Great video. I love looking at stuff like this..to me, this is what YT is all about. They simply do not show this kind of stuff on mainstream TV; they're too obsessed with being trendy and well, altogether predictable. Safe. Boring. Notice also that, despite the lower population, there does seem to be more people out and about. These days most folks in my city seem content with just staying in watching rubbish or using Facebook etc. I miss the days of 'downtown' life.
@adam1199083 Today is quite a bit safer than it was back in the 70s/80s. I taught in a public school in the Bronx for a couple years. Visually it looks a lot better, but out of most places in the city, it's still tops in most dangerous. But like I said, not nearly as bad as then.
for immigrants coming to america we had no money and no place to go, we went to the bronx because thats all we could afford, ill tell u people look after their own when you live there, my mother never has a word of hate or remorse about the south bronx. it may look like shit but the people didnt make it that and didnt live that way for the most part shit even young bangers helped her carry groceries give up their seats on bus when she took us kids out and made sure we didnt get hassled
@ronduenyc The Jewish landlords had nothing to do with the fires although anti-Semites such as yourself will always blame the Jews.We did our best to provide affordable clean and safe housing to low income minorities.Big mistake considering they burnt down most of the buildings with their overloading of the circuits done by their boom-boxes.
@MrFredGoldstein You've got to admitt. When there is trouble. You people always happen to be right on the spot. We all know who is the boss of the FedRes now do we ? Ben Shalom Bernanke. And we have the same stuff here in Europe: Sarkozy, Rosenthal, Cohen, pro-Israel Wilders. I am sure it's all just a perfect little coincidence. As always.
@AmersfoortTristan It has nothing to do with coincidence, but what it has to do with is -good business savvy and the fact that we are good speakers as well as politicians.You would blame "Jews" if you got a damn cold you anti-Semitic piece of crap!
@MySugarWallz The tenants burned the buildings down in oreder for the government to provide more subsidized housing projects.The landlords had provided adequate and affordable housing but it was not appreciated due mostly from the anti-semitic feelings of the predominant catholic tenants.
@MrFredGoldstein You are an utter scumbag liar and Jews like you give everybody else a bad name. And save your "anti-semite" blah blah blah. You are probab;y not even truly Semitic. Your ancestry is probably Russian or somewhere else in Europe. LOL
I don't care about any religion. All religions suck - including Judaism. But liars and land thieves suck worse than anybody else. Scum of the earth.
@1ResearchLady Sorry but what I stated was nothing but the truth based on facts.
I have friends that are landlords who owned property in the Bronx.The tenants caused the fires by overloading the circuits with their boomboxes and air conditioners.They were irresponsible and cause alot of grief to the owners and fellow tenants.

@JakeMansonNYC You sound like a dirty JEW.. Yeah, Charlie Sheen is right, I c what he is talking about now... Now i c y Mr. Sheen and other who look like him "ARE WINNING".

U can spread that propaganda Koch 2 ppl who believe that; but i know better..
@ftnrbhmwk Now now now, this leads to such retorts from Jews such as "schvartzer", which is Yiddish for "dirty black person". The problem is that insults such as the above lead to nonsense such as what happened in Crown Heights years ago. Whatever happened to respect for others?

In addition, the Bronx was once the JEWISH borough.... it ought to have stayed Jewish... we're not quite as dirty as the occupants that followed us. :-p
@Rickyrab Hey Ricky, it's that kind of thought that led to the formation of the first ghettos. You do realize that Jews were relegated to ghettos in Germany and other occupied territories in the years of the Third Reich? They were called "dirty" and "vermin" also. So I think that you'd be better served if you checked your history before you start uttering things that expose your shallowness and ignorance. :-)

@ftnrbhmwk Mayor Koch came into office in 1977. But the rot had set in during the late 1960s but it's not like Koch seems to have made all that much of a difference excepting for plunging people further into poverty and telling to them "work".
@JakeMansonNYC It wasn't Ed Koch; it was Mayor Giuliani in 1994.. He clean up New York, An Italian. When Koch was running NYC, Manhattan had rows, and rows, of peep shows down Time Square in the 70's and 80's. 85% of NCY were slums. Koch and Reaganomic put NYC cities and the country into a ression. Remove 75% of the UNIONS, therefore; big company and corporations left overseas! Koch (bank brokers), wallstreet,(JEWS); is the reason y the U.S. is in debt. Stop sayin lies out of ur mouth. LIER!!!!

