      Why would Marcy be the most famous? Marcy had Jay, Bleek, Sauce, Jaz-O etc. It's one of many projects in the area (Tompkins, Brevoort, Sumner, LG).
      QB had Shan, Marley Marl, Shante, NAS, MOBB DEEP, Cormega, Tragedy, Capone, Nature etc. Not to mention street legends like Lakey, Worm and D.U.. Ron Artest is from there, too. They were part of rap's first/historical diss records (QB vs South Bronx). Rap's first supergroup (Juice Crew) is from there. Illmatic is often called the best rap album of the 90's. And it's the biggest projects in NYC and I think even America (as the ones in Chicago were torn down). Dudes from there (Tragedy, Cormega) sort of started the hood documentary trend. And QB in the mid-late 90's had its own sound (gritty project vibes). You don't ever hear people talk about "Marcy Rap"...
      QB hands down.
      Red Hook for BK (legendary in the 90's) imo.

      41 side of 10th St., where the kindergarten school and management it’s on the premises they playground is better than any other. And it’s manicured. I don’t know what happens after tonight when I live there 27 years ago we were like family even the hell went addict, the alcoholics waiting for the liquor store to open up in the cold with a lit fire and one of those oil cans. They never fucked with Mrs. Crespo’s kids in actuality looked out for us. The sad thing they have surveillance now and boots on the ground Stevie Wonder Could see what’s going on the traffic back-and-forth they know exactly what’s going on somebody’s getting paid the other cheek. I know you could get out of the box and discover what’s on the other side 59th St. bridge you can even walk it. So many of stock. The Alston, the Franklin, the walkers those were the better days the simpler times. And no dealer was trying to take someone out. My brother didn’t want to die just like all the others the three elites white collar, good job who the fuck orders cocaine online they got Justice the actor Michael, don’t remember his name, but you know he got justice as well. I could go on and on the latest is Robert De Niro‘s grandson they got justice. My brother wasn’t looking to die. There was a lethal amount 12 mg fentanyl to milligrams morphine and very little cocaine. That was his choice I’ve medication along with alcohol. my brother was clean for 11 years worked his ass off took care of his crazy wife that everybody knows about even management was committing a dog tree while my brother was working hard bringing home cash buying cars one for her one because it’s a classic and one for himself she had men in the apartment while he was working. He knew what she was doing. Even the neighbors knew and my brother loved her or not. She’s legally mentally certified crazy. It runs in her family. I’m sorry I wrote a novel I’m not finish law-enforcement being doing shit, so when I come to visit QB to see my family I’m on the mission me somebody is responsible for my brothers wrongful death that was intentional. I sure hope that they stupid young punks that think they the cats meow yeah their pussies and they think that they’re making big money. When you don’t have anything you don’t come from nothing you think has a lot of money they’re allowing you to think you’re in touch. They’re waiting for that moment for you to get comfortable. I have family in law enforcement system, matter of time I am not afraid of any piss, poor punk. Dealing drugs doesn’t last forever. It’s a war and nobody controls the corner of block or street embrace yourself your small time but you will do big time if you don’t chirp like a bitch, and I know you’re not. if you’re dumb ass is listening, put this shit together put two into together and trust me you will get five this I was born and raised there. I’ve seen them come and go and I know you punk I just punk making peanuts and killing people. Remember you have family and if you don’t think your supplier knows, wait until one of your family members it’s taken out. I what the drug world is all about.. This goes out to whomever it was they gave my brother that lethal knockout. Trust me I have your number. I know your name description. That’s how dumb you motherfuckers are watch your back. This is not a threat of warning I know people big places and we’re not talking about the wild wild West this will be legal in there ferocious I want you to feel the pain, reach out you know who you are I certainly do.

