The Get Down: Netflix Original

[mytmouse76]

Great show. Salty I have to wait however long for the second half.

 

[thejet]

6 episodes deep. Great show. Music is on point. It gets choppy at times, however it's entertaining the whole way through.

Mylene's chesticles are 

 but her friend Regina ain't bad neither.

I went to school at the Graffiti Hall Of Fame. Tats Cru is still out there every year like clockwork as far as I can tell.

 

That's dope. I've been checking out graffiti there for almost 20 years. Back in the day, before it was renovated, you could sneak in there through a hole in the fence. Looks like the school got some grant money over the years. They put a track on there, fresh turf. It's gated now, you could only go on days that James TOP does his graffiti exhibitions. The last live showcase I attended was in 2012. I met Grandmaster Caz, DJ Eclipse (from Non-Phixion and Fat Beats), Lil' Rodney C (from Double Trouble), Vast Aire (from Cannibal Ox). Saw a bunch of graffiti artists do live pieces, including TONY 164, NIC 707 and DJ JS-1 who writes JERMS (Rocksteady Crew). 

I hate that I didn't take advantage of this stuff.

I was there back when it was a ****hole. We used to go in for night ball once in a while. When I saw the renovations and how much they had changed the park it hurt, man. Back when it was just a huge open lot it was perfect for two hand touch.

Just took it for granted seeing it everyday. It's really not what it used to see, but I appreciate that they've maintained the graffiti.

Showed my moms and pops this show cuz thisis exactly where they grew up at and they said this show shows pretty much everything going on in the bx at that time.music , fashion dancing , drugs , violence ,even karate was huge around that time.they got that instant nostalgia...anyway show is dope.i write that cheesey stuff off as being some of that 70s disco stuff.but the hip hop stuff is on point

This is part of what won me over. It's not really common knowledge, but Kung Fu was HUGE in hip hop back then. Proved to me that they actually did their due diligence and were doing it right.

harlemtothebronx I think they did take full advantage of the Graffitti scene all things considered.

In the time allotted you can only cover so much without covering so much that you can't expand on all story lines.

For it to only be 6 episodes@47 or so minutes, I think what was done was done well enough.

Considering they changed show runners at some point early on in production and ended up doing so well with the material is a feat in itself

I meant I didn't take advantage of going to school at the Graffiti Hall Of Fame every damn day. Shame on me.

They did a great job using it on the show, though. The speech he give dropping the names was

 

[goledensilence]

Yasss Lawd when shawty started stripping in the church. I would have put a stack in the offering plate.

Chocolate shawty got an amazing body though and I'm a big fan of the sistahs that rock their hair naturally. 

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Boom. Then crash. The shattering of glass.

Dive to the floor. Busting my ***.

What the hell was that? It was all that I said.

I could see the pool of blood. I seen my moms was dead.

No emotion in the commotion. I wasn't even sad.

Not even when I learned the bullet was meant for my dad.

Vietnam made pops crazy. He was already half-dead.

So why couldn't that have been him that got shot in the head?

All the news that's fit to print. Mama's death went unreported. 

Not a whiff of word. They don't care about us ****** is how my pops explained it.

But I didn't know I was a ***** until my dad proclaimed it.

Six months later my pops was dead, too.

Drug-related shots fired, his skin turned cold blue.

On the news that night the president's wife got a new hairdo.

Newsguy said, I don't like it, how about you?

No word about my pops t in the post or on CBS.

Why was that, you ask? Take a ******* guess.

And yeah, why is that? Is what politicians should be asking.

But who's got time for questions when you all skiing up on Aspen.

Broads get gunshots to the head and all y'all getting swerving lessons up in Aspen.

My mama was so lovely she would've made your head spin.

Level the playing field and y'all would see who would really win.

And yeah I got anger. But I don't let it take me down.

Because my mama taught me better and she holds me up when I fall down.

Rest in peace, moms. Don't worry about your son.

Someday I'll make you proud because, yeah, I am the one.

Show is DOPE.
I started last night and finished this morning.
I need part 2.

 

[hoosierdaddy317]

Watched the whole season this weekend I'm obessed with Mylene damn near gotta set my mission in life to bag her b 

Shaolin is probably my favorite character followed by the Uncle. Uncle gets **** done and wants to give back to community. Crazy how corrupt government was back then (and is now).

Shaolin got heart. He's a warrior. Type of ***** to do anything to make ends meet. I hate the ***** *** son of the Queen Druglord though. 

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Zeke's uncle who's always walking around the house in boxers and a robe drinking a Colt .45 has to be my favorite character. Dude reminds me so much of my pops...just a lot meaner.

Aye he kept it real with Zeke though when he was offered that internship. 

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Yeah, wasn't a fan of him until that moment. That was a dope scene.

Dude's tough but he wants the best for Zeke.

 

[hoosierdaddy317]

Bruh 

 I'm in love b

 

[SoleByThePound]

As an older Hip Hop head, this show is definitely appreciated. Netflix continue to create good shows and I can't wait until Part 2 drops.

 

[paulwest1985]

Their use of music in this shoe is impeccable.

Watched the first episode yesterday and love it. The disco-dance off was . The whole club scene was lit especially when Malibu arrived.

Overall, love the concept and creativity of it all.

EDIT: Mylene and her two friends wood get it.

[HEATHEN]

Lawd Mylene is so bad.

I mean you see chicks like her in NY all the time though. Probably not AS bad as her but pretty typical.


I miss NY.
