So I been in Queens, NY for a month now...[Random Observations]

[Spatial Paradox]

Moving from Philly to NY, I didnt think would be a big cultural difference, but goddamn
Im staying in Jamaica, Queens, but I want to live farther north soon, maybe Flushing or Elmhurst.

- NY'ers aint soft. I aint seen no violence, no fights, not even a gun, but I can tell niccas aint suckas.

- Nikkas think my Philly accent is "country"

- So many cultures and diversity. Seems like whenever I see a brother, and say "wassup", breh responds in a crazy ass accent, either Jamaican/ African/ French/ some shyt i dont comprehend...
I cant hold a convo with them Jamaican niccas, breh.

- That E train is a journey

- Shyt is segragated as hell. I aint seen no white people at all in Jamaica, only black and Spanish. Flushing seems to be all Asian. Jackson Heights is Middle Eastern. Corona/ Elmhurst is Latin. All the cacs is in Astoria and LIC (expensive as hell).

- The ladies

- Seems like people not from Queens hate coming here. I told Brooklyn and Harlem people that I live in Queens and they do the

I wouldn't be surprised at the bolded. I met a girl from Philly and definitely thought she was from a bit further south than that.

Not a knock or anything, but most of the people I've met from south or west of the Tri-State Area sound southern to my ears, with the accent gradually getting heavier the further south you go. Probably says as much about black NY'ers and our accent as it does about everyone else

It kinda makes you wonder. If Cacs are driving up the prices for ya'll up there. Then what is the end game? Where are the native NYers gonna move to? What is the Future of NYC?

Just a whole bunch of 2nd childhood ass yuppies and new blacks

NYC is gonna turn into a European city like Paris or Berlin, all the working class/poor people live in the suburbs while the upper middle class/rich live in the city

This thread makes me wanna move to NYC! Seriously talk about the best city in the lower 48!

I tried to tell a female from philly that y'all we're country too (i'm in the dirty, btw) ... and she got mad as fukk.
Ol' never been outside of Philly and the south a$$ niccas...


got love for her tho.

op sounds dope.I always wished I was from new york city gotta visit one day.I had to be from wakk ass cold chicago

How can you shyt on Chicago nicca?

I lived in BK my entire life but Queens is my favorite borough, I'd love to buy a house around the Whitestone Bridge area or live in Queens Village/Hollis. Both options are unrealistic for me lol but a nikka can dream can he? I just love the suburban feel of the outskirts of Queens


Also all those colorful buses in the late 90s, early 2000s

A lot them dudes never been out there boro before.
The other half are west Indians. And don't PA from Virginia.

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Midwest nikka at heart, but NYC is probably the only spot outside the region I wanna move to

 

[TrifeGod]

I haven't been to NYC in over decades...they would think I'm food now since Ive been in the south People still ask me where I'm from though because of my accent I have a weird ass proper up north with a hint of south its weird.i just call my accent null cuz it rly depends on my mood if i get mad its straight DA FUKS IS POPPIN*spits everywhere*

 

[-----]

Most surprising of all is how friendly people have been. I expected people to be rude and on they own thing I guess its just a NY stigma, but most of the the brehs I met have been cool and willing to hang out/ show me around

People in Philly are nastier and meaner than NY'ers at this point in time.

If u really want to get a feel for that old NY.... ride the A train end to end.

Bonus points if u ride all the way out to Far Rockaway....... and make it back unscathed

man i was in Far Rock for MAYBE a week and a half


i damn near became a blood

South Westchester is up there but it still feels hood. Its kinda like the outer boroughs, but with more hills. Y.O. is right up by North Bronx, which is why Jada's swag is WILD NY Italian.

Ain't the east Bronx mostly Italian. The north Black/West Indian and some Spics.