      Take this from a veteran I did time in Queens Bridge, but those days were simpler times. If you do hit the lottery and you never comes up excellent. Save your money and move especially if you have children a wife, a mother grandmother it is so different sad part is we never have surveillance we did have a local police department by the candy store, which that was the best candy store ever for as long as I can remember. Why do you think they shut it down those fucking dumb ass small time drug dealers started hanging out in front with kids. Now that’s the Candy. I like I know they weren’t scared of those young
      Cunt and boots on the ground they knew what was going on. How stupid can you be unless you get paid to pretend you didn’t see. If you have goals to save money and move as soon as you can stack money. It’s called a project for reason and The people who reside there are the guinea pigs. It’s called a project because their plan is to put us all together to allow this to take place to eliminate the black and brown people work hard I beg of you it’s not all it’s made up to be do you research You have every right to find out by law criminal activity in your neighborhood or the place that you’re planning to reside. They are hiding a lot of things, but people are overdosing even after my brothers death and we’ve lived there way before these stupid assholes. they’re so fucking stupid. An example, if you’re gonna rob a bank, make sure it’s worth it because of your caught and it wasn’t with a big head able to buy an island your ass is grass spread eagle cause you ass will be growing some grass. Everybody has their day if you’re gonna do something to pay because when you’re caught at least you did it a level a big league right now. He’s just playing T-bone the project. You could possibly be making fucking Bank and trust me. You don’t own a motherfucking thing. You’re just a gopher and you think you’re the man when you get caught and have to do time that when the bitch comes out if anyone’s tapping into this and Queens Bridge reach out, I am not scared. Do you know who you are. And so does law enforcement. Your day will come. I don’t care if you’re paying them to look the other way. Trust me they’re playing you like a motherfucking fiddle. You’re so fucking stupid with a project mentality and think that you’re fucking the best thing since apple pie make money, make a plan and stop killing our family members, I am so fucking angry and like I said I am not scared. I am not afraid of any of you piss poor animals. What goes around comes around don’t get too comfortable.

    It's more than any 29 buildings. There are at least 30 buildings in Ravenswood and Queensbridge is a larger housing complex.

    • @ghettomerica
      @ghettomerica  Год назад +5

      Funny I thought the same but it’s not. Ravenswood has 31 buildings and QB is indeed just 29 buildings but way more units. Ravenswood has 2167 units and QB 3142. Queensbridge buildings must be larger… The buildings also seem to be more densley concentrated than Ravenswood. I’d also assume units at Ravenswood would be larger or more bedrooms offered. They occupy similar amounts of land.

    I’m gathering it’s early I don’t know if it’s a Sunday, but according to me when I live there, Sundays was slow for business. And you’re not entering the belly of the beast you gotta go in you gotta sit back and observe day and day out especially on the first of every month until the 15th. It looks so peaceful. Unless you’re planning to upgrade this project get rid of the poison that are attached to people make it a better place for our children. Our family fight was right get rid of the infestation not just with rats, roaches, mold, drugs, that are killing, our loved ones. A lot of my friends are successful and left but we also knew the better finer things in life was not fair. It was across the 59th St. bridge. My family members still live there and I’m wondering you should be the governor or the mayor you live there all your life, where is the plan to buy that house or to go down 41st Ave. and buy that condominium that you work so hard for. The view at that piss poor Park looking over the Hudson River into the lit up Manhattan high-rise door man skyscrapers. Something needs to give, as why they call it a project and we will all guinea pigs very few know what they want in life and succeed and for the most part a lot gets swallowed into the belly of the beast. In searching for your new place it’s important to find out about the crime rate, see it in the morning mid afternoon early evening and all through midnight till the morning light. I grew up in the same building as Nas we lived on the second floor, and he lived on the fourth. I am a whole lot older than he is, but I would watch over him and my siblings, and just all of the young kids who got bullied hurt. in my head, I was like years ahead of my age playing on the monkey bars or the barrels or that turtle. I was looking for four leaf clover seriously. And my lucky charm. This is such thing of a four leaf clover if so, it wouldn’t be in Queens Bridge. AnyWho, if you about helping QB right on but it’s gonna take an arm a leg your head your tongue. There’s nothing there for those who wanna make it you’re just going around the block on a day that people are laying low early in the morning I’m gathering, when you should be in it and the 9 yards go along. Once people get out, they forget where they come from and who help them along the line. Oh I am so proud to mention. We grew up in 4016 Vernon Boulevard QB. I know we cannot help everyone, but we could put in stuff towards destroying us from the finer things in life the things that we deserve. As long as they allow criminal, drug activities and dealers, that’s the project plan peace on the east side of that hellhole and God bless the child who gets away and sees the light at the end of the tunnel
