No hate fam, I agree with you almost 100%.. I light weight said that already, that the east holds the most weight in the town coz of it's size and notorious spots. Half of the north is hoods, and the other half(above telegraph) is pretty much soft.. Only a small ass area in the north gets down compared to the east/west(I'm from Bushrod).. I actually like the Carson/L.A example, because it's light weight true. There's A few gritty parts/niggas(like 190), but not like Watts and Compton, etc.. Everyone knows that tho, it's really about who runs the streets. I'm all thru the East, West, and North all day and got family on all sides. And like I said, I done served and seen niggas serv East, West, and North niggas. I'm a town nigga and the fools that I fucks with in the East/West show nothin but love, they'd look hella stupid if they didn't. We all went to the same schools n shit. But yea, I agree with you cuz, you ain't lyin.
