That kid has lived a sheltered life. Nothing hard about him.

[@peacee8007]

Mf that got it be the bads 1s n the hood 4real

[@dmar5714]

But the flip of that is nobody would want to live in the hood by choice they lived there because they had no choice

[@CptInsano835]

He's lived a life his father strived for and climbed a ladder to get to. Now, his son has another ladder to climb to further the family legacy. Instead hes trying to climb down the ladder his father climbed lol. All this hard stuff is peoples ego not giving them a chance to live healthy. They stay trying to prove their hardness when truly nobody even cares.

[@calikings420]

his kid reminds me of everykid that ever pulled a gun on me an put it away when they saw it didn't phase me 🤣 always had colorful dyed dreads and a more colorful peacock clown suit on

I’ve said that a time or two to my sons when they wanted to disrespect their dad. “He carried u before I did. U lived in his sack before u lived in my uterus so don’t ever think u can EVER disrespect him in front of me.”. Some may disagree with me but I stand on what I said. My husband worked his ass off for our family and in no way, shape or form will I let them disrespect him. Now they’re grown & 1 has a 4 year old son and the other has a daughter on the way. I see my son father his son like his dad fathered him and without a word I smile knowing they’ll never accept that disrespect towards them or ANYONE else whether they make the same as someone, a different race, religion, sex, etc. makes me proud. Sorry I went on . Have a blessed life

TI's son is going out his way to be tough.

[@ryen49]

its the culture they respect black tough guys living in poverty stucxk in the hood more than they do people with careers going to college an living in the suburbs as black americans. it puts pressure on black youth to conform to the hood mindset because our culture is not controlled by black people in the suburbs its controlled by poor black people in the hoods

It happens all the time with kids who aren’t even rich it isn’t mind boggling CB4 and Malibus most wanted werent concepts pulled out of thin air.

You’d be surprised. The people who come with the persona shame him for living the “good” life. It’s hard for a kid who is developing his identity to balance the two.

[@asalas639]

​@drecool85 it's a mind set that society pushes on these kids. Does not matter if you are rich or poor, once that message is embedded in their brain, it's an uphill battle getting our kids back.

[@kingstonellington817]

I felt estranged from my people cause I grew up in a white neighborhood in the suburbs. I was never accepted the same by the black kids that grew up in the hood and shared those experiences. So I completely understand the feeling, but I would never crash out my life just to belong. You have be strongminded enough to forge your own way and connect with your people as best you can...sure you may never fit in perfectly...but that's life. You have to be mature enough to understand that your parents also put you in a position to not have to go through and deal with what some of your peers had to as well.

[@mommyofceos]

I always thought the suburbs were middle class but Ti and Tiny are very wealthy and beyond the suburbs. They live in a different class above all the rest.

I graduated from high school in 1996. Right around the time of Pac and Biggies's death, right in the middle of the east coast west coast beef. At that time our culture valued street cred a lot more than it does in these modern times. I grew up and suburbs and I felt the disconnect from other black kids that grew up in the hood. I saw so many other black kids that grew up in the suburbs ruin their lives chasing that validation and acceptance from the hood and the streets. You have to value the advantages in life your parents worked hard and put themselves in a position to give you. There are other lanes in life where you will find the people that appreciate you for you. You may never ever feel as accepted or may never have as strong of a bond with those black kids that grew up in the hood together, but as you get out and explore the world, you'll find your place. It ain't even that big of a thing for kids coming of age in this generation. He really making dumb choices trying to be what he doesn't have to be.

But being capable of violence and the understanding of when to use that is what determines the intelligence and integrity, morality of a man. It’s not just about respecting others it’s about respecting one’s self. You can lose even when you have won. What are you willing to sacrifice when you allow yourself to loose control. Nor can you woop everyone and by that I mean, there is nothing fair about surviving and for one man it’s about loosing a parking spot for another that spot might be worth killing for. That’s way before the internet and ego’s. We can’t live paranoid but that’s not the same as living reckless.
