A Quote by ASAP Rocky

I grew up on the west side of Detroit - 6 mile and Wyoming - so I was really in the 'hood. And I would go to school at Detroit Waldorf, and that was not the 'hood. Growing up in Detroit was good. I had a good perspective, a well-rounded one, and not being one-sided.

Big Sean

I grew up in a very nice house in Houston, went to private school all my life and I've never even been to the 'hood. Not that there's anything wrong with the 'hood.

Beyonce Knowles

As I was coming up, it always seemed like I was learning. If it wasn't from school, it was the 'hood. The influences of the 'hood are very powerful.

Junior Seau

I grew up with pretty much nothing - in the hood, the ghetto - whatever you want to call it.

Deshaun Watson

I grew up watching Lindsay and it made me want to do what she does. Just the whole vibe. Being there, being on camera, or on stage, with everybody listening to you it's so cool when people look up to you. I've already been asked for my autograph and it's just a really good feeling to have.

Ali Lohan

I'm from L.A. I grew up in the 'hood.

As with all the other rappers I've worked with, Biggie and I shared common ground. Even though Biggie grew up in Brooklyn and I grew up in Chicago, we came from the same 'hood.

R. Kelly

If you're a young black dude from the hood you want to come through the hood in a car that makes a lot of noise.

Lil Baby

I grew up in the 'hood, but it was like growing up in Beverly Hills because there were so many superstars around.

Metta World Peace

I grew up in the hood in Miami in a poor neighborhood.

Carl Hart

Being a young kid from the hood in Paris, growing up in poverty and then scoring the goal that took Chelsea to the Champions League semi-finals, that felt like a great achievement.

Demba Ba

I grew up in the 'hood around prostitutes, drug dealers, killers, and gangbangers, but I also grew up juxtaposed: On the doorknob outside of our apartment, there was blood from some guy who got shot; but inside, there was National Geographic magazines and encyclopedias and a little library bookshelf situation.
