Born '87 raised in Brooklyn Ave. Missed two years of BK sent to Haiti once Giuliani got into office so when I came back most of my memory is of post Giuliani clean up.
While it wasn't a clean place I never felt like I was in danger. I've been in fights (regular middle school drama) but nothing serious like getting jumped on the way home, never got robbed, etc.
Most of the horror stories come from mom and pop. My father was already in the Bronx late 70s and my mom came in early 80s and then they both moved to Brooklyn. Both of them were grateful for Giuliani though
at them picking up and just leaving one day. Their cheese was godly

at these hipsters, they don't know the Brooklyn we grew up in
To my true BK heads, who remebers that pizza shop in the middle Fulton that had crowds down the street, because it was the best pizza you ever had in your life.
And, remeber the big movie theatre on Fulton. I saw so many classics there. TNMT, Batman Returns, Adam's Family, Jurrassic Park, Lion King, The Mask, etc.
Back when people did it with fist and not guns.
we ain't know she was messing with a Decep. But they stick around outside, they don't dip... So then this nikka Kevin comes out... Kevin was the kinda nikka who wouldn't take no for an answer from the females, and would think that his rap was strong. So I see a quick point of "that's him", and the Decepticon nikka approaches him. He's like "yo money (I know, I know... LOL), I hear you been trying to talk to my girl", and Kev looks like 
"I ain't been trying to talk to your girl", and then when he saw who the girl was, he was like 
.... What was funny was the exchange: dude was like "you trying to talk to my chick?" and son was like, "nah, man, no".... "Oh, you calling my girl a liar?".... "nah, man!" "So you WAS trying to talk to her!!" It ended with dude threatening him, "If I ever hear you thinking about trying to talk to her again, you gonna catch it..." And he was about to walk off and leave it at that... So for the life of me, why did this nikka Kev put his hand up like he wanted to give son dap. nikka looked at his hand, then looked at him, and dropped him with one shot to the jaw. Then he walked off telling his nikkas, "you see that nikka tried to give me a pound after I let him live?" We was rolling.
Only we can diss new york and say we hate it. No one else can
Remember when nikkas in Harlem was getting shot and robbed over murms and shyt
Crazy times yo.
But on a different note, NY is still live as fukk. I dont know why people act like there was some great change. Music wise NY has only been cold since Fif fell off. Which was like 5 years ago.
Reason why the NY hip hop scene is stagnant is cuz of 50's goof ass. When he was on top. He literally brought down EVERY single Relevant NY Hip hop artist from EVERY borough over some beef shyt Ja Rule (Queens) Fat Joe (The Bronx) Cam (Harlem) Puff (Manhattan) Jay (Brooklyn) Jada (YO/914) .
The aftermath left a shattered and dis-unified city hip hop wise. Its slowly coming back together tho, give it 2 years NY gon be right back on track. The major problem with NY rap is ego's. Groups internally beefing with each other(Dipset,Roc,G-unit,Wu) , burroughs not fukking with each other etc.
But the younger generation aint on that bullshyt, mainly thanks to social media and the net. All NY need is a new batch of talent and we gon be right back.
oh shyt.. raised on linden blvd in the 30s
