Yeah dog. I got a homie still doing time for plugging two dudes down in B-More for "GP" when a bunch of NY niqqas flooded Baltimore with crack. We lived through a genocide

Hell, what I used to do when I was from the age of 10 to 16 is :dwillhuh: that I would NEVER allow my future kids to do. I used to be obsessed with going to the "hard" areas where shootings and stabbing used to occur to be "real." I used to take busses to Yonkers where it was a death trap. Cats got beat up and left for dead, basically being stripped naked for fresh clothes.

Now that I think about it, the ones that made it out of that Era weren't supposed to embrace change.

90s NY niqqas ran the east coast drug trade until outta towners got sick of their shyt.

It's the one thing I loved about the Wire. The tension against NY niqqas on that show was real. 90s NY niqqas flooded that city.


I will say I thought it was straight :duck: about NY dudes trying to take over everywhere until folks I heard about my cousin's friends from brooklyn getting locked up in GA and NC.:heh:

Bruh....all NY 90s niqqas would do is go outta town and either get killed or end up killing niqqas trying to push that work. I had a homie tortured to death in Texas trying to push work out there in 90s. NY was drug supplier central in the 90s....any time a niqqa was outta town was from him pushing work outta town

I don't think today's heads understand how it was to not have that shyt in your life then suddenly see it change. That paridgm shift. In my old apartment building, every year the tenants used to all get together and put up a Christmas tree. In 88 someone decided to steal that tree and there ended our communal relationship. Felt vulnerable there after...nothing was sacred any longer
these kids will literally never know how active the blocks and parks were with other kids playing sports.. america being obese now is probably a direct reflection of people not going outside and being active anymore..

outside of nintendo and sega there was very little reason to be in the house.. if it was hot, we went to the community pool.. if it was cold we played basketball at a community center..

shyt kids being in multiple sports was common back then.. I played soccer, basketball, football and baseball year round in actual leagues.. sometimes the kids on my football team would also be on my soccer, basketball or baseball team or i would be playing against them..

now kids just seem to be into 1 sport for the most part if they are into a sport at all..

do kids even sleep over at other kids house anymore :dahell: or they dont need to anymore because they can just hop on ps4 with head sets and shyt :dahell:

thats just the activity part.. I dont even want to get into the social part of how internet ruined everything.. nothing is personal anymore pretty much. I am in one of the most social jobs possible - if not the most social job possible.. I mean my ENTIRE job is talking to people and getting them to the clubs and even once monday hits, I dont have a reason to talk to anyone outside of the people I lift with :heh:

Not just regular NY nikkas too, it was Jamaican nikkas from Brooklyn who set up shop in Dallas bacc in the 80s. The stories I heard about them :wow:

One my OGs told me they killed his best friend. thru him down on the parking lot and shot him about 60 times in broad daylight in front of everyone.

Another story he told me them Jamaicans thru a grenade in an apartment complex :what:

I have no clue what part of Texas my man Tree was murdered in. All I know is that they tortured him before he died and the niqqa who went out there with him actually has the nerve to try to come back around the way and not explain how he made it back and Tree didn't. He got ran off the block
