A day in the Bronx pt2 : A message to the Young Gangbanger (Black Spades 40th Anniversary)

We talk with Hip Hop legend Popmaster Fabel who talks to us about the important role early gang culture played in bringing Hip Hop to life. We also talk about how pop culture is exploiting gang life and leading people astray. Fabel explianed that early Hip Hop got people out of the gangs.. Today's rap music gets people into them..

We hear an impassion Bam Bam, orginal leader of the Black Spades speaking to young gangbamgers in New York, Crips, Bloods, Latin Kings etc and explaining the direction they should really be taking.. powerful words..

@zsdg34 even though i don't live on the east i always wish i did and i think it's an energy that doesn't die out if it's in you. a warrior doesn't stop being one just cause he gets older and though the battle is different some people see the racism evolve but see it still see it for what it is...still racism and i feel you i do but this brotha got that energy and it probably wont die until he does.

These kind of adults and people are parasites to the Bronx.

I hate it when I see a grown man like 50 years old act like a ghetto teenager😒

I'm from the Bronx "concourse village" I know what the hell I'm talking about.

HIP-HOP celebrates life, corporate hip-hop celebrates death and our (Black & Latino) destruction.

Love, respect and compassion is needed in these streets and our communities.
