this was my shyt.

sure the stories were always on some typical shyt and they usually wrapped up nicely at the end of the every episode (typical dikk wolf steez) but i fukked with this hard.

having the dope guests at the end rocking at Natalie's and seeing hip-hop culture in the show and having the dope music playing throughout scenes and having minorities as more than the criminals was ill.

that little arc that they had with ice t as danny up and det. williams murking his little bro then him murking williams's fiance was some :ooh: shyt. that had me like :lawd: back in the day. ice t was ruthless as fukk and killed his role.

this scene in particular with montell jordan doing his rendition of "what you won't do for love?" while they show both funerals was dope, shyt meshed perfectly for the moment...

New York Undercover: Catman Comes Back Pt 4 - YouTube

it's a shame this will never get put on DVD due to the ridiculous cost of licensing the music performances and music used in the show.

gotdammit:to:..this episode came on the same day i came back my ex's funeral...later that day when i was watching that shyt esp during that song made me break down again and start crying:to:..i have sad memories attached to it


NY undercover is one of the GOAT shows for real though

They see me trolling, they hating.....
How did this show age?


I remember enjoying it back in the day but I also remember enjoying Batman and Robin(Clooney) and Power Rangers and both of those were terrible when I went back to revisit them

How does this show hold up against shyt like The Wire/Sopranos/Breaking Bad/Oz etc?

i think it ages pretty well. i've caught a few episodes on tvone and they were still entertaining. But they wont compare to those shows on hbo which were def more grimy and more realistic. But during ny undercover's run there was not another show on tv that was on that level and shot from a hood perspective

- one of my favorite episodes was when those african kids who were children soldiers came through. Those nikkas were bodying cats with them big ass machetes

Everytime this thread comes up....you know what time it is. The ICE T episodes..."Hey is JC here?" "No. I'm his fiance." "That's even better" "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO":laugh:

Then that dry lipped JC had to smash her in the 4th season :snoop: That just ruined everything..even though season 4 sucked anyway
