Hello everyone, the 2nd episode of East New York is here: ua-cam.com/video/HnYpE1wphCY/v-deo.html
Content Update:
-I have an Amish series coming soon.
-I'm hoping to do a series on Appalachia (the left behind part) and Native Americans (hopefully the Navajo Nation but I'm open to other tribes).
Do any of you have contacts of interesting characters that want to bring me into Appalachia or the Native American world?
If so please email me at: contact@petersantenello.com
Thanks!
Just finished watching, brilliant as always. Time for part 2!
Holmes County, Ohio - the nation's largest Amish community!!!!!
Wassup Peter Santenello we got to get in tune I want share my story In JACKSON MS
🔥 Content!
Communication is key!
That lady fighting for awareness about depression was for me the best type of person you can hope to find in this part of the woods. God bless her!
Yes 👍✌️
My exact thoughts makes me believe there are good people out there
She just recruit for church. Church make money out of those people. Don't be fooled.
Only sanity
Foreal
I want to shout out Ms. Wandra in this video whose out in the community helping people with suicide prevention, and depression!!! God bless her 🙏🏾
Me too 👍🏼🌅🙏🏻
We need more like her.
@@iamatlantis1
👍🏼🙏🏻
She seems like a diamond of a person.
i liked her energy
I was wondering what is so addictive about this channel, for me it seems to be how empathetic and devoid of judgement Peter comes across. Faced with some people who are being ignored, judged and written off, Peter appears to be open to learning about their struggles when even their own governments can't/won't. Incredible journalism from a real human perspective.
You just answered ur own question
Right? Peter is the perfect guy for this. I don't know that there are too many other people who would be able to do what he does, especially the way he comes across and is welcomed by everyone. That's pretty darn awesome. Kudos to you Peter
Very well put together 🫱🏼🫲🏾 no matter skin color our interest questions and ideas connect us with different people in all walks of life
Only sometimes.....🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨 there are times when he is...you just gotta listen to his line of questioning....
100%!❤
I grew up in the 90s in a bad neighborhood of St Petersburg, Russia. Right after the collapse of the Soviet Union. There are differences, of course, but strikingly so many similarities with the NY projects. The vibe is quite familiar
maybe the us is also on the verge of collapse??
Lol ye def bro. Lots of black ppl during the soviet union
@@reviewsmore2946 Lots? You've got stats? There were some in a couple of big cities after an international student festival and some from friendly socialist countries. But compared to the population the numbers were tiny. If you didn't work or study at the university, the chances of meeting one live were slim to none
@IgorMikeshin you bozo I was being sarcastic. Obv there were non
@@reviewsmore2946 i think he means the buildings themselves and everybody stacked on top each other
“Respect is universal, you lack that you lack common sense” incredible
That guy was very well spoken
Yeah lacking respect for another can also end badly in certain situations and areas
all they are missing is the will to work.
What the fuck are they doing all day when normal people work?
Only them self to blaim
Thats where entitled ppl beg to differ, and are protected by law
Telling the truth isn't disrespect.
Those ice cups actually blew my mind!
Same. It’s smart though, brings in more business. I’d buy my drinks there if I could get an ice cup haha. Also, love your channel Collin!
Yesss 😂 never have seen this b4 !
Why is NYC a step forward in almost everything?! Smart, smart idea!
@@cashier6 I don't think ice cups are new thing. We have them here in Poland in ours 7/11s
Why because they weren't counterfeit
Videos like this make me wish we could all just wake up one day and never be violent towards each other. From the kids on the playground to the elders just sitting on the benches, everyone deserves to feel safe.
I was born n raised in bk and I'm still there now, idk what it is exactly but this is the first time I don't feel safe when I'm out...even the 80s-90s never felt this dark idk...really sucks though
Cash is a cool dude. Respect for him welcoming Peter into his area and rolling with him.
My parents own Chinese restaurant since 1997 in the neighborhood one by pink houses and one across the street from cypress hill projects . I see a lot of customers in the videos. Mitch is a regular .People here never gave us problems . As long as you show respect , mind your business and give back to the community they will always respect you back .
