I told him, that the person didnt have lack of knowledge about the situation. They know more about the situation than they let on.


Because of their role, they have to act as tho they arent as aware, because they have no control over the situation.



They are there to absorb that shit and tell everyone else, that it ain't bird shit, its snow.

Du please. I know you gotta rep for home, but recognize that most people that don't have any loyalty to Bmore don't think well of Bmore. I mean your mayor was on the lamb a little while ago. That shit doesn't happen in decent cities. The Harbor and Fells Point are cool though.
 
If goldie were serious about his Versus Series....


He'd put Andre3000's She Lives In My Lap up against Prince's Ballad Of Dorthy Parker...


But he aint...

Bruh every city had corrupt politicians
Every city has a drug problem
Every city has murders


But every city doesn't have an arts scene like Baltimore
Every city doesn't have as many festivals as Baltimore
Every city doesn't have as many historic districts as Baltimore
Every city doesn't have a restaurant scene as extensive as Baltimore
Every city doesn't have as many local breweries as Baltimore


Again....I live here, and I get around. People who shit on Baltimore don't know shit about Baltimore.

You know who rhiannon giddens is?

She just did a sold out show here at the meyerhoff

Shit was bananas, most people who shit on Baltimore never been to the meyerhoff once.... I've been going to see the Baltimore symphony orchestra since I was a kid.....

Again, just cuz you don't know doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Ignorance doesn't have to be spread. It's extremely easy to not speak on things you don't know about. Just keep your mouth closed.

Baltimore is not a shit City. And any one who says it is certainly has no idea what the fuck they talking about

TNT needs to kill that Bleacher Report from Vegas segment.



Either that or get different people to do it, because the 2 people doing it now don't add anything to the show at all.

Bruh, I've spent plenty of time in Baltimore. I met my wife in Towson, we hung out in Baltimore every weekend. It is what it is. That's your city and you feel the need to defend it, that's fine, but not everyone is going to agree with you. Baltimore's crime rate is almost 500% the national average. The poverty rate is higher than the national average. The city has some of the lowest school ratings in the state. The FBI specifically called Baltimore out for having one of the most corrupt police agencies in the country. I could go on. If you think that kinda shit is outweighed by the fact that Baltimore has a good arts scene (which you're absolutely right about), then that's your opinion. I disagree though.

Don't feel bad. I'm from South Carolina, which I think is a racist shithole of a state. That doesn't mean I can't list some good things about it too.
 
I'm saying this,

It has its issues, it has its corruption.

The crime is well documented...

However...

It has jobs, many many jobs in many industries.

The arts scene is well documented.

Again, the amount of festivals and events on a weekly basis is never ending.

There is always something to do.

The crime, while heavy, is mostly limited to the hood. If you chill in the hood all day, then if course it'll be a shit hole. But if you actually seek out an look for a good time, the city rarely disappoints.

Every time we have a night in the town we find great things to get into.

The food scene is top tier.

The bar scene is top tier.

Easily one of the best cities in the country to bar hop at.

The second you touch down in the airport, it's very clear you're not in a shit City.


You can catch live shows on stage every night, at multiple places. Museums out the ass including two renowned black museums.

Yeah you can go on and on about the negative, but I can go on and on about the positive.....

Enough so that it's clear the city is not all shit. The live music scene alone is insane....I literally just got invited to a music festival earlier tonight, and this is the norm

Like to say Baltimore is a shit City, based on the negatives and completely ignoring the positives is 100% choosing to focus and spread ignorance....

And I just get tired of it, cuz I see the good as well as the bad, and I know how to enjoy the good way too much to let people pretend it doesn't exist.


Like we literally have a free annual arts festival in artscape that brings top artist every year.

We had a tribe called west reunion one year here, me and the fam came to see Anthony Hamilton for free one year....

Shit just gets insulting at some point
 
I honestly do not know how many off Broadway plays and stage performances I have been to as an adult. Easily over 30.

You guys ever once go see the arena players?


One of the oldest continually performing and historically African-American community theatres in the country?

Like... That's major
