This is going to be a rap only post, so protect ya neck.
I don't even know how to begin so I'm going to start simple:
Fuck Compton.
I was watching "Don't Be A Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice In the Hood" the other day and I realized that west coast gangsters were super-big cry babies. I also re-realized how super funny that movie is. Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, these tough-ass gangstas didn't have anything to bitch about. What the fuck were they fighting over? I'd like to let a few pictures speak for me.
Yes, straight outta Compton. Now, I've never been to Compton but I imagine it's pretty scary. I mean, these guys look intimidating and I imagine where they live is intimidating as well. I imagine that it's pretty run down, lots of drug addicts lying in the gutters, busted up houses, cars missing tires and up on bricks. You know, the usual.
Heeeyyyyy.....what's that? That's a nice little beach house. Cute picket fence. It looks like that house may be located in the Outer Banks in North Carolina.
Why, here's another one! Nice big front yard. This is nice too. But what is that, palm trees? Can't be anywhere on the east coast then...except maybe Florida? Hmm.
Oh my, another! So nice....what's that written there? COMPTON, CA?!?!?!
ARE YOU SHITTIN' ME MAN?!?!? This is the HOOD? The GHETTO!?!
Straight outta Compton. Fuck you. No way.
THIS is the fucking ghetto:
These are all pictures of Harlem, NY in the mid to late nineties, the same period of time that Easy-E was rapping about being gangsta cold runnin' shit.
I'm no good at rappin' and rhymin', but instead of belly-aching about getting pulled over by the cops, Ice Cube should have been rapping about how the bright California sun keeps getting in his eyes, or how "I'm sufferin' from allergies, from all these palm trees" (that rhymes!)
Speaking of Ice Cube, I'd be remiss if I didn't post this:
Wait....wrong one...
That's better.
Sorry, this was a picture-heavy post but it needed to be said.
Again, fuck you Compton.
p.s.
I'd probably get in trouble if I didn't post a few pictures of Baltimore in it's current state.
You know what, now that I think about it, fuck Compton and fuck New York. All these pictures of Baltimore are representational of, in my opinion, at least half of the city. LA and NY can't even touch that. They can consider like, maybe 5% of their city as ghetto. Hells yeah.

Okay, I'm obviously unintentionally stalking your blog today, but I feel the need to comment again because I have this same thought every time I watch a movie that takes place in Compton! Well, not the SAME thought, I mean, I never drew the whole east-coast-gangstas-are-cry-babies conclusion, but I've ALWAYS thought, "Hey, those houses look pretty nice, and they have front yards." All my life I've wanted a front yard! How could such a nice looking neighborhood be considered ghetto?? I don't get it either.
Holy cow, this is hilarious.
