Do Like Game Say"Take A Walk In Mih Chuccs Cee All Tha Drama I Go Threw"

to be truthful i hate it when i go to the mall and see some white kids in durags and shit then they hop in their parents company car and go back to a neighboor hood where there houses cost trump money, why would you wanna be ghetto when you have a chioce, rap and tv made it better you guys are right, the only reson we own a computer is cuz my mom works on one for a hospital, shit i know all the crackheads by name and the drug dealers are the people that you wanna make friends with so you dont feel scard walking down they street, thats where i live, the street with the same pot hole in front of our house for 10 years while the street on the other side has brand new curbs every two years

A show on VH1 recently talked about "ghetto passes"... What the fuck? A ghetto pass? it's not something that i think would be coveted...

I grew up in a Detroit ghetto, eastside Detriot near a housing project called Bagley...Its not a fun place to live, or a place i want to live...

The ghetto isn't a bunch of thugged out homeboys chillen, got guns and nice cars, bitches and ho's, ganstas everywhere... it's not what you see on TV...

The getto is a place where you look out ya window, and theres a tall ass old dude wit Pink Shorts up above his knees, a Gray Flannel shirt, Pink sandals and black socks, an outfit he jus picked up at goodwill for 3 bucks...But A nigga that would still beat your ass if u made fun of him..

The ghetto is a place where u see 3 crackheads pushin a grocery cart around, pickin up anything they see on the ground, hopin they cuold sell it to get their next fix...

The ghetto is when u got a Heroin addicted mother, 6 kids livin in the house next to you, the mom not carin bout anything but her next Dip.. the kids hungry knockin on peoples doors askin for food..

The ghetto is a place where u see a kid walkin down the street, no parents, wearin clothes 3 sizes too big for him, lookin for someone to bum a meal off of...

Yea sure, u got gangs, violence, u got the homies u chill wit...

But i'm tired of people assumin the ghetto is a cool place, when they've never been in one, lived in one... The Hood is bein made into somethin cool, where people want to be, when all of us who live here only dream about makin it out...

The geto is a cold, vielent, poverty strucken place... My 2 older brothers were shot to death in front of me, 1 was the wrong dude, the other was because he stole from some nigga's dad... Shit is fucked up where i live...

I'm not sayin that nobody else on here came out the hood, i kno peeps onhere that have...

But for those of ya'll who havn't, the ghetto is not what we see in the Media...

And Props to all the rappers who bring it real... Nas, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Mobb Deep, Ball and G, Bone Thugz, Eminem, KRS1, NWA...

Thats all i got to say..

I prayed that someone with some respect would say finally say something like that..

I love you :love:
It was perfect

sounds harsh...I definately wouldn't wanna live there...and third world countries?....maaan...that's BAAADD!! it's like those commercials you see on tv...with some anorexic kid with flies all over him...that shit is horrible...

well...it's reasons like this that make me thankful for living in TDOT...well...mississauga...but it's all good :laugh:

thank god for the nigga that started thiz thread mayn thank i grew up in the sac town gutters me and my fam never had money we lived a shitty lil house that as soon as u walk in u can already see my room wich waz the living room 1 bedroom all my broz and sisters were in that room

liike jimmy gunz said ive been waitin for a thread like thiz thank u

honestly.........i didnt read anyone elses posts.

plague, just like your avy says...........you speak the truth brutha. the ghetto isnt something to glorify, its somewhere that you have to aspire to overcome, surpass......and elevate beyond...........or become a miniscule fixture of.

s.v.

whiztler...your from sac huh???...ruggish, ruggish. im from stockton (209 life). cats outside of our area might not know.........but shit is rough out here in most parts. word. my city has had the murder capital i dont know how many times. shit gets depressing some times....but ya always got to stay on your toes and keep an eye out. the craziest shit always seems to happen when your unprepared....or least expect it.

s.v.

^^^ Yo detriot the murda capital.. Murda Mitten.. Chek it online we the most dangerous city in the country... I Kno Sac bad too tho

Uppppin this shit for some feedback...

I couldn't agree less with the thread. The "ghetto" as you like to call it isn't something that's fun, or as the way people depict it. Yeah, it's a trashy place to live in, and it's not really the way movies and TV show it. As many people said as well, it isn't cool at all, my mom would've gotten kidnapped as a child if it weren't for the fact that the asshole didn't push her that far into the car, my dad almost got robbed and killed, the roaches are large and annoying, the noise at night is loud it isn't fun.

Need to get this message out to all the wannabe's out there who brag about being hood, while slacking off to make this society better, and thinking they look cool while doing it.

*Nuff Said*.............
