Taken from my brotha Vic’s Facebook. I have a lot of respect and love for this guy, and as long as I’ve known him I’ve seen him grow the great Man that he is today.
“You all know I’m an only child, if you didn’t, now you do.
A trusted friend is a trusted brother to me.
“Friends are the family you choose.”
Brotherhood…….define that shit for me. ”
And several friends & fam responded with their definition of “Brotherhood” these are from some of the brother’s Vic & I share:
@Ellatron ”Brotherhood. Brothers who look out for each other. Brothers who wouldnt fuck with anything that belongs to one another.”
@Roper ” I Believe Brotherhood Is The Equal Bond That we All Share With Ones We Call Family And Close Friends!.A Brother Is Someone Who will Lift His Last Pinky To protect You from Harm, And Spend His Last Dime Cuz He Knows In His Heart It’s The Right Thing To Do. ‘A real friend is someone who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.’”
@Pusha Juan ” Brotherhood is the unbreakable bond between blood and nonblood. Formed thru hardships, friendship, trust, and camaraderie. Ride or die. Brotherhood is what it is.”
a few other responses from some of Vic’s friends:
“Someone who is there for u no matter what. One who gives and takes advise. One who loves and values u as a person and who would never stab u in the back. Someone who gets on ur nerves sometime and also helps calm them in a bad situation. Brotherhood is something were all blessed with from the man upstairs…”
“The dictionaries definition:
broth·er·hood (Noun)
1. The relationship between brothers.
2. The feeling of kinship with and closeness to a group of people or all people.
…a brotherhood is a true gift from GOD that is extremely important in any mans life. It should be cherished and taken seriously for they that are apart of your brotherhood will do for you when the world turns their back on you and will also look for you to do the same.”
I believe that Brotherhood was well defined by them. I personally do not have a blood related brother, only a sister. But through many long term friendships with various groups of friends, I’m proud to call these guys my brothers: my Cloud 9 Tribe Fam, the brothers from Cal High, my original Academy of Villains fam, as well as various brother’s I have accumulated along the way through dance/bboying that have their own crews-regardless of what crew they come from they’ve been there for me as I have for them.
To all of my brother’s one love!
