Roxanne Shante sons Nas in movie

[ogc163]

easy to say, but harder to say 'why'. And even harder, offer a better theory.

More than likely there was a competitive internal culture that wasn't diluted by other distractions/major influences in the neighborhood. Furthermore the ethnic makeup of QB probably has a lot more to do with QB's success than any prevalent interclass dynamics as you stated, as it is by most evidence more AA descendant based than several large Black community (I'm open to seeing evidence to the contrary) in NYC. The most notable North Bronx Black neighborhoods for example have long had more interclass Black interaction than QB and despite being separated by only several miles from the birthplace of hip-hop have never consistently produced a string of notable MC's.

I seen a Nas interview he said he really thought she was gonna put hands on him if he was wack.


Props to Shante for forcing him to become the Goat

 

[WaveMolecules]

Dope. Wonder why they didn't include u in the movie

And to think if it wasn't for Shante inspiring Nas and in turn inspiring Gawdfather on the Nastradamus Tour then we would have never got that 2002-2012 run that's still unmatched til this day.

If they could all get along, they would've conquered rap

They did, it was called G-Unit and they reigned supreme (pun intended).

Corona, beatnuts.

 

[Jimmy Two-Times™]

Yep. But is there another neighborhood in Queens that birthed so many legends?

Fair point. You're basically saying that there are more Black people in QB than any other neighborhood in NYC?

Corona, beatnuts.

isn't Kool G Rap also from Corona?

 

[mobbinfms]

I don’t think LL and Tribe are from Southside. But I will defer to an actual New Yorker on that. :prodigylol:

G Rap is from Corona I thought.
