“It is not believed that a people capable of inventing the genre of "oral painting" could have spawned the viaduct killer, and in any case no ghetto resident is permitted access to any other area of the city. ("A Short Guide To The City")”
― Peter Straub, American Fantastic Tales: Terror and the Uncanny from the 1940s to Now

“I'm here to tell niggas it ain't all swell.
There's Heaven then there's Hell niggas
One day your cruisin' in your seven,
Next day your sweatin', forgettin' your lies,
Alibis ain't matchin' up, bullshit catchin' up
Hit with the RICO, they repoed your vehicle
Everything was all good just a week ago
'Bout to start bitchin' ain't you?
Ready to start snitchin' ain't you?
I forgive you. Weak ass, hustlin' just ain't you
Aside from the fast cars
Honeys that shake they ass in bars
You know you wouldn't be involved
With the Underworld dealers, carriers of mac-millers
East coast bodiers, West coast cap-peelers
Little monkey niggas turned gorillas.”
― Jay-Z, Decoded

“I love living in the ghetto!" #PoorMindSet”
― Habeeb Akande

“Der er mange i den kriminelle verden, der gerne vil være en succes, men godt ved, at de ikke kan blive det i den almindelige verden. Så bliver de superstjerne i ghettoen i stedet for.”
― Olav Hergel, Men vi blev onde - Sleiman, et tidligere medlem af invandrerbanden Bloodz
