Why is the Allure of Street cred so Strong?

in light Gill's kid passing away. (Rip to the breh)

I think majority of coli have been there. When we young, parents are middle class, but the street sht just appealed a lot more.

if i aint move out of miami, god knows where id be right now. Is it culture?

 

[get these nets]

Why did it appeal to you?

 

[Rn.]

The essence of freedom. People at the bottom of the socioeconomic latter seem more free because there's less care taken to the lower class. The allure of being able to do what you want is enticing to a lot of people who didn't get to experience that. Rich people take control of their life's, are well mannered and very strict when it comes to certain things

 

[gho3st]

Why did it appeal to you?

respect and brotherhood. Knowing nikkas wont dare try bc they know the time you're on. The bytches loved it too...

I remember when my boy got cheated on. And we looked everywhere for the dude Who fcked his girl. now that i think about I thank god we aint find him.

Appeals to the caricature that people think Black masculinity is

The streets need me.

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

Because we have nothing else. No other image to look up to besides that one and it's by design.

You don't see black scientists and inventors and mathematicians and programmers being pushed in our community anymore.

The only people that black youth have to look up to is these gangstas in rap who in turn produce more gangstas.

It's a never ending loop. We need another image QUICKLY and we need to put it out there to both ourselves and the world.

And when we had a good example in Obama, jealous negroes couldn't wait to tear him down. People in the hood who ain't fit to tear his shoe laces talking about how he ain't ish. It's sickening.

Fast money. Make in one night what it would take a year at a square gig

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

Everybody I knew that ran the streets wanted to get out. They did it for survival. If given a choice, they would’ve bounced.

Kids today treat the streets like a game or a movie. No remorse. Then you add drugs into the mix and it’s Russian roulette every time you go outside.

Dead or in Jail. That’s your only options.

The shyt'll never make sense to people that can't understand or a refuse to accept they're not "nikkas"

 

[How Sway?]

Maybe its the Clout, respect, 'seemingly' easy money and, honestly, the friendship/brotherhood.

If you notice, street neegas tend to have a huge social network, especially if they're in a region that's very gang oriented.

But the irony is that, a lot of these dudes will meet their demise through someone whom they considered to be a "friend".

Yet you voted for McCain

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Value system places cred really high. Brothers need a new perspective on life. Being a crash dummy had been highly elevated and celebrated for too long. We need to look at that shyt like it's goofy because most of it is. How many Street dudes today would even get an episode of American gangsta. When is the last time you heard of a street dude that was a mastermind or kingpin? Were celebrating goons and foot soldiers. Literal crash dummies. No longer bosses.

Even the aspirations are low as far as streets go.

I'm voting for Trump in 2024, your point? I still like the nxgga, we just got different politics