I lived in the south bronx up until I was 25. I was born in rasied there! 1979 to 2004 . The bronx was not the only borough facing hard times. Brooklyn and harlem had the same problems. I wouldent change where I was raised for nothing in the world. I learned alot growing up there. Great video.. I was rasied in the morrisania section. Was I poor yes! Was I happy yes! Am I proud of where I am from Yes!
It was poor back then but I bet it felt more like a community than it does now. People are so into themselves these days, they forget about each other.
@FCAopium It seems like you haven't been to the South Bronx lately. A lot has changed. There are no more vacant lands. New buildings are being built and old ones are renovated. Believe me. I grow up in the South Bronx. More diversity then before.
I can't understand why there is this nastalgia for the NYC of the seventies and eighties. The landlords burned down their properties because they wouldn't be allowed to recoup the cost of repairs or improvements because of rent control. The ctiy was so broke that the only buyers of municipal debt were the unions who stood to lose if the city filed for bankrupcy. This is what capital flight looks like. If Obama gets reelected you might get to revisit your childhood.
I don't think it's so much nostalgia for the living conditions in the South Bronx 30+ years ago as it is for the cultural movement that was emerging from that part of the city as a reaction to the surrounding blight and ceaseless violence.
@solidgolddick Nostolgia exists because people grew up back then. And Obama has nothing to do with capital flight. That particular barn door was left open long before Obama and the horse had already bolted.
@solidgolddick You ignorantly believe it was rent control that caused industrial fallout & unions that caused capital flight. You're dead wrong. It was the fact that workers were given no housing equity & their wages so rock bottom that caused there to be a tax base & dilapidation problem in the 1st place. That, & landlords' duties were unenforced by ultra corrupt city mgmt. Trade agreements drove the industry & jobs out to other vast child slave army depots, not unions, fool.
@musicalidea in relative terms wages were higher for workers than they are now and housing costs were lower as share of income (if housing could be found). Most of the information that I cited came from a documentary I saw on CNBC that was produced by the BBC. You do have a point about trade agreements leading to fewer industrial jobs in the U.S.. But if you compare the cost of doing business in NYC to other locations it's at a cost disadvantage.
i lived their in the bronx till i was 14, then my family moved cross country to the rural mid west in the early ninties i hated my new high school and hated it until i graduated i was so mad at my folks for leaving the city hell i coulda lived with my aunty or something, but still they won and i lost havent been back would like to go back, Clint
@blaby4ever Economy went bad for NYC in the 1970s and is caused building owners to burn down buildings for money. They paid gangs to help them. We may go through it again...Nationwide.
@blaby4ever And it's coming fast. I just wish my friends were wide awake. They think I'm crazy when I tried to inform them about what's going to happen.
those where the days, a 18 year old boy from mexico, when the aparment was free, but the landlords never gave a fuck and burnt the buildings, when the puerto ricans & dominicans where nice, humble, people,but times changed but it wasn't that messy, walk the whole 3rd avenue, webster ave, i remember the school burning at yankee stadium, as i remember in 1977...
@FernyBass007 nice comment.. i totally respect mexicans. many work so hard but make little money. there are still dominicans (like myself) and puerto ricans who still have respect. but i do see that typical ones are very rude and disrespectful thinking they're better than another. im just glad im not one of them.
This is the real South Bronx. The one that I grew up in today it' aint nothing like that. It is all fixed up. I go grocery shopping now where all those burn't out buildings used to be and I live in Hunts Point and they chased most of the ho's away. But it brings back alot of good memories and I remember hearing that song way back when but don't know who did it. Thanks for posting.

@TheJbraw theres LOTS AND LOTS of songs that are unheard of and they sound really good. they must have been underground music. the music industry doesnt give a chance to every song in the world. there could be a new song right now that sounds waaaay better than any other song made tody but gets rejected because they think it will not make money.

Most of the information that I cited came from a documentary I saw on CNBC that was produced by the BBC. You do have a point about trade agreements leading to fewer industrial jobs in the U.S.. But if you compare the cost of doing business in NYC to other locations it's at a cost disadvantage.

@blaby4ever Economy went bad for NYC in the 1970s and is caused building owners to burn down buildings for money. They paid gangs to help them. We may go through it again...Nationwide.

those where the days, a 18 year old boy from mexico, when the aparment was free, but the landlords never gave a fuck and burnt the buildings, when the puerto ricans & dominicans where nice, humble, people,but times changed but it wasn't that messy, walk the whole 3rd avenue, webster ave, i remember the school burning at yankee stadium, as i remember in 1977...

@FernyBass007 nice comment.. i totally respect mexicans. many work so hard but make little money. there are still dominicans (like myself) and puerto ricans who still have respect. but i do see that typical ones are very rude and disrespectful thinking they're better than another. im just glad im not one of them.

This is the real South Bronx. The one that I grew up in today it' aint nothing like that. It is all fixed up. I go grocery shopping now where all those burn't out buildings used to be and I live in Hunts Point and they chased most of the ho's away. But it brings back alot of good memories and I remember hearing that song way back when but don't know who did it. Thanks for posting.

Amazing music in this part 2 and the previous (part 1) video and you can see the environment in which the ideas for the music came from really! Fantastic stuff. Great up.

@TheJbraw theres LOTS AND LOTS of songs that are unheard of and they sound really good. they must have been underground music. the music industry doesnt give a chance to every song in the world. there could be a new song right now that sounds waaaay better than any other song made tody but gets rejected because they think it will not make money.

Hi! Thanks a lot for all your videos. They're amazing!
It's a real pleasure to watch something about what took place in the '80s.
A little question..can you tell me if you know some websites where you can watch 80's movies about New York?
