Did anyone here grow up in or near those projects? With so many Hip Hop people being from there it's become a well known housing project among Hip Hop heads. Did anyone here know of any rappers from there growing up? Also how are these projects as far as "drama" in comparison to other projects? Is Queensbridge considered one of the worst projects?

The borough of queens has the least housing projects in the city. As for queensbridge housing prokects is very famous for putting out many rappers. Queensbridge is the biggest housinh development in nyc and also the biggest housing development in the country. Some guy told me you can take all the projects in mott haven density wise, and queensbridge will still have more people. The queensbridge housing projects rival nearly all other housing projects in infamous bronx and brooklyn in crime and terror. Take the n train to queens and you will get a nice view of queensbridge housing projects.

Now that Nas must pay ex-wife Kelis $50,000 a month in child support, he might become QB's next tenant.
