I say "Greetings Gentlemen", and then give Tecmo Bowl-style leaping high fives to each member of P.O.P.
When you're rolling solo and you're about to walk past some hood dudes?

But yeah, there's hood dudes that are chilling with Timbs and a durag and then then there's stick-up kids. The stick-up kids are going to get you if they want to.

Making eye contact & not saying anything is gonna make a ***** think you want problems, hood dudes gonna think you sizing him upIt's not about being soft. It's just about the stupidity of the move.

I aint talking about staring at them. You walking in opposite directions so as you approach each other a few ft away you just look ahead at the group or person in front of you and once you get closer you're not even looking at them anymore but through them. When you size somebody up you keep staring or look em up and down with a specific look on your face. I'm just walking like I'm going about my business not paying the person much mind.
However, I've seen countless times when a dude says what's up or gives a head nod like he knows some goons and they stop him and ask him "***** do I know you!!?" and then it all goes bad from there for that guy.

These cats thinking saying "hey fellas what's up?" Will protect them from the jux? **** outta here
Softie: "Hey what's up fellas?"
Street Cat: "The ****? I know you fam? Where I know you from, fam?"
Softie: "I was just saying hi"
Street Cat: "You don't know me, B. **** is wrong with you huh? **** outta here...matter fact, run ya ****"
And now son is walking home with no wallet, no phone, no shoes, in these cold streets
Just mind ya business
Maybe that works down south, where southern hospitality is big, and ****** dye their dreads blond and wear bejeweled thongs, but in NY, approaching someone and saying "hi" when you don't know them, is asking for trouble

If they think you soft that happens,
If you get robbed or beat up just for saying "whats good" they smelt punani before you even said anything

I'm sorry but this aint about being cordial to strangers like yall do in the south.Sorry to bust yall extra hard *** NYC ****** bubble, but, for the most part, you can speak to people in the south.

Thread title clearly says walking past some hood dudes. The implication is that something might go down. So if greeting them first is what you think is keeping them from robbing you then in your example and most others, chances are they ***** made extra plush soft vaginas to begin with and were just mean muggin ppl to put up a front.
Now if hood dudes in the south are still cordial to strangers I really don't think they apply to this thread
That's really a question of probability. If you were gonna get those pockets ran regardless cuz they thought your heart pump estrogen it don't matter what you do before you past them.Cosine

To be clear though, saying what's good to them when they possibly wasn't paying you no mind is just drawing attention to yourself and opening the opportunity to get robbed or worse.
I'm just saying don't talk to ******* strangers. Now I know some of yall reading this and saying but Zik that's some bull **** cuz in situations like that in the past I went that route and I had no problems. I'll just say sooner than later that option isn't going to "work" and you'll realize saying what up to them was never saving your *** in the past. Them other experiences was just dudes that weren't going to rob you (not including crazy *************).

This chain of responses
I've given it some thought and I can't really recall what I've done but I do know that I've never been robbed. I really do treat hood dudes like everyone else in the sense that I play the interaction of whatever feels right but I usually don't say anything because there is no eye contact made.
