[Documentary] NY77:The Coolest Year In Hell

[Newark88]

This documentary highlights New York City during the turbulent year of 1977. In 77, NYC was a far cry from what it is today. Poverty and murder were at an all time high. Lawlessness was the norm. Sex and drugs in landmark places like Time Square 42 st were out in the open. And through all of this, the elements of Hip Hop, Punk Rock, Disco, and House all came into fruition.

I was only a baby in the late 70's. So my earliest memories of NYC were the early/mid 80's when my pops would have me and my friends hopping on the train to Harlem and sell Muslim oils when I was 6/7 years old. True story lol
