THEY NEVER STOP: THE LOWER EAST SIDE NEW YORK

 

THEY NEVER STOP

TNS aka The Non Stopers was a crew based on Mahattan's Lower East Side. The crew was formed in late 1979 and early 1980. EL3 (RIP) was the president. Membership included: LUS ONE (Vice Pres), RICH 2, SEC (RIP), LUCK, VFR, SNIPER, LEC ONE, BK ONE, LA2, HEC, BYE (RIP), LON (RIP), RO 2, SE 3, REN, NES (RIP), SOE, FIN 56, SPAR aka LED 2, DEN, DC (RIP), REVEAL, DY3, PR and JOCK. They hit mainly with insides and throw ups on BMT and IND lines (RRs, Ns, Ms Js LLs, Ds Es, Fs) during the early 1980s.

 

Two of the more prolific TNS members; EL 3 and RICH 2 became friends with MIN ONE and other members of RTW and expanded throughout the city.

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.

^ 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?

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..

funny thing about that song is "original fr8 hitter..AB 63"

that cat was from west philly and was painting fr8s with suroc in 1980 cuz it was the closest thing they had to painting trains in that area (overbrook)...but how he gor included in a song about nyc escapes me.

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.
