This actually took place at one of my regular haunts, Tammany Hall. Pretty much the block is super hot in the Lower East Side of Manhattan right now. There is some serious gentrification going on and the cops are getting a little extra. So this really doesn’t come as a surprise to me. The NYPD has to be one of the most sh*tty corrupt organizations of all time.
I guess plug the Pete Rock/Smif-N-Wessun album, Monumental? Spotted at RR.

On Sunday July 28, 2013, the world renowned Rock Steady Crew held it’s 36th Anniversary celebration in Central Park, NYC. The event featured a reunion performance by Pete Rock & CL Smooth, as well as performances by Brand Nubian, Cormega, Special Ed, Craig G, The Arsonists, Homeboy Sandman and more. The show also featured DJ sets from DJ Premier, Tony Touch, Evil Dee, and DJ Eclipse, DJ JS-1. Of course, the highlight of the event was an incredible breakdance performance from the entire Rock Steady Crew. Click through this slideshow to see all of the highlights of that day’s event.
