look how all the houses were painted fresh and it was clean back then plus look how the youth who were rapper looked, they were happy with themselves without having much but their rhymes. You can tell that people actually were happy back then. it brings back so many good memories when it was beat bxing and break dancing. The 1980s was one special ride, one of the best times to be alive and moving around.
cuz I lived through that era, from East Falls projects, to 3rd and Page, to Delhi Street up Hunting Park. That ish was wild AF, as kid who lived up Brickyard and went to school out NE Philly and then GAMP in South Philly, 26 subway stops away. Cats were getting shot over sneakers, with homicides at 600 a year. Stop sugarcoating things.
West Philly Stand Up! University City High Alum Reppin. I was barely allowed off the porch at that time. An era that had spectators of Hip-Hop. This is when only 1 out of 50 young folks even rhymed. Now at least 25 out of 50 think they're rapping. Classic footage ya'll
These young men still around today, they got to be senior elders ...i can image the rap stories & neighborhood rap battles.....this is what they meant by hip hop....! 😎😎😎😎😎😎
These was the days we could really fight, brothers would go to the gym to keep they shit sharp, and if you didn't go to the gym you learned on the streets and you better learn quick....lol. Now they just shooting each other.... SMH.

Crack hadn't fully devestated the inner city yet. By 1990 it was a wrap
I see the Schoolly D, Steady B, Cool C, and DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince style was BIG in Philly. 👏🏾
