It was fuked up & we're seeing the effects of it now with the adults that grew up in it & their children. There's certain things I saw back then that truthfully I wish I didn't as a kid.

I was in Brooklyn before we moved to LA....that shyt was truly a sight to see back then....it was almost like the walking dead....I could look out my project window at anytime of the night and see the fiends arguing, fighting and smoking that crack out in the open....you could tell it wasn't cigs by the smell and the smoke cloud....shootings, robberies and murders on a nightly basis....we thought it was going to be better when we got to LA....that shyt ended up being worse..........

Things a little breh should have never seen, my parents had joint custody, so half the time I was with my pops over in West Philly...In the 80s...
- Pagers and payphones
- Burners
- Goldchains
- Ford Escorts or 5.0 Mustangs
- Crack pipes hidden in my cousin's toys
- Run-DMC,New Edition, Bobby Brown, New Jack Swing were the only real happy times imho...

There are quite a number of things I can't mention on here, but let's just say some kinfolk were really into that lifestyle...

Now the survivors of that era often continue that dysfunction through no fault of their own...

It was such a simpler time

Damn, breh, I was just playing on your username, didn't mean to bring up unpleasant memories


Hold some rep as reparations

Dad sold it mom smoked it.... fukk Crack!!

 

[Bigsuk]

In the 80's, people were getting killed left and right...Old heads, young heads, turf wars, debt, robberies.

I lived in the projects at the time and I didn't realize that many of my friends had moms who were pipeheads.

I grew up with Wayne Perry's son and lived in his old house.

I remember the drug dealers would give me money for bringing home good grades. They were one of the first to encourage my positive reinforcement.

U ever see Wayne Perry in the flesh ?? N was he really that feared the way the media make him out to be an unstoppable killing machine ?? N wasn't there rumours put out there him and rayful Edmonds were cousins ...?? Would make sense since they never seemed to bump -heads n they would have came across 1 another since before alpo rayful was the biggest crack dealer in dc....

 

[NoGutsNoGLory]

Dad sold it mom smoked it.... fukk Crack!!

At least the money stayed in the family............





im sorry for the hard life breh. That shyt was the final nail in the cofeen for our ppl.

 

[VicMackey415]

It was good and bad like someone else said. Crack heads washing cars better than details shops.
Cartoons was the shyt back then.
I really miss the cars from the late 70 and 80s (my pops had a 2 door cut supreme) cuzzo had the rag top cutless on them mustard and mayonnaise
My uncle lived with us was a crack head but i never knew. He had a job at kaiser as a maintenance man. Crazy
Kids use to actually play outside all dam day if mom let us.
Music was good too. Miss those days.

 

[BmoreGorilla]

It was crazy seeing people you looked up to submit to that shyt. nikkas who were big and strong all of a sudden were frail and weak. I seen two of my uncles go thru that. One of my homeboys pops ODd and my homeboy was the one who found him. He still has issues from that and were like 11 at the time.

I'm actually glad I was a kid at the time and couldn't fully understand. The music was dope, tv was dope, fashion was dope, and a junkie copped me my first bottle at 13

 

[Mr. Negative]
