@unalson9514 I'm 45 and yes the 80s and the 90s were the greatest years of my life. I had a very fun childhood, I grew up in Philadelphia. My family was poor but it wasn't to bad. But the difference is now everyone is on social media and have cell phones, and technology is way better. But I'll trade all of that to live back in these times again. People were more happier and nicer, even with our life struggles. I can't really explain it. You had to be there and lived through it to understand. It was special.
VERY THANKFUL FOR YOU SHARING OF THIS VIDEO. I CAN ALMOST SMELL THE AIR FROM OFF MY 📱 PHONE WATCHING THIS AND HAVING HAD LIVED OFF 355 W.115TH PUSHING MY Djmario VAN and dj services. Harlem showed me ❤ for my hustling with the Harlem Hustlers " Dj Reggie Well & Harold Maynard who were teaching me the promotion game in Harlem 😊
Ikr, and no guns... Maybe a couple but the way it is now it's worse than the Western days. But cell phones, social media and guns broke our connection as people. I cherish those days of the 80s & 90s.

Shorty the 90s was the shyt back when people were alive. This era make us panic. Becaseue they don't respect life and love. That's has to be first. GOD was first in the 90s that's why it's called the golden era
16 year old me then. Harlem week was it! All the people ,the fly cars parked up with the kicker box speakers blasting the the hottest mix tape out , Kid Capri,Doo wop &the bounce squad.. Putting on your best gear and two pens to write down numbers on torn off pieces of paper of the girls you would meet .Going home trying to remember who was who. LOL!! OLD HARLEM!! THANKS FOR SHARING!! ✊🏾💪🏾
Loved it when the ladies wrote the phone number on the palm with the heart over the i letter in their name......Thats when you knew you were in there...Miss those days....Priceless!
This when you had to be in it to win it.... You couldn’t watch from the penalty box and call shots. You had to feel the energy... feel that pavement under your feet. The life, The Soul. This was us.
1990 was the most violent point in NYC history they had over 2100 murders, it may look like it was full of culture and nostalgia, but the streets was completely out of control, crack was its peak , I love the 90s but people forget how violent it was , especially places like NYC , DC , Philly and New Orleans
That’s what I remember about Harlem. Everyone was cut throat there was no real unity back then I was 14 years old back then and I remember nothing but Despair
Yes we tend to get nostalgic because we remember the people, family, places, music and special moments we shared, but we forget all the bad stuff that happened like the riots, murders, robberies and of course the crack epidemic. That said, the early 90’s in NY was a special time before things changed, no wifi, no smart phones, no social media, people actually talked to each other…and I wish I can go back.
Thank you for sharing this video. I wasn't fortunate enough to have grown up in NY so to see Harlem before the gentrification and white-washing is a real treat.
i was 18 going on 19 back in 1990 , and me and my crew used to travel all the way from BROOKLYN just to attend HARLEM WEEK baby !!!!! lol.......... AH !!! the good old 1990s, i had a BLAST all through the 1990s decade PARTYING my ass off all through my 20's, LOL

Long before the days of smart phones, internet, social media and reality tv this was what real life was all about. Being outside with the people. It was real and sadly these days are long gone. 😢
Thank you for this I was born in Harlem hospital in 1963 lived on 127th street until the age of two then moved to the Drew Hamilton houses growing up in Harlem wasn't easy but it was the best time of my life. This right here is when Harlem was Harlem it was our essence and our aura.
@@dwannbrown2565 Facts!!! I believe that these guys were Midlevel dealers at the time and in the 80s midlevel dudes were getting so much paper that alot of them got Rich being midlevel instead of Kingpins. Alot of dudes got that bag on the low and slid through without scratches.👍
I look at old videos like this and wonder where some of these people are today I was 20 years old back in 1990 was more downtown and midtown back then I miss I miss these times from back then it’s never the same when you get older
Everything has good and bad. Harlem was thriving with culture and energy. Now those functions don’t go on. Many people have moved South. We often don’t get involved politically so a new resident goes to community board meetings and knows that your building is being knocked down. They also push the politicians to close your bar or enforce the block party permits. There was a block party in every other block in the 1980s.
I be so hyped to see old videos of Harlem no matter how small. The big difference. Even though some businesses is still there. I was 9yrs old when this video was made. I went to Harlem week every year for as long as I can remember.
The nostalgia of this video, man I miss the old Harlem. I'm from Polo grounds on 155th in 8th across from Rucker and from 1st hand experience I can tell u there is NOTHING like Harlem week in the 80's-90's. The culture was so rich. Money flowed through Harlem like water. Everywhere u looked there were exotic cars, cats with dookie ropes on, chicks with bangle earrings and the flyest attire. It was our culture and just a way of life. They say every one across the country wants to be from N.Y.... but everyone from N.Y. wants to be from Harlem! #FACTZ

