Hood Life: A Hip Hop Guided Tour Of Compton
Starring: Hodari Sababu
Director: Winston Case
I was on his compton tour when i was in LA two years ago..he is a really nice guy.
He’s Elon musk of Compton
I would visit this place only because of stars like dre and snoop and others, you grow up listening to the music, you grow up watching these compton folk go from rags to multi milionaires and you can feel the pain of their upbringing in these neighbourhoods so it makes sense to go check it out. Respect.
Ive walked past this dude everyday for over a year, I didn't know it was a hood tour, lmfao
Have a serious question, what if someone wanted to come, not for a tour, or to "look" but to give the little ones books, clothes and so on. Just to be there for them and so on. Only, asking bc I am watching The Game, and he is talking about foster children, they are the ones I want to give and help. I know all too well about the system
@Abraham Shekelbergstien what makes you think kids from the hood don't want an education ?
@Mick Rice well I have to disagree with you on that I've seen a large amount of black kids starting their own businesses, graduating from high School or college with high honors, young black kids starting their own businesses , we even have a black miss teen of America
@Mick Rice sad thinking on your part but your beliefs are yours . Being financially responsible has nothing to do with race over compensating for a lifestyle you really can't afford is the issue there and there are whites as well as blacks who have done that as well
@Mick Rice i understand but as a young black woman (wife &mother)I'm telling you no that's not all we want . I am in fact working my way towards owning my own cleaning company so that we can leave our kids something one day. I watched my Dad work hard to own his own company so he could take care of my mom, myself , and my siblings and he inspired me to want to do the same .
I think that's one of the most brilliant business ideas I ever heard. I call it like I see it. god bless sir
As a white Irish Man (real irish like actually LIVE in Ireland) and an NWA fans since 1986 I LOVE This idea. Always wanted to see "the Hood" but knew it was not the kinda place for a white guy from Dublin to just go walking around. Now I might actually go to LA
Great video. I can always appreciate someone that thinks "outside the box." I love tours that supply culture and histroy, not just generic city stuff you see on the media.
I met this man and talked to him for a while. He is the real deal, he's been doing the tours for a while now. There is no other tour like this anywhere on west coast hip-hop. Nice humble man for sure, I still have his business card.
lmao kendrick said "those compton tours are fucked up and are an exploitation" and it turns out he's Game's stepfather lmao
when he say that ?
Kickstand has me rolling, that guy is a legend, and Hodari seems like a chill dude.
Hope both these guys keep in good health.
The old man in the wheelchair that started rapping though!!!
he had #barz yo
Still trying to get signed 40 years later
This was 24 amazing minutes. Thank you, Pitchfork. Thank you.
Been on this tour and it's amazing, highly recommend it!!
Wasn't Kendrick Lamar laughing when Nardwuar showed him the flyer for these tours?
He's really well-spoken and wise. I'm happy he changed his life around.
*Cruisin down the street in my 64*
just stop....shits getting annoying.
jocking the bitches slapping the hoes
+brian bravo Went to the park to get the scoop
+Andre Bravo if ur gonna quote a rap song please learn the lyrics first
LeBron's Hairline damn babe calm down
Awesome one! Thoroughly enjoyed it!
This dude is pretty damn honest.
You just know that Hodari been getting head shots from Jada with the false promise of the Game being on a joint with her. So funny.
this way the real HIP HOP TOUR my hood, nice man.
I'm from new Zealand and if i ever get the opportunity to travel there, I will.I think he is doing a great job for his hood and his people and educates you on important issues in american history.The world needs guys like him.respect.
Went after years ago with my boys just turned 21 and this tour was awesome the bro gives you abit of a history lesson and stop at some gangster spots the soul food feed as well not too shabby
I'm def gonna check out a tour when I hit up Compton.
Fuck La fake phonies city.
This place looks like paradise compared to the hoods/favelas in rio in brasil
man those hoods are like heaven , i think they should see my hood
Which place has more influence on Tha world
Jason Dean Somali hoods ? :P
Pros an cons who can survive gangsters paradise higher up an top
Fucked you hmsconducted Igot some. Thing that ya can rap those lips around
Salute my Brotha! You're an actually good educator. Good and detailed explanations. 100!!!
love this video didnt want it to end im coming to get this tour next year seriously
This brotha is very knowledgeable, the type of knowledge you achieve only through experience. Good documentary.
i need to go on this tour !
Hodari, I appreciate this . everywhere i travel i always want to see the real deal to feel the true vibe.
I found this very informative and I have lived in LA for 3 years
Its not the area that is dangerous, its the lifestyle of the individual that is or isn't dangerous.
