im from the southside of chicago, englewood to be exact, it dont get no more hood then that

mfs arent trying to end up like their moms cousins and ect ending up a babydad/mom. they on some other shyt.
you comparing a big ass city like chicago to baltimore is the issue. chicago has its ruff areas but you can get away if you want you can go downtown or up north if you want to remove yourself from that hood mentality for a few hours in more small cities you dont have that option.
and being that we are a bigger city progressiveness/individuality is more acceptable in some instances. chance, chief keef, lil durk,kanye, and common are all from the southside .all the hood dudes fukk with chance and all the nerds fukk with keef, everything isnt so cut dry here. all of them have way different outlook of Chicago
