"Preme was the businessman and Prince was the Killer." Prince welcome home party last night

[Braman]

I’ll admit, im a hypocrite. Bc this is fascinating. Someone like Black Just was rooted in 50, Jay, and Nas’ careers

Nah NY takes the glorification up a notch. Because in most places when legends come home after doing decades, you either hear about em or never see them nikkas again (and not cause mf's scared of retaliation), or if you see them, its a small party or gathering with people really connected to them---->meaning blood relatives and people who ran with them, if they around...

You rarely, rarely see these big homecoming bashes that New York throws their figures with regularity. Because in most places, time moves on, people may know the names or stories of these guys, but mf's aren't holding on to the past. And the young mf's in it right now certainly don't care about who did what 20, 30, 40 years ago...

NY the only place I know of where the contemporary street culture is so stuck on and tied into previous eras. Thats a uniquely New York thing, I feel like...

These nikkas is old men if they make it home. Majority of them dont care to be seen like that and the ones who do, there isn't these welcome home parades waiting on em, vast majority of occasions...

Everybody city got figures from each era (60s, 70s, 80s, on up to the 20s today) who were essentially hitmen, or guys who were heavy bag getters, etc. Those types of guys and characteristics are not a NY thing, if you from any city with any kind of size to it, those people were around in every era of your town too. NY is just intrinsically attached to their past in a different way...

NY cats call any nikka who "looks the part" or sounds the part a street nikka second greatest rapper ever, a true musician and legend but ain't nothing ever told about fam ever gave up "street nikka"

Every region does this.

Only difference is that the New York guys are entrenched into hip hop culture, media, fashion, etc. so they get more glorification and have been immortalized.

The contemporary street culture is very different than what it was in the 80’s.

This is an old timer affair too it’s not like the city was clamoring lol.

Baisley and most hoods in Queens were fukked up before Prince

They not even from Baisley.

They grew up in the houses and were middle class.

In the 50’s and 60’s when they were born these weren’t horrible places to live. Baisley was also new and mint condition then. Their generation ravaged Southeast Queens.

It was and still is a solid, black middle class area and mostly quiet as a whole. This is what LL Cool J’s block looked like at the height of the crack era.

So they weren't trying to throw a concert for Big Meech? He's from NY now?

You're off base. Prince got a party from people who knew him but you're acting like the whole city threw a parade. No one outside of his peer group cares. Everyone in attendance either knew him or was connected to other members of the Supreme Team. I already showed Nas's connection. Jada is the only one who isn't really connected.

King Tut came home recently. Did you see any celebrations? The only reason you know about Prince's event is because he had big name rappers perform. The only reason you think we glorify these guys is because it's done through the music. That's because these guys were at their apex when hip hop was just starting to take off.



That's literally some of the biggest street legends in the city on an album back cover in 1987. Rakim wasn't even in the streets like that.

Anyone rapping at that time was probably close to a street legend. If you came up in the crack era they were your heroes so 50 Cent was Black Just's little man, Nas was cool with Just, E Money Bags and several others. It's all in their music. Of course they're going to celebrate their guys coming home. That's the era they grew up in. No one after that time knows these guys like that so they don't care. You didn't see the younger generation there.

You admitted that people in other cities celebrate their guys coming home. The difference is you don't hear about it because their people aren't Nas or anyone famous. It's not NY's fault the people in other parts of the country don't get that spotlight. We're not doing anything different it's just on a bigger scale.

Y'all just can't keep NY out of your mouths for some strange reason. We breathe and you'll say it's different

I caught flack and warning points for pointing that out several years ago. Gen X still want to be smooth talking superthugs that are always outside, even in their Grey haired years.

This what I heard there wasn’t a ton of borwnstones and Projects like that in that part of queens. Good hard working Black people.

The fact that he wore a Tux is a throwback to old school Harlem gangstas going back to the Guy Taylor era.

There’s a Guy Taylor?

Nas is a smart dumb nicca. I still bump him and AZ's music tho

If we are being real, theyre not even gen x'ers. Theyre actually late baby boomers.

 

[Pazzy]

Nas is the GOAT deceiver. Hes smooth with it. Dude will talk about some conscious shyt in one line then literally big up some infamous drug dealer or murderer in the next. thats someone you dont play with.

 

[Swirv]

You do understand that you guys idolize a bunch of nikkas that idolize these guys and spun their lives into cute songs that you lived your entire life to, correct?

Revenge of the nerds ass nikkas.

You're just as ridiculous as Jadakiss.

 

[Voice of Reason]

This is what happens when white supremacy forces Black men into the Black market under ground economy. The only instance of success in some of these places were drug lords.

Oh I get you, their pops were both musicians but that’s where the similarities end.

When you realize most of the 90s rappers were actors…the sooner you’ll get it...
