Clearly he was born in the A, but everything I've read shows that he was basically raised in the Chi.

Most chicagoans are soft

I wonder the same thing about Common, too. All he ever talked about on Resurrection(which was the last time I was really a Common fan) was "the Southside of Chicago". Dude grew up right in the thick of the sh!ts and clearly is not a banger. How the fukk?

I mean, growing up in various hoods I'm well aware that most of the thug sh!t usually gets passed around to other thugs who are into the thug sh!t and, if you're a known square and stayed in your lane, n!ggas generally will leave you be. But heavily populated gang areas are different.

How in the fukk did these two dudes make it? :dahell:

Folks really believe the entire city of Chicago is downtown and one big ass hood. Ye is from the south shore neighborhood which isn't really that bad...smh



You act like "ye is from the south shore neighborhood which isn't all that bad", is common knowledge. That was the whole point of the thread, for that type of information to come out.


The mature adult way for you to reply would've been, "..he grew up in a decent neighborhood, south shore, it's not all that bad there".

Foh with that holier than thou fukk n!gga sh!t :camby:

Is this a serious question?:what:


I love how scared of Chicago nikkas is these days:mjlol:


And Ye lived in the south suburbs during his teen years and for high school. I think he stayed in oak lawn or oak park, one of the oaks. He talk about it briefly in his speech at Phife funeral.

Ain't nobody 'scared of Chicago' n!gga I lived in Philly most of my life(West, 60th n Lansdowne) , we don't do that homo blood/crip sh!t. In Philly, EVERYBODY's hard.

But it's also the reason why I can't relate to that gang culture in Chicago and why I didn't see how a n!gga who always claiming Chicago could come out unscathed when he doesn't even bang.

But if he grew up in a cac area then, well, that it explains it all.
