BED-STUY, BROOKLYN — The East River fireworks were cool and all, but nowhere in New York City was the Fourth of July as lit as the Banneker Playground basketball courts in Bed-Stuy.

As seen in smartphone footage from some crazy-lucky standerby, local rapper Desiigner, 19 — who blew up this year when Kanye West sampled his song "Panda" — moshed and flailed and rapped the track through a megaphone on the Banneker blacktop Monday afternoon, once and for all laying to rest any suspicions that the neighborhood may have been losing its edge.

The Banneker courts are located just a few blocks north of the Louis Armstrong Houses, where Desiigner grew up. (And a few blocks north of that are the Marcy Houses, where Jay-Z grew up.)

Asked about the gentry creeping into his neighborhood, Desiigner recently told Billboard: "Things change."

"When people are like, 'Why are these white people walking around this black hood?,' I'm like, 'Why aren't they?'" he said. "If it ain't bothering nobody, they can do whatever they want! They're in the hood to make it better."

He also said his sudden, Kanye-borne superstardom has made it impossible to walk the streets of Bed-Stuy in peace.

"I can't step outside my house now — everybody knows my face," he told Billboard. "I got new cousins calling me. It's like, I have a cousin named Nate now."

So: Blessed are we that our young prodigy decided to step out this Independence Day and wile on the Banneker courts like a Brooklyn everyboy. Let's see Future do that.
