Big Daddy Kane
Buckshot (of Black Moon & most of the BCC)
Rza, Gza/Genius & Ol' Dirty Bastard (I think those three, about half of the Wu-Tang Clan is from Brooklyn)

Puff Daddy isn't from Brooklyn.

He isn't? Ass. He always keeps yelling "Where Brooklyn At".

By the way, does anybody have a good picture of Talib Kweli?

That must mean he's from Brooklyn then.   ::) ::) ::)


He was born in Harlem, raised in Mount Vernon and went to university in Washington D.C.
Just cause Biggie is from B.K. doesn't mean that Puffy is too.

BIG big. Like what the size of Jay-Z in this pic:

For Biggie. I gotta design a magazine cover and I was thinking of Jay-Z at the right and Mos Def a little bigger at the left and BIG between them in the front.

i'm sure some people didn't know that...i didn't before i moved there....

plus, pac is from 112th and 7th ave. in manhattan i think, which is basically washington heights (i think). more towards harlem than brooklyn
Title: Re:Brooklyn Rappers
Post by: Kill on February 10, 2004, 12:04:28 PM
but Tom Gotti said he was from the Bronx. Now I don't know where 112th & 7th ave is but ain't Manhattan and BX clearly seperated by the Harlem river ? And next to that river on the south side would have to be Harlem, so if he's from south of Harlem how can he be from the BX? Or do I got that wrong?

you know what, i think i'm wrong....he says where he's from on 2pac resurrection, and i thought he said 112th and 7th, which, is right below harlem (or washington heights), you're right by saying that harlem and the bronx is separated by the river...112th and 7th is still in manhattan, and harlem is still in manhattan, it's the bronx that's not on the island of manhattan....tom gotti, can you explain?

i could of sworn i heard a few times pac was from the bronx.  maybe im wrong lol but im positive hes not from BK
Title: Re:Brooklyn Rappers
Post by: Kill on February 11, 2004, 07:27:10 AM
i'm not positive on anything, except he's definitely not from Oakland....and aight, not BK either, since u sure i believe that...so it's either the bronx or 112th/7th ave = manhattan...whatever
Title: Re:Brooklyn Rappers
Post by: NobodyButMe on February 11, 2004, 07:31:21 AM
yeah, i'm pretty sure he says he's from 112th and 7th, or "i got my first piece of ass on 112th and 7th" - for some reason i just don't think he's from the bronx - listen to the song "my block" and he talks about harlem i think...wish i had that song right now....