Did Your parents gave back to the community?
@@kzfive well, they provide some good chinese take out atleast
I bet you done seen some wild asss shit
@@kzfive give *👀🤣
@@kzfive yeah they pay taxes so you can collect your unemployment check.
I have so much love for the lady doing depression awareness! Mrs.Wandrs, you're a blessing!!!
Come as you R
Megan lee check ya inbox
Depression is scary and horrible
ya she must have serious presonal story of pain
Doesn’t look like theres a lot of help for people there and she’s fighting their corner as much as one person can.
I started my teaching career in East New York on Shepherd Ave between Blake and Dumont, about 10 minutes for Cypress. Was an education for me for sure. A lot of obstacles those kids face, but also a tremendous amount of resilience and talent amongst them. Honestly, the talent shows always blew me away.
My first year I idiotically left my purse with my Iphone and about $60 in cash on a bench in the Shepherd Ave subway station. When I realized what I had done, I came back to the station and asked the attendant if anyone had turned in a purse, and there it was waiting for me. A lot of good people living in very tough conditions.
You're like Michelle Pfeiffer lol jk my sister is a white teacher in Brooklyn
You know what makes you special? You know how to get along with folks. Your skin color doesn't matter. You know how to treat people. Appreciate the videos.
Love the woman leading the fight against depression and also the way Peter gave her time on cam and the way he showed appreciation was dope
You think maybe they could have spent more time with their children across the entire community to solve the problems, also eat less.
Wandra!
Yes 100%
Wandra She was so soothing i could hear sesame street sweet little back music for a quiet moment in her hope.
Come as you are
Best part is Cashmere progressively getting more tipsy throughout the video 😂
Living 🌊
Is now the time to let him know we’re moving away from plastic cups and straws or is there bigger issues in the projects?
Yah when he threw his jacket in that dirty water to show his bullet wound I could tell he was starting to feel it
I did notice his drink was changing colors.....
Cashmere was waiting for this moment all his life
What are any of these MEN doing for the community? He didn't even offer to help her with her stroller, you let the stranger do it!!
Good question.
I appreciate their willingness to share, but we all have a duty to improve our communities.
I pray that more of these men recognize that calling and work to improve theirs.
Lived in Brownsville for a couple of months in 2008. As a South African who's been through some terrible hoods and areas that are way poorer, there were a couple of times we walked Brownsville at night and you could feel its a scary place. We used to finish work 2-3 in the morning then head to tge Mcdonalds in the heart Brownsville and walk down home...Scary neighborhood. Ended up moving to Hells Kitchen.
Well glad you safe but it’s not like that maybe ifk
Not gonna lie, I've never heard of this UA-camr before, even though he has a large channel and following. This video got recommended by the algorithm and I have to say I have such massive respect for this dude for doing this. Subscribed.
oui, moi aussie.
Same. Algorithm brought me and glad it did.
You’ll see a lot of videos of him checking out other people and city’s. It’s cool to watch.
i agree, its a fresh view of travel vlogging that usually gets lost in "look how bad this place is!!!" to see these people for who they are and not patronizing them with dumb shit is great.
Same. The algo gave me the Amish videos four days ago. They were great!
There is one thing in common with several other videos of yours that the key seems to be people just want to vibe and be easy to one another. Respect and you’ll get respect. I’m hoping we will continue to all get better.
@ALX 8721 🙏
Your spot on the issue is conflict between men is natural and the problem lies in that they choose violence because they almost have to when they need to resolve a problem
Imagine what the world be like without govt boot causing division and hatred amongst the peoples
That's right "most" people who run into problems no matter where they are hanging with the wrong crowd or asking for it by their actions/words. That doesn't mean you can't run into trouble irregardless but usually you were doing something putting yourself at risk.
the camera helps.
Cashmere starting the day with that drink and progressively getting more intoxicated through the day was funny. To think he starts every day like that is a tad worrying, but each to their own.
Word, yo
Not working, not looking for a job, getting drunk and high and all on the working people’s taxes.
