That "Paid in Full on Ice" thing got me thinking. There's NY niggas that legitimately fit that description. By has a bunch of bammas who don't know they're bammas because they're so NYC. What are some hallmarks of the NY Bamma? Who are some examples? Where are their enclaves?

Papoose is the first person to come to mind. If you had an Avirex, you might be a NY Bamma. If you still fux wit (Dallas) BBQ, you're probably one.

And it took being away from the city for a while to recognize NY Bammas for what they are.

I ain't never see you claim a boro in any of the 50-11 NYC posts

Attended PS 145, JHS 54 and Bronx Science. As a kid, I also lived in Washington a Heights and Kew Gardens. My mom sent me to live with my pops in VA in HS because I was getting trouble. Moved back after HS, lived in Sunnyside and Ft Greene, went to Hunter. Joined Army. Moved back lived in Ft Greene and on the LES. I don't do that claim a boro thing, but if I did, it would be Manhattan. Brooklyn felt like home because that's where I first made my life as an adult, but I don't have enough years to claim it.

if that's your thing.

I refuse to go to the ones in manhattan and the one downtown brooklyn tho. There is one 10 minutes from my crib on flatbush we hit up.

You prolly a bamma. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

i'm not drinking a frozen drink anywhere else.

if you talking bout bbqs like this you must never bought a girl her first texas sized drink smh.

Listen we all know the deal with BBQ's but where else am I gonna get a drink with another drink in it and pay 8 bucks for it AND be around some black folk AND get henny wings.

fam it wasn't until the 10th time i went to bbq's that i realized now matter how much i flirt with the waitress, they not gonna give me an 'extra' extra test tube shot lol

Metronome, Cheetah, Taj, Limelight? NOPE

BBQ's got you, and you might meet a chubby girl who is lonely that night.

i remember i went to miami about 5 years ago and the waiter at clevelanders had jokes bc he was like i'm obviously from ny bc my AF1's looked like i took out them box and put them on once i sat at the table lol

matchy-matchy-ass dudes.

I would change the had to currently have. Would be completely weird to see someone rocking those Quadruple Extra Large leather jackets in 2015. Imagine if those jackets actually came back in style similar to how 8-Ball jackets came back in style years ago.

I do wonder what folks did with those jackets since you can't wear them currently. Did folks just donate them to the Salvation Army? From what I remember, those jackets cost a pretty penny.

all I know is back then ....u had one....u felt official lol

I'd be mad because I'm assuming those jackets cost a ton. Then again, there's nothing you could do with it now but point and laugh, so I guess that anger would be misplaced.

there comes an age when you know mother and father aren't spelled with v's...

and those weird ass jackets..

niggas always rocking some weird ass jacket.

pronunciation heard anywhere where slang is used & linguistic corners are cut...

NY/NJ. we have slang/lazy talking too for parents in the south, but it sounds way diff. midwest and west coast don't muhvah/fahvah either.

A lot of hard H sounds up there.

.

i used to be that kinda DC dude, the kind that tuned you out the moment i heard "sun" "herb" "mad ..." "dope"...WHATEVER they say.

but, i'm over it.

lotta DC dudes not. they hate y'all.

NY niggas use them to stay warm

i can't explain it...it's different.

Ballys and silk shirts FTW!

historically you type about go-go negatively.

but you went to the byb scarface show.

you still trying to figure out if you like it or not?

did you enjoy the show?

Especially Gallery Place.

That post I made was an attempt at me tryna understand go-go. I wanted to get why the wave was so strong wit the older crowd but not the youngins & what was it that keeps yall captivated wit the sound.

I went to the Face show for Face. I enjoy the energy of the live shows when I catch them at Cabarets and other small spots.

I'm still on the fence though, I think it's those mixes that they do in the club that really has me scratching my head sometimes.

and leave out all the pots and pans!!? DC got John Blaze shit and they not resp-- recognizing!

>If you still fux wit (Dallas)

I can understand Dallas BBQ, but why BBQ's in general? Or am I misreading what you're saying here.

He's not talking about 'cue in general (Hell, hit up Dinosaur in Harlem or Gowanus, that's at least respectable.)

Never heard of or seen that BBQ's chain you mentioned. Interesting nondescript name for a chain restaurant. Interesting.

http://www.grubstreet.com/2009/03/bbq_not_dallas_bbq_will_reopen.html#

I guess that explains it

I've walked past that neon sign multiple times in the Village and all this time I assumed that was a Dallas BBQ's sign.

Learn something new everyday.

Was that the BBQ's that had an alleged hate crime some months back? There was video footage of a big brolic Common on Bane Juice/steroids hitting someone with a chair from what I remember.

>big brolic Common on Bane Juice/steroids hitting someone with a chair

I'll do my Googles and look up the news articles on the incident. The video footage I referenced should be linked in the articles.

