The buildings in this video are some gangsta mothafuckaz. 1 Hanson Place - that place is gangsta as fuck. Brooklyn do go hard, socially and physically in the environment wise.I used to in the 5 boros, niggaz/bitches.
I’m virtually paralyzed by the intense feelings of nostalgia this elicits from by childhood. Born and raised in BK in the early 80s and still here, this is the music I grew up on in the 90s. Chairman Mao (the DJ—you can Google him) made a mix tape for me; Crooklyn was one of my favorite tracks on it. This was before DUMBO was overtaken by wealth, before the towers were gone, before TImes Square was prostituted to giant corporations, before police were positioned on the Brooklyn Bridge, before anyone cared about Williamsburg, when the RR train ran, when the original Pier 17 was there, when Brooklyn Bridge Park was just a bunch of warehouses, when the Williamsburg Savings Bank was still a bank and people didn’t live in it, when the Beat Street and Music Factory on Fulton Street competed for album signings, when music was non-disposable and you salivated for releases and didn’t forget about what you listened to yesterday on iTunes or Spotify. I could go on and on. I’m not saying today is wrong. I guess I’m just getting old and longing for some of the way things used to be.
Who else gets goosebumps? EVERY TIME it goes ...BROOKLYN WINS !!! BROOKLYN WINS !!!! BROOKLYN WINS !!!!. well I do ..Everytime and I first did over 20 years ago now...dang

That “Scratching” on the intro is dope! That’s one thing that I DEFINITELY thought would all’s be a part of Hip Hop!
