What do you get out of bringing up how hard you had it growing up? No trolling, serious question.
I grew up in a predominantly black neighborhood where crime and shootings weren't a rare occurrence. Where my little 6 year old cousin hit a black kid with a rock and then the kid's dad came to our house with a gun in hand...
Yet, I fail to understand why it's such a big deal to tell the world that I lived in the hood and all that. It's like a massive, pointless chip on your shoulder that doesn't even belong in the discussion.
I'm not flaming you, by the way, I'm just trying to understand what your point is in bringing that up and trying to one up whoever says anything about living the "hard life".
it was never my point to bring it up.
i quoted a post by andrei & he asked me a question & i answered it, i didnt bring it up, he did.
i dont think its cool to come from a place like that nor do i think its cool to come from money.
i dont have a chip on my shoulder at all, i said before it is what it is, its a part of my life & is definitely not worth bragging about it.
im also not trying to one up anybody, thats just your perception of it, we all read something & "take it how we want to".
all i was saying is i dont see romania being anywhere as rough as lets say south jamaica, queens, ny or bedford stuyvesant , brooklyn, ny.
they just dont compare to the way of life, they are completely different & just because you bump jay-z doesnt give you an accurate portrayal of life in the american "hood".
i really dont care about the "euro hoods" im not from them, will never go to them & dont bump their music trying to learn about them for the sake of being "internationally hood knowledgeable".
i know you are not flaming me & in no way im i coming back at you in any negative manner, but if you ask a question, i will answer it, you may not like the answer but thats just how it is, i dont bite my tongue for no man nor do i pretend to like something for the sake of being liked by others.
i do me.
not once have i been engaged in a convo w/ any of you & mentioned anything about my upbringing until it was either asked or spoken about falsely by someone whos lame comeback was to insult me by speaking about me & my upbringing.
i dont like getting personal w/ anyone & i would have no reason to bring that up considering its personal.

It's sad, because I don't think anyone was treating you like **** at all, but hey, if you want to pick fights and get argumentative for no reason, that's fine, I prefer it.
noone is picking fights, it seems as though you are trying to rile somebody up for whatever your reason is.
im not sure if your just being an ass, or you are really just struggling w/ understanding what im telling you in previous posts about me just clearing things up, clearing things up doesnt means starting a fight or being argumentative, its just your perception of it.
you have always been the kindling to any fires started here at sg, i think the true problem is you just have a hard time not saying something stupid after every post you disagree w/ & thats the sad thing about it.
i may have not spent time posting in this forum, but that doesnt mean i dont read up once & while & you stay antagonizing people, its just how you roll.
there have been several complaints concerning you & your mouth, i know you think your smart, so you should have no issues whatsoever understanding what im telling you.
