Brooklyn and Long Island are arguable, but its all about Queens.
Kane is from Brooklyn & Rakim is from Long Island.

I need to change my vote to "Wherever the fuck Rakim is from"
Cuz I really don't know.
I need to work on my stalking skills, apparently.

haha umm no


Bronx is uptown, Brooklyn is south of Manhatten

umm no to that.

Bronx=Bronx
Brooklyn=Brooklyn
Harlem=Manhattan=Uptown

As far as this poll goes. Even though I grew up in Brooklyn, Queens is the correct answer.

See, you saying that is funny to me but it's only because I'm from here so i can't knock you because I'm sure my lack of knowledge of the bay would make you laugh so let me break it down for you...



NYC consists of 5 boroughs(which are counties).....

Manhattan (Harlem is here)
The Bronx
Queens
Brooklyn
Staten Island aka Shaolin


Hiphop started in The Bronx.

Manhattan is where all of the extra tall buildings are and whatnot.

I would have to say that most of the rappers I have liked throughout my life come from Queens.

I can't say S.I. because Wu are really the only thorough ones who come from there and, if you are a rapper from S.I., chances are that you are in some way affiliated with Wu.

Oh, and Mt. Vernon, Long ISland, and Yonkers are all areas in the metro area of NYC. Which is also where I am at.

^^ Why are you talking shit?

All i said was that it was part of the NYC metro are because it was completely relevant to what I said.

You must not like my e-personality much because, if i remember correctly, you have spoken shit to me before.


SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSHH..


And don't say Rockland gets no love. Rockland deserves just as much recognition as anywhere else because people suffer and struggle here, too. Like anywhere else ont he planet.

There is wackness here, also, though, LIKE ANYWHERE ELSE ON THE PLANET.


You know what??? I'm not even from here but fuck that!!!!


BIG UPS TO ROCK LAND!!!!!!!!

And, also, my bad, you have never spoken shit to me before, i mistook you for someone else.

Mt. Vernon and Yonkers are in Westchester. They are gullu just like Spring Valley and Haverstraw are to Rockland.

I usually hate on Rockland but you are making me feel like I need to rep it.

I'm on edge today.
