Born in Harlem.

He called himself MC New York whilst he was in Cali too, it wasn't until he met Richie Rich that he decided to go by his real name.

There is a DVD of 2Pac walking around New York before Juice came out and he's calling himself that.
Not only born in NY. Lived there until he was 15-16 or something close to that. Under any other circumstances, that’s a New Yorker for life.

Not true. nikka wasnt just born in LI. He lived there. He went back n forth. Different situation from Nas altogether.
Not that I’m some LL biographer but I’ve never heard him talk about his upbringing in LI. All I’ve ever heard is that he’s been living with his grandma since he was a child and how that exposed him to different music. He went to HS in Queens too and I know his ass wasn’t commuting from Bay Shore to Jamaica for class

Do you have or know some interviews where he speaks on it?

The Colosseum Mall off 165th st and Jamaica Ave was a hangout spot for a lot of the rappers mentioned in this post.

These Genius lyrics are terrible :picard:

It was a quarter to two, Saturday afternoon
Me and my blood Stobo on the avenue
Jamaica Avenue, plannin' to stick a few
nikkas cop a [jewel?], say what we gonna do
Slide up in the coliseum on some [humbly?]

Peckham™ Come Get Me!
Oakland breh

Where he was raised, but he grew up in New York til he was 16. This is why he said he couldn't afford to go the college route which he was destined and had his place but couldn't afford so he went out west to live with family and work to send money back home then that's where he took his music seriously so that is why he claims Oakland and Baltimore other than Harlem til he was 14 then the Bronx and Brooklyn between then and 16. He alluded to it in many interviews and in the song Old School on Me Against the World
