The Clipse grew up middle class, no struggle but gravitated to the drug game ... is this common?

Also Europeans like OP probably don't understand that in America there is a huuuuge difference between growing up in a middle class black suburb (like Clipse) and growing up in an all white suburb (like Drake). Especially in the 80's and 90's...

Compton is a suburb of LA

I never been to Virginia. I always thought having a front yard meant suburbs. Ain’t urban for a city landscape?

Yeah, I have. And they all had front yards aside from 3 places that were apartments and a motel.

Having a front yard don’t mean suburbs

Is middle class automatically suburbs?

Is this like white picket fences and shyt or a suburban area like hidden valley in Charlotte?

Because I grew up in a house with a yard and we damn sure weren’t middle class. My dad and uncles was robbing nikkas and selling work.
Most cities have ghetto suburbs due to gentrification.

D.C. has certain areas of PG County - especially the area on the SE side of DC.

ATL has inner suburbs of Fulton and DeKalb County.

LA has Infamous ghetto suburbs like Compton.

Nowadays, the city is more middle class than a lot of inner suburbs.

That’s what I was thinking.

One of my cousins grew up middle class in Jacksonville. Nice house in Arlington....went to Sandalwwood high. She went to FAMU....she somehow got into pushing weight(not crazy amounts but enough) with her boyfriend and ended up doing 2 years bc of it. Keep inmind my fam is from the hood but all my uncles n aunts went to college and have regular middle class type jobs

It does happen.

but they still sold drugs tho, so they not rapping about what they lived? being in the middle class has nothing to do with anything. they still in the struggle. Drake on the other hand has never been in the street life or ever been around that stuff until after he got rich. this dude was 18 years old driving a Acura :dead:

I guess we'll have to establish a concrete definition of "middle class" ...the shyt varies wildly...some folks will gross 55k even 45 n holler out "middle class"....n i wouldnt feel comfortable n confident claiming that until 100k....n thats the basement imo

In America "middle class" is an undefined subjective abstract concept...which is a subject within itself