@@dietlindvonhohenwald448to these people they’re a product of their environment and either don’t know any better or feel like they’re not good enough to get out of the world they live in..
@@dietlindvonhohenwald448do you know him? How do you know if he doesn’t work? Could be a day off. But keep assuming
That’s what they do in Brownsville and East New York.
I've really enjoyed watching these videos to take a glimpse into other people's world's, especially into the toughest corners of humanity and get a real understanding and honestly feel inspired to act. Your approach to interviewing people as an open minded student really shows when people open up and share their message compared to any other time they've seen someone behind the camera with an agenda, an angle for self gain instead of trying to connect people of all walks of life and share the message of peace and hope
People respect violence? No they fear violence enough to respect someone who threatens violence. But fear isn’t respect. It’s instinct to protect oneself. Real respect doesn’t need threats. It’s voluntary
But people who live through violence don't understand that. This is a look into how the world really is.
@@MommaARA the world there … anywhere else and it’s very simple that violence is a cover for incompetence and cowardice.
@jBravo no, watch back and he say that violence gets you respect. Right after the universal part he says that violence gets someone respect. Clearly
@@Star-qh5wp It sounded to me like he was saying that some people don't understand repsect minus violence.Like some people can't be reasoned with and see kindness and respect as weakness.It sounded like hes saying in places that are really rough,people might not respond well to you being nice and respectful,but everyone everywhere understand respect me or get your jaw rocked.
@@FATMIKED5183 well I know that. Shows tho why it’s impossible to raise well adjusted healthy kids in that environment
Peter deserves lots of credit for making this channel. I've watched a few vids already, and this is actual investigative journalism. Not the glitzy and glamorized big-budget productions, but the real deal. I'm loving these vids. Great job, dude.
Peter trying to keep up with NY slang is hilarious 😂. Much respect
Living in the Projects is a gift and a curse. It's affordable housing for people that need it. It was a close nit community. The village raised the kids. I'm a 80's baby. Summer time projects was one of the funniest places to be. We played outside all day and made up games. We were very creative and innovative. Fights happened but we were good the next day. On the downside was the violence and oppression. The strong minded and strong willed will find a way out. It's meant to help you get on your feet and get out of there. I'm not from New York. But this is "Projects" across the US.
It's a curse. You're usually raised by the wrong people when drugs are involved.
The shirtless dude had some wisdom to say, beyond the fact that he’s the only person that can walk around shirtless. He was actually talking some truth
except the part where he said he was a rapper and lied about not being a negative influence on the community.
@@richjones7313 you're just assuming that he raps about negative shit.
@@PPG61st 国家没收了你的土地。 荣耀归于中国
And that truth seems to be a simple-minded truth. Not a complex, multi-faceted way of thinking.
@@WayzYs Pretty sure that goes without saying..it's the default for 99% of "rappers"
Peter, You have gained a new friend my brother. After seeing you help that mother up the stairs with her stroller shows and prove that you are a SOLID AND STAND UP MAN. You were extra focus video recording and listening to Cash story but still took the time out to help that mother. One Love from Port Chester, NY!
He’s not your brother. Stop showing acceptance just because a white dude showed COMMON, basic, human courtesy to some black folks.
@@miamitten1123 Damn your going hard for no reason lol 😂😂😂, what’s wrong with you?
@@policestraightharassing1634 she right though. The original commenter Driding because he a whyt dude doing basic human courtesy.
@@BoredomandVanity I'm black and I wouldn't even go near this area and for him to do it and he's a white dude... It's means alot.
@@miamitten1123 That's were your wrong. By genetics alone, we are all attached to each other. Your hate does show clearly though. The people that always gotta make clear the race of someone when talking is why racism will never die out. Poor excuse of an example of a human being with your comments...do better. Be above it.
You're already out there doing exactly what I want to do once I finish school. You're helping people share their humanity with the world in a way that their humanity can't be denied or ignored. I appreciate your work. It's awesome on so many levels.
I like how they all just hangin out, drinking alcohol and smoking weed in the middle of the day, but like, they aint kids or teens - they grown men!
