What are the duties of an uncle?

[Yinny]

Be ready to work in a lot of “Whatchu know/you don’t know nothing bouts” into every conversation you can

Many embarrassing stories about your brother

 

[Sunalmighty]

Give good advice. My uncle Joe gave me some advice when I was a senior in high school. He said...

"If you get rid of 90% of the Niccas in your life, 90% of your problems will disappear"

I'm 40 and followed that advice for 23 years. I see why he told me that

There's all kind of resource uncles.

The player uncle - never marries, keeps fine young women around
The street uncle - can teach u how to fight, shoot dice and gamble
The nerd uncle - can fix any kind of electronics, great advice on education
The hardworking uncle - can build and repair anything. thinks everyone is lazy bcuz they dont work 16 hours a da .


Im the player uncle. Cars, women, traveling, gmb. My nephews and young cousins love to be around me. They can see the freedom i have compared to their parents.


Teach them what u know and what your brother doesnt kno . Uncles are really like older brothers. Theyll ride or die for u.

Be a positive role model

Explain the PYT breh

One of my uncles somehow always has a new young girlfriend and he dresses like that lol

I'm 27 and now I'm basically competing with that nikka for the same girls

Unless the parents are complete fukkups, then your job is to reinforce what the parents teach from a less disciplined perspective.
Don't pass judgement. Be an open ear when needed.
Maybe pass the lil breh some cash from time to time.
Condoms when he reaches "that age" and can't / doesn't wanna talk to dad about it.
Let him drive your really fast car when he turns 15.

Basically, your job is to be the non-judgemental, wise / fun dude you always wished you had in your corner. Uncles are cool like that.

Like Iroh.

You basically play an older brother role with the room to step into a father like position if ya own brother ain't shyt (speaking generally) or happens to pass.

My youngest uncle is the one I have a closer rapport with since we grew up together and had a brother type relationship with me always getting in his shyt and him looking out for me when my father wouldn't.

Got my love of Reggae from him, learnt how to work DOS and install computer programs/videogames and other tech shyt from him. Got introduced to Porn and started selling it as a kid indirectly cause of his massive blues collection at the time.

We fought (and still do today from time to time) but he's a good sort and always did right by me growing up while my other uncles just acted cordially with me.

If he needed a kidney I'd give him, no questions asked.

[Germms]

Giving kid cash every birthday / holidays / everything you see him

I'ma keep a 20 in my pocket every time I visit the little breh.

Just being that cool, objective nikka, that looks out when you have to. Be it, a place to lay their head if they riff with their parents or if they have some lightweight beef on occasion. You give also need to give that hard-nosed unadulterated advice when they need it. That non sugarcoated real life shyt. Father's do should do this, but some aren't built like that or they are nonexistent like mines lol...

The wavy light skin gurls tho breh...
