i'm going with late 80's nyc though it's kinda internet cap on my part because i was actually living in florida at the time but i did move back in the summer of '89 so i'll allow it without any guilt lol. best era of hip hop with approximately 10 blassic albums dropping in 1988 alone, high top fades, gumbys, swatches, hawaiian suits, dapper dan, k swiss, black bart simpson t shirts, start of the deceps & low lifes :whoa:(fashion wise & slang i ain't no gangsta, i'm a square b lol), best time to watch the nba with '88 jordan, magic, bird, dominique, and zeke, and the pro black era was in full swing at all them black bookstores my pops used to take me to. i actually met griff with dad & my uncle right before the anti semitic controversy that got him kicked out of public enemy

Brooklyn keeps on taking it.
That Wale “Nike Boots” song was indie/local I remember it used to get played on after hours on MTV or some shyt

ACG’s was only popping in a few markets anyway. NYC/Tri-State and Bmore/DC don’t think other nikkas wore them like that.

Jones and Max B the ones that made it pop here while in Bmore/DC they were on it as part of their culture. The AF1 also had history in Bmore. Also, we know Dipset fashion influence trickled down South especially into Atlanta and the Carolinas, and nikkas like Weezy.

With that being said I hope ACG’s make a come back tired of uncomfortable Timbs :russell:


I don’t find them uncomfy at all lol. But yea Nike boots were dope cause they were boots but you can move in them like they sneakers lol

Def agreed. Need more posters like @Hennessypapi a welcome and necessary addition to content. He’s on point and creative.

over seeing that goofy fukkin gay gossipy groupies or dumbed down shyt on the front page over the past 6 months with all those weird projecting attention needy posters recycling the same shyt and forced devising of plot devices that people are getting tired of. You included and your name call out, roll call *insert poster name here threads. You should take notes. Anytime I see @Kamala Harry @Gator Tealoaded and you dap surfing on the first page with multi-threads. I logged right the f back out- Low vibrational low energy low mentality - hit the nope and exited expeditiously.
:deadmanny::deadrose:

Big facts. Every single sentence.

The Deceps all got started at the gifted and talented program lol - heads were super smart to get into Brooklyn Tech but were tired of being bullied for their academic talents. Ended up turning from being fearful into one of the most feared among their rivalries.

word, lol wild right? this nikka steele from smif-n-wessun went to tech and he was breaking down that exact story about how he became a decep in an old interview

goes to show that for black youth who are constantly victimized by the fight-is-fixed white dominant society & are helpless to stop it will go to extreme lengths to make sure that nobody else is going to do it. especially those who are victims just like them
