@frank151 ..in ancient Rome...they had black emperors..their was a mixture of racial groups in rome but no racism ...racism started when scientist or anthropologist ran around all over the world declaring some racial groups as inferior thus starting racism ... also Jews were the first racist in the world ...its true
I read an article about the Making of 80 Blocks From Tiffany's in Wax Poetics No. 38. This is a great movie about the pre-crack 1979 era of the South Bronx. Cult classic indeed.
great upload!! its the real life warriors by which i mean new york in the 1970;s.as a londoner ny always fascinated me.have visited 5 times since great city!!
@DIYcomedy123 I was a child in nyc during the time of this video and the gangs sent chills down my spine. How is seeing dynamite on the street innocent? I was innocent and they scared me to death because they were living opposite of what I was living and I felt it in my core. Stop with all this 'good old days' stuff. Were talking about post Vietnam, race riots, public assassinations USA. Have you seen pictures of the South Bronx in the 70's? It looked bombed out. Be real.
@DIYcomedy123 Innocent street gangs is a contradiction in terms. This is comment from below: "the other guy(from the savage nomads) followed the girls took them into a building raped them and murdered them" This is innocence?
@TheJasonDR You're totally offbase. Yeah real fun, beating people into comas with lead pipes! These guys were involved in every illegal activity in the book including murder, rape, and extortion! I was a child in NY then, and trust me, it was a very scary place. The only real difference is that they didn't get the access to the type of military weaponry that gangs got during the crack time. Because the gangs were more under the thumb of the mafia whereas with crack there was more independence.
No offense to anyone here that may have family members in this film but as a young kid in the 1970's I got jumped by members of the Savage Nomads and I was 11 f**king years old. I was from Brooklyn and it was the same old story with the gangs there like the Crazy Homicides, Ghetto Brothers and Tomahawks. they were all a miserable bunch of cowards. There were very few that could actually fight worth a damn.
Thanks for putting up this footie, man, this is great hard to find stuff. I've got an album & music vids built around grimy New York in 1977, and I'm def gonna work some of this footage into my project. Thanks again, never would have heard about this movie otherwise! dope
@drdoom718 you welcome. like i said before i grow around the south bronx. and i had first hand of being around the nomads. my was the first lady president of the nomads. and she dated one of them. and i was a baby nomad also. so what they did back then and what i have hard is no surprise to me. i wish i could tell you more. one thing i could say though my mom loved the shit out of fly. he was like a son to her.
@drdoom718 shoot gun and the other guy followed the girls took them into a building raped them and murdered them if i remember shoot gun 25 to life for that. i know this because i grow up around the gang and i was a baby nomad at the time........
@drdoom718 I could confirm about the double rape and murder i was about 5 at the time i was going to p.s 90 there was these two guys from the nomads standing outside the building and no it wasn't fly the guy i'm talking his name was shoot gun he was a good friend of my mom these two girls were looking to buy weed and they asked shoot gun and the other where could they buy some weed but these two girls were real bitches and when they left they looked back at shoot gun and said fuck you.
@Scrumdidilyumpchious sorry it wasn't fly who did the rape and murder of those two girls. and it wasn't in 1981. the rape and murder of those two girls were in 1978. i know because i grow up around that gang. and my mother was the first lady president.

