Upstate isn't about Texas you morons, it refers to New York. Here in the city where skinny gangstas ryde, you don't wanna be sent upstate. Being sent up north, or upstate, means your about to be introduced to soap on a rope and other assets of prison life. Some great gangstas, the O.G.s, become Gods upstate, and come home and put shit on lock. The rest of them just get their shit put on coc* in prison and are bitc* when they come home.
"Sent to Fishkill, fifth year of my bid. Finally got a chance recent to connect with my kids" Fishkill is bein sent upstate, doggie.

Everywhere above New York City. Such as Nassau, Westchester, and Rockland.
If you people actually lived in New York you would know it is not safe. But most of you want to make yourselves look smart. Everyday someone gets shot in New York.

The meaning of Upstate, New York:
Residents of northern New York State - the true Upstate region - know that the state consists of several regions. Namely, upstate, downstate, western (Buffalo and Rochester), central (Syracuse and Utica), and the city. (I like to think of Long Island as an orbiting moon, but it is better classified as a different planet all together.)
Albany is barely on the edge of Upstate, Poughkeepsie is NOT Upstate, and Newburgh is definitely NOT Upstate. It may be hard to fathom, but not everything in the state of New York revolves around the city, so therefore, everything above the city/Westchester is not Upstate.
Admittedly, Upstate may be "different" than New York City and other regions, but it is a term of pride, not a term of derision. Many ignorant downstaters (who probably don't recycle and drive Hummers) may not realize that Upstate is home to the Adirondack Mountains and the most beautiful natural areas of New York state. Always remember, not only does New York State have the largest, most culturally diverse, most amazing city on the east coast, it also has the largest tracts of pristine, protected wilderness lands east of the Mississippi in the northern, Upstate regions.
New York State is amazing, from top to bottom!

"Hey, wanna do something this weekend?"
"No thanks, I am going Upstate to my cabin on Lake George."
"Oh wow, you are so lucky! It is gorgeous up there."
"I know."

A person from Upstate New York. Usually equipped with a Syracuse University t-shirt, a plaid flannel t, Pabst Blue Ribbon or Saranac, and a North Face jacket. Often very angered when you ask them if they're from the City or when Westchester is included as part of Upstate.
