Jim, You're obviously trying to be deep. Kudos?
The play on Upper Manhattan, is less about socioeconomic dilemma and more- lame newbie, trying to appropriate something that is not theirs. Guilty?
No ones really chanting "more bullets, more ghetto shit". But according to you that's what we mean when we say "keeping it real"- right?
It' couldn't possibly mean less name changing, nabe hoeing and more WuTang?
Sometimes shits deep and cats feel you.
Sometimes you get mad- because you're a lame and cats think you're silly.
Gang Green Dallas 2011 Nicca!
Im from NYC and have lived in Harlem for 15 years.
The artist is advocating violence. How much plainer could it be than in that picture?
Im not mad and I really dont care what you, my cats or other cats think.
