If you saw the Percee P video for “Put It On the Line” and wondered where they got the footage of the South Bronx, check the 1980 documentary “Eighty Blocks From Tiffany’s”. Savage Skulls and Savage Nomads are interviewed heavily for the doc. An old guy who goes by ‘Caveman’ who used to be a Savage Skull member told me that they used to do the same type of robberies in Brooklyn that they show in the reenactments, robbing trucks going down Myrtle Ave. that were on their way to a lot of warehouses in that area.
