@breezwonder TAKI 183 threw in an element of Hip Hop which is graffiti and he's Greek. Tracy 168 was on the side who created wildstyle graffiti and he wasn't Black either. Therefore, Blacks weren't the only ones that created Hip Hop Culture.
@STBNY Maybe you did not read the comment correctly. Blacks are the creators of Hip Hop. Hispanics and came later to give contributions such as graffitti that has been incorperated into the culture.
@breezwonder Again....Blacks weren't the only ones who created Hip Hop. That culture is made up of 4 elements. And on of those elements were created by a Greek graffiti writer named DemeTAKI and an Irish-Italian-Puerto Rican wildstyle graffiti artist named Michael C. TRACY.
It's not Hip Hop without the 4 elements. And about the music, its called rap, not Hip Hop. Everyone gets that wrong especially Hot 97 and Power 105. Most rappers today don't even know what Hip Hop is.
And to the people that blame the residents for "burning down their own neighborhoods", most of those burn jobs were done by the owners for the insurance. Many innocent tenants were killed in their beds while SOMEONE walked away with lots of money. Learn about the history of the people you criticize and you'll see that "little" people are always the target of greed.
I grew up in Brooklyn. I MISS this. Even though it was rundown and hard to survive, we had our families and friends. Old timers there for decades. Now everyone is being pushed out by yuppies and hipsters. The people that come here claim to love NY. They hate what it really was and changed it to suit them and their rich friends. Ordinary poor and working people, artists, musicians, etc. were driven out. I'm the last of my family left that didn't let myself be harassed out by the landlords.
@mindstormsabrewin Er, hello, you ALSO hate what NY "really was" before -- ie the NY that existed before the verminous nigger animals descended on it and "changed it" (ie ruined it for whites) to suit themselves. Got it?
@dukee155 Don't believe the hype. NYC is just as crime ridden now as back then. Only it gets swept up under the rug. No need to scare off the tourists and upper crusties by telling them the truth about their new surroundings. Walk around, even in the "safe" neighborhoods, and you'll see the predators watching. I grew up here so I see them. The oblivious bridge and tunnel crowd come to party with pockets full of cash. The creeps are always there watching them. If on your way to NYC, stay alert.
Damn Respect!!thats impressive, I luv hip-hop and find it amazing how people in such bad livin' conditions created a culture thats worlwide 2day, so this is where it all started...South Bronx...It does look really bad and grimey, with those big ass brokin' down projects, by the way look more like crackhouses or abandoned buildings..
There are parts of this video from MAD movies too.,, but ALL in the BRONX!! (Beat Street... Fort Apache, The Bronx) etc.... I'm thinking London sure as HELL don't look like this!!!
Only some indoor scenes from the movie Wolfen was London. But when you see the streets (llike the video above), its definitely The Bronx. I only pointed out at the Bronx area and neither of the parts of the video is from London so you're right. There's a very very tad bit of Queens and Manhattan, just to show the spread of the movement.

@MrSyrett The "tsunami" was called rent control, disastrous public housing, and a NYC budget that tripled from the 1960's to the late 70's. Mix that with the Recession, and you get a perfect storm.
At around 5:20 it shows an aerial shot of a few blocks that have been mostly demolished, with the remnant skeleton of a church in the middle. Does anyone know what church that was or what part of the Bronx that was in?
Thank Goodness few spots look like this anymore in the Bronx. The 80s were a mix of IDGAF attitude on both the part of the residents, drug dealers, thugs, cops, and city and state officials. But like a Phoenix the Bronx is rising from the ashes...But sadly It's gentrifying like a mofug and now that's it's beautiful/improving few can afford the ridiculous 1400 month rent in a run down tenement. True Bronxities stayed faithful throught the bad times and can't even stay now....smh!
@Reinarei It's like that all over the city and they are doing it to kick or keep people out but they are losing money. They were trying to sell a $100,000 condo in East NY which is still considered the worst neighborhood in NYC with the murder rate slowly rising back up each year. Like why the fuck would I pay $100,000 or $1200+ on rent to live in a hell hole? This shit is gonna end up hurting the city. Bloomberg is an asshole mayor.
To me what's more shocking than all the trash lying around is the architecture. Plane brick boxes. Historical buildings with no ornaments, all flat roofs. The entire area looks like it was designed to be a prison. It's appalling.
There's not many bad areas of nyc today, most of nyc is gentrified, condos in the bronx/harlem, vacation resorts etc. I'd say the worse areas left in nyc are brownsville brooklyn and jamaica queens.

