there are only a few places in america where that's true. and outside of queensbridge, where are these 'projects larger than shopping malls'?
most places don't even got million dollar houses. the average home price in america is 269,000. but if you subtract new york, florida and california it drops to under 200,000. anywhere in america except them three states a million dollar house will be damn near a mansion and ain't no gawdamn hood in sight
I just named the places where its true. Marcy Projects is not too far from the million dollar homes of the "Huxtables".Brevoort In brooklyn Soundview in the Bronx, Emerson Projects In Queens Just because queens bridge is famous for being the largest dont mean they are the only big ass projects out that way. New York is more expensive to live in than California.

my thought is niggaz alwayz talk about the hood. they be like yeah i used stay right there, niggaz got killed everyday, we sold crack all day, we do drive bys in broad daylight. im mean that shit happens everywhere and the shit Aint gon change so why be on mtv my block and talk about how hard the bay is? whats the point? the shit is about music and the culture of that area. and music is the remedy or the gettaway for the ghetto. so if u was watching my block, and was like "how come they didnt show how grimey the bay is," you is a fake ass niggga because you probably think all that shit is cool to you but to niggaz that really live its their enviroment and they really not happy about it.