Shout out to ma man Cashmere, though - a true legend in his own mind!🎉
i wish i could do nothing all day but drink, loiter and roll dice. and get my high rise apartment paid by public housing!
Is anybody working?
No Working! That Is How They Roll! Ya Nu What I' am Sayin😮
unbiased, educational content with real poeple - always look forward to your uploads!
Indeed 💚

People not from there need to understand they shouldn't just go walking around East New York. And NEVER go there at night!
I was born in East New York/ Bushwick area. We lived in a 3 family brownstone which my grandparents owned we are very traditional Italians, even had a goomba living with us who I thought was my uncle. The first floor tenants were a black couple who ran a barber shop out of the store front in the same building. My parents left me with these wonderful people all the time, a barbershop with old black men who put up with a blond pigtailed brat..me. My grandfather discovered the barber stabbed to death one morning. The violence of the neighborhood was just like now. We moved to Rockville Centre within a month and my grandparents sold. What's old is new again. The neighborhood was once beautiful. It's up to them.
what was the barber stabbing about?
@@rocketman3770 a robbery.
Send em all to Liberia.
@@KaMil-gw2qr Damnnnnn edgy

"Stay true to yourself. I give respect out first" - Words everyone should live by. Great journalism, real love on the field.
mitchell is such a character love his energy and message
I grew up in a rough neighborhood within a subsidized housing community. I think it was a blessing and a curse. My experiences growing up created compassion for others but it can also create hopelessness when a person remains in poverty too long. I’m thankful because I had an opportunity to purchase a property and paid off my home last year. Incredibly thankful!
It’s not going to be that hard for a white girl in America to make it, now is it.
unnecessary comment but ok
congrats thats incredible
some of us don't get the opportunity, even when you get out of the hood.
Feel we are creating a culture of people more accepting to failures and that's encouraging more drug addicts and setting the bar lower in American society
What I like about your style is that you don't judge and go in giving people an opportunity to share their stories. A lot of people just want to be heard and you give them that platform to do so and giving the rest of us an opportunity to see things in a different light.
Thanks LR, that’s what I’m always aiming for so I’m glad it came through this way.
He should have asked them if they’re planning to get vaccinated
@Sheldon stfu Sheldon
@Sheldon you commented 17 times on this channel just to talk shit. Tragic
@@PeterSantenello you what? Shooting ducks 🦆 💥?? 🤣
Peter is a brilliant interviewer... the definition of an urban anthropologist! Love yout work mate, hugs from Chile.
Wonderful Wandra. ❤ The world needs more people like her.
Channels like this are the ONLY HOPE for our country. Well done, sir. You're showing people that would never encounter this world just how human we all are. Bravo.
Jesus is the only hope.
Of course they’re normal people, they just don’t hold jobs.
I dont know about the only hope… a little bit of an exaggeration
Only hope, for starters stop glorifying the street culture/G-rap/ect..
@@wokemiddle1205 don’t hold jobs are he only interviewed people who don’t have a job?
Brooklyn is vast; it is very vast. It has many neighborhoods, from Williamsburg to Bushwick and Cobble Hills to Brownsville. Brooklyn by itself could be a major city alone.
It would be the 4th largest city in the US by population!
It used to be its own city
It Is- The same could be said for Queens and The Bronx...Brooklyn is Amazing
@Real Logan I've lived in Bushwick. That Dominican and Puerto Rican thing is slowly going away. They are getting priced out. Unless they own their place, they might sell with profit and move. The trendy Millennials, who can't afford Manhattan or Williamsburg have moved to Bushwick.
At one point in history, Brooklyn was an independent city, it was one of the largest city in the U.S. From Coney Island to Los Sures.
I'm a 45 year old white man, and these are my BROTHERS!!!!
Born n East New York!
Loved the positivity and leadershio of the communities OG and younger generations contribution to helping it!
Respect - that took sand. It was very interesting hearing such raw and honest opinions - I especially liked that lady who was saying how all cops should not suffer for the actions of some cops, in spite of her personal loss. That was heavy hitting, and in direct contrast to a lot of current social media and political commentary. Awesome !
