Brooklyn, the Remix: A Hip-Hop Tour

For many, the word “Brooklyn” now evokes artisanal cheese rather than rap artists. The disconnect between brownstone Brooklyn’s past and present is jarring in the places where rappers grew up and boasted about surviving shootouts, but where cupcakes now reign. If you look hard enough, the rougher past might still be visible under the more recently applied gloss. And if you want to buy a piece of the action, Biggie’s childhood apartment, a three-bedroom walk-up, was recently listed by a division of Sotheby’s International Realty. Asking price: $725,000.

Go Brooklyn?  Too soft.

The nuclei of the old school scene on Flickr. My favorite picture of the night. This group of guys were standing on the corner of Broadway in Soho during Fashion’s Night Out. It brought back all the memories of early 1990s hip hop style: Nas, Rakim, Pete Rock and CL Smooth. Refreshing.
