    Black folks in Cali have roots in Texas and louisiana

    When I lived in LA I was amazed how much of their family are originally from Louisiana.

    when black folks moved out the south, they mostly traveled by train line leading to many in the West being of Texas/Lousiana stock, Midwest-->everywhere but mostly Mississippi Delta and the Southeast as well as TN, AR etc., and the East Coast-->GA, NC, SC, VA

    now with people moving back south you see a lot of people going back to where their grandparents and greatparents came from (LA and Chicago folks moving to Houston, NY/NJers moving to Atlanta and NC etc.)

    Also one of the reasons why IMO Midwest cats sound like southerners because of the hypersegregation in MIdwest cities, yall never lost your country accents


    I'm straight outta LA and we naturally vibe with N.O and Texas cats due to a lot of the OGs originally coming from there. Also we vibe with niccas from jersey too. Idk how or why but we have this funny connection with them in LA

    OGs in LA started gangs in Jersey, unlike in NYC where they just adopted bloods and crips

    thats why theres a Grape Street Crips in Newark

    musically, we share a history of mixing funk and rap and we actually drive unlike NYers lol
