    Man I remember when Jefferson was the strip. Then everybody would hit the rock.

    Late nights at the coney ? as ? trying to order the whole damn menu. Chocolate City (before it was ? city), all the after hours spots. Man me and the homies had some wild ass nights.

    I remember my cuz from the east used to come scoop a youngin, we'd hit Rouge, Chandler,Belle Isle, and end up at THE Sting, or at his broad crib in Northville ? as ? eating coney.
    My 1st strip club I ever attended was the Brass Key, ? used to get me in when I was 14 cause they knew security.
    Shout out to the North End and HP, I,stayed with a rider or 2 from there..

    Why would you drive through that ? , day or not?

    You mind as well move to afghanistan

    All you know is what the media has fed you. You ever been to Detroit? Where you from @Black_Thunder ?

    ? rt did a whole special on that dump detroit

    ? looked like barren wasteland

    ? who is rt? Yeah, you haven't been. ? any city USA has its ? up areas. I can show you parts of Orlando that are just as ? up, but all you think of is Disney when you see Orlando, same with Miami, LA,Vegas,Etc. I could do a special focusing on whats bad in these neighborhoods, but the story to be told is how ? got like that. STOP relying on media to give you your opinions homie.

    Detroit actually has affluent neighborhoods, Google Sherwood Forest, Indian Village, The University District, Palmer Woods, Rosedale Park and are predominantly Black and all in city limits, not suburbs.

    That's the narrative that the media doesn't want you to know. Say what you want homie, but ? we LOVE this place good and bad.

    You still did not say where you are from, better not be the suburbs of Nashville ? .

    man look, I put pics of them spots up a while back, these muhfuckas ain't trying to believe Tha D got nice ass spots. I used to live right next to Sherwood Forest in Green Acres Woodward and Edison District is nice as ? .

    Indian Village District

    And all these spots are within the city borders. Not in the suburbs.

    Do you remember when it was Fenkel back in '91/'92? 7 mile was the ? back in spring/summer of '93 and Jefferson from the freeway all the way to the Rock was the spot from like '92 until... ? ... 98/99? USed to stop off at The Omni for some liquor, grab some burgers at the Rally's next door, and head downtown throwin back a bottle of Jack Daniels mixed with Jolt cola and 3 Big Bufords and ? .

    The rock was wild as ? on the weekends day and night. We used to joke that the day on Belle Isle wasn't done unless you saw at least one broad runnin around ? naked on the Belle Isle strip facing Windsor.

    I think 91/92, I was in Southwest, but I heard the stories lol. 7 mile stayed lit from east to west. The strip of a million and one barber shops and car washes. I stayed on 7/ Santa Rosa for a hot minute, then we moved back to the eastside.

    We used to be down on the rock racing in the back by the woods....at night lights out....? was we thinkin?!

    You aint lyin bout the Rock, broads everywhere down for whatever. ? used to be like mini freak nic. You had to get there before the boys blocked it off tho lol. I hated that ? .

    Man and the ? bars lol. Shout out to the Key, All Stars, Crazy Horse, I couldnt stay away from damn Cocholate City tho. Used to have a ball in that ? as small as it was. I remember running into this one chic that dance there....at church ? (perfecting of all places) lol. Had my bm and kids with me. I swerved the ? outta her like I aint even see her. I aint want them problems that day.

    I used to live up in the Body Rock, Tigers II (ran into a broad I used to go to high school with up in there, ended up smashing a few months later), John Johns, The Grind, Timbo's after hours spot, and a couple other spots. I stopped going to Body Rock when they renamed it Cheetah's, but that joint had top shelf broads in there. When I was 19 my old boss "Big Joe" used to take me and the rest of the crew at the shop up in there after we got off work. Once I got that VIP card it was a wrap, I could walk up in there for free and no one ever carded me.

    Last Soulman from AWOL spoke on it in an Metro Times article some years ago:

    http://www.metrotimes.com/detroit/you-dont-want-none-of-this/Content?oid=2175516
    ... Their uniforms were jean “hook-ups,” that is, denim suits, with Dobbs and casual shoes. They rocked Coogi sweaters before they become stylish, years before the late Notorious B.I.G. would claim that “Every cutie with a ? want a Coogi.”...
    “Coogis and gators and minks, that was just regular D ? ,” says Jones. “Nothing special. These other artists that’s not from here put all the dramatic ? to the ? . A average D ? with a job at a plant is a ? ’ ‘stunner.’”
    “They talked about Moet before Biggie. They were like their own industry.”

    Blame it on marketing and promotion, or the indifference of a listening public that wouldn’t pop a bottle of Cristal and don a Coogi sweater for another five years.

    but the kicker is that a little known artist named "Jay Z" was on the same label as a cat AWOL dissed.

    At the time, AWOL's album "Detroit 4 Life" was released on Rock-A-Fella records.

    After the album drops, Jay turns around with "Roc-A-Fella" records.

    The Cristal, his mannerisms, style of clothes and ? was all straight up Detroit. Dude's whole image was ripped straight from AWOL's ? .
