Some clown vandalized Prodigy's mural in Queens UPDATE: It was fixed then defaced again! WTF

[spliz]

Fuk it... put the mural in Hempstead

QB is too shifty

Should've been in Hempstead from the beginning.

 

[spliz]

This is fukking ridiculous.

Real talk I don't give a fukk if P was from Timbuktu that nikka repped QB harder than ANY MC not named Nasir Jones. His mural belongs there and to deface his legacy while he's not here to defend it for himself is low level bullshyt.

All them Crab in a barrel QB nikkas need to get their lives together and stop hating on a man who is accomplishing more in death than they ever will in life

Hempstead and Queens is like brother and sister that shyt should've been in Hempstead anyway. fukk them hatin ass nikkas in QB.

 

[feelosofer]

What a shame to disrespect someone's hard work and labor of love.

It shouldn't be shocking that there are people that seriously dislike P. I mean he did air out a bunch of people in a book. He's not from Queensbridge. Same reason why you probably wouldn't see an Ice Cube Mural in Compton because he aint from Compton. Dre Yes, Kendrick Yes, Maybe even the Game.

There are people that obviously have some serious issues with P legacy in Queensbridge.

instead of saying fukk them hating ass nikkas why dont ya'll just wake up and get the message that P left a bad taste in peoples mouths before he passed and the people of QB are responding.

Because he's gone and they didn't settle it while he was living.

Who knows why this is done but if P did something to you or one of your fam back in the day...did you or a fam member real dirty back before the fame...and you never got justice and saw the dude just get bigger and bigger as time went on...i mean throwing paint is some bytch shyt - but just because he was P and was a celeb and a rap icon doesn't mean he's immune to people not liking him. he seemed like a real gutter type of dude and for some people the dirt you did or the slights against people you made just doesn't disappear when you die. sometimes bells can't be un-rung for some people. im sure there are more than a few dudes in queens who are celebrating the guy's death as bad as that sounds for all of us fans

i can't see the landlord doing something like this because that wasn't a little throw up mural that shyt took time and money so im sure the landlord gave the dude permission


I want to touch on some things re: the area around QB ... especially to the dude who posted above who works in real estate (long post ahead)

i think the gentrification in NYC is more or less disgusting but that area is different. there was literally nothing in that area in LIC where all these new condos are being built. it's not like mad people got displaced for these buildings to go up. it was industrial or better yet post-industrial...a shytload of empty/ran down warehouses with a few row-homes sandwiched in-between (and the value of those has increased like 10x) ...and the queens bridge P's right there along side of it. It was no-mans-land and these developers basically created a new neighborhood. From what I hear a lot of QB residents aren't really mad at it because it brought a lot of new services to the neighborhood. QB has calmed down matter of fact they went a full 365 days without a murder (recently broken) and they have a crazy active and efficient tenants association. QB is one of, if not the oldest, housing project in America and definitely the biggest. NYCHA sunk a shytload of money into doing renovations the past few years. Those people aren't going anywhere and the work the tenants association, city counsel members, and QB community activists have done to turn that place around one day will be held up a model for successful public housing in america

If anyone is familiar with the area they know the crazy amount of apartment buildings that went up or are in the process of being built...these "luxury" high rises. an insane amount of supply. well...there really isn't going to be people to fill them. Even in Manhattan where all of the types of people who would live in these buildings, these out of towners, there is a crazy amount of "luxury" supply. To the dude above who works real estate...im sure you already know this. How are you gonna convince out of towners to pay $3,000 a month to live in Queens?? These places in LIC are gonna either sit empty for mad long or the landlords are going to have firesale prices to get people in the door. I remember about 10 or 11 years ago a new "luxury" building went up in East Harlem to ostensibly attract white people...well...the shyt sat empty for so long the owner entered the LINC program and started accepting vouchers for homeless people.

On top of that to take advantage of tax breaks and credits most of them are offering 20% affordable units with different ranges based on income. There's a huge building coming up on Jackson Ave (I think it's the development where 5 Points was) and one of the 2 towers is completely affordable units based on income. I'm not defending it...matter of fact I don't see how it's possible to add like 20,000 people to an area and think everything is gonna be gucci with the current infrastructure which is old and shytty. But the LIC situation is much different than what has happened or is currently happening to neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Manhattan. I think NYC is on it's last leg of gentrification. NYC's bubble has just grown more and more and it's bound to pop. Wait until they start taxing HEAVY on foreigners who warehouse luxury real estate in NY for an investment, on top of the death of retail stores and all those commercial spaces with balloon mortgages...the bubble will pop...and it probably won't be pretty. If anyone lives in NYC and makes under $120k a year and plans on staying here I suggest applying to every affordable housing lottery there is under your name and every one of your relatives names

Yo...you bring up a very interesting point.

I actually dealt with two luxury apartment complexes with my agency had to bow out of cause no one wanted to move into them in Bedford-Stuyvesant. Brand new digs, everything inside waqs nice (on 438 Throop Ave), but why pay $2800 + a month to live in the hood? You couldn't even pay people to move in there.

Stop defending cornball shyt. Oh wait, you're a 40 plus year old cornball

 

[Heavy_Handz]

People assuming it's because he's not from QB originally or people from QB are "responding." Maybe it's just one douche bag

 

[Drip Bayless]

Even after the man died QB nikkas still on that crab in a barrel shyt

 

[Unknown Poster]

Im thinking it's some personal shyt. Thought it could've been a land lord, but if it was they probably woulda stopped them from fixing it or something

Yep...this is definitely personal.
