When did African Americans get that young nikka look?

It doesn't matter, just watch and study

Early 90's east coast rap culture, low cuts, better blends on fades. That alone keeps you looking a certain age.

1987/1988

alot of factors

- easier liftstyle
- jobs that arent manual labor
- access to food and healthcare
- exercise & diet
- shyt just dudes stop wearing the George Jefferson donut and going bald knocks 10 years off

overall its safe to say that even 30-40 years ago ppl lived harder lives and it showed

 

[Nkrumah Was Right]

Fair enough on the authenticity though I don’t see that photo with the rest in the link you sent. The British had been in Nigeria since at least the 1700’s and had dominance in the area since the 1850’s.

The British didn’t complete their conquest of Igboland (the site of the photos) until the 20th century, after their defeats of the Aro Confederacy (1903) and the Ekumeku Movement (around 1914)

It’s the food and water. Estrogen in the water. Chemicals in the food and plastics in everything. Average breh walking around frail as fukk built like a skinny woman

Gen X. Nas is one example from that gen.

Run DMC or Slick Rick

Who dressed like drug dealers

Or Rakim

Who also dressed like one

But it probably started in the late 60’s

Life wasn't predicated around championing child like behaviour or being a child at all,you had to grow the fukk up and quick cause life wasn't giving any passes. We have come to this perpetual Peter Pan syndrome where we glorify youth above anything else,God, family,honour, accountability and shame are talking points,not foundational traits that govern our way of life anymore. Women chase the promise of entitlement,men chase adulation and our elders are an afterthought to the inevitable and unavoidable passing of time we've come to dread the way a child does.
