Do y'all nikkas remember the 80s

[Tribal Outkast]

Born in 79

The only way we could hear black music in the early 80's was on your parents record player or Soul Train. They didn't play a lot of our videos at first but I appreciate how that time made me appreciate all kinds of music though. Looooot of dope music came out in the 80's.

Comedy was king, Movies didn't give AF back then! I miss the 80's!

Like nikkaz pants aint tight as spandex today

You make a good point

80's was the WOAT era fashion wise

maybe for cacs, but hell this might be from the 90's. The 80's looked more like this for cacs:

 

[jackson35]

a trip thru black excellence with the birth of hip hop, seeing sexy ass jackie on 227 and seeing marion barry showing the white man how to how to look out for black folks in the hood

Ol "Pepperidge Farm remembers..." faced nikkas

[Givethanks]

this wypipo shyt

Dead ass i didn't know yall had cameras... I thought that was a 90s thing

 

[ill_will82]

I see I really don't have say much in here...

Born in '82. I remember the cartoons & toys were crazy. I use to watch He-Man, TMNT, Dennis the Menace, Gi-Joe, Thundercats, etc., Now that I look back on it, I had so many He-Man & TMNT toys it was crazy.

I stayed watching The Cosby Show, ALF, A Different World. I remember watching Superstars/Wrestling Challenge on Saturday/Sunday mornings. Michael Jackson was the GOAT, Nintendo/Artari have birth to the gaming culture we have now, had to use cassette tapes to play music.

Looking back... I don't miss Jeri curls and the fashion....

I'm done.

 

[Marco Zen]

Born in 81. I'm and cool with it.


From what I remember:

Michael Jackson was God

Cosby ran shyt

You couldnt fukk with the cartoons/toys combination. Metal Transformers toys, shyt ton of GI Joe stuff, M.A.S.K. (look it up...shyt was fire), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

In fact, Cartoons were waaaaay better than any of the shyt you see now.

Nintendo changed everything.

Crack almost destroyed a generation of Black people. Me and my mom used to live in the PJ's, and looking back with adult eyes, I remember fiends hanging around the block and a bunch of my friends dads just not being seen again.

Going to the cool cup lady house

Actual weather changes..

Around my way we called her the "candy lady"...go up to her apartment and she had candy laid out like an actual store. If I knew then what I know no about that shyt...


And I remember when it was actually cold on October and not 70 fukking degrees. 80s babies and older fukking know that climate change is real because they're actually experiencing it.

 

[Pit Bull]

Everyone use to be outside even past dark

A little bit of that spilled over into the 90s

Video games, computers, and cell phones killed that shyt. That's why kids these days be built like anorexic midgets, ain't getting no damn exercise

 

[Owen Reece]

Eddie Murphy was killing it

80s R&B.....I still listen to it

Pre-crack Whitney Houston

Them black sitcoms (Cosby Show, 227, Amen....)

Playing outside with no worries.

Hanging out on the green transformer box

Playing hide and go seek with the girls (where I came from, that's your first step into manhood)

Muthafukking Knight Rider.




Damn...yall got a man reminiscing about those days. I'm about to go call my moms up

 

[DatNkkaCutty]

84' (Year of the Rat)...

He-Man, Thundercats, GI Joe, Thundercats, Transformers, TMNT....could go on nd on...

MJ was that ngga...GOAT status. Back then....shyt just seemed darker...meanin horror movies seemed scarier...nighttimes seemed creepier, Halloweens etc. It was pre internet...so shyt seemed more unknown outside of what u actually knew...if that makes sense ...Maybe this was due to me still bein a kid tho

 

[Oran "Juice" Jones]

Most of us were babies or small children in the 80s.

 

[ridedolo]

The 80's were the shyt....when it came to cartoons...but that crack epidemic though........the gang violence in LA at the time........My Lakers though.........

lol didn't you claim you were from brooklyn