You just know Game is not getting on that track lol
2017 And still very impressive work. Keep up the good work bro!
GOD be with you.
Man full of wisdom. Respect!
GREAT HUSTLE MAN
I see alot of comments about it being like a zoo for white ppl but I would go on this tour myself first of cuz I'm not from California so I would love to see where alot of the greats who contributed to hip hop started
"do not go to East LA and do not go to South Central LA because those people are fucked up and they'll kill you" LMAO..a little overstated but it could happen
Love the way they filmed the interview shot!
I just listened to “Welcome to Your Fantasy”. Good stuff!
I went on this tour last week and it was dope,if u ever want to go on the Compton hood tour check this one out!
+Jig Mendoza I'll be visiting in Nov - do these tours get full fast?
Yeah but I'm sure u will get a chance to go.just make a appointment
+Jig Mendoza oh awesome thank you!! I just read a few reviews on Trip Advisor too, definitely doesn't look like something to be missed!
IDK how to feel about this, a part of me feels like hes exploiting the city, another part feels like he's hustling and making a living so fuck it and another part feels like he's enlightening people... IDK what to think of it all
prob a bit of all but K believe mostly enlightening people
+Daniel Caspiani I*
That's what I'm sayin
better him than an outsider
I went on this tour, literally the best thing I did in the states. He is top bloke and a great experience.
Great Doc..
Man looks like a hybrid of ghostface killa and big pun.
He's the stepfather of the rapper game awesome
Very good documentary! Thumbs up!
I can't wait to take the tour!
this nigga hustlin
+Darkmind foreal
+LongJerryCurl lmfaooo @ yo name
it looks so cool to live in compton!
pokyme looks, as "they" say, can be deceiving.
cool?! scary as hell bro. gtfoh
Nothing cool about it
great tour hodari
very educational,i wish they would show stuff like this in the public school systems
Gotta love the 30 seconds after 12:10.
aka 12:40 ?
no man, Kickstand the Master Man!
right
Rodney King beat the shit out of a Korean store owner and sped through public streets.
So? the police are there to protect and serve not beat the shit out of people, if the Korean store owners family beat Rodney king like that then cool, but police get paid to do a job not beat people.
Lucas Meyer its people like you that will end up in hell
this was a really dope documentary
Planning a trip to LA and this is on my LA SoCal list to do!
KICKSTAND FOR PRESIDENT
Compton is beautiful compared to Detroit!
Hell yes bro.
But still dangerous asf
+John no it isn't. I even know a white vlogger who strolls around there
+Seanus32 during the day
***** It's seen to be unsafe for some white folk. Just sayin
im comin from wales and ima be in LA for a tour maaan!!looks amazin. keep itup
That was a cool doc. Very good job!
I'm from L.A. born an raised..Compton watts L.A. not a joke an no place to tour ..u trippin brotha
Are these tours still going on?
I just booked my flight to LA yesterday. I'm celebrating my birthday weekend this coming July. This would be an awesome Birthday gift to myself.
Great video!
True shit I lived right around the corner from Adam's funeral home on spring ave!
Angel Silva That's fucked up. You'd never see something like that in my country, Ireland. We party with the deceased for three days and celebrate their life in their own home.
A drive through funeral home seems so clinical and cold.
***** we party too bro chill, I'm not an ambassador to Compton or South Central but if you watched the mini documentary you would be able to say that Compton and Ireland are different worlds. Keep up the love and the good vibes!
They got funeral homes like that in Oakland lol
+Pragmatic1 Ultramagnetic
Really... Apparently some "people" are raised without being taught morals, ethics, and respect. They don't even have the mental capacity to conduct themselves in a funeral home. Our prisons prove this.
+FoMoCo1 you know all that stuff about morals, ethics, and respect is all determined by your surroundings right? How was it that you managed to be at the top of the moral, ethic and respect stool? You can't judge how others act and say they're wrong or right. you can judge and say wether you agree or dont. but i don't think you or anyone qualifies what is morally okay or respectable or ethical. Prisons don't care who occupy them, they don't care at all. as a matter of fact neither do the people who run the prisons. as long as the prisons are full, they dont care who goes in. you're fucking dumb.
Bompton
interesting video and its nice to know something about this place.
the houses actually look really nice. really enjoyed this video though, was cool to see the neighborhood
Sounds like Hodari doesn't have a strong relationship with Game.
I like how he didn't wear red when he got to Compton
lol i dindt notuce that
Cool concept. Hodari seems to be a really nice dude too. I might just take the tour next time I'm in L.A.
