Suburbs vs. The ghetto
 
alright lets look at this for a second.....

why is it that people seem to respect you more as an emcee regarding where you are from...if your from teh ghetto or the hood so to speak. people look at you with more respect as an emcee. but if your from the suburbs and shit you arn't on the same level as these rappers

a lot of people dont' even know it but these peole you see in teh mainstream, they arn't even from the hood.....growing up they lived next door to Danny and Becky Smith on 1456 Pleasent Lane.....

shit nobody reps the suburbs except for like DZK......
people look at living and bieng from teh suburbs and rapping as a bad thing....

shit i'm not from the ghetto, a matter of fact, fuck the ghetto....i'm from the burbs aight. i dind't have it hard growing up. my parents provided for me and everything...i don't fuck with no foodstamps or any welfare/workface.....i'm a suburban nigga...my life is FUCKIN GOOD....

what yall think about this shit

it all depends what image your trying to portray, if tryin to be a 'thug' and do tha gangsta rap thang, you aint gonna get props if your reppin the O.C.... but i think most headz dont really give a shit if your from tha burbs or ghetto, as long as you aint tryin rock a certain image that dont fit your surrondings and experiences...

depends on your fan base
the ghetto fans relate better to ghetto born rappers
also depends on your lyrical content

Look, I'm from the hood. Don't EVER say fuck the hood again. People from the hood wanna hear people from the hood because they need to relate to a common struggle. It's like being shot with a 12 guage and then hearing someone rap about being shot with a pellot gun. I don't believe in enviornmental discrimination, but what the suburban struggle has been lack of authenticity. You feel like you wanna be involved with Hip Hop but when you do people make you feel like you're an imitation and aren't real, this is wrong. Although, that's a pale struggle when considering the shit people in my neighborhood have to go through. Try to be understanding of why things are the way they are. THe problem with alot of suburban people is, they try to make their neighborhoods like ours. Which is completly retarded because they should be using their different enviornment to create different music. Like DZK is trying to make the suburbs look like some hard ass area where shit goes down all day, g. You can rap about it, and everyone has thier own struggle, just don't ignore our strugle to add more justification to your own.
