Overheard in Dudley Square while Running into the Bank

"...don't have a motherfuckin' CORI like you, nigga. You got homicide. I don't have anything that bad".

Not a conversation one typically hears, or overhears. At least I don't and most of the people I know don't. But there must be circles where that's a big topic of conversation: who's got a worse charge. Prison would be one of those places. I don't listen to it but I'd guess that rap music would have a lot of I've got a badder, better CORI type posturing - and if it doesn't, I'm disappointed.