When you're an outsider...it's so easy to look a cup as half empty, but when you're a fish inside of it...it's half full! Obviously, these predominantly poor black and latino youths felt a need to assert themselves in society through their own means as a way to redefine their devalued poor self-image. Out of society's wasteland, Hip Hop was born. These deprived youth created something beautiful for themselves, which now out$iders exploit and enjoy with out any acknowledgment to its creators.
Providence Community Library will be screening 80 Blocks for FREE tomorrow (Friday, November 19th) 7pm at the Knight Memorial Library, 275 Elmwood Avenue in Providence, RI!
DSR era: Crazy Joe 3/21/1986 Louie-Herk-Apache 3/30/1992 Lil Outlaw 9/7/ 1993 Apache 9/23/1987 Marine 9/21/1986 Jamal, Horse, Baby Huey-All RIP
DSR rides his Harley, and still talks slow (after all he grew up on Reservations where life, and speech, is SLOW, and came to NYC when he was 15. It was not because of his coma, and he never got high on any substance) He retired from the Savage Nomads 9/11/1987. Also, he cannot believe the cult-like following and success of 80 Blocks.
@obadboystanley i grew up when this and hell yeah it was i dont love violence but the violence made it looked cool and the graffiti i used to tag up and i used to chill with fly he was word on the neighborhood cuz back then if you did something cool or bad you were the word on the whole neighborhood no cell phones or aim needed lmfao
@WAKEUPshift111 that's real talk...by the time this came out most gangs were all but gone...the nomads and the skulls weren't as strong as they were 7 years prior
Yes, even the uneducated of that time appeared to be way more articulate than knuckleheads of today. These days they try to sound damn near illiterate on purpose and proud of it!
@Nyclassic2006 Dude you are so right. These guys spoke clear and they were from the poorest neighborhoods??? The Public school system must have worked up to a moment.
@Nyclassic2006 Your absolutely right cuz..And I think it becuz back then.You had to learn fast and move fast.During that period of the 70s and early 80s.older folks use to think street kids and especially Rappers/MCs,DJs and such.That They were dumb or some shit.But found out quickly They were rather intelligent.Their educational accumen for being street wise and creative was impeckable.1st off not having money,resources,options,Love of Mom n Dad.Thats pretty damn amazing.
@RichyJA well if u let ppl who lived back then tell u, they'd say this generation is the worst and we have no respect but if u look at the murder numbers city by city, the 1970's was prolly one of the most violent eras in american history.....cities like houston and atlanta averaged well over 700 murders a year thru out the 70's
there was a cat here in queens, ( an old school cat ) i wanted to ask him about the bronx and the Chigalings, but he is sick now,,,,,, but i do find this history very intersting,
i was in the bronx in the 80's and i remember seeing biker dudes around, and i always found it interesting
This is what the fuck Im talking about...nowadays you got mothafuckaz claiming to be bloods n crips in NY....What happened to these gangs?? No tradition passed down? I was born in chicago but raised in NY....I know what the deal is when it comes to holding down the hood.
This is the East Morrisania section of the South Bronx the neighborhood loooks diffrent but its still bad but not as much as this time.... Its still crazy out there
I get MAD GOOSEBUMPS hearing this Salsa beat and watching the opening scene with the Statue of Liberty and the WTC (RIP) with downtown Manhattan in the background... NYC 4ever !!!
Been here almost 17yrs, I barely get by but still get the most intense feeling walking its streets...
Great Documentary-Devils Rebels,ChingaLing nomads,Wheels of Soul,Savage Skulls ,Savage Nomads are still around today in the Bronx,California,Philly,Virginia,jersey.
Hip Hop could NEVER, ever have started in San Francisco, the bay area, believe that. And I'm from San Francisco. (Hayes Valley then later on Mission district early 70s and throughout) Peace.
if you want to see another good documentary about gangs in early 80s my freind put one about mexican gangs in east oakland california just look up children of violence 1982 it's hella cool ....
daaaam hella old school i remember seeing this documentary back in the early 80s i think on pbs this is a cool documentary whats the name of the salsa song at the begining and whos the artist nice track 1 love from east oakland califaz ....
Savage Nomads and Savage Skulls,Dirty Ones,Devils Rebels, are still around today in New York..CHingaling Nomads are In the Bronx,but there a 1% Biker Club Now!!
not true at all. even though gangsta rap is popular right now, it's not the only side rap has to offer. look up some rap songs on youtube by groups like tribe called quest, jungle brothers, de la soul, public enemy, black star, etc. you'll see what i'm talking about.
Whether if it's gangsta rap music of snap music, neither one of them fully represents what hip-hop is entirely about. All of them (conscious rap included) are just mere components that make up the whole hip-hop family tree.
There were all kinds of rap before the so called 'gangsta' rap and I still say the one who was saying it that got it known the world over is Just-Ice way before Ice-T or NWA.
WOW-this is great. I have a film coming out that deals with FEMALE GANGS in the bronx that spans the years of 1980 to present. type in SURRENDER directed by Damian Bailey and you will see scenes from the movie. This is great.
Nowadays gangs are worthless. Back when I was in JHS older guys would take money from kids and they never did anything unless they were in groups. And now they're not even hard... I heard one guy joined the bloods just because he wants to wear red... Now this shit is a fashion statement? What crap.
back in the 1970s Chicago Gangs had literature, Prayers, laws etc. it was an actual structure. what i dont like is how a west coast thing became a fad. and that shit seeped over to the east during the mid 90s due to alot of the West Coast shit. if you ask me the Coastal Beef was neglected by the same generation thats blood and crippin. becuase theres no doubt in my mind the EAST WON. now how the fuck did NY lose their identity?? they either act like dumb country niggaz or west coast fakers.
I was watching Gang Land on the history channel last night and they had the Satan's Disciples on, so I know exactly what you mean about the Chicago Gangs.
I'd be guessing that was how they managed to stay around even to this day.
Thanks for a bit of knowledge and criticism, GoldenCrane7. I'm not from New York, I'm from the bay area and I grew up in San Francisco throughout the decade of the 70s and I've wondered about that too.

