Rappers Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka Ambushed at Video Shoot; Hood Mentality 101

Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka were recently ambushed at a video shoot by random persons looking for a fight.



There is something in the ghetto that tends to keep even the biggest stars in the ghetto, the hood mentality.  The is more so seen in urban communities than in any others.  It is a state of mind where one thinks one has to prove a point everywhere one goes, violence is the only answer, snitching is forbidden and people do not like seeing another person get ahead of them.  That mentality has to be broken in order to progress in this world.  Some of us still stay in that mind-frame and wonder why we still find ourselves in the hood or ghetto even though we might not be physically there anymore.  You have to care about yourself enough to know the place you come from doesn't embody you or define you.  It is okay to acknowledge it as your roots, but that is where it should start and end.
