I thank my moms from moving us from Baltimore to Northern FL when I was 13 yrs old. It changed my life completely. I learned how to appreciate nature and country living. Went on to college and never looked back. A lot of the hommies I knew growing up in Baltimore are DEAD now or doing BIG TIME. Thanks mom for having the courage, for wanting a better life for me and my sister.

The cholo side of my family has brought nothing but pain and misery to the other side thats trying to build a future… All gangs give us latinos a horrible rep… I love my chicano culture and the aesthetic, but I can’t back anyone who wants to bang… The worst part is when they don’t even have to go down that route, but still do cause they want to emulate someone..

I'm from Oklahoma City. I happened to be in San Diego and took the train to L.A. to go club hopping and experience the night life. One of the first things I did was find a local tour guide/crackhead. Held him down with some Whataburger and his choice candy. He gave me a tour of downtown. Now mind you, I had a bald fade and was wearing Tim's and a brown southpole suit back in 02. I found myself in the middle of a turf war. Just walking through downtown I noticed a couple of guys was following me. I asked my guide whats up with them. he was like nothing they just checking you out, you don't look like you're from around here. So we keep walking. The next time I turn around it was like 20 of them. My instincts started to kick in so I bent the first corner I could. While they couldn't see me after I bent the corner I went into a coffee shop and slid to the floor in one of the booths. About five minutes later I heard them out front looking for me. Someone even popped they head in the door and asked the clerk if they had seen me. The clerk told them no. After about ten minutes the clerk told me it was clear. I had her call me a cab and got the fuck out of there . I won't lie, they had shook.

🤣🤣🤣Ice T ain't lying about nothing. Raised in SCLA since 1985

[@laramiejames7895]

Ice T has had one of the most interesting lives… I am long left from the streets 30yrs+ and in my travels I’ve literally ran into ppl that knew him and NONE of the ppl from back then were righteous. 6 in the morning… there was a time when at least juvenile warrants expired & had to be reprocessed. I lived that song more than once to dodge warrants What Ice left out and what seems to be a common theme to do, is not mention that the dope that ALL gangs are moving is coming and has always come from the same ppl. If you survive long enough, keep your mouth shut and move up in street life, there will come a time that you could find yourself sitting on a couch next to someone that you were shooting at and vice versus decade earlier. And you WILL be expected to play nice or cancel Christmas. The streets is really just one big scam

[@michaelzero5278]

It's common sense

[@blackbolt57]

Life lessons you never forget,or at least you shouldn't forget,even if your life has been elevated, those sides of life are a whole different mentality and everything spoke on here is 1000% accurate, straight no chaser and yet it seems to be glamorized and glorified in many ways nowadays and it really shouldn't be.

I grew up in Cali. Walked in some hoods dolo with no problems. Not knowing anybody. But, I know when I’m around some real wolves. When you start to feel like all eyez are on you, that’s when it’s time to dip

[@daokeyching8270]

Today, statistically, you’re safer in the greater LA area than you are in San Bernardino. Get in where you fit in, walk like you know where you’re going, and enjoy your vacation.

[@westside8514]

Hmmm and Who do you think turned San Bernardino out ? L.A cats moved to the IE and brought that Crip & Blood culture there Dino is poor…ain’t nothing out there to rob lmao

[@idontthinkso1559]

San Bernardino is part of the greater Los Angeles metro area. San Bernardino is about an hour or less from LA depending on the part and there’s parts of LA city that are further from each other than that.

Dosen't matter where you are, always be aware of your surroundings, trust nobody, anyone can be a potential victim, like Ice said they're hungry!!!🤔🙏🌎✌

[@richhoops2413]

Yep. I was carjacked at gunpoint in Burbank. This was Mothers Day on a Sunday morning. I pulled up to a gas station and pressed the button to release the key on my 1990 5.0 (this was common on early 90's cars). I turned around to a gun being pressed against my neck. To your point, I am very aware of my surroundings now.

[@dgtexaz713]

In my opinion, Detroit is several times more “intense” than LA. Having a notorious “gang culture” allows one to “abide by those rules”. Detroit, the are “no rules”.

@Dcain2 definitely agree with you..the unpredictably of it makes it dangerous 😳. It's a crip from cali that stay on my cousin's block(he tattooed up with the state of cali on his arm and crip on arm)..He told me these Detroit niggaz scare me because everyone looks like they are ready to shoot you for no reason and a nigga pulled a strap on him for thinking he was staring at him at a Liquor Store. Living here back and forth you become numb to your environment. Protect yourself at all times
