Lord Jamar Shares Story of Getting Scared Straight on Cocaine

Jamar is probably a first generation suburbanite. Most black people who move from the hood to the suburbs are living beyond their means. Meaning, they ass still broke. So obviously, they’re still gonna have close ties to the hood. Because your whole support system still reside in the hood. When the AC actin' up in the middle of the summer, send the kids to grandma & granddaddy house. Need somebody to pickup the kids after they get out of school, one of yo cousins will pick ‘em up. Car actin’ up borrow one of yo uncles. Knowing black people who moved out of the hood & being one myself, if you down on yo luck, if there’s anything you need, there’s always someone in the hood to hold you down. My goodness, everybody in the hood ain’t that bad.

[@thedefiantancient3053]

Jack Johnson this is basically me. I lived in the projects in jamaica queens in the 90s but by the 2000s we moved out but I still had ties back in the projects so it wasnt like I was gone for good. so I understand completely where he's coming from

If you understood what you are hahaing about, maybe you wouldn't be hahaing at all. North Korea may be more suited for people that don't speak on serious matters in a joking way, but ignorance is bliss fam.

[@dwaigntyndal]

The black middle class in urban areas isn't the same as a black middle-class neighborhood in the suburbs. The whole notion of middle class isn't the same relative black and white. I lived in a black neighborhood and there was a project down the street. The boys and girls club was in the projects. My schools were by the projects. So, many of my friends lived in the projects. Reading these comments about Jamal show how so many have no idea what it is growing up in the 80s.

Lot of you guys confuse growing up in a middle-class environment and a middle-class household. The latter is what I grew up in and despite my home life, my life outside the home was no different than someone from the projects. We all went to the same schools, parties, churches, stores, basketball courts and more. My mom grew up in the hood [my dad was from outta state] and most of her family still lived there. So to say we have a "choice" is incorrect. Growing up in a middle-class household, your only one job layoff away from dropped to lower/working class. It's not like we had chefs, maids, gardeners and had limos drive us to school and shit lol

[@elisyelcajigas5641]

I gotta give my respect to Lord Jamar for his honesty on his up bringing as a middle class black man who was raised in the suburbs. I mean, if he was born in a ghetto or in the housing projects, I think he wouldn't have this knowledge of self educated black man image(well not much of an image), just this strength to fight against the demons that would have taken him down and turn him into a dreg on society. I mean I know for a fact that even with being surrounded in a world by all the drugs man has created, one man can try to be drug free and abstain away from temptation. No strong will alive can resist the temptation of drugs. There's are two types of people in the world that can resist from taking drugs: people who were raised in a world where there were no drugs being influenced onto anyone, and those who know that drugs can do heavy damage and are aware of it's dangerous and deadly affects after trying it. Yes, this only happens when all of us are either not in our right frame of minds and do it to cope with being sad, miserable, and depressed when things are not going how they plan it, or we experiment drugs just to see how it makes us feel. But it takes a strong brother like Lord Jamar to abstain from it after trying it himself. That's why he's a reformed member of the Nation Of The Gods & Earths/5 Percenter.

[@adamsmith4416]

He didn't, "almost have a heart attack". What happened instead, is that he did a load of coke got a bit freaked out that his heart was (naturally) beating fast, got a bit worried and had a panic attack. Sound less hardcore, but that's the reality. So when he was offered a bit of coke again he didn't want to look like a lightweight, so getting a bit freaked out and having a panic attack becomes "almost had a heart attack". Back in the day, I "almost had a heart attack" about 20 times. It sounds more credible than saying you can't handle your shit.

[@betrousaltaweel]

Adam Smith I completely agree with you, I know plenty of people who have "almost had a heart attack" on weed and alcohol.

[@marshbey]

Adam Smith You are exactly right. That Panic Attack will have you feeling like you about to die

[@adamsmith4416]

***** Certainly enough to put you off taking coke. I wasn't dissing the guy for taking coke and having a panic attack. I've had similar experiences myself. But at his age it's a bit childish to go around saying it was "almost a heart attack", when it clearly wasn't. Having a panic attack doesn't make you any less of a man. It just means your amygdala (the part of your brain that regulates adrenalin and the fight or flight response) got a bit overstimulated. He probably knows he had a panic attack, but feels that saying that would make him sound a bit soft, which is kind of juvenile.

