Brooklyn isn’t just a borough — it’s the capital of the Caribbean diaspora. In this episode, Sire Stuyvesant and Gee Q break down how the islands shaped Brooklyn AND how Brooklyn shaped the culture right back. We talk Ocks and corner-store culture, why Caribbean families reuse butter dishes, the relationship between Caribbean & African-American communities, who really brought hookah into the party scene, and the ongoing debate of East Coast vs West Coast hood movies.
