Put Your Guns Down....Pick Your Dukes Up!

Street Crime. The latest topic YNG LDN has issues with. It’s not cool, but it’s not going anywhere anytime soon, despite what the suits do. We, the most fashionable bad ass city in the world set example’s for other cities to follow, and when someone like Leona, with the worldwide fame and success she’s got in her short career already, says “Most of my friends have been shot, stabbed or beaten up, it’s part of being young in London”, it’s not good! In a paralell universe she could be saying “Being rich, socialising and talking to your neighbours is just part of being young in London”. It’s only how we act that changes the word’s people use when describing our city and our culture. I’d like to see a piece of advertising that shows the picture of a gat next to the Facebook logo, reading “which is more popular?”. Doesn’t take a genius, but the comparison has got to that level. Although, for people that don’t get involved with all the “I’ma bad maaan” shiznit, it’s only gonna leave you in a better position in later life. Just think, when applying for a job, loan or mortgage (pretty essential things when we all grown up) you’ll be able to tick “no” in the any convictions box, which will replace “Name” as the first question asked. You’ll glance over and 10 people in the same room filling out the same quetionnaire will be listing their convictions, asking for the person next to them what the letters are for “stabbing the breddah, but he was aight” are, and getting the perfectly correct answer.
Enjoy your brand new house! (or job, or loan!).
