago Hip-Hop since Harvey don't even claim him like that

Tho I'm really shocked Chicago never established or had a HBCU. I really think the city, specifically the people could benefit from it greatly. Who knows what the future will bring tho...

so we gon act like chicago state doesn't exist?

Yeah I think of white New Yorkers the same. Aggro Italians and shyt.

Maybe NY ain't segregated enough, they be too quick to embrace non AA cultures

Nope, it's what's so special about African Americans. A cac from NY and a cac from Cali will be different. You can't say the same about AA's (outside of the east coast). AAVE is universal. Southern influence is universal.

I've been to Cali and those nikkaz don't sound nothing like nikkaz from Illinois.

Y'all are so cool, nice, inviting and helpful. It's just like going to Atlanta or Chicago for the first time. Never really realized how similar the Midwest, southern and western coast blacks are. Dialect, fashion, accent ect. I gotta lot of East coast people (mostly jersey with a few NY nikkas sprinkled in) and damn they different. Why the fukk are they so unfriendly and confrontational. Like damn nikka chill.

Cali is so big and spread out, its like 3 states in 1, but being as diverse as it is its all connected...if that makes sense.

Basically, LA culture may be different than the Bay, but from a resource and scenic perspective its kinda the same. Kendrick's Women, Weed, & Weather statement might be one of the realest songs to describe most nikkas lifes livining in Cali.

As a black man, its really considered a paradise if you got your shyt straight and move with finesse.

These East coast folk treating Ricans like they folk too. @ that assimilation.

I still blame the weather. You can hear it in the music.

G funk



Cold blooded grimey NY shyt



I love em both tho

 

[MrWestGrand]

Also some of my NY brehs had to deal with tennament building and shyt, and being in such close proximity to others can create stressful, confrontational personalities.

The dense population keeps NY brehs grimy l guess.

Just a opinion.

Y'all are so cool

We East Coast have the most diversity of blacks tho. We got AAs, Islanders, Africans, you name it. .

You somehow missed the point he was making. The diversity IS the difference though I see more of you foreign Blacks coming down South in AA communities similar to how yall ended up North.

Why because we don't wear skinny jeans and skateboard like west coast nikkas

You think Tyler's Rap group is what all of us look like?

nikka, people skateboard all over the U.S., and don't be acting like you East Coast mob boss acting-Scarface reenactment fashionistas, aren't pretentious either.

Idk, what Hollywood has done to your perception of Black people in a state with 52 counties. In Southern California especially, we ain't Jackass extras and sound like we live on the coastline.

It's you like nikkas live inside Pun's mention "Little Italy" and have no idea what the rest of the U.S. is like, why you think we laugh when Biggie wrote "Going Back To Cali"?

He goes to L.A. one time, and thinks that's all there is to us, and your coast supposedly has the 5% smartass, "Black God" nikkas, but it's apparent that's all you know about our end of the country - which is still 95% less than you geographically retarded motherfukkers are capable of understanding. DAMN SHAME, we know all about your Coast and had to respect it since you egotistical fukkboys, can't go a minute without reminding everyone else where Nas bought his slice of pizza.


I have friends out there, but you can personally, drown yourself and "sleep with the fishes" under the Hudson River - you Sopranos fukk nikka. You guys think your so much culturally better than us, the South and Midland, when Italians and Greeks had you make countless albums dedicated to some Goodfellas/Godfather worship fukkery.

But, we're the "weird" ones, yeah got it.

 

[Murkman]

Shhhh... let them keep thinking it's all Asians and whites in Silicon Valley breh!

Let these other bum ass nikkas keep thinking we all are some Tony Hawk, Odd Future motherfukkers too.

Most mentally dense fukktards of all regions, think they know everything.
