My 1st time seeing the infamous Young Boys Incorporated (Y.B.I.) on the 4th of July, 1982 on Dexter Ave. Limousines, Mopeds, Gold Chains, Adidas, Campaign Hats, Army fatigues, & loud music. That’s what I remember.
ill never forget the patent leather Top10's, and when it got cold YBI was famous for the Max Julian jackets with the fur on the hood, and Kangaroo boots with the pickets on them. i grew up on 7 mile and Ryan and used to ride the city bus to Osborne HS. ill never forget the summer of 1982 hearing Run DMC its like that, and planet rock booming in cars on 7 mile
Me and you bout the same age and I'm from the Eastside Mack and Van Dyke and i remember hearing about YBI back then. I actually had some family over that way near Dexter that we visited a couple times for the holidays in the summer and man it was a certain swag about them cats from that hood, it was a certain mystique about that whole area Dexter, Linwood, 12th Street, Hamilton, Woodrow Wilson, and Highland Park that just stood out from the rest of Detroit. Them was the good old days in The D man!
I remember in (83) my girl and I were at the Shorecrest Motor Inn where the (Ciique) restaurant is and I get a knock at my second floor door and when I opened it I’ll never forget there was a young man with a brown leather Max Julian hooded jacket with the fur, Top 10 high top Adidas, blue jeans, the straw flattop (campaign) hat and a white adidas blue logo t-shirt and evidently he must’ve knocked on the wrong door to deliver a package, when i appeared to not know who he was or what he thought I ordered he realized he was at the wrong door and left with no problem. I never forget that! Only Donna Sac leather store at the Northland mall sold those leathers and they were top quality leather and expensive. 💴 up there along with Pelle Pelle by Marc
Thanks for chiming in everyone. It’s important that Detroit citizens tell the Detroit stories. These stories are ours. This is OUR history & the events that shaped our lives & community. Peace & love to my city & the wonderful people in it 💯💯💯
Much respect but people need to understand the biggest were Chambers bros new jack city but it didn't stop with them I married bj neace in Arkansas and the game changed but it kept going they still has big presence in pine bluff Arkansas were alot of drug kingpins are from just watch movie Arkansas
@@dannydavis5550 I wouldn’t argue that but I’m just talking about what I saw. I only saw Chambers Bros on TV. I saw YBI in real life. I got my 2nd YBI story coming soon. Thanks for watching my story 💯💯💯
@@djkingdavid313 I'm more than welcome to give you some gems 💎 on the chambers organization even after they went down you Detroit so you should cover it
I grew up on ELMHURST, one block from DEXTER AVE. ....... "FREAK OF THE WEEK" booming from a sweet Azz RV, riding up and down Monterey, Richton, Duane, ect ... YBI was in FULL EFFECT and it was REAL 😉
I was in the eleventh grade going to NorthEastern growing up on the east side hanging out in Highland Park as a teen got cool with some of those cats through my peeps those was the days.
I remember they all went to Cedar Point in the vets I was a kid and sick I couldn'tgo cause my parents went it was they anniversary and left me and little brother home with my grandma I cried like a baby lol
They was able to get the cars because of Sylvester Steel Murray was a car broker. He also work part-time at a dealership which I don’t want to name. When they started really making money he open up a used car dealership
I was watching an I knew WW B skitter Butch Ray timmie Block out in 82 riding my Red and Yellow Schwinn saying HookDown 5.0 Ww got killed right after the story he talkin about
