I'm a Manhattanite, but used to live a couple of blocks from the 155th St overpass that leads down to the Macombs Dam Bridge that features in the beginning of the seminal Eric B & Rakim video for "I Ain't No Joke": uptown represent. They who think wrong are they who can't do that style that I'm doing. (The video actually shows the section of 155th St under the overpass, which gets confusing because the road on the overpass is also 155th St. Explaining that to cab drivers used to be fun. It's amusing, I used to park my car in the parking lot off-camera to the right of that shot.)

Close. "Boogie Down Productions" is a specific group (actually a trio) that formed in the South Bronx (I guess the term "Boogie Down" is kind of specific to the South Bronx; I mean, it's kind of hard to image much boogie-ing happening in Parkchester or Riverdale...). BDP's only constant member, KRS One, was/is highly influence and considered something of an elder in the rap community. I'm afraid this is VERY far afield from the typical TUHS content, though. In deference to other list members, I'm going to bow out of the history of hip hop and NYC geography before I incur the wrath of Warren et al. :-) - Dan C. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