Link here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3070766/Video-shows-gay-couple-bashed-wooden-chair-NYC-BBQ-restaurant-spilled-drink-homophobic-slur-sparked-argument-turned-violent.html


The video of the incident is in the middle of the page.

cept niggas 40+ seriously discussing hip hop on the street
like an in depth conversation

and the chics looked like they aint been in nobody's chair in a minute


but in general....I didn't see anything that stood out

styles are blending together regionally

>and the chics looked like they aint been in nobody's chair in

you ever tasted them sammiches bruh?

NOT being hype over chik fil a is some bamma shit

It's good, but not that good. Plus, there's like 2 chick fil-a's by NYC in NJ... they could've been had that chicken. Them folks in NY go hype over everything tho. Remember Cronuts? How come they ain't poppin' no more?

I agree with you on the trendy long lines thing. I was hype about the restaurant at first, but having to stand outdoors on a long line for fast food fried chicken doesn't sound like a wise investment of time or money.

In regards to cronuts, I think the Dominique Ansel dude either stopped making them or gave up the recipe after a while. That was insane that folks stood in line three to fours hours for a food that probably takes 15-30 seconds to finish eating and probably isn't that filling.

easily the most overhyped fast food chain of the past 20yrs

White Castles

they need to kill that asap.

hell i even say it

It's straight reflex now.

white people go to the upper east side one. we hold down Central Park West and Times Square, Im sure Dominicans are deep in the Washington Heights one if it's still there, college kids and (black) yuppies go to 8th Street in the village

the point is it's good eating and not super expensive

Even though she ain't the most hood ass chick in the world, she says "SON" every fucking five minutes along with "MY NIGGA" like it's going out of style.

She also does the fist pound into the hand shit and stay trying to shit on all things DC while living here every five mintues too.

Her brothers, when they come visit, are the most prototypical New York hard accent and loosie buying ass niggas and are LOUD AS FUCK. This could also be a Jamaican New York thing because my nigga from Long Island ain't this annoying.

Me neither

They have one volume

cuz New York don't know how to be quiet!

like my lil cousin this past summer who vowed he would not drink ANY liquor during our weeklong vacay b/c none of the bars carried any the 5 types of liquor 'everyone drinks' in NYC. or b/c the bartender couldn't make any of the specialty cocktails he 'always drinks' in NYC.

the way he kept going on about it i suspect w/in NYC he's something of a scrub. if he were actually cool w/the in crowd and the cool-kids he wouldn't need to crow about it so much. also, he'd be able to adapt to a new, strange environment. especially one that serves booze.

plus, the nigga is from suburban Colorado. he's only lived in NYC for like 5 yrs.

NY will never recover.

and i thought about this shit lol

.

-rocawear jeans..
-doo rags under fitted
-prolonged time spent "hanging out" in times square
-eating at applebees or red lobster in and around time square
-buying a full (oversized) outfit from jimmy jazz
-ANY "boots with the fur"
-anyone who wears a white tee (especially pro club) under a button up to the club.

So um people aren't supposed to do that? I'm not saying EYE do it but let's say I DID, what would be the problem?

basically, I shouldn't see your undershirt

That makes sense. V necks are cool.

no matter v-neck or crew.

all these signifiers point to an older time

this is something ive been pondering.

its something that I cant tell if its fading or not.


eh, maybe this is breakout post. maybe, probably not

vonpea.com

imo most bammas wear 10-15 year old fashions with confidence...

so if you idea of an "outfit" includes a tall tee and ironed roc-a-wear jeans with birdman lug boots...

youz bamma

But for the most part, people who grew up with the internet have a broader world view and fewer regional signifiers. Most NY bammas will be 35 or older. The lone exception being niggas that did bids.

so if anything what ambient said above is proof of this
very little if any regionalism anymore.

but like I said, people who grew up online are less regional.

i am officially old(er)

jokes

I live in BK and don't recognize anything that they're talking about. Thank God I came to NYC after the XXL t-shirt/Ruff Ryders era.

With the added benefit of not having to pretend to be earthy or deep. I envy them lil niggas never having to sit through spoken word poetry.

lol..

fuckin Slam Poetry yo

But seriously, saying "Facts" all the time is some new NYC bamma shyt.

And I got the instamorph pellets on Amazon. Can't walk around missing a tooth like Dame Dash in the meantime.

Why NY niggas be swole as shit, NO HOMO, at the gym wearing wife beaters, PAUSE, sweating all succently, NO HOMO, for no reason? That pullups at the light is some bamma shit too. Get a fucking gym membership you shiftless fuck.

The women with the razor blades under their tongues are bammas too. Ditto for them niggettes with that awful attitude and accent. EVERYBODY getting the slander.

These young niggas wearing draws as jeans is bammas too. Hoodies and timbs in a hot ass club is some bamma shit.

until I was in college. I didn't even buy sneakers anymore. Didn't see the need. My girl copped me a pair of AF1s and after I danced in them I never looked back.

at the bodega.

When are NY sport fans gonna learn... gotta take that jersey off before they go out in public whenever the Eagles or Flyers have a big game. Sadly, this is why Philly stays with the reputation of a city of thugs.

...I was telling folks from the beginning how it would go. No way all those twitter chicks were going to ride with Meek, lol.

Plus, Meek be yelling. A lot.