I remember riding my bike from my apartment in the Bronx near Fordham University through Harlem down to Lincoln Center in midtown in August of 1990. It was so damn hot and I think I had heat stroke that day. I took the subway home. Good times.
This was a couple of weeks before I was born ..my family use to live on 138th and Lenox ave in Harlem… it’s amazing to see my neighborhood at that time my older siblings were living in before I was born ❤❤❤❤
@2:34 I see brother Arthur from Moneyearnin’ Mount Vernon, I was 9 going on 10 and I remember the old Harlem...I remember taking the 30 minute drive with my family from Mount Vernon to attend Harlem week and I remember the good times with family who lived in Harlem some have passed and some went back down south but Harlem has changed soooo much...last time I even remember Harlem being like this was 99’/2000 EVERYTHING SLOWLY STARTED TO CHANGE AFTER THAT...no more abandoned buildings, no more M&G soulfood on 125, Sylvia’s is still there-they just expanded to the corner....everything just changed. I miss the old Harlem...and really don’t know how to feel about the new gentrified Harlem.
People in the comments are so obsessed with Alpo, AZ, and Rich Porter 😂 There were many hustlers from Harlem that was getting money that were just as big and bigger than them
We was getting money in Harlem around this time shit was definitely good I miss the 90’s 🔥 a lot of ppl were still alive and out it’s definitely different now we getting older and life is moving on
Just to think some or most of these ppl in the video may not be alive or have reached middle or old age. I was around 5 years old at this time and was living in brooklyn but it still gives me memories.
Oddly, I remember exactly what I was doing on this day August 11, 1990. I was at my grandparents’ house in Greensboro, NC. We went to the science museum and ate Krispy Kreme donuts on the way back to the house. Then, my dad called us from Santa Fe, New Mexico and I told him who my second grade teacher was gong to be when school started next week, as I had found out earlier that day. Time flies.
back when you could do things like this and not have to worry about crazies doing mass shootings....the worst thing could happen would be a fight breaking out...I miss days like these
you guys had your chance i mean im sure there were many smart black people back then right? like WTF we all had the upperhand and let it slip away from us
You realise before the blacks came in it was Italians and shit? But you wanna get mad at white people coming in Harlem, it was literally white from ur people came
@@imadeyoureadthis1500 there’s a huge cultural difference between Italian immigrants and “white” people gentrification is literally sucking the soul out of every major city with these suburban, culture less, bland weirdos taking over…. Italian and Irish neighborhoods that were gentrified don’t like the whites either
What does someone's race matter? I'm white what does that matter? It's all about diversity and different cultures. You must not like white people... sorry to hear that type of ignorance.
Hello! I represent the project The History of Russian Rap. We would ask you to give for us agreement for using this materials. Is it possible? What we will need to do for this?
You can feel the soul back then
I haven’t been to NY, but I can feel the soul, just by watching this.
Pure facts! I was 6 In 1990 but remember like it was yesterday
Kinda reminds me of Chicago before gentrification... New York & Chicago are very similar.
The whole Malcolm X reverb came out. Public Enemy. IMO this was the basis for the black personalities we have now. For better or worse.

I’m from Harlem born and raised. I’m 30. I’ve never seen so many white people in my life now. 😒😒😒
you guys had your chance i mean im sure there were many smart black people back then right? like WTF we all had the upperhand and let it slip away from us
You realise before the blacks came in it was Italians and shit? But you wanna get mad at white people coming in Harlem, it was literally white from ur people came
@@imadeyoureadthis1500 there’s a huge cultural difference between Italian immigrants and “white” people gentrification is literally sucking the soul out of every major city with these suburban, culture less, bland weirdos taking over…. Italian and Irish neighborhoods that were gentrified don’t like the whites either
What does someone's race matter? I'm white what does that matter? It's all about diversity and different cultures. You must not like white people... sorry to hear that type of ignorance.
