i went there with a typical anti-east coast, california kinda vibe.. but i kinda dig the city.
random thoughts

-The train system is amazing.
-there is absolutely no where to park in Manhattan
-I couldnt catch a cab for shyt... racist ass Arabs..
-everyone is rude as hell (except the Spanish folks for some reason)
-what in the world is a Sicilian? god damn them hoes was fine.
-I was disappointed that nobody I spoke to said "Son" God" or "Peace God"
-Times Square is annoying.
-Queensbridge is hood as fukk, but the street over is a lotta of white people, which was weird.
-Do or Die Bed Stye no longer exists, its now Rent or Buy...... all that stuff Biggie rapped about no longer exists...
-didnt realize Marcy and where Biggie grew up is less than 1 mile.
-Queens (by the JFK airport) is the only place i seen with houses.
-Manhattan clubs are wack as fukk... just a bunch of drugged up skinny hoes..phony Hollywood vibe.
-Meatpacking District was even worse.
-Brooklyn had the best clubs and the finest women.
-First time in my life seeing Puerto Rican and Dominican Women :blessed:

-Harlem was crackin, walked down whatever street that had the Apollo...
-spoke to a dude who owned the Italian Pizza joint who told me stories about the 1980s and early 90s in Harlem and how much its changed.
-Newark is a piece of shyt.
-South Jamaica Queens look like a middle class neighborhood.
-I had no idea Ground Zero and Times Square were in two different areas of Manhattan (seemed like about 10 miles)
-went to Ground Zero, shyt was surreal.

Overrall, i was impressed, i like the city... but i kinda see why NYC Hip Hop is Dead.... there is no culture anymore, the NY Undercover, Wu Tang, Illmatic stuff they talked about was completely different than what i experienced. :manny:

Sweet.

Also, Jay Z named himself after the Marcy Ave J/M/Z stop. If you go to the Crown Chicken near Marcy and Myrtle (between Marcy Houses and Tompkins Houses) you can buy the Jay Z special for I believe it is $9.99.

i went to some BBQ joint on Market street, and just drove around... shyt feels like they still stuck in 1991
You probably went to Dinosaur BBQ. Thats the tourist spot. It's cool but Ferry St. is 5 mins. away you shouldve went there instead. Portuguese BBQ joints and Brazilian Grills all through there and they have way better prices. If you go to a random spot in Newark of course you gonna say its a piece of shyt though. It seems like you were looking for any reason to hate.

I meant generally speaking, I flew to Newark, and spent a good 2-3 hours there, and it has some spots that feel like Oakland CA in the 1980s:yeshrug:
