I remember riding a bike through 'South LA' to hit up a soul food spot from a client's place I was working at. It was year 1 out of the 10 years I had spent there. It wasn't until I crossed Rosecrans and East Compton Bvld that I realized where I was. The streets I was cutting through off of the main roads looked like straight up suburbs. And I had no clue that LA was deliberately rebranding "South Central LA" to "South LA" to shake the history.
Yeah man. LA looks nice and really it always has.
But these gang nikkas don’t care about none of that. They’ll rob/gank you and then go skateboard at Venice like it’s nothing.
One side of my family is OG 40s. Also got one uncle that is Piru because he’s from Compton. I know a little bit about these politics, and I’m telling you, these dudes ain’t playing out here.
I hate what happened to dude. But man, check in for real and learn what’s what and where to go, what you can wear and keep your head on a swivel. Stay strapped and never post your location while you are still there.
