The 80's were the best for rap and hip hop. Straight raw talent. Great lyrics with meaning and beats that just got into your blood. I miss those days and rap/hip-hop today is a joke...it dont even compare.
I was a nappy head young buck 28th and Somerset North Philly kid. We was young and would be all over the place riding bikes, I was 5 or 6 1979 and our bike club was called Evil eye.....lol. Dam miss these day
This is like a time machine I remember those Newport cigarette signs when I was kid .I remember guys use to try to holla at every woman they see walking down the street and they would get they number and write it on a piece of paper. I remember people use to be walking around trying to sell stuff .I remember those good old days .
Look, ma! The inner city and no stripper-looking twerkers! (Great jump-rope skills!) This precious video captures a moment in time before urban America completely lost its mind.
@@colinhalliley111, lol, yes, he is. That used to be considered a normal and acceptable display of appreciation and respect. Now, American self-hatred is an epidemic that threatens to destroy the nation.
I was a child in 76 but I can remember the bicentennial was a year long event hosting all sorts of fun for all ages. As well the “we the people “ event was at least a week long...Most importantly we had two visits from two different Popes. I was Absolutely Blessed to have been at both mass’s.
@@loadedfun4764 I remember the Bicentennial, too. Wonderful for a country to honor itself. We live now in a crazy time of national self-hatred. I will say this until I have no African American friends left, but one of the worst things America did was to NOT send released slaves back to Africa. True, this would have deprived me of a wonderful life in this wonderful country, but it would have saved the country from the internal strife it is suffering from, and dying from, today.
okay. i did some research. the incense man skit was filmed on 39th and Girard ave. in the front of a (from what i can tell) vacant building. today, it is no longer there. but the neighborhood is STILL the same. whatever happened to the incense man?!!! i really like him. he seems like cool people.
I could tell you all these locations without research. The opening scene w the guys rapping is my block 55th and kingsessing ave. And that incense guy is still around bcuz I know his face. I've seen him all over and now I'm searching for him🤗 to tell him how cool he is 💯
@@markanthonyberry7 I liked seeing my neighborhood in the 80s again also. Although I was a kid in the 80s and still remember it like it was yesterday. We moved out the year crack really got crazy with the JBM around 86-87. My mom said "fuckkkk this" 🤗. We moved to wynnefield, where I saw the fresh prince , cool c , steaby B , est ect everyday. I didnt know any of them but I saw them lol. LOVED being a teen in wynnefield. It was like suburbs for black people. And the girls! Whoaaa man 🤗. After while I started acting like I wasnt from kingsessing 🤣🤣🤣. Started saying "good morning " instead of "what's up". Started calling things by their name instead of "jawn" 🤣
This is just so pure. So nice to remember the time in our lives that no longer exists. Even if for only 20 minutes. Everything was so much more simple. What year is this ? 89-91 ? somewhere in there. I dont see the girls wearing jellies. So that's why I was thinking later 80s.
Wow they were still saying "check it up" in the 80's 😂😂. I grew up in 90's and early 00's and I thought that was just in my generation playing basketball.
That's 54th in kingsessing right arcoss the street from Mitchell in the beginning. And thats in incense man from West Philly he be on 52nd st he still sale incense
ppl were so much different...way more respectful I can see the big contrast between then and now not to say there wasn't crime and hostility at times, but overall, things were more peaceful.
@@perspectiveoutlook1540 Possibly but the Parkside incense and oil part had much later 80s even 1990 vibes. Well........1990 may be a bit of a stretch but also remember, dude in the car that was getting the girls phone number, that was either a Maxima or a Nissan Stanza and they didn't come on the scene until about 87-88 in Philly.
