They weren’t suburban posers, but a group of young men who grew up in New York City, and everything that went with it. Young Black Teenagers was made up of rappers Ron “Kamron” Winge, Thomas “Tommy Never” Barbaccia, and Firstborn, along with DJs Scott “Skribble” Ialacci and ATA. It was an idea so ill-conceived that it completely overshadowed the group’s reasonably good self-titled debut album, released 30 years ago. If you can think of a worse idea than naming a group of five white guys “Young Black Teenagers,” I’d like to hear it. Young Black Teenagers are the most unfortunately named group in hip-hop history. This type of album will never happen again.
