	Her Film Project Happens to Be Her Project - New York Times
		Selena M. Blake lived at Queensbridge Houses during the many years when the gunfire of drug dealers crackled through the night and confirmed the public's view of the projects as a place of mayhem and menace.
		Blake, 43, also knew a Queensbridge that never made the news, a place where bus drivers, postal workers and seamstresses kept an eye on one another's children in the courtyard jungle gyms, and borrowed potatoes to finish off a stew.
		She had such great affection for Queensbridge, a checkerboard of six-story brick buildings along the East River in Long Island City whose 3,142 apartments and 7,054 tenants make it the nation's largest public housing project, that she wanted to correct the distorted portraits of life there.

	Tragedy: The Story of Queensbridge - ThickOnline.com
		This is the oral history of the Queensbridge housing projects, but it’s told through the evolution of veteran emcee Tragedy.
		I don’t know if director Booker Sims set out to base his Queens’ Hip-Hop documentary on the life of the Intelligent Hoodlum, but he seems to have come to the conclusion, through various interviews with Queens residents, that Traj is the hometown hero; half thug, half self-aware brother.
		A little more history on Queensbridge itself could have benefited the viewer but all in all, I gotta say, fitteds off to Booker T. (as Killa Sha calls him) for a job well done.

	Nas & Ill Will Records Presents: Queensbridge's Finest \| The A.V. Club
		Nas the social realist pops up throughout Queensbridge's Finest, the first release from his new Ill Will Records label, but the compilation itself takes its cues from Nas the mercenary, thugged-up sellout, resulting in a frustratingly mediocre album dotted with flashes of brilliance.
		Ostensibly a celebration of Queensbridge, a Long Island housing project that has spawned generations of hip-hop royalty, Finest finds QB legends like a scene-stealing Roxanne Shanté; sharing mic time with current QB ringers (Nas, Mobb Deep, CNN) and a slew of newcomers.
		Nas' evocative imagery and novelistic detail hint at a far more ambitious and compelling undertaking, a sort of oral history of the neighborhood as seen through the eyes of the rough-hewn wordsmiths who made it out alive.
