Guy starts the video off by saying and I quote...

"I'm one the hood members"

Its not the message, its the messenger. Who for some reason is trying oh so hard to be a hood nikka.

This negro grew up in a house in the suburbs with a basketball court in his backyard. Stop being obtuse.


Ok I hear you and in case no one figured it out right now is that I’m playing Devils Advocate because these Ja Morrant discussions are never nuanced.

He should’ve said ‘I was not I am’ Because let me ask you this … what do you know about the town he grew up in and how far was he from the hood to be influenced by it?

Unless I’m mistaken both Tee and Jamie Morant have their college degrees. Add in that home he grew up in Im wondering where did this hood act trigger from.

I remember wanting to be snoop and crip walking during age 13-15 but that was a phase. How did Ja get to this point? It’s so abnormal
The internet. This is a Gen Z phenomenon. Suburban dudes these days be itching to crash out and it's super normal now. I know plenty of these guys in real life that run to the inner city from the burbs to find their black manhood by catching bodies, committing crimes etc. I watched two dudes I knew since they were little kids Naruto running around my church

Dudes growing up on Chief Keef and Lil Durk IG lives being fed 24/7 what is a real nikka and what is a respectable version of blackness. This is the underlying issue here and it's our problem. All of ours

Nobody ever calls the type of nikka Ja Morant is portraying a "c00n", Oreo, lame, whitewashed etc. The floor is fraud/try-hard at worst and the ceiling is "real nikka" & the respect that comes with it. Bruh is literally a caricature but he is guaranteed to be more accepted by his community than a Russell Wilson who will forever be constantly re-evaluated on his blackness/realness.
