@@reggiekaz4147 ... Nah, im from BROOKLYN, but me and my crew use to always travel to HARLEM and hang out in Harlem all threw the 90's . 125Tth st use to be the SPOT !!!!!!, especially by the Apollo theater
@@entertainingsportshighligh7525 aiight cool. Always wanted to hang out in New York just to marry a fine Puerto Rican lady from east harlem or a redbone black American woman . But I think a Puerto Rican would have accepted my culture more
This is so wild to see. I was turning 18 around this time and to hear the young people of that time talk about listening to real R&B artists and not just rappers is amazing. Different times!
U are blessed to be in that era how was growing up just hearing about a tribe called quest, biggie, pac, naught by nature and all the others on the radio and on tv
When those weekly festivities that led to Grants Tomb ceased that final Summer the energy in Harlem began to wither as did all of the African American owned businesses in Harlem. Old Harlem will live on in our hearts & memories forever.
@@johanmassy5290 I only discovered Harlem as an adult in college. But by that time (early '90s) it had really become commercialized and plastic. Honestly it felt dead. A few historically significant landmarks here and there, but the SOUL was gone. I would LOVE to hear more stories like you just told....a festival leading up to Grants Tomb? More Oral History please!
it was alot going on back then but we also had more unity, we're missing that today. can't get a large festivity like that going now without it getting shot up
I know two people with this last name. Neither are related. The rapper Davido has the same last name as well. Must be common. I prolly was there at this time. I frequented Harlem around this time although I lived in Brooklyn. Wow! Great memories.
But you had family & love that made sure you were safe & fed. It takes a lot to make it into adulthood as a child growing up in NYCHA; i say so as a Polo Grounds native.
@@ssherrierable I miss the millions of natives who were wiped out for land, millions of dark shade people who were wiped out and some kidnapped to toil the land, and millions of light shade people wiped out in a race to conquer land, wipe out natives, fraudulently identify themselves as the same natives they wiped out in the Americas, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, etc., and now they're carrying out the phase of occupation as part of their plan for world domination. These same light shade usurpers believe they can be moral judges. Miss me with that!
@@gravyguns blah blah blah. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and make a difference than. Ppl that cry race card all the time just show how weak minded they are.
@@ssherrierable Based on your response, you obviously support crime that suits your agenda and benefits you. You're as much as a moral judge as any criminal. Blah, blah blah that, you opportunistic criminal.
