Reppin' Your City, Reppin' Generally?

[<^`Boyle`^>]

Reppin' in general eludes me to me its the way you feel about something, say how much you love your city your 'colours'.


There's people that say they rep thier city, but this is strange as commonly the people who rep the cities of which are usually a slum/shithole and they desire to get any from it and make the big time. I could go on for hours and lines and lines I'll probably go into more detail when replies come in, BUT I ask you is there such thing as Reppin' and if so why do people rep. Some say they rep a place which they probably hate and complain about it being a ghetto, I don't understand this?

This is in complete randomness and I don't seek to be shunned by people because I haven't got that same compassion about my area or any area in england in fact BUT I guess you could love your country even if its a shithole.


Shine your light on this.


AND NO FUCKING GANGSTER ARSE WANNA-BEES. Thank you.

I'll be honest, in one of those Rep Your Area Hood cypher, I plain stated, described how shitty the place I lived was, and just said I hated it.

Negative rep, i guess.

An area is more than its physical boundaries. It can encompass people and traditions etc too.

I agree with Alter. You may hate the area due to crime, but the idea of the people within that community is where your pride of repping it comes from.

Word@ Alter.

I see what Boyle is getting at though. A lotta dude's just rep their city for the sake of jus reppin their city.
