Aiite... I been seein a lot of shit on TV lately... in Rap videos, rap songs, movies, and other media that is basically glorifying the ghetto as some great, cool place to live... 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..


You should join God Squad, for you are the God of Truth. I lived in a ghetto for a while, and I will tell you now, if you move there then you either have mental probs, or you have serious money probs, which won't improve in there.

Ok, i grew up in Sacramento..................
An if anybody at all knows Sacramento, i'll let u know what part an so on (Not gonna start blabbering in-case y'all know nothin about the place)

But i had a hard livin, a rough past or whatever ya wanna call it, i guesss it could be known as a ''ghetto''....an SPY, You are sterotyping too the fullest right now...

Just because its all crack fiends an thugs in tvs, an what you hear in songs, dosent make it true.........

What about the people in ghettos that have children that are hopeful for college? they will have computers, fr school work an so on, maybe its not the latest model, but not all computers cost alot of money, your just being small minded right now man......

Just because its a Ghetto, that dosent mean ta say that all the kribs have no heating, electricty, an so on, dosent mean that everybody will have ta share a krib with 6 kids an only 2 bedrooms, its not all what you see on tv ya know...an believe me, i've seen it first hand, so i think i know more than your suburban born with a silver spoon in your mouth arrogant bitch ass!

You are completly wrong

69% of rich people, started off with NOTHING, its called HARD WORK, Just because you grew up with everything (an i know you did because of the way you are talking) dosent mean HARD WORK Does not pay off

First you get a job..............
Then you stick at it.............
Then you get a promotion or Razie............
Then you gain EXPERIENCE.............
Then you can try an go onto bigger things

Its the indvidual, not the whole population

Take my momma for example, she works in ''Time-share'' which is foreign people who are looking into buying properties in apartments, hoitels an etc.....an she came alkong way, because of HARD WORK An dedication, we are now living in Orlando, in Spring Lake apartments, we live here rent free, because it comes with the job, it has a pool, tennis courts (wwhich you never gonna catch me using) Jacuzee's, a lake for fishing (never gonna use that neither)...but yeah, my point is, if you have the attitude your never gonna get nowhere in life, then you wont

HARD WORK AN DEDICATION Is all it takes

Look, you are really pissing me off here, because you are disrespecting everything i have ever been thru, an everything that fianacially challened african amerians stand for, so nigga FUCK YOU!!!!!

i know what a time share is i own a few ... but to be honest that 69% is bull shit my uncle is a economics major and your statistic is completely wrong if you take the amount of "poor" people that are in america and took the amount of individuals that do come to money the ratio to poor people is still very very large. what i am saying is that there is a cycle to things... in most cases...<--notice ... but yes in most cases once you are poor you don't break the cycle it is just a common fact. most people that do come into money werent "poor" by any means they came from middle class families which is different from being poor in more ways than i can describe.. i admire ppl like your mother but i can almost guarentee for the 1 that made it that there are prolly 100 if not more than didnt make and thus they continue the cycle .... there are more individuals out there than the "finacially challenged african americas" i respect everything you stand for its just that you need to open your eyes and realize that life isnt always a happy story.... o yea hard work and dedication are nothing.. i volunteer at a local homeless shelter and alot of those ppl are very bright individuals they have just not been given the chances i have been given in life...

Ok..........

You have strong points there.....
BUT......
You really need too choose your words alot better, not in that post as such, but in previous threads

you came across as some rich boy that is hating on ghettos like they lower the standard of your rich living, but i get what ya saying about the whole cycle, it is true, some people can just not make it out the ghetto, but like i stated, its the individual, if ya put in enuff work, then one day it should pay off, maybe you wont be rich, an thats all good n well, but at least you'll have a half decent living, an a respectable one too.............
