Hey our HS graduation song was gonna be Im on a boat, until the principle read the lyrics.

how funny! also that tony testa makes me wanna wring his neck. how can someone be such a fool. just a huge joke. this certain new breed of youngsters with weird hair like jersey shore types and tony testa is an ironic punishment on successful tough mafioso who have brought their family out of the gutter and into the suburbs and private schools. now they have fake tan addicted fairy sons that speak like they want to be rapstars lool. god does have a sense of humour!

Anthony Nicodemo in Philly was moving up fast until the worst and dumbest hit in South Philly recently - now he's facing the death penalty

Jay z is amazing though. He is from brooklyn too. Grew up in a really tough neighborhood.

Yea he went to the same hs as biggie

Sure they did, But in my opinion Christopher Wallace was the best rapper ever and Jay Z dosent come close ,although he is decent

Idk man. After hearing dead presidnets 2 by jay z I think it's really close. Both are great. I only listen to the rappers from the 80s and 90s.

wu tang...plus crazy affiliation with italians and mobsters on staten island

google michael caruso

there was big article in the village voice (ny's will know what im referring to) about 10 years ago on that subject

caruso was selling E before it was big...worked with paciello

gamms u know anything about caruso?

That's the guy they called "King Michael" or something to that effect, heard he was huge in the rave seen back then

yes i have heard of him.i knew paciello barely.that was a completely different neighborhood from mine.my stomping grounds were up on the bay park way.and the lower east side. i never sold much of those pills either.but by that kids time,i wasnt doing any thing.

tupac was the best imho

bedstuy - thats the next williamsburg, if anybody has any extra cash i would HIGHLY recommend getting into any of the brownstones in that neighborhood. things are only going up

^^^^^ Agree!!!! I remember saying this two years ago. Bushwick is a perfect example too. And Red Hook for that matter.

Yep, all those three areas are great examples of it. Bushwick is def already on its way to being on the level of Williamsburg. You can tell just by the kinds of people who get off at the subway/walk around in the area. Red Hook has gotten on peoples radars even more especially after Ikea opened over there lol

Doesn't Williamsburg have a solid Italian population? I heard it's a nice neighborhood

Williamsburg used to have a lot more. Its kinda like the polacks in Greenpoint, everyone just kind of moved out to the suburbs. Same with Newark, Hackensack, Carrol Gardens.

I love Red Hook, and the few blocks called Vinegar Hill near Dumbo.. Dunno why, i just love that old dutch architecture mixed with urban decay

Some of the rents in Williamsburg can run much higher than some nice areas of Manhattan, I know a number of people in Williamsburg and Bushwick rooming with like 3 or 4 other people in a 4/5k month apartment (apt is very nice tho), prices can escalate very quickly in these areas

Same thing is happening in Hoboken, just at a slower pace

i consider hoboken an extension on manhattan just in another state/separated by water lol, some nice places with high rents like the others as well.