@mikethaironlung This is a quote from Alan Ginsburg's Howl part 2. If you can't see how it corresponds to the 1970s-80s South Bronx urban decay and the evil forces promoting then you just IGNANT.
This is where the oligarchs housed their vast armies of dispensable slaves to run their widget factories until they found out they could exploit child slaves across the world 110 hrs/week for ignorant, blind consumers in Mid-Town & the Jersey burbs for 1/10 of the price. Then all the children of the factory slaves & the incoming waves of refugees from Jim Crow south had only caves & hovels to call home, before Fat Cat realized he could collect an insurance policy by torching old slave barracks.
@chchedda and anther thing is that all those building you see,are way gone a few around but looks alot diffrent...nyc has chage aot from back then , as far as looking like a war state....
These clips are an example of wasted opportunity. By the mid 1980's, there was no end to the abandoned buildings and empty lots that the city was desperate to be rid of. The buildings could've been given to homesteaders, and the lots could've become community gardens and farms.
Instead, today we have disgusting housing projects where nobody wants to live, and expensive buildings where nobody can afford to rent.
@liberatedvialove Death Wish 3 was filmed in the East New York neighbourhood of Brooklyn. The first Death Wish is all set in Manhattan, alot of it around the Riverside Park area.
@jurasino5 check it on google you stupid twat, why would I lie? death wish 3, parts filmed in london, england, graffiti done by Brim whilst he was out here visiting Goldie and painting around the uk.
@mista13er which movie? as far as i know there are lotsa movies in the description and i've seen some of them and they were filmed in south bronx. and this video shows south bronx locations, moron
i don't care what anyone said, born and raise in the south bronx since the 60's this is a reminder of what it used to be. maybe not the clip from the movie Fort Apache the Bronx, but everything from the burned buildings and the high crime was so very true. in a creepy way i miss these days. it remndeds me of the saying ..Its the Bronx and nly the strong can survive.
LOL, I always knew as a white girl from NYC area growing up that if I accidentally got on a train and somehow ended up here, I was in seriously deep shit.
@MsMaggieOC Well. I must say that in those days the American ghettoes had a very bad rep here in Europe (at least here in the Netherlands in my immediate circle): "get off on the wrong station in New York.. and you're dead. Walk into the wrong street: you're dead !"
@AmersfoortTristan LOL. They were telling you that because it was true! Some Vanilla European's with Netherlands cash to burn (NYC is not cheap), you get off the wrong stop during that time and you'd feel lucky to escape with just being mugged. These slums looked and felt like warzones, you would be afraid just being in the train stations. I was back home a few years ago and forgot how hellish the train stations are. I came back home and said to myself "wow, I come from a nightmarish dump"
@MsMaggieOC Haha. Well.. I am very lucky that I have never travelled to New York (or to the U.S. in general) How is the situation now ? Has it improved a bit or ?
@AmersfoortTristan Well, when Guilianni got in, he cleaned up NYC a lot. no more sex shops and peep shows on every corner, I did always wonder what he did with all the homeless people though, maybe they rounded them up on a ship and sunk it in the middle of teh Atlantic or something. they demolished most of the "projects", and the slums are generally not as dangerous anymore. I can't really say for cerain areas, bcuz I haven't been in a while. But home is still generally shitholey.
@MsMaggieOC This is a myth. Dinkins had more to do with actually cleaning up the city than Giuliani did. The policies, contracts with Disney for Times Square, etc. etc. were all done during the Dinkins administration. Then Giuliani got in and rode the wave of a good economy during the rise of the internet.
Guiliani is a putz, and anyone who lived in this city under his rein knows this.
@shalcall I know he is. I despised Guillani back then and I still do today. I don't remember Dinkins cleaning things up, maybe a lot of demolishion of projects went on under him, but I only remember things really changing under Guiliani. Suddenly it became more of a police state...911 would happen while he was in..
thats style wars there were no white people south of crotona park after 1965 till present day blacks cubans dominicans and puerto ricans....they forgot to show the naked prostitutes and addicts shooting eachother up with syringes in the streets....
times back then were hardcore but we had so much fun we didn't think about being so poor back then just having fun and getting thrue the day those were the days.
