As Kanoe13 noted, this song is very reminiscent of Licensed to Ill (perhaps it's the jammy reference, along with the simple beat).
It's really a strange song. From the title, one might think it's meant to be an ode to Brooklyn. And it has been used by the B-boys during concerts in NYC in that way. But the lyrics paint a dystopian view of the city. The narrators seem to be common theifs/psychopaths. Looking to cause destruction for no clear reason, but they seem to have some type of belief system.
Jacking people, holding up old ladies with sawed off shotguns, building bombs, looking at porn. I feel the delinquency and malevolence in this song is a little bit different from the less serious atmosphere of Licensed to Ill and the reckless nature of the rest of Paul Boutique.
