I was the only one at my school who believed in Hakeem. Everybody else was ready to give the championship to Shaq before the start of game 1. I really should have put some money on that series.

You think Jordan is worried about all of the women his age who rejected him in his teens and early 20s? Clearly none of us on here are on Jordan's level but the lesson here is keep doing what makes yourself happy and do not get under any circumstances get married. Later on when it is time to...

Are you old enough to remember Olajuwon embarrass the hell out of Ewing and Shaq during the 94 and 95 NBA Finals?

Just deal with it for the time being and make sure you do not get married anytime soon. The older you get the more you will realize what to expect from younger chicks until you finally just accept that it just comes with the territory. Just remember your goal is to one day be like the lead...

1985-1999 Tracks was the ultimate DC dance club during this period. http://www.discomusic.com/clubs-more/13563_0_6_0_C/ ^ To see pictures and read stories from people who went there click here.

Tilt - Arkade Funk 12"

^ Teenagers and young adults getting high and getting drunk in the Capital Centre parking lot. 1986. Good times.

^ Real ^ Fake If somebody wants to wear a retro throwback script snapback hat thats fine just dont go walking around town acting cocky thinking you are the sh*t because in reality you are doing nothing more than borrowing fashion from a previous decade. 

Irving's 10th & E Street, NW 

In addition to Champs and Foot Locker etc... there were local spots such as Boyce & Lewis, Irving's Sport Shops & Cheap Sneaks etc... to buy gear at. Downtown Locker Room and Sports Zone both opened up in the early/mid 1980s. There were no retro/throwback movements during this time period...

These days mostly just in my office.

I have not heard anything but it would not surprise me. Nike is all about money and those smaller stores just do not sell as many shoes as the larger stores/chains. I remember years ago hearing about Nike knowingly not doing anything about counterfeit clothing in lower income areas because it...

$13.50 could get you a seat in the 100 level for an NBA game over at the Capital Centre. Thats just one level above floor seating. You could see superstars such as Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Dr J, Isiah Thomas, Moses Malone and George Gervin up close for less than $20. You could buy a drink...

Yeah man the documentary was trash. Very low budget.

I saw part of that documentary and the reenactments were way off. Nobody in DC was dressing like that in 1975.  

^ WAVA FM mid 1980s ^ WKYS FM early 1980s ^ WOOK FM early 1980s Radio was a hell of a lot better in the DC area during the 1980s than right now. I dont even bother listening to the radio anymore. It is a waste of my time. Here are a few clips of the some of the top DC radio stations...

^ Part 1 ^ Part 2 There was a lot of Police corruption in DC, Montgomery County and Fairfax County during the 1980s. I do not want to get into specifics here but there were plenty of high profile cases which were picked up by the media. I have posted a video link above to one of those cases.

Teen Summit was definitely filmed in DC. I am not sure about Rap City The Basement though. 1998 - early 1999 were the last Rap City episodes I remember that were filmed on the streets of DC. After that, most of the episodes of Rap City were either filmed inside The Basement or on the streets...

Rap City was filmed in DC from the late 1980s up until the late 1990s. Keep in mind during this time period is when many claim rap music was at its peak and did not suck horribly like it does today. On any given day you could find the top rap artists of the 1980s and the 1990s on the streets...
