Man, as soon as I finish one they have another I want to see
Narcos and Luke Cage are coming
They have this, and I still need to start Marco Polo
narcos was good. watch it.
narcos pretty much hooks you in from jump imo
3eps in. Decent show. Nothing amazing, just something to watch
They spent some major money on this series too, $120 million from what I heard.
Books need to man-up though. His "girl" and Shao just talk to him any type of way. No girl is gonna just stand there with her man and let another dude call her a bitch, and not call her man out on it. i dont know, maybe thats how it was in the 70s.
Yeah Books need to let his nuts drop. Shorty bossing him around like hes a puppy, Shao stays trying him. But not for nothing I wouldve told shorty to kick fucking rocks. He asked her to be his lady, she said no. Ok cool. That concludes our business. Then she turns around and asks him to play the piano??? "Naaaa, Im good on that, good luck with your dream though. Ill see you around"
This show was one of those corny shows you finish watching because you watched too much already. I thought the 1st 2 episodes were dope then that shit turned into a psuedo-musical hip hop great gatsby. It was ok, I don't put it high on the list though
So many good TV series in recent years. Hard to keep up with all of them.
On the opposite side ... the movie industry has been giving us gems like the Ghostbusters reboot 30+ years after the original in the 80s.

I was gonna ask people who was around that area at that time do they feel its authentic.

The budget must've gone into the 2nd par of the series because this first part couldn't have used much of that budget.
The GEt Down is the greatest HIP HOP film ever to be made, hands down, due to it authenticity and in depths perspective of the era..
A good example is the way they show you the correlation between the economy, the generation gap void (created by Vietnam) and the two genre of music Disco/Hip Hop, and how Hip Hop represented by the outcast street youths of the Bronx...
Another caveat that many people may not quite get was the mysticism of Grand Master Flash at that time... As a youth I remember people talking about him like he really was some Kung Fu master who had some magical gift...
My only knock on the film (and I am really splitting hairs with this one) is that ol boy would have used his ability to write and play piano a long time ago, to hook up with the girl, he was too nice playing not to...

By far the most authentic Hip Hop movie or show ever...
Oh really? See I couldn't really tell but I know I enjoyed it. But I know Nas and Grandmaster Flash were behind this series so I was like they wouldn't let it go down crazy.
But I remember that show The Breaks which I liked on VH1 but bpeople came out talking about it wasn't real and you didn't know how much of it was hating or truth.
Stompin like MONSTERs. I don't know 1 bad show from Netflix
I was younger than that time, but I came at the time to witnessed a lot of the elements of the show, plus I have family who was close to Cowboy and Flash and the stories they told me was very close to the show..
But yeah, I didn't know anything about the show and the writers but I can tell that people from the era had a major roll in the production..
I gotta check the credits again but I did see that Grandmaster Flash and Kool Herc are in the credits as well as Nelson George (Hip Hop Author)
I almost swear those are Nas versus on the opening of each show. I know Daveed is supposedly rapping but alot of the flows / Lyrics remind me of NAS. I didn't get a chance to research this either.
that's mostly the bronx LOL! they call themselves the boogie down bronx everybody else called it the burnt down bronx
Man the many times I went to nyc shit was always dirty, trash flyin around and shit. I did hit up all the hoods and all had trash.that's mostly the bronx LOL! they call themselves the boogie down bronx everybody else called it the burnt down bronx
My hood like that to, seen lil niggas just throw empty chip bags and bottles on the ground smh.
ya I can't lie...when I went back to BK...1st thought to hit me was how the hell did I live here all these years the filthiness congestion everyone always on edge and shit smmfh
I agree. And lol yeah I thought he would just write the damn song for her.
This shit is epic. I'm very proud of them
Real talk, this is great show
Yo but on the real that rutine they did at the end was killing it!!! I know Flash had a big hand in that shit, because it sounded exactly like the Furious Five (I know Melly Mel and them is looking for ways to sue), but as I was telling my boy, the thing is back then they had so many great acts but due to the constrictions of the technology and the budget many of the rappers was on, the audio quality wasn't that great or rather you had to actually be there to understand the true nature of how it was supposed to sound..
So even listening to old Flash records or bootleg tapes today, you almost have to understand that you are not getting the true sound of how it really sounded like...
So to hear them kids kill it at the end with the digital technology of today, it almost sent chills up my back, because I haven't heard real original HIP HOP like that with that much quality since I was a little kid...
Due to the quality of the audio it actually sounds better than the original Flash recorded joints, matter of fact I wan't a audio of the music from the show, because not only was the rapping fire, but the girls singing joints was pure fire also...

One of my baby issues would be in comparison to realism in terms of an artist on top of the game in '97 yet who was a teen in '77.
Now maybe they're using their creative control to tell their story on how they took control of their industry in their reality which is what the base of the show is abt.
But in our reality, this would be the equivalent of GrandMasterCaz, who got his Technics1200s during the black out, being on top of the game in '97.
Also, ironically through all that Poppy/BxRiver/Bambaata shit, that was one of the major complaints by more than one of the OGs who basically said that that area never got their chance to really shine and rep on the mic beyond the mainstream success of TheFurious5 and the street and almost folkloric legend of TheFantasticRomantics(Caz's crew) & TheColdCrush.
This series within the first 6 eps is repping that time on a smaller level very well to me though but I was too young to speak on anything other than that.
I wasn't in no clubs during that Era but even 10 yrs later in unisexed bathrooms in TheTunnel, I never saw anyone Vogueing.
Maybe a few yrs later but not back then and u don't see any of that in them authentic clips of the disco clubs neither but I feel what they were trying to convey regardlessman saw it coming once Jaden met Thor.
Mafuckas maybe cross dressed, geared up for carnival or whatever over the top batty cherries but vogue in
One of the kids fucked around and said "Dope".....nah, that's an 80s thing too but the majority won't even catch that shit unless your in your 40s and up.
Church scene - sick
Visualization of the producer for the girl Marlene's song - sick
Disco interrogation - sick
Flash's jam with the original bboys repping, up rocking and slick footwork - sick
Practice session - sick!
The OG portrayal was magnificent as expected since they were on set making sure it was done right.
Props to Baz, George & all of them who got their vision up on that screen.
Love the Pumas, the OJs, the breaks, Tio's leisure suit like my Pops as well as the attn to the art of turntable-ism but where the fuck were the nickles/quarters on the needle, the reel2reel.players, 8tracks & the overlap pants? Hahaha
Fell asleep halfway through the 6th so will take it in from the beginning soon.
Sounds like my bredren who grew up in a brownstone in FtGreene then finally moved to NJ by Philly and made a family.
Oh yeah, I physically yelled out loud @ the fire scene when Shao lost his record collection and felt for Qtip, RZA & any/everybody else who had to endure that type of trauma.
Nas is definitely putting a collection of flicks together for himself.
DO that shit!
Maybe they both may have penned the verses as Nas delivered em but I'm sure your man must have edited certain parts to fits his flow. Not all as u can tell but certain parts.

Agreed the gay shit was on the low for our community back then until early 2ks when it became "somewhat tolerated" for dudes to come out the closet. I remember when we used to scream on 'mos.
I remember when we got chased by police on horseback cause a fight broke out at the Polar Express (80s - 90s). Coney Island is much cleaner now. Especially after hurricane Sandy.

As I said before, nobody used the word the Get Down to describe a underground party, everyone who knows, knows that they call them Jams... Matter fact Get Down was a common slang used for fucking..