[@GamingCentralTV1]

dont think his looking for credit cause crack smokers dont get credit he may not have been on the verge of getting a heart attack and geniunely may have not known

[@adamsmith4416]

+GamingCentralTV1 Seriously unlikely. I've talked to people who've had heart attacks and it's a lot different. Panic attacks can be scary as shit, but they're not heart attacks. With a heart attack the symptoms wouldn't just subside like that, believe me. If he'd had a close call, or a minor heart attack, he'd be weak as shit the next day. Even standing up would be an effort, maybe impossible and he'd have commented on that.

[@en5001]

[@regularoljoe1989]

The way he says he sells crack and sold Coke sounds the same way I was trying to lie to the drug counselor so I can get it to a drug program when I was in the feds

[@jefe.theciskokid]

GREAT INTERVIEW JAMAR

[@erfuaehimua6078]

I respect his honesty

[@travismontana158]

Middle class kid hanging around the hood. Vanilla Ice did the same thing.

[@MrJackattack2000]

Riff raff is from sharpstown houston Texas

[@robj2027]

Tony bickle Vanilla Ice was able to hang in the projects? Yeah ok...

[@PrinceSonCheeba]

Not at all. Totally different

[@travismontana158]

Rob Johnson According to him yeah. He said he lived in the suburbs but would go to the poor area which was near by.

[@MrThekidisback]

Tony bickle he wasn't upper middle class, he was lower middle class which is the same as being in the hood. He did live down the block from the project so he wasn't living a good life.

[@Thehabitualcultivator]

I got so much respect for this man. Lord jamar is a man of substance, power, and wisdom damn hes a gem.

[@Vamashara]

Lol Jamar is basically a white hip hop kid. A safe comfortable middle class home to run to if shit hits the fan while appropriating black underclass culture and going to the hood for the drugs and the hiphop. But jokes aside he showed some more sense in this (part of the) interview than he usually does actually.

[@RealDealy]

I don't know if that's the same. As black people, most of us can't escape it, especially back then. You don't live in this world by yourself. If your friends, and family, live up the block in the hood, and you live ONLY a block or two away, you know damn well that is where you would be hanging at. Whites, most of the time, can stay away from the hood, if they choose to, they have a few hundred years of a head start. Black people need to wake up, and stop comparing our lives to whites, we are not in that/world yet. It's very hard/for a black and Latin, to separate from other blacks, and latins, who aren't middle class or up, because a lot of your friends, and family, are right in the hood. I know for me growing up in NYC, you can have a nice block, but go up a block or two and you are in the hood. It might not look worn down, but shit goes down there, so its no way to escape it. Again, whites can avoid the shit because they have had access to resources for at least 70 years, whites who aren't immigrants or come from immigrants have even more of a headstart. Blacks just got access to resources in a large number, since the 90's. That was only two decades ago, AND we are still fighting for it, and more. OUR STORIES AREN'T THE SAME. WAKE UP!

[@LonnyKabal]

bubblehashman you hit that right on the head...

[@Vamashara]

bubblehashman I wasn´t all too serious with my comment. You made some good points though.

[@TheSupremeDunk]

bubblehashman actually OGsid is 100% correct because just like the white kid in his example he had the CHOICE to not participate..he could have befriended white kids, middle-class black kids who were into school....but he CHOSE to be apart of the underclass for his own enjoyment and pleasure.

[@RealDealy]

Jerome Beck what if he wasn't into school like that? Most people aren't into school, to the point you hang with people who want to go to debate, and other after school activities. This goes for all groups of people, who are in this country in large numbers. Again, you are not being realistic. If anything his story proves why there should be more money put towards different things that all kids can enjoy. This way they stay away from drugs, and just wasting their life away. Also, you don't know what was going on in his house. He may have had some trauma he was dealing with. I know this is why a lot of people get into the drug culture, they are self medicating, but they end up getting caught up. I think you need to step away from the television, and see what the world is really like!
