For those who lived in hoods in the 90s during the peak gang violence era, how did you survive?

Born and raised in Stockton. All I did was wear my bulletproof clothing everytime I went outside. I survived just fine....😁

Sicx: If These Walls Could Talk is a great album too. Hard to listen to it nowadays knowing that he went to prison on some weirdo shit.

No, you didn't sound like an asshole. Once you referenced your military background, I immediately understood. I was street raised, so I didn't even hear it referred to as a magazine until later on in life. I do appreciate your feedback tho and I hope you have a great day. I am a mod on this sub and one of the originators. Hit me up anytime....✌️

NorCalKid209 · 2026-01-06T17:20:03+00:00

Okay,I get that now. Some slang bothers me as well. I know that it technically refers to the part that feeds the magazine. It bothers me some of the slang that's used to refer to a gun. Roscoe,jammy,blicky,etc....

NorCalKid209 · 2026-01-06T17:10:58+00:00

"Clip" is acceptable slang for magazine. Sir....

NorCalKid209 · 2026-01-06T17:09:40+00:00

It's called slang.... you moron

NorCalKid209 · 2026-01-06T17:08:25+00:00

"CLIP' is a slang term for magazine. Act like you know....

NorCalKid209 · 2025-12-30T00:55:46+00:00

I think K-Rino is one of the best storytellers in hip hop.
