bronx 

[PhuckHue2]

late 70's early 80's the Bronx looked like a bomb hit it. the landlords were burning up their buildings for the insurance money.

[gallo305]

[nycricanpapi]

Many people tend to forget that Hip Hop was created by Puerto Ricans and African americans in the South Bronx.

[Khultan]

C'mon, show the days before Fat Joe and KRS-ONE. Show the NYC kids when they were the ones holding it down.

[imtoolovely]

[MrMorningside125]

1460 bronx river ave. all day. zulu nation and bambatta

[Warioda]

Used by Dilla?? with Common spittin' Tell me If I'm wrong..."the movement" ???

[sidneymat]

The boogie down bronx, birthplace of hip-hop the best music genre of all time without a doubt. The struggle in the bronx in the 1970s was the birth of hip hop, every cloud has a silver lining and all that shit

[BertusopdeNorton]

U bet Homey,BDB  Man Parrish Fkin Basic Old Skool Hip Hop.

Essential!!

Like n ABC in Hip Hop,Man Parrish,was 1 of those Basic parts.

[KAISERKRAUT]

That's Good Shit.

[laderabrown123]

all about dem niggz from BRONX.bby....JENNIFER LOPEZ,FAT JOE,BIG PUN.... PUERTO RICO bby

[nycricanpapi]

@laderabrown123 Fat Joe is a sell out. He moved to miami and was putting the bronx down. He said he wont live in the bronx any more because is dirty when the bronx is where he gain his reputation as a rapper.

[MotorCityPlayer]

@nycricanpapi Umm, I am from Detroit, but I lived in NYC for 2 years (Harlem). I took a few trips up to the Bronx (4 train i think) and iam sorry, but Fat Joe is right. The bronx is VERY dirty, and Iam from Detroit, and Detroit is a filthy city...but nothing like the Bronx. Even while in Harlem, I seen people throwing trash in the streets all the time. My apartment window overlooked a rooftop, which other tenants above would throw EVERYTHING out their Apt. windows on to the roof. PIGS.

[nycricanpapi]

@MotorCityPlayer Fuck u! Fat joe is a sellout thats what he is. The hip hop that u listen to was born in the bronx. So if it wasnt for the bronx probably this rap shit wont be going on... so stop talking shit. Also the bronx have the largest metropolitan zoo in the whole USA. So don't even go there. We have so many great things. Harlem is similar to the bronx.... Just that Harlem is just a neighborhood of Manhattan and the bronx is a city of NY.

[MotorCityPlayer]

@nycricanpapi Dont be mad at me "papi" . iam only calling it how I see it. You have a zoo..wow. So do most larger metro areas. I dont know what you mean by the Bronx being soo tight..,if you look at all the pictures in this video, all of the buildings are condemed or in horrible condition. Other than Queens, I didnt see ANY homes. Only Apartments. Everyone rents there. No thanks, I'll stay my ass in Detroit.

[nycricanpapi]

@MotorCityPlayer You stated that you had lived in Harlem for 2 years which is that a lie. If you had live in Harlem for 2 years you will know that in NYC there are houses... So I caught u lying. We have a zoo which is the biggest metropolitan zoo from the United States. Stay in Detroit we dont need your ass nor haters....

[MotorCityPlayer]

@nycricanpapi Yea papi. I "lied"...right. If you read what I wrote AGAIN, I never said that there were NO homes in NYC, I said I didnt see any in the other burroughs besides QUEENS. You keep carrying on about your stupid ZOO. No ones cares..So, you have a zoo. Wow, Iam impressed!! "Hey everyone the Bronx has the LARGEST Zoo in the Whole universe! Super duper!! sorry papi, but I dont rate a city on their zoo, so you'd better tell me something else the bronx is noticed for..

[nycricanpapi]

@MotorCityPlayer The bronx is known for Hip Hop Yankees and many more things.... And for ur info. The Bronx is not as it used to be. It is much cleaner.

[MotorCityPlayer]

@nycricanpapi And dont worry...I wont be returning. I'll stay my ass in my clean suburb. Lush green trees, grass,bushes, etc...and you can sit in the Bronx and stare at everyone hanging out their apartment windows , sidewalks with trash on them, and grafitti filled walls...no thanks!

[nycricanpapi]

@MotorCityPlayer Yeah stay in ur country ass city listening to country music. You are a hill billy

[bg201]

@nycricanpapi lmaoooooo!!!...BX ALL DAY :)

[nycricanpapi]

@MotorCityPlayer also thats NYC for ya and if u dont like it. Then dont come to NYC... Cuz in case if u forgot we are the best city of the world.

[unseenson1]
