Yeah the m-rate is down from about 2 years ago but the homies out here are trippin off thizz pills and thinking they are hella hard.But if it is any indication it will be a long summer,so keep yo heat in the front street.Fucking with yall mayne,stop the violence K.C. lets kick it this summer like whattttttttttttttttttt.
This is some of the realest shit I heard...for ANY hood. We aint got it bad out here in the Northwest like in other places. Theres a lot of cats from Cali and other places that left to get out of situations like that, so theres a lot of OG's out here with a new mentality and they kick knowledge out here. I lost a lot of freinds when I lived in Riverside and Woodland too. Shit was real! I played that ignorrant role for a long time and now I look at my 3 kids and feel ashamed!
Should have listened to my momma all along...HAHAHAHA

Church can't fix this. Hate to say it. What is happening was already in his plan.
These streets are hot like 2005, and this shit is all stimming from the same shit. This war is only visible by the media big now, but has been going on some 2 years. If you don't know, does Fat Tone ring a bell?
KC streets are as hot as they have been the past couple years. No, murder rate is not up, but in the area specified, crime is up (maybe the murder rate to). Its real. In my roots (4th and Chelsea Northeast) the crime is up big. All the way down the Ave.

^^^ Thats what I'm saying... people ain't knowing this stuff been happening for years... The media is just now getting up on it... But even niggas who ain't from a block or set still gotta a strap and still think its coo to shoot... Bad karma gon catch up wit em sooner or later... Niggas need to learn how to get some money and get on some chicks or something...
I'm not from the hood, can't speak in these specific personal terms. But what I can speak on in broader terms is that it always seems to be related to concentrated poverty, and the historical legacies of all these Midwestern cities have left some of the largest urban poverty pockets in the USA. That's why crime in the Midwest is generally up there with the South and worse than either coast.
Like the guy from California who said he didn't even know KCMO got down like that, for whatever reason people from each coast seem to equate Midwest with rural even know many of the biggest and baddest hoods in America are contained in Midwestern inner-cities. They don't take a look in the mirror and realize that Watts is only a relatively tiny chunk of Los Angeles but the North Side of STL struggles to an even greater degree and contains almost half the entire city's population. People from California especially, tend to really underestimate the Midwest when it comes to this kind of thing (see that legendary "Is San Diego Even Hood" thread), and I know it's pointless to stage city street cred contests but when there are constantly tremendous misunderstandings of reality, you've got to let them know.
I don't know as much about Kansas City as I do other Midwestern cities, I've really only been around the Negro Leagues Museum and then the freeway out by the stadiums. I know the city is pretty much a tall and narrow rectangle, with downtown at the north edge of that rectangle, and that the rich people live in the hills west of downtown towards the Kansas border. Now where is this "East Side" of Kansas city, it can't be out by the stadiums can it, b/c when I took in some games there it seemed like it was out in the burbs with how low the population density was. On this map, where's the East Side, where are the really concentrated pockets of violence?

how old is that map? can't really show you tha troublespots on there...most of tha shit happens in tha south/southeast/east/northeast sections of tha city.
There is about 450,000 people in KCMO, but for tha entire metropolitan area there is a population of about 2 million...most of them live on tha outskirts of tha city on both tha kansas and missouri sides.