This is Wuf Ticket's "The Key (Dub Mix)" to be exact. Solid funk!!! Honestly, I'd play this video for no other reason than to listen to this 70's funk gem!!!
excuse that is. learn who you are and build your self up and stick your chest out and have pride. knowledge is power, power to make your self strong and noone can put you on that mental cross. destroy you spirit and trance on you.
the traps i fell in were for a purpose for me to uncover the remedy to the traps, i tell you this because you cant t let money cars riches define who you are. You define your self and make your self who you are not what they tell you who you are. forget about your past but dont forget and remind youself where you could be if you let your friends drag you down pick your slef up. true knowledge is within if you cant read find the truth in videos you can hear right. there is no escuse.
why i say this why a talk about ghetto mentalities, becuase people drag you down in your old hood. this is why I went forward never forgot the suffering there the hunger death poverty. to much negative energy at one time i wanted to wipe out all the haters destroy them all but i walked away changed my life but never forgot. my heart is in the south bronx but i was recieved well where i live now. I came out of nothing money never made me who i am and never will break me.
Growing in this area of the bronx ok, there was unity we were family in my old neighborhood. The neighbors would watch over the children as we played it did not matter whether you were puertorican black dominican etc. we were family. Drugs changed all that. we grew up together and watch many of our child hood freinds die violent deaths. as i got older hatred took seige. Never forgot where i came from but i knew in order for me to forward i had to leave.
today's generation of youth have it all, and don't know shit of what is it to have fun with out having expensive stuff. I am proud to be from nyc and growing up in the 70's 80's into the 90's/ for those who grew up in that era and your still alive. respect goes out to you, cuz as we know....them times had mad crime, but we found a way to avoid it and just enjoy our childhood. i will never take it back. I had such a great time. music was great, family, hip hop grafitti etc. when nyc had flavor.
Well no doubt that the Bronx literally was burning back in the times like the late 60's to early 80's. If the streets were already that bad at that time, is it even much, much worse in housing projects in South Bronx. (By the way, I live right across Pomonok housing projects and I'm actually steering clear of that place as there is a surge in gun violence and gang recently.)
THE 80s THAT WAS A TIME WHERE THERE WAS NO HOMOSEXUALITY OPEN IT WAS SAFE TO BE MAN NOT LIKE TODAY WHERE MAN SHAVE THERE EYE BROWS PIRCE BOTH EARS AND PUT ERINGS ON BOTH EARS LIKE FAG AND DRESS LIKE A WOMAN WHAT A WEAK IMAGE OF TODAYS MAN SAD
@cojay28 THOES WHERE THE TIMES TO BE A LIFE AND FEEL SAVE AND GREAT A MAGICAL TIME IN A MOMENT IN TIME VERY SPECIAL TIME IN HISTORY I GIVE ANYTHING TO GO BACK IN TIME AND LIVE AGAIN IN THE 80S WOW
Even though things are better now..there is still a glimpse of what it looked like .if you go out at night in the south bronx you'll know what im talking about. cuz i still see crackheads and bums asking for change in every corner.
wow its amazing to see what it looked like. Then to see it today on google maps, what a big diff. I have never been to new york or the bronx. I would love visit it. why was it so burnt up? There was so much ruble. when did they clean it up? New York just seems so fascinating .
NY was a nasty place back then. It wasn't all about block parties and bombing trains, more like seeing your loved ones fuck themselves up with crack and getting beaten down by the cops. There's nothing glamorous about living in a slum and although it's still a struggle today things are a lot better than they used to be.
i was born in 1991 but i'll even say most hip-hop (specifically the u.s and england) music nowadays has such technical help i.e. tablets laptops blackberry's that even if you creat a banging tune respected by both mainstream and underground...it's nowhere near as personally achieved as a it was in these days...it was a real expression for almost no profit at all...but now its hard to find a real mc ready to spit for the sake of it
This is how Detroit has looked for a long time and everyone keeps going on about how it will be rebuilt. I never believe that heap will ever be brought back, but if everyone insists that these New York ghettos have been rebuilt you never know.
Check out the teaser trailer to the new show coming out called "UPTOWN" about Washington Heights in the 80's. You want the real truth? Well now you will get your chance to see it all. Also visit uptownseries(dot)com
I dont't care where the clips came from. The is very well put together. I am not from NY, but the Bronx always fascinated me and this video is awesome.
aww I miss New York now I'm living in corny ass West palm beach, Florida

