Yeah. Prodigy was born in Hempstead

Prodigy was also raised in Hempstead.

New York seemed like a small world

Queens was really a small world. I ran into legends on some minding my own business shyt.

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

Tribe represents Linden blvd. That's Southside. I don't know what side of Linden...the one closer to Lincoln park or towards Rochdale

Southside, Hollis, St. Albans, Springfield Hardens, are towns that surround what’s considered Jamaica proper.

But sometimes people use Jamaica as a blanket term for all of them. Most likely cause of Jamaica Ave. EDIT: ....which is the cultural center of the entire area. All the shop, buses and trains are located along here so people from those surrounding towns convene there and it technically becomes an extension of their own town in a way.

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

#FACTS.

P might technically be from Hempstead and then moved in Lefrak, but I consider him a QB dude all day. He stayed in QB all day, his crew was from QB, and he repped QB hard as fukk all day.

And at this movie portraying young Nasir as all bashful and shyt. Still, even fake young Nasir went in with the bars.

Wrong. P had alotta people from Hempstead. P was raised in Hempstead. And it’s Hempstead nikkas that he brought to get retaliation when he got stomped out and robbed by certain grimey QB nikkas I dont even gotta name.

I know he was raised in Hempstead. That's why I said he might technically be from there. When I say his QB crew, I'm talking Hav, Noyd, the Twins, etc. All QB dudes. He talks about how he became addicted to QB in his teens in his book. And if you don't wanna count P as a QB dude, you can't count Nas or Mega either. Nas was born in Crown Heights and moved to QB at a young age while Mega moved to QB specifically to sell crack. All I'm sayin is P didn't rap about Hempstead or Lefrak. He rapped about QB, so that's why I consider him a QB artist.

I know people who know him.

Breh you can’t throw that out there and not go into detail. When you say back and forth, what do you mean exactly? Im assuming you mean before high school. Everything he’s ever said has proved otherwise and as far I know, from what he’s said, he moved to Queens as a child permanently cause his mother was shot by his father. Not that I necessarily don’t believe you, but it doesn’t make sense with his life timeline so I’m genuinely curious about “insider” stories.

P on Everyday Gunplay
These Genius lyrics are terrible

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?]

I wish it was still in its heyday but its actually for sale right now. People only go there these days for cheap gold, sneakers, and I think it’s still one of the only places on the ave that still airbrushes clothing? I pass it all the time but I haven’t been inside in AGES.

I was trying to find a picture of the interior to show you how dilapidated it is and came across this instead. Maybe you’ve seen it already. Enjoy

Compton VS QB is a battle.

Bruh Compton is an entire city, with its own mayor, city officials etc

QB is just a large housing projects

Combine the Jordan Downs/Nickerson Gardens and Imperial Courts in Watts and that's QB

South Jamaica Queens and Jamaica Queens are 2 neighborhoods that are literally right next to each to each other. There's alot of overlap, but they are distinct but still the same area


Similar to Flatbush Brooklyn, and East Flatbush Brooklyn. I'm from Brooklyn so I could tell the difference from East Flatbush and Flatbush by eyesight


Put it this way. Jamaica Queens is the area where people know about more. People from all over NY come through there if they are coming to Queens. Where the J train is, LIRR railroad, York Cuny college etc etc

South Jamaica Queens is more residential, and more known in the Hip Hop world cause the legends are from there


Hope I didn't confuse ya'll

South jamaica and jamaica are not 2 different neighborhoods.jamaica queens is not a neighborhood. Jamaica is a whole area with a bunch of neighborhoods south jamaica included. South jamaica is not more residential than the rest of jamaica since it has more projects n buildings than the rest of jamaica.

Tribe represents Linden blvd. That's Southside. I don't know what side of Linden...the one closer to Lincoln park or towards Rochdale

They from St Albans side of linden. They not from southside.they mural is right next to gilmore

 

[Shadow King]

yo they made him look like a square ass motherfukker lol

He probably was...till he finally didn't take his ass to school

 

[prophecypro]

He came back and impressed by the end tho

 

[Yaddam Yussein]

LL is from Farmers
Tribe is from St. Albans
Onyx is also from Southside

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.

This is the answer. North Bronx never produced much because the black areas north of Gun Hill Rd are Jamaican. It's no coincidence that Brooklyns historically AA area of Bed Stuy produced way more rappers than a Carribean area like Flatbush.
