Pharaoh145th Posted October 6, 2002 Share Posted October 6, 2002 mad typos kid... and their knowledge is questionable... There was 2 TNS crews.. TNS LES and TNS uptown. Broadway #1 Line TNS Uptown was The Nasty Squad, The Nation's Squad. The Brothers CEP and DIKE, Spade127 FBA, Serge FC, Really a neighberhood thing.. Washington heights thing.. Thug niggaz from the hood. I'll try to post flix later I would say TNS LES, came out first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETHREADZNY Posted October 6, 2002 Author Share Posted October 6, 2002 ^ Yeah I got the lyrics online somewhere, I realize that they were questionable. Pharoah I would love to see these pics...Also about what time period was tns uptown rockin it. I know that spade, serge and were always holding it down. also was lune tns affiliated with the tns from the lower east side or uptown, if either?

Pharaoh145th Posted October 6, 2002 Share Posted October 6, 2002 Its possible that it could be LUNATIC TNS from uptown,, but i never met the company flow cats, so i dont know.. i'd say tns uptown was like 82/83-85.. might be older but not that much older.. Spade was down with them like in 83-84, on some hustling shit... they just happeneed to also be writers.. serge was down with them like the same time.. late 82- 83 there was alot of neighberhood crews uptown, that just hit the 1's, 3's and the A's a little, and no one remembers them.. for example SBS from uptown.. SPICS BE SAVAGES... down with FC FDB from 135th... FULLY DOWN BOYS.. (junior BallBusters) WC from the 170s WILD CREATIONS etc.. there were so many bro..

Scratch Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Re: didnt philly have a subway? >and wasnt it bombed???????????????!?!? Yes, very much so. There were panel pieces running on the Philly el and Broad Street Subway as far back as 1973. The insides and outsides were destroyed. It was a beautiful thing. Freights started getting hit about a decade later after the subway was all cleaned up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
