Lets Talk About Games We Played Outside As Kids

[Kidd Dibiase]

Pick it up and get busted (free for all football)

Railroad tackle (Red Rover)

Tag/Freeze Tag...get enough girls and play hide and go get it

 

[Swirv]

Red light green light.


nicka knockin- not sure what yall call it but banging on people doors and running

Football

Basketball -24 or 50

Rock fights

Hide and seek with the whole hood esp in the dark after 9pm.

Or when we all used to go in the store like 20 deep and steal everything. Even though I get money now. Growing as a ghetto nikka was fun as hell

Yo my fukking dome got split during a rock fight. Me and kids from my building were throwing rocks like we were having warfare. I tried to do a sneak attack from behind the dumpsters and one a$$hole dropped a boulder on top of my head and cracked my melon and had me leaking everywhere. I swear I haven't been the same mentally since that episode.

It was a whole different era

Me and my friends would get on our bikes and ride like 20 miles away.... we used to ride to JFK and back Or ride out deep into Long Island and back

No GPS, no cell phones no nothing.... I don't know if I could give my kids that kind of freedom I used to wake up, tell my mom "going outside" and disappear for like 12 hours

We just explored and let nature guide us...I remember getting lost in alphabet city..its a whole different world out there..

Basketball
nikka ball, which was basket ball with no bouncing and nikkas tryna tackle you.
Suicide
butts up
Going bodies
Riding bikes
Walking to stores and up hills and shyt

Pin Dodge. If the dude guarding the pin accidentally kicked it over, the whole team was ready to whoop his ass . Teacher would be like .

Remember Freeze Tag Had iggas getting tagged standing like statues until they got tagged again

If you grew up in the Hood of an Inner City in the 80's early 90's then you probably hit some flips on a matress in an abandoned lot or some shyt shyt was literally hood gymnastics. Had nikkas out there hitting "notes"


What about Street Football. Remember that nikka that was like 5 years older than everybody that had to be All Time Quarterback


nikka Knocking That shyt has to be some of the most ignorant shyt known to man.But when you got a bunch of bad ass bored kids, ignorant shyt is gonna happen.


Other shyt that wasn't games, but we did that shyt cause we was bad as fukk:

Setting Fires

Climbing on roofs to jump off them bytches

Stealing shyt from stores like it was sport

Stealing bikes and having a bike chop shop in my cousins backyard

Damn cuh u bring back childhood memories like a muhfukka
