That is dope as **** bro. I remember that exact time when every guy in those magazines look like Tyson. I bet I saw your cousin in that because I used to always go and read them in the bodegas, before they tried to kick us kids out lol. I used to hit all those spots, but wasn't able to cop an avirex as a kid( I did eventually get to cop some Pelle Pelle when I was a little older making some money). I usually stayed up town for shopping, Harlem and Washington heights, but when I got a bit older me and my boys would roll through Delancey when we had a bit of paper to spend.
Canal street though was my spot as a kid, fake everything thinking I was looking fly as **** plus we would get the bootleg DVDs and video games.
I used to listen to all those tapes from my barbershop. Clue had the NYC rap on lockdown in those days. A little later Green Lanter and Whoo kid were also in the game. Ron G I remember as a kid and S&S later stayed in the game for a while, I remember they used to have some dope D-Block exclusives on that tape.
I'm happy as **** you posted that song, because I haven't heard Mad Lion since I was a kid. I think he was part of BDP if not he was mad cool with all them, but I forgot all about him, I just threw on his youtube schit on my phone right now.
