This is home. I remember doing those musicals at P.S 70 every month, those fun-filled saturdays in Astoria and Flushing Meadows park with all the fam, those delicious shishkabob stands in every corner along with the gyros and icees carts, the 7 train, the kids hustled in a corner spitting rhymes, the array of ethnic food that you won't get anywhere else, the basement homes, shopping on Steinway, the fireflies in midsummer nights, La Guardia Airport, teenagers playing handball anywhere and everywhere there were a wall, the realness in people that some misinterpret with being "rude" or "cold". Such love for a city that is filled with endless dreams and desires. Queens being such a diverse community enables it to come across astounding talents. Some of the best started right here, those including LL Cool J, Run DMC, 50 cent, Mobb Deep, Cormega, Nas, Kool G Rap. Keep Hip Hop alive, I will be home soon <3.
