One thing not mentioned from the 80's where all that was fly and fresh about hip-hop converged together for all to enjoy and partake is THE BLOCK PARTY!! I remember (117th btwn 8th and Manhattan Ave to be exact), the fashion, the food, friends & family, the music, the dancing, and emcee battles so vividly. This was the one time and place mothers, fathers, grandparents, sons, daughters, whores, crooks, dealers, addicts all came together as family because hip-hop belonged to all of us. Everything was love, kids playing, teenagers flirting, adults dancing, elders eating...damn ((sigh))...those were the days! No matter what was going on in your life, or how bad conditions were around us, when you were in the block you felt like everything was all good! You felt pride in being black, beautiful, and part of this unique thing we call hip-hop...
