Once you get past places like Newark to places like Winnetka or Winter Park, describing yourself as a street kid, even if you're an actor in a TV show or movie portraying a character that isn't you, is starting to sound silly. These are not places guys like Tupac grew up, so it makes the authenticity of a character or role questionable. Actors do portray people other than themselves for a living, but their most memorable roles tend to be the ones closest to who they really are at heart, otherwise the authenticity and sincerity of the character is off if it's there at all.
Playing a role or character that isn't anything like you isn't relatable to anybody, and it doesn't do anybody any good. It keeps people from seeing what kind of character this person would really be if they were authentic, which traps a person's head rather than freeing up space to think, no matter how liberating or authentic the person claims to be.

Get the Role mug.Movies often stretch the truth about something quite a bit to make it more entertaining than it actually is, since something closer to reality might bore an audience in 5 minutes. People are not really too interesting most of their lives, except just after they are born and just before they die, and roles/characters in movies lead people to believe otherwise a lot of the time.
Some people would think Lowell was like Southie by watching a movie. It's got it's parts that some would unkindly describe as run down areas, and it might be blue collar, and there are problems everywhere, but calling it the inner city is a stretch. Some of the roles people show people are not the exact reality of what something, somewhere, or someone is really like, they can be misleading.

Get the $role @ the watchers mug.(cat.) One of the ten Leading Roles of the Prime beings. The Light Role has the power to glow a soft and warm glow, much like a candle. They are born around Hanukkah. But those who are lucky enough to be born on Hanukkah on a leap year, a rare birthday to have, also have the ability to be physically warm to the touch, just like a candle. The job of the Light Role is to help out when someone is lost in the dark, literally or mentally.
"And the person chosen to be the Light Role is... Vanca! Your job is to bring light to our planet."
"Thank you, sir."
"Thank you, sir."

Get the Light Role mug.Ya know, I don't think that is my role...
Hym "I don't think it is my role to protect women who won't fuck me and children I didn't sire... AT MY EXPENSE (because I have to both labor to support myself or I starve and die AND I have to pay a 3rd of my income to subsidize their lives to some extent)... AND THEN... If I end up getting nothing in return... It doesn't matter because YOU are not ME and it isn't your problem... Because of my role... We don't have to give a shit about eachother's problems.... Until your kids get fucked in the butt. THEN... THEN... I have to care SO MUCH... That EVEN IF I'm a criminal prisoner who will never know freedom again from the rest of my life... I have to be mad about your kid... And rape and murder the guy who did it to them FOR YOU... For free... And that's my role... OR ELSE I DON'T GET RIGHTS or 'status' (which is basically being able actualize both rights and privileges to a greater extent than everybody else)... And you get all my shit..."
Solipsist "Yup. Uh huh. That's it."
Hym "And then I murder a kid and kill myself and I win immediately."
Solipsist "Er- Wait... Don't say it if you're not going to do it!"
Hym "Or what? You'll make me murder your kid and kill myself? OK. You can bring a gun and a kid here whenever you want I'm literally just sitting right here and I don't have anything better to do NOR DO I WANT TO DO ANYTHING BETTER FOR YOU. So... That."
