...grew up in a small football, steel mill/union town(1600 population)Western
Pennsylvania...so the "gangsta" shit ain't roots-real for me. Lotta time in
the woods, at the river, hangin' out with neighbors and buddies. Race-issues
mainly on the news... and as under-current here and there. But I really dig
some of the "style" , music, dance out of Urban America. 'Sure I'm "corny" to
some of the REAL OG's and wanna be's I've encountered and dealt with during
my fairly extensive "Community Work" in so-called ghettos/city
Black-Minority neighborhoods/organizations/youth correctional facilities.
More "Country" than "City" at core. No question. 4rth of July was HUGE
where I grew up. LOVED IT. AW 1-21-24
