Is New Jersey's banning of Chief Keef one of the only bans that has held up?

Nobody wants beef with Jersey if we keeping it 100.

Especially Newark. I can't speak for other cities in the state but just like Brooklyn in a way is it's own entity in NYC, Newark is the same way in Jersey.

Camden the worst place I ever been to, by far. shyt just feels dangerous, even in the middle of the day.

Newark is horrible too, though it has some decent spots. Broad Street not to far from Newark Train Station kinda reminds me of Flatbush avenue.

Jersey got way too many shooters, they don’t have the organizations like other states where it’s money on the line, just dirty street cats tryna get a name off your head.

Yea the difference between Camden and Newark is there is way more stuff to do in Newark and they have affluent areas to live at (ie Forest Hill section, latter part of the Weequahic section going toward Hillside). Camden is about 75 percent poverty stricken with nothing to do. But as I said, what separates Newark from the rest of Jersey is that we always had our own identity. Now of course times have changed due to social media and the internet making the world smaller, so now everyone is influenced by each other. But historically, you had other cities in the state that were influenced by either NY (North Jersey) or Philly (South Jersey). But Newark always had its own culture from the African american muslim demographic/history to the black liberation/freedom fighter movement with Amiri Baraka, who's son Ras Baraka is the mayor here. When it comes to our place in music culture, our contributions are already solidified. We are also the muscle of the entire state. If nikkas want something done on some street sh1t, they ain't going to New Brunswick or Jersey City (I say that respectfully). They're going to Newark to get the job done. So people can say what they want about the state, they know they can't come to Newark and pop that rah rah sh1t.

Word. Funny thing is, I love Jersey. I lived there for a couple months throughout my life when I was moving around doing my thing out here. I was everywhere from City of Orange (Decent era) to Jersey City (Okay) to New Brunswick (By far the nicest part of Jersey I was in and cheapest), even lived in Newark for a minute (I was living on Weequahic Avenue between Clinton and Maple, right off Lyons Avenue. shyt was not pretty lol).

You my bro but knock it off lol! NY nikkas would always get robbed and chased back to Penn Station by nikkas from Prince St Projects and Hayes Homes when they would come over to the Zanzibar and Club Sensations. Sh1t, even some of our favorite rappers were getting gotted over here heavy. This is actual fact.

Oh that's fire bro lmao, yeah on the lowest of keys. I was only there for a month, but shyt is real out there.

I lived on 233 Weequachic, you could see the building on Google Maps. First day I was there I had my Yeezys on, and nikkas was plotting on me like I was rocking a diamond necklace. LOL. I was like "I gotta get outta here". All I saw was signs about "Stopping the gun violence in Newark" in the window of every store.

Oh yea I know exactly where you was at. Chancellor Ave, Lyons Ave, Elizabeth Ave, Bergen st were all my stomping grounds. South Orange Ave as well since I attended Clara Muhammad School (Islamic elementary school) and the masjid right there. Funny thing is back in the 50's and early 60's pre Newark riots, the Weequahic section was considered the nicest part in Newark. It was a predominately Jewish area back then. But after the riots in 67, it took a turn for the worse.

I didn't even know you was Muslim too. That's what's up. And yeah that's how Flatbush was. It was the nice area of Brooklyn when my parents first moved there in the 70s (about 10-12 years before I was born) by time I was growing up in the 90s it was the worst. My high school (Erasmus Hall) had a fukking police station inside the school lol. Now when I go back it's pretty decent compared to when I lived there. They gentrified it. Mad white people are back there. Damn shame they don't clean up these neighborhoods until other races start coming back.

Right. Funny thing about the weequahic section (which is in the south ward or side of Newark) is that's where most of the city's politicians reside at. From council people and mayors, they all grew up and currently live in that area. But on the flip side, within the last 20 years, it has turned into the most dangerous/violent section in Newark. Back in the 60's, 70's, and 80's it was the central ward when it had all the high rise projects up (ie Prince st, Hayes Homes, Stella Wrights, Hill Manor, etc) that had that title in the city. Then during the 90's it was South Orange Ave and the number blocks that had the title. I'm not condoning it because I was apart of that lifestyle back then and I choose not to speak on it on this format. But Newark has always been a wild city from the days of the Mafia running North Newark and the Vailsburg section back in the 40's/50's. Now within the last few years you are starting to see more changes via gentrification. Especially in the downtown area. Eventually Newark will go the way of Brooklyn and Harlem but it's still going to be an uphill battle.
