too many chicago niggaz got a new york complex. some think new yorkers think they are better than cats from other cities. others want to be new yorkers because that's where the culture stemmed from and they hear all the glorified stories of new yorkers and the boroughs and blah, blah, blah. they want to be new yorkers or hate on new york cuz that's probably the most famous city on the earth. we've always been known as second city; right behind new york and that buggz niggaz out here! it used to bug me. cuz new yorkers love their city sooo much that it used to come across as conceit. what i realized is that my city is dope; for real. we ain't got brooklyn; we got englewood. there ain't no manhattan; we got the downtown area. no stapleton projects; we got stateway gardens. we got the lake, hyde park, the wild hundreds, wrigley field, a gang of all kinds of clubs, fine women of all cultures, north side, west side, and the best skyline on the face of the earth. this complex spills over into why chicago is so mixed up musically. when nwa came out niggaz was jockin' compton. that's crazy! ain't no crips/bloods where i'm from. this state of mind has got to go! then we can be put on the map. embrace where we from and put it on wax. second city come first.......
we're two different cities. new york is dope and they've got certain things that make them dope. the same for the chi. we got things that make chicago a raw city to live in. philly does too. so does houston. and on, and on, and on. even if com did disown chicago (which he didn't), i'mma still rep my city. chicago is dope with or without common.
anyway.....
