Who That Posted January 17, 2016 Report Posted January 17, 2016 Mike Jones wrote a song about coming to Silsbee to get CD's at SMOKE TOWN RECORDS. Quote
BMTSoulja1 Posted January 17, 2016 Report Posted January 17, 2016 Not from the younger generation. I've heard the term 'Smoke town' in the late 90's. I was told that it was because the residence of Silsbee still believe in burning items in their yard, making a lot of smoke, vs just putting it in the trash... Silsbee92 1 Quote
BADSANTA Posted January 18, 2016 Report Posted January 18, 2016 Man that's old school there man!!! Burn trash in the front yard. We use to do this all the time at my grandparents house on Ave G. Burn up leaves after I had been raking for hours it seems. Quote

I just know it is a nickname for Silsbee that is embraced by the "younger" Silsbee generations. It was meant, and always will be, to be a rallying cry for support from their friends and whomever might feel the same way. Maybe, just maybe, it can become something good. I meant no disrespect or am I condoning any "activity", feel free to ask my daughter on the subject. JMO Expand No not blaming you at all its used so much has become the norm. DXTR 1 Quote

And with that said, what, did you win by 1? 2? Quote

Kountzer Posted January 18, 2016 Report Posted January 18, 2016 Dress it anyway you want to but the first thing people think when the hear 'smoke town' is weed, or some type of drug activity. It may mean more than that, but I doubt it. That is a smoke screen. I am not living in silsbee..now, but I grew up there. The younger generation is not that unique in how they think. They are influenced by the whole hip hop thing, and drugs has always been a low key to prominent part of that ethos. That's where words like lean, and syrup, phrases like what u got in your cup, come from. Listen to the music: you got Big Mo, rip, talking about purple stuff, Pimp C, same thing, Plies 'ran off on the plug twice', etc, and on and on. I'm not judging though. Nothing is new under the sun. We were, some of us, puffing and dabbling back in the day too. Everybody got a past. Playing hide n seek with the po po. SPD gonna win their fair share of those battles. I know several guys who can't leave Sllsbee cause they got a record from drug busts. I was fortunate to leave when I did and go to the military. I only dabbled a little small time to fit in with peers. It always seemed stupid to me. Why walk around in a haze when you're already behind? My .02 on that. BADSANTA, BMTSoulja1 and DXTR 3 Quote
ST413 Posted January 18, 2016 Report Posted January 18, 2016 I think Soulja must be a closet HJ fan. He's living on those past years like they live on those past championships! Quote

BADSANTA Posted January 18, 2016 Report Posted January 18, 2016 I 100% agree with Kountzer!!! Walk around in a haze when your already 100 feet behind everyone else! Quote
