Im lucky to have only lost a hat and some pocket change in the late 80's Brooklyn subway and street battles. I got slightly slashed but only a slight imprint remains I hate to say it but Guliani saved many black and brown kids lives when he turned the lights on to the NYC underworld and inner city crime problems:yeshrug:
Ny crime was going down before Guliani came into office, he just took the credit. In fact crime was going down all over the country, not just nyc

Crime Levels Fell in 1993, Report Says
"Contradicting a widespread perception that New York City is more violent than ever, the Police Department released its official 1993 crime statistics yesterday, which show that reported incidents of violent crime in the city decreased modestly for the third year in a row."

New York City Crime Falls But Just Why Is a Mystery
"Even Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, who took office with a pledge to crack down on street-level drug dealing and a variety of "quality of life" offenses, says his policies and the aggressive tactics of Police Commissioner William J. Bratton can explain only about half the decline in crime rates.

"Nobody can be sure exactly what is going on," he said in an interview last week."

I grew up in the Harlem in the 80s. The worst project was Polo grounds on 155. I lived across the street in Rangel houses. Them polo dudes was always taxing nicca for whatever kicks hats jewelry and in 89 it was bubble coats cause the northface came out. My homie got juxed for the knock off a wind chill factor. I was :russ: when he showed up with just the The rugby on in the middle of Feb. In 90 I got a lil money and had a lite chain wit the bull head pendant. My homeboy Steve from Manhattanville pjs came to check me literally wit the dooky slick Rick level jewels. He wanted to holla at a cute shorty from my buildings. Long story short we got confronted by like 30 dudes from polo grounds with they hoodies tied up to they eyes on some ninja shyt. Even with the faces covered I recognized them cause we grew up together. Steve face was on some
:huhldup: and jetted on some Olympics ish. They was like run ya chain. I popped it off and was like nahh. These fools tried to jump me for it but they was feeble as f@ck. I start scraping and caught on of them by the hoodie. The old heads seen me going for mines and backed most of them down on some let the fight the one on one. I bash this nicca had into every multi color cement toy they had in the play ground. They saw I was getting the better of they man's and tried jump me again. The old heads blocked me off and escort me home. I lost one of my Reebok in the scuffle. And held the chain so hard the pendant cut my hand bad. A month later I saw this bad ass stick up kid on the train and he told his man "That's the kid that gave me stitches." I been on some b.s. ever since. :manny:

Sounds a whole lot like London. Growing up in new cross, even going to other parts of lewisham was blasphemy, and I went school way out of the borough, so I was going through different estates all the time. Black/Red/Blue flags everywhere I looked, and I'm some feeble kid :sadcam::damn:

Btw, to the NY'rs? do they ask you the question of "What projects you from?" down there too?

Y'all follow that ItsBigSade chick on IG that Joe Budden be talking about? She was on IG live telling a story about almost dying going to a rival Blood hood (She's a Crip) for sex. That shyt was actually hilarious. It's a different way of life out in LA, but the same concept going to different hoods.

When I was growing up, Nah, nikka ain't really ask you where you from, because nikkas knew you weren't from there and that's all that mattered. Only time you really got a pass is if you knew someone from that projects.

My friend told me about a time a nikka not from his projects, pressed him in his own projects, because the dude had just came home from jail and my friend didn't live there at the time. shyt had me crying.

I hated Linden Projects in East NY because the elevator never worked, and my friend lived on the 11th floor. :snoop:. Stepping in piss with fresh Jays on is a no go my guy.
