Well i wasnt getting chased thru my building :lolbron:

88 was like my last year in the TRISTATE(nyc...nj...conn)

Before my family made the big move down south. ...pops had a trucking gig and felt he could get more paper for the family in georgia

So that year i was soaking up all th east coast culture i could....

Recording tapes of KISS FM red alert and Chuck Chillout show. ..getting fresh gear at Kingz Plaza in BK and the Colesium in Jamaica Queens...and Delancy in Manhattan....and going to concerts at Nassau Colesium to see PE....RAKIM...LATIFAH...KANE etc

This was the age of the B BOY and if you were plugged in with NYC at this time u were the man in other parts of the country

Especially the south were the identity of the south wasnt ESTABLISHED yet

Most of the rappers down there with the execption of the bass scene tried to sound like NYC......

So girls were on your jock if u were from the east cause u had that gear and music

Even the West Coast was cool with the east cause this was prior to Cube and Deathrow and waging war in the early 90s

I was 7 listening to MJ, Luther and bobby brown heavy.

Watching lots of kung fu flicks and listening to dubb and reggae with my pops. Eating that good food:wow: I lived for my pops food on weekends.

Playing ball with my step pops and his cousins.

It was around this time I'd get my first taste of hip hop, hearing it from my step pops and his cousins. They bumped LL a lot, I vividly remember the Radio tape.

So young, so innocent :mjcry:
