Hood Ni**a Vs. Street Ni**a

Hood Nigga: Knows how the hood is but doesn’t run the streets, gangbang or sell drugs. Hood niggas typically get along with the thugs and OGs but stay away from the lifestyle and rather turn to other means of getting out of the “hood” with resources such as sport, arts, getting a degree or a normal 9-5. A common misconception about hood niggas is that they’re “soft”, but keep in mind that they are still not to be messed with because although they may not seem as active or as threatening as the average Street Nigga, they’re still able to carry out Street Nigga tendencies (if need be).

Street Nigga: Runs the streets, sells drugs and/or gangbangs. They know the ins and the outs of the streets and usually have street codes and regulations that they go by. Street Niggas have no intentions or often have little chance of leaving the ghetto due to their lifestyle and (most often) their convictions. They are raised in the streets, are quicker to take a violent approach and are into illegal things. They are often mistaken for Hood Niggas because of some similar tendencies, but Street Niggas are certified in the hood and often feared and/or respected by the community.

Ayo! That’s that Hood Ni**a from down the street that be rapping and shit.

I don’t fuck with Street Ni**a ‘cos they’ll drop a bag on your head and you’ll be gone by tomorrow.