Hip Hop could NEVER, ever have started in San Francisco, the bay area, believe that. And I'm from San Francisco. (Hayes Valley then later on Mission district early 70s and throughout) Peace.

this is how hip-hop in the bronx was created. people wanted an outlet to get away from this life and hip-hop was it.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
thats weird since most hip hop is about violence and has all kinds of cursing in it
drmgrl11 2 years ago
not true at all. even though gangsta rap is popular right now, it's not the only side rap has to offer. look up some rap songs on youtube by groups like tribe called quest, jungle brothers, de la soul, public enemy, black star, etc. you'll see what i'm talking about.
wreckords 2 years ago
gangsta rap isn't popular right now, that snap music is popular now...
Izakokomarixyz 2 years ago
Whether if it's gangsta rap music of snap music, neither one of them fully represents what hip-hop is entirely about. All of them (conscious rap included) are just mere components that make up the whole hip-hop family tree.
wreckords 2 years ago 2
Yep... Agree
Izakokomarixyz 2 years ago
There were all kinds of rap before the so called 'gangsta' rap and I still say the one who was saying it that got it known the world over is Just-Ice way before Ice-T or NWA.

Some are still alive. Like Fly, India, Blacky, DSR, and a few others.

DSR's scrap book is up on a forum website. I'm reading through it now. It's all news articles from the times. It's pretty hard stuff.

Yeah man I saw the scrapbook. I didnt get a chance to read all the articles, but was sum good stuff.
kzfive 3 years ago
Yeah, I had no idea the Skulls were so vicious. They were really over the top. I wish there were more info on the Brooklyn gangs though.
ElectricHawk 3 years ago
There were some BK gang articles. Like the Devil's Rebels.
Those were some scary days back then. I grew up as a kid of the 70's. In my hood the 1 gang we had looked out for us kids.
kzfive 3 years ago
Nowadays gangs are worthless. Back when I was in JHS older guys would take money from kids and they never did anything unless they were in groups. And now they're not even hard... I heard one guy joined the bloods just because he wants to wear red... Now this shit is a fashion statement? What crap.
ElectricHawk 3 years ago
Yeah man, I agree with you on that.

back in the 1970s Chicago Gangs had literature, Prayers, laws etc. it was an actual structure. what i dont like is how a west coast thing became a fad. and that shit seeped over to the east during the mid 90s due to alot of the West Coast shit. if you ask me the Coastal Beef was neglected by the same generation thats blood and crippin. becuase theres no doubt in my mind the EAST WON. now how the fuck did NY lose their identity?? they either act like dumb country niggaz or west coast fakers.

I was watching Gang Land on the history channel last night and they had the Satan's Disciples on, so I know exactly what you mean about the Chicago Gangs.
I'd be guessing that was how they managed to stay around even to this day.
ElectricHawk 3 years ago
Thanks for a bit of knowledge and criticism, GoldenCrane7. I'm not from New York, I'm from the bay area and I grew up in San Francisco throughout the decade of the 70s and I've wondered about that too.
