I'm Not From the Streets (But I've Seen Photographs)

Do you remember those old block parties? The girls hangin' out on the stoop doing the wop? Do you remember the battles at Union Square? Kool Herc at Sedgwick Ave? Saturday nights above the rollerskating rink? Remember the Bridge Wars? The untouched white trains and the fat rope chains? What about the New York City Breakers and the Rock Steady Crew? Remember the "yes yes ya'll’s and the 808 loops? Me neither, but I've seen some shit in magazines that made it all seem pretty fly.
