[Double Burger With Cheese]

nikka I’ll fucc you up. Would you like them nikkas that robbed you last time to come pay you a visit again?

Yes, call them for me fakkit

 

[Kasper KArr]

Yes, call them for me fakkit

nikkas hemmed you up. Had you shook for your life. “DONT SHOOT DONT SHOOT TAKE THE WEED AND THE KICKS BUT THEY FUFU THO. TAKE IT PAPI NI NO SELLER papi”

Its funny growing up in Cleveland because we don’t have a gang culture but extremely high crime rate which only makes sense when you realize most of the older guys I grew up around sold drugs at some people but none of them were really that high level.

The game just got watered down with too many people involved. Kinda like the rap game. It’s easier to get in the game but it’s harder to make a name for yourself

I don’t think so breh. People love to romanticize past street figures and activities in comparison to present. Thing is, a street nikka is a street nikka in any era. A hustler is a hustler any era. They times are different, but the people. They was just as ignorant and wreckless. All them nikkas did was dress more professional. If all this social media out during that era, them dudes would have been making the same mistakes.

they definitely did all the same dirt

you mentioned nikkas dressing more professional i connect that to nikkas having influences beyond criminal shyte

there was a transition around the 00's where nikkas started celebrating ignorance

nikkas is actively trying to look as ignorant & act as ignorant as possible ha

But that’s my point, that was just how people dressed back then, so they was just looking more professional by default of the era, not by being so much wiser.

My point is, you can always point a clear Dopeboy out in any era. Wether they in a suit or some new designer. You gon know when you see one.

I get what you saying though. Regardless, it was a better look

a criminal is a criminal even if he's cultured well ha*

Its bc the game is dead for the most part. Young dudes arent getting shyt for the most part they spanking each other over diss songs & respect

Aint even no money like that fr.

Plus all those heads was literally getting handed shyt by the govt. alot of plugs was federal informants.

All that shyt is stupid anyways. I almost wasted my youth

The game isn't dead, it just evolved. Like earlier we were talking about the proliferation of scamming now as compared to even little more than a decade ago, or how fent is the new big narcotic of the last 5-10 years. That's no different than g's before the 80s who didn't have crack or automatic firearms, or how prior to Vietnam there was no heroin, or prior to WWII bootlegging was the biggest illegal hustle...

There's definitely cats out here making money illicitly off drugs...

Rap is bigger than it was in all of the prior eras, so while there are more individuals dissing on wax, the actual practice of dissing someone's dead homies isn't a new thing. That's as old as street life itself, I'm sure; people of my generation were certainly doing this long before "Drill" existed, long before social media blossomed to what it is now. nikkas were certainly doing it before us, the guys doing it before us are who we learned it from...

I also think because rap is so massive in popularity nowadays, there is a bit of an illusion to consumers that "street rappers" are breaking the mold or establishing new trends. I guess that annoys me too...

Young people's history often go back about a decade. So not hearing folks talk about the 90s isn't surprising. I rarely heard young people from the 90s talk about the 80s or 70s. It's just a repeated cycle. No different than street brehs idolizing OGs and getting killed or arrested in the process. Then cacs come by and make money off of books, movies, and music while living in neighborhoods without looking over their shoulder.

Nah bruh muhfukkas romanticize the shot out of the pre-00s streets...

The game just got watered down with too many people involved. Kinda like the rap game. It’s easier to get in the game but it’s harder to make a name for yourself

I don't even know if the "harder to make a name for yourself" thing is unique to Millenium cats. We hear about the 80s and 90s but everyone from those eras weren't millionaires or killers...

Now you know everybody can't identify a dope boy when they see him . You know the general observer equates "dopeboy" with chains and rings and designer...

No doubt. But the streets ain’t as organized as they used to be. Especially once social media took off. And don’t get me wrong you still got organizations. But these nikkas linking up from different parts of town. The days are gone when so and so ran a particular part of town

shyt reminds of American Gangster and how they portrayed Frank Lucas and how people complained of him being portrayed as this gangster gentleman when he was really some vicious illiterate country nikka

they celebrated criminality for sure

we can both do the same thing but in totally different fashions though

[Ol’Otis]

he was really some vicious illiterate country nikka

facts
Nicky Barnes and Sterling Johnson let it be known Frank was off the rack and country

@murksiderock
Maybe music is today’s generation way of telling they story, and plus all them goofy documentaries people put on YouTube about nikkas who died or supposedly killed
