Bronx.
It’s dirty as hell BUT it’s also not as gentrified as the others, so it has more of a sense of realness to it.

Well we all know SI the wackest one lmao...
Being locked up with City cats:
--Manhattan nikkas were okay. I got a good potna from Harlem down in Charlotte, but besides him Manhattan dudes were a lil extra...
--Bronx cats are too slummy...
--Brooklyn cats and girls seem to be extra NY, too cocky...
--Always felt like if I lived in NY, Queens would be the most relatable. And I had some tight homeboys from there, most down to earth it seemed...
Queens for the win!

When I hear that term I just assume they're NOT including Brooklyn.
Brooklyners are the good ones
I've lived in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Staten Island and I'd have to go with Manhattan.
Crown Heights Brooklyn is about as authentic of an NYC experience as you're going to get (I lived one block away from Utica Ave) but Brooklyn in general is too big, and it's a hassle to leave the neighborhood when you have to go somewhere. Also, the nightlife ain't really nothing past midnight. Brooklyn has a lot of creative types though. A lot of people that you meet there are lowkey really skilled.
Staten Island is obviously very isolated and doesn't have much to do outside of family life and drugs. There's some cool dudes over there, but it's really just hood near the ferry and suburban everywhere else. It's great for having a base away from the city where you can just chill and be next to the water. Also, the panorama view from Victory Blvd is the best in NYC.
Manhattan wins because it's NYC all of the time. You never have to leave the island because everything is within walking distance and there's always something going on. This is ideal because you save hours of your day from having to commute to any of the outer boroughs and can get things popping right after work. Plus the night doesn't end, it just transforms into the morning, which is cool because you don't have to go anywhere. Another thing that Manhattan has going for it are the kinds of people that you meet. While Brooklyn has the cool kids, Manhattan has the rich kids. And that tradeoff is worth it if you want to keep pace with your ambitions. The city life in general is good towards that end.

You ain't black if you say Brooklyn nightlife ain't nothing WHEN most jamaican or carribean brooklyn parties don't even get started to 2am CMON son WTF
Since i am born and raised in QUeens, but one problem i hated growing up in queens u would randomly find out you had a dime living in your neighborhood like 5yrs later cuz they never came outside .. nikkas who lived in buildings always knew every baddie in their hood