‼️The peeps who stay in these project living conditions - are there mostly because they love the game, they're part of the violence and druhgz 💉 ❄ 🏔 ‼️
No one can say everyone of these peeps ihn the projects don't have enough money at some time there - to be able tuh use that money to take A bus, plane or just drive 🚗 and keep on driving 🚗 until they find work in a community that excepts them and they accept as well, if they want to raise the possibility of living a full life into their senior years by a great percentage - this is what they need to do - no doubt 👏 👍‼️
NEWCASTLE CALIFORNIA,USA 🇺🇲
@@BIGPIE3333 Agree, leave the projects, hop on a bus, stop in a small town, get a job, get a life. Most small communities across America are open to new people who who want to work hard and make a life for themselves.
@@BIGPIE3333 I think that opinion is more or less delusional or misinformed. Better housing would involve a better credit score, having a job paying a certain amount for at least 6 months and also having the capital to complete a move after having traveled to another place and secured a new job. Many of them dont even have a car or $1000 dollars in the bank.
I dont think you know anything about the people who live in projects and I wonder how many times you have just driven to some new state and started a new life. People who live in the projects often knew no other type of housing and were never groomed for any kind of mobility. Only for stagnation by people who like having a dependent voter base.
Most people in the hood think that way tbh. Its the media that tells you otherwise
@@mikesuniverse1789 Gotta agree. These guys posted the dumbest comments ive ever seen on UA-cam. Also not everyone is the same in life, some people are smarter or more driven, need valiant people to create a culture of prosperity and not plunder so that people at the bottom are in decent shape.
"Come as you are." Love this video.. Thanks for inviting us Cashmere!
Your welcome
"it's like god put him here to bring the community together, and then he took him up there with him" holy sh*t what a beautiful statement.
Another great video Peter! Thanks!
I was slightly disenchanted when the lady needed help with the stroller
And the other guy was too busy with his booze, cigar and phone. Looked selfish from my POV! Glad you helped her!
I enjoyed this. Mitchell Aimss is a legend. He's right.
He can spit
His music is trash and contradicts what he wants for his neighborhood. That's part of the issue. Say one thing and do another.
@@sayulitalyfe5299 You don’t know hip hop
@@redcomic619 🤣 telling the story just glorifies the youth to do the same. I not only listened to hiphop to gangster rap to drill. I've lived that life for 15 years before changing my whole world and thinking better for my self and my family and became a man... It took 20 years and glad I'm alive to be able to say those lyrics are trash
@@sayulitalyfe5299 par i spit what i live my life like ..the youth life style..my ninjas life style.. my music is unlimited I i hold vast knowledge. You sound asinine to speak on what you not know of.. I make music from other people's perspective from my own perspective I make music based on Naruto the Japanese animated series I got all kind of shit
bro but I specialize in that street shit. I did more for the Youth out here on these streets than you ever did for anybody in your life bro
He shouted out police that aren’t crooked and acknowledged they need the police for the elders. This is the energy we need. Accountability for police but not 100% hate. Dude has some awesome perspective on life. Hope he roses up and takes his friends and family with him.
Ye, for criminals its the police thats crooked. Lol
Acknowledging that not all police officers are bad people and arguing that the police as an institution (not the concept of policing) is bad are two different things.
Agreed
@@Woodsaras lol mostly yes
@@JSmusiqalthinka Sure, i think anyone can get behind the idea that cops should wear bodycams and be required to provide video proof of their interactions with people, i think with the power they have should come massive responsibility to be fully transparent, but people aren't talking about that, people are talking dumb s*** about getting rid of police and replacing it with f*****g social workers.
The concept of your work is refreshing. The stark contrast between this location and your Appalachian locations is remarkable. But each displays a pride in where they're from.
Mitch is so real! It's really about the community. And it's starts with the youth. Giving back nurtures to giving back. Stay True!
I worked as a security guard at Linden Plaza a few years ago I was there for almost 2 years and I'm so glad I made it out alive! Much respect for the people of East New York!

So true.
