 Only in NYC June 14, 2003
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
Growing up in Brownsville, Brooklyn this book depicts the look and feel of NYC during this era. Brothers was rocking the shearlings tough, punks was getting their Lee patches taken and the flygirls was rocking the bamboo earings. Before the MTV era (although we did have Video Music Box) was setting the trend for how we looked and spoke, we looked within ourselves and let the streets define whether we were fresh or corney.

If you used to sit in front of the TV, after school, watching "YO MTV Raps" and "Rap City", then this book is for you. Just like how Moms and Dads can reminisce about the 60's & 70's, we can finally look back and remember the days when the only debt we had was a pager bill. Bamboo earings, asymmetric hair cuts, converse shoes and "TIGHT" jeans were in style. I usually don't spend over [price] on one book (I'm not that much of a reader) but I HAD to get this one. Definitely, a must have for those rainy days, or when you just want to sit back and "chill".
 cool cover - weak inside May 19, 2002

The cover looked so promising, but once i opened this boook up and took a good look inside I was very dissappointed.
It really looked like it was going to be the coolest B-boy hip hop style from back in the days book ever, but fell short in a big way in my opinion. That's too bad.

A Must Have! March 15, 2002
back in the day a solid Reflection on Hip-Hop Life&the Early Vibe.when Expression Mattered&Being Original was the Norm.When Biting a Style wasn't cool.it seems like Yesterday but is this Clone riding time&Past Decade it seems like a Century ago almost.because that was a FRESH time Period in Style&Vibe.RIGHT ON!
