[dfwtx]

It's nice nowadays you've proven that, but how about 30 years ago when hopkins was a kid? Here theres plenty of areas that were once piles of **** that are now pretty nice.

Zab Judah = The Ultimate Blood and ****** Warrior

As far as I remember Zab is not from the ****** either.

People told me dudez in Brownsville(Brooklyn) was robbin Zab whenever dey wanted. I heard him and his brothas was gettin robbed and all dat. People act cool wit em now cuz he's really famous. Only what I heard.

Back to Bernard regardless of where he grew up prison can make you hard. I'm sure something had to be hard about him for people to keep off of him in there. And Bernard grew up many years ago. Neighborhoods change.

I'm calm, I'm providing facts here. He did not "grow up" in North Philly. His parents did, as did mine.

Like I said, he grew up in the projects and moved to Germantown later. Your "facts" are distorted and you have no source.

Or maybe something had to be tight on him...

KayJay, Your comments are irrelevant because you are not taking into account that neighborhoods often change. The demographics of a neighborhood today can be in sharp contrast to what it was twenty years ago. As an example, lets take a look at Harlem and Bedford Stuyvesant in NYC. Both of these areas in the past 10 years have experienced a renaissance with a huge reduction of crime and people of middle income class status moving into these areas. Gentrification has caused alot of neighborhoods to experience change.

I was stabbed and jumped a couple of times, and I live in Bensonhurst. It's a decent neighboorhood with a low crime rate. So, it does not really mean anything, especially if it was school related.

Well the person who told me made it sound like it was when he was coming up as a fighter. They told me they took Zab(or one of his brothas forgot now) Golden Gloves.