i don't care what anyone said, born and raise in the south bronx since the 60's this is a reminder of what it used to be. maybe not the clip from the movie Fort Apache the Bronx, but everything from the burned buildings and the high crime was so very true. in a creepy way i miss these days. it remndeds me of the saying ..Its the Bronx and nly the strong can survive.

As a native of the South Bronx, it's good to see what it used to be before, and now it's becoming a thriving borough with new buildings. :)

@MsMaggieOC Well. I must say that in those days the American ghettoes had a very bad rep here in Europe (at least here in the Netherlands in my immediate circle): "get off on the wrong station in New York.. and you're dead. Walk into the wrong street: you're dead !"
AmersfoortTristan 3 months ago
@AmersfoortTristan LOL. They were telling you that because it was true! Some Vanilla European's with Netherlands cash to burn (NYC is not cheap), you get off the wrong stop during that time and you'd feel lucky to escape with just being mugged. These slums looked and felt like warzones, you would be afraid just being in the train stations. I was back home a few years ago and forgot how hellish the train stations are. I came back home and said to myself "wow, I come from a nightmarish dump"
MsMaggieOC 3 months ago
@MsMaggieOC Haha. Well.. I am very lucky that I have never travelled to New York (or to the U.S. in general) How is the situation now ? Has it improved a bit or ?

@AmersfoortTristan Well, when Guilianni got in, he cleaned up NYC a lot. no more sex shops and peep shows on every corner, I did always wonder what he did with all the homeless people though, maybe they rounded them up on a ship and sunk it in the middle of teh Atlantic or something. they demolished most of the "projects", and the slums are generally not as dangerous anymore. I can't really say for cerain areas, bcuz I haven't been in a while. But home is still generally shitholey.
MsMaggieOC 3 months ago
@MsMaggieOC This is a myth. Dinkins had more to do with actually cleaning up the city than Giuliani did. The policies, contracts with Disney for Times Square, etc. etc. were all done during the Dinkins administration. Then Giuliani got in and rode the wave of a good economy during the rise of the internet.
Guiliani is a putz, and anyone who lived in this city under his rein knows this.
shalcall 3 months ago
@shalcall I know he is. I despised Guillani back then and I still do today. I don't remember Dinkins cleaning things up, maybe a lot of demolishion of projects went on under him, but I only remember things really changing under Guiliani. Suddenly it became more of a police state...911 would happen while he was in..

excuse that is. learn who you are and build your self up and stick your chest out and have pride. knowledge is power, power to make your self strong and noone can put you on that mental cross. destroy you spirit and trance on you.

the traps i fell in were for a purpose for me to uncover the remedy to the traps, i tell you this because you cant t let money cars riches define who you are. You define your self and make your self who you are not what they tell you who you are. forget about your past but dont forget and remind youself where you could be if you let your friends drag you down pick your slef up. true knowledge is within if you cant read find the truth in videos you can hear right. there is no escuse.

why i say this why a talk about ghetto mentalities, becuase people drag you down in your old hood. this is why I went forward never forgot the suffering there the hunger death poverty. to much negative energy at one time i wanted to wipe out all the haters destroy them all but i walked away changed my life but never forgot. my heart is in the south bronx but i was recieved well where i live now. I came out of nothing money never made me who i am and never will break me.

Growing in this area of the bronx ok, there was unity we were family in my old neighborhood. The neighbors would watch over the children as we played it did not matter whether you were puertorican black dominican etc. we were family. Drugs changed all that. we grew up together and watch many of our child hood freinds die violent deaths. as i got older hatred took seige. Never forgot where i came from but i knew in order for me to forward i had to leave.

I am proud to be from nyc and growing up in the 70's 80's into the 90's/ for those who grew up in that era and your still alive. respect goes out to you, cuz as we know....them times had mad crime, but we found a way to avoid it and just enjoy our childhood. i will never take it back. I had such a great time. music was great, family, hip hop grafitti etc. when nyc had flavor.

People were much more respectful back in the days when you
could get your ass beat for any disrespect. When all the laws
came protecting people thats when people became rude and
disrespectful......These days here was when you had to watch
yourself. Thats how its supposed to be if you ask me.

Well no doubt that the Bronx literally was burning back in the times like the late 60's to early 80's. If the streets were already that bad at that time, is it even much, much worse in housing projects in South Bronx. (By the way, I live right across Pomonok housing projects and I'm actually steering clear of that place as there is a surge in gun violence and gang recently.)

NY was a nasty place back then. It wasn't all about block parties and bombing trains, more like seeing your loved ones fuck themselves up with crack and getting beaten down by the cops. There's nothing glamorous about living in a slum and although it's still a struggle today things are a lot better than they used to be.

i was born in 1991 but i'll even say most hip-hop (specifically the u.s and england) music nowadays has such technical help i.e. tablets laptops blackberry's that even if you creat a banging tune respected by both mainstream and underground...it's nowhere near as personally achieved as a it was in these days...it was a real expression for almost no profit at all...but now its hard to find a real mc ready to spit for the sake of it

This is how Detroit has looked for a long time and everyone keeps going on about how it will be rebuilt. I never believe that heap will ever be brought back, but if everyone insists that these New York ghettos have been rebuilt you never know.
