Brooklyn was a lot more violent in the 80s and 90s because the neighborhoods really didn't like each other. People hear about NY and usually find out that one borough doesnt rock with another. What they don't hear about is how Brooklyn neighborhoods didn't get along at all.
Yes, people were worried about certain gangs but you can get robbed, beat up & killed back then just because of where you lived.
This was very noticeable in High School. If you went to night school or summer school in an area that didn't get along with your neighborhood, dudes from that area would beef with you in school.
Also, many of the gangs were created as a reaction to other neighborhoods guys coming to their neighborhood robbing people. This holds true for Flatbush in the early 90s. Once dancehall parties grew in popularity, it was dudes from other areas coming to Flatbush to stick people up.
Decepticons creation was simar except it was other schools going up to Brooklyn Tech and robbing them because they thought the very smart kids were sweet

I don't understand this. Yeah some AAs still have a bit of a southern twang (my great grandmother still does) but I know plenty (id say most) that DON'T. Even less in the younger generation these days. And many times it's easy to spot a West Indian nikka cause they patois slips out. Certain Carribean phrases, slang comes out. I knew a nikka from East Ny that sounded just like BK AA nikka until he kept talking, a certain Caribbean tone/phrase slipped out.
Many have a mix of Brooklyn and Caribbean accent lol. Look at those Flatbush drill rappers, speakin half Brooklyn AA, and half pidgin, patois lol.
There is a certain accent that only some AAs seem to have tho. It's not southern, it's New York but it's hard to explain. It's like they got something in they throat lol I noticed some of my fam have this accent. I don't know what to call it lol

Fixed. nikkas still getting stabbed in fort greene.
early 90s was the worst though
LK is over but a few the dominicans gangs are taking overIn Sunset Park where I live at I remember when I was a youngin in the 90s seeing Latin Kings and Netas. There used to be bangouts daily at what is now Sunset Terrace in 47th street. That street from 7th ave to 3rd ave was a no go zone. I was little so I didn’t really know shyt but the older I get and the stories I heard of the spots I usually be at makes meand thank God now the neighborhood is safe.
Which is good because it’s an immigrant community. Gang banging these days is corny now. But I will say this Latin Kings are on the rise. They about to make a major comeback. They own a club uptown that in two different occasions I went and everytime was filled with LK nikkas.
They also stretched to coney island. Its the only reason i pulled up to see if they were here18 Homoside Laws
Someone educated on NYC and the borroughs give a breakdown of the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s as far as street/hood shyt goes.
It's sad to think Black and Latin ppl were once deep in streets/neighborhoods that are predominantly the dwellings of rich/wealthy white ppl in 2018.

I’m from Brooklyn a place where stars are born.
Go to Playroom at Dyckman on a Thursday night. You will see mad LK nikkas in there. I go to school in Bridgeport CT and a deli near my apartment here gets packed with mad LK nikkas. Plus with the Junior shyt that happened in the BX has NYPD on a warpath to crackdown on the 3ni nikkas and DDP are all taxi drivers now. Who is going to benefit from all these 3ni get locked up? Latin Kings. They are on the come up. Quote this post in 5 years.
