Their separate and
distinct personalities and characteristics together make up a
single, composite entity that is the "HOMIES." In an inner-city
world plagued by poverty, oppression, violence, and drugs, the
Homies have formed a strong and binding cultural support system
that enables them to overcome the surrounding negativity and
allows for laughter and good times as an anecdote for reality. The
word "Homies" itself is a popular street term that refers to
someone from your hometown or, in a broader sense, anyone that you
would acknowledge as your friend. In use in the West Coast Latino
community for decades, the word "Homies" has crossed over into the
now mainstream Hip-Hop street culture that has taken America's
young people by storm.
