I do. Baltimore is hood. Parts of Compton are hood too, but other parts aren't quite as bad.

I totally buy it,Baltimore is a giant s-hole

I was surprised that Baltimore was on par with Detroit back when we were the 'murder capital of the world'. Now Baltimore has us outpaced. Hell, Baltimore is even worse than that cesspool Flint.

Hey, I was born and raised in the 6th most dangerous city in the United States. And not in the suburbs either, I was dodging bullets and shit.

Well not really. It was strange, I lived in a decent neighborhood that was like two blocks from a wasteland.

I'm surprised Watts is not on there.

I have not been to Compton in many many years but when I did roll out to Compton it was scary as fuck

but the price of drugs at that time were wroth the risk and coming back to the hood with a fat sack of yayo and a jar of gorilla piss made you an instant celibrity in the hood

Once Compton got hot the dealers moved to other cities. Once in Compton we had to cross the train tracks to get to the dealers house and as we got closer, we had to drive to a dead end which ment we had to drive about a mile and the streets were infested with people selling every drug and these fools would see you coming they would try to stop you, they would yell, they would follow you, chase you, get in front of your car, throw rocks, curse etc.
BTW we can thank the CIA for all of that cocaine

I guess stats are stats.

I have been in and around Baltimore my whole life and lived to talk about it so I guess I am biased. I'm not saying that Baltimore is a nice place by any stretch, but I imagine Compton to be much worse than Baltimore City.

Must be the hollywood perception you got.
You ever watch The Wire man?

How New Orleans does not make that is baffling.They had some 'group' release a poll saying we are the highest in crime statistics,230 murders in 07 (??)These fellas play for keeps and mostly are kids raising kids.....really no direction day to day,statistics yet to be realized.Just Monday,I had two dudes sizeing me up in the parking lot of Rouses.You really have to carry yourself right or you will get got.Shame really
