There's some stories to be told & perspective from the North Bronx game the OP wouldn't be able to tell but I ain't mad at the thread.

The game is the game & shouldn't be romanticized. We all left with PTSD from the curb. Its hard to come to grips with the fact that most of the cats you grew up with are legit sociopaths, psychos & schizos. There's really no safe space to vent since you can't exactly share crack tales at the watter cooler in the office & internet weirdos will try to scribble in their notepad so they add your life exp to a wiki/yt channel.

Basically, domesticated version of Vietnam filled with traumatized, burnt put middle aged demons who participated in the 80s/90s Crack era.

We need a Cultural Anthropology book on how black people's values changed with the mentality of the drug game.

Excellent thread on the 90s dope game and E. Harlem and I'm glad you survived it! Way back in the day my fam moved to Conn but still would occasionally drive to the City and shop at La Marqueta on Park Ave when I was a kid. I used to mostly sit in the car and wait.
Years later I knew someone that knew someone in the Martin Luther King Towers but I'll tell the coli about that on another day.😉

Anyway just adding this dope, and I do mean DOPE 1960 film in the thread.
In the flick a White guy is running the dope game in Harlem even before Frank Lucas, Nicky Barnes, Frank Matthews and his connect Rolando Gonzalez Nuñez were rolling. 😅

Absolutely not, doesn't mean they were if high character or were really like that. Seen plenty of nikkas with terrible values have plenty of outside support while some of the most moral guys ("moral" in the best sense it can mean living that lifestyle) had no one holding them down...

No, I wouldn't do it all again. I never loved being in the game. It's something I fell into as a poor, desperate kid.

All types of shyt. There were a lot of dudes in the streets back then walking around with undiagnosed personality disorders doing shyt just because. I saw dude pull his dikk out and slap a chick in the face with it while her man was sitting right there. Couldn't do anything about it because him and his crew were killers. That was another one of the sick and awful parts of the game.



Been thinking about this thread more since Raising Kanan came out. What eventually happened to dudes like this roaming the streets? Dead or locked up for life?