LMAO @ The Handicap Tag on his rear view mirrior
if I could go into Compton (being a white as snow ) I would go there with all my work stuff and try to do as many free tattoos as I can in the time being there...just give away art...maybe not the same like money. .but I'm not rich...so I just give what I can offer.... just give everyone the tattoo that means a lot to them
+Bobby Schaffer I'm sorry...to much shit to read...
+Joe Rich don't talk shit about other homies town
+nick cross You can go to Compton and be white. I am white and have been to Watts and Compton several times and I am still alive. I even use to work there, you're going to be fine. If anything you'll get robbed because you have money not because you're white.

+Gabriel Garcia i understand..i'm not saying anything about color...i'm just saying... It would be nice to help out... Paint some houses..give some food..or little luxury ... Just because,you can..and they would feel good about it
WOW...What a Tour!!!
Good to see that my neighborhood has really improved.
Lmfao @ the old guy in the red and black walking as slow as a fucking tree sloth.
I want a tour of Compton in real life I mean. I want to go out there I want to visit south central L.A.
+Sharnette Burns What is it that you find so fascinating?
+FoMoCo1 lol idk maybe that it looks similar to in the movies plus I'm a curious person

Very informative video.
This is actually great.
im white but i want to got to Compton cali not as a tourist or somethin just ta see the classic spots i hear in music and really see it for once. im not afraid at this rate cause i dont got much else ta live for
Compton aint nuthin to be afraid of but go around talking bullshit and you'll get your ass handed to you its not a warzone like people picture it.
Tahir Kastrati true. Its chilled a lot since the 90s but there are still places that are like warzones. Places like detroit and chicago are like warzones tho.
Compton Is A Peace Of Heaven Compare to Rio de Janeiro...
Bloods And Crips are Kids Compare C.V's and A.D.A's here...
we live in a Truly Hell!
A lot of crips and bloods are actually kids
+Jawdn They are all kids...
+PROJECT REVIVAL No they're not
+Jawdn I repeat...(from experience)..they are all kids.
PROJECT REVIVAL No they're not
Did this tour September 2022 it was amazing book it so amazing 👏
Great tour man a must if ur in L.A
that asian women is FINE!
Nahh. Your standards are low. She's def better looking than the average Asian bitch tho.
Big Mike 😂👍
Game was really a stripper :D lol
this is awesome
What is compelling to me about this is what Hodari precluded to in the beginning: These [people] at these concerts have it in their heads what Compton and the hood is like when they have never been there. This was definitely an interesting take on "the hood life" as Hodari sees it, in the past and present. He tells it "real." Thanks for posting!!
this is so bad lmfao
I was into this until you said you were an antithiest i have no problem with u being an athiest but you dont have to de program peoples belief thats crazy
Roman lumpkin why?
Yeah just cause the churches around him were for profit doesnt mean that everything is like that
Dope idea! Much respect! Play on player!!!
really down to earth honest dude. nice one pitchfork
If this guy thinks compton is tuff, I wonder what his opinion will be when hes in hell? XD
ItWasEnnui I'm a sinner just like you and this so called "anti-theist" so yeah I may say things I shouldn't from time from time but the difference is that I accept what Jesus did on the cross for me and ever other sinner. I didn't like what he said that he "de-programs people who believe in God" as if he KNOWS there is no God and he doesn't so if he comes across someone who believes then he should live and let live instead of leading people to the road of hell he is on.
majinhiei7
Dudes likes you scare the crap out of me.... really. Are you serious with all that stuff???
jacekptka You can ridicule me all you want but instead of going back and forth with you on the internet i'll pray for you instead.
majinhiei7 gods not real, sorry to burst your bubble.
***** You didn't burst anything. You can believe anything you want because God gave us the free will to do so but everyone knows he is real it's written on your heart. Atheists are just trying to convince themselves there's no God but they will all find out soon enough.
Cool dude we need more videos of this guy.
I like this video. The dude is mad cool and real. I fell in love with Cali the first time I visited last year. Great video
Awesome idea
could listen to this dude for hours
pitchfork you are sick! im planning to go to LA next year too see the hood, im a huge TDE fan and my life evloves around there music, i deffs have too come sort something out when i come over for a tour,
im from melb, austrailia
This really old guy is a very good rapper.
word to the people!
Good stuff 👏👏
Damn! I didn't know there was tours for that! I gotta go there.
Go there urself homie, tours are so lame. I venture to South Central nearly everyday and you got to walk the streets to feel what the place is like.
Gotta luv the Entrepreneur in him!
Do ya thing boi!
This is so mad watching from Australia
I'm visiting L.A next month. I am going to take this tour.
Classic blessing
