This is the NYC and the music of my preteen years..I was 9 when this was filmed. I love the older Ny. it was gritty,raw and real. Now it's just like a giant shopping mall..
That Wendy's at 9:56 is on queens blvd and is also where the movie coming to America was filmed and used as McDowell's. That wendys is also no longer their. I wish you had the whole ride down queens blvd
I'd love to see the whole ride with no skipping whatsoever - this is an amazing trip back in time to the last days of NY before the gentrification really set in with some damn good period hip hop on the radio in the background - fits the city like a glove. Speaking of movies, I got some real "Leon The Professional" vibes from the street scenes. Movie was filmed right around the time this footage was shot.
Tracks in this video (that I and a friend could ID, at least): Leaders of the New School - What's Next? Lords Of The Underground - Chief Rocka Wu Tang Clan - Protect Ya Neck Burro Banton - Boomwadis [Hip Hop] Tha Alkaholiks - Make Room 2Pac - I Get Around Casual - That's How It Is Great footage of NY before it became the gray soulless gentrified Disneyland that it is now, especially the street shots from 5:35 on.
it became a billionaires ghost city and monopilised the skylines is completely disfigured with pencil like apartment towers which are 200m$ each , the real new york will allways be the pre 9 11 , it became a strange place visited by influencers of instagram and hipsters and tech snobs
I was born in Oct 7, '80, i was 12 going to 13, dam i feel old! lol. The 90s, when everything was old fashioned, no FB, no social media, no 🍎 📱 and Android, very very very few people had cell phones but they were like bricks
Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it....
