80 Blocks from tiffany's (4/8)

This 1979 documentary film focuses on gangs such as the savage skulls & nomads who occupied areas of the South Bronx. Perhaps even more compelling is considering that the backdrop and social conditions in this film are a 'far cry' from the lifestyle being promoted through disco music and film. Perhaps this answers questions to why many people took preference over the funk records which arguably pathed the way for Hip Hop culture.

Word? When/how did they die? Who else feature in this documentary is no longer with us. Its been 30 years after all........I wonder if any of them survived the "Crack Wars" during the 1980's. Late '70's......its like the calm before the storm.

Really where did u here that? I just heard that somebody thinks they saw Fly on a subway; singing playing the guitar for spair change.. there's a YT vid of it somewhere.

Did he mention anyone else who's dead and/or locked up? I'd read that Fly killed two girls by pushing them down an elevator shaft or some shit...crazy.