I know a guy from Brooklyn. Grew up in the ghetto. Now he owns a nice house with 12 acres on the west coast. Said he has 270k in savings. Works 6 days a week and runs circles around his co workers. He has the accent but if you ask him he will tell you "Fk NY". Some people make excuses, others make choices.
It is very nice of that Mitchell fellow to meet with you on his day off from work.
I grew up in similar circumstances; I really appreciate this authentic experience. There are so many gems of people in the hood.
This is exactly the kind of documentation that should be in main stream media. Excellent informative video.
No one wants see that shit.

As someone who was born, raised & still reside in rural small town, I find this so amazing. We live in same country but our lives are so extremely different yet I can see so many similarities. Bless everyone & thanks for another awesome video!!
That's why I refuse to listen to pompous Europeans who live in much smaller countries. Their leftist ideas won't work here.
Just research cultural differences.
Bc at the end of the day we are ppl no matter where you are from and I'm coming from Philly
rural life sucks. I get it
Your life isn't close to how these people live, and thank God u dont... these people are on a serious lower level in so many ways who admit they prey on each other and of course anyone else
Awsome the lady helping the community. God bless her
I have always loved how new Yorkers talk over each other while still being present to one another. It's extraordinarily rare in the world.
I grew up in East New York, during the worse times. I was born in 1970s and lived in this area from 1983- 1994. I have seen violence that active duty soldiers have not witnessed. I have witnessed first hand the crack epidemic, Aids epidemic, and the beginning of gang life in Brooklyn. I can tell you also, there is love, laughter, respect, and a want and desire to succeed just like any other human being from people who have survived that era. If you want to know what East New York needs, they told you implicitly resources. But if you want to expand on that I could tell you that people in this neighborhood are some of the most generous people on earth and all they need is opportunity. Everyone has an aspiration to fulfill the American Dream. Creating jobs in the community is the best way to help people. Imagine, having manufacturing, and training in East New York. Real jobs for real people that want to propel themselves. We invest so much of our resources on bullets and bombs for the Ukraine, we invest in prisons, but we need to invest on our brethren in East New York. What are the jobs of the right now? Poor people are the hardest workers on earth. Lets push for schools to have customer service jobs in the schools where girls and boys can learn phone etiquette. Why are these jobs shipped to India? or other countries? We have untapped labor force right here. Why not create a teenage workforce to grow food in these food deserts and pay them. Why don't we have real training for people available in this community? Like HVAC training, electrician, mechanical, computer programming, engineering. Talent is spread across the entire community. This community doesn't need nickels and dollars, they need opportunities to change their life. Real Economic opportunities. That is what East New York needs. Police reform is needed. I believe that anyone who wants to be a sergeant or higher in the police force should be required to live in a poor neighborhood for a period of 60 days. They need to eat their, sleep their and learn how to communicate with the people that live in poor communities. If the police leadership is good, that leadership filters down to the police force. Good attitudes are learned by the rank and file form their leaders. I made it out of poverty, but being poor is not a sin and in many instances it isn't even a choice. Ask your self why do people commit most crimes? Most crimes are crimes of financial gain. Imagine if that financial gain could be sought and readily available to the people of East New York? These are some of the most industrious people on earth.
"We invest so much of our resources on bullets and bombs for the Ukraine"- government invest on it, because they'll get tons of money back. Either of gun trafficking and Ukraine has a huge export of agriculture products and USA want to put a hand on it as well as Russia. "Why are these jobs shipped to India?"- because the salary is much lower there. "Why don't we have real training for people available in this community?"- because it's harder to control educated people by the media. At least this is my opinion. "I made it out of poverty" - I did it too and know how difficult it is, so congrats, I hope the best for you in the future!
The fact people are surprised by any of this is amazing to me.
It's not just picket fences and houses.
There are poor white neighborhoods all over America, even trailer parks, they don't go around acting like that and killing people. I grew up in a poor white polish neighborhood near Detroit, everyone was poor and some on government assistant. There was zero violence. This is not normal.
@@LisaLisa815 I don’t think those two situations are comparable. Vio-- in these communities stems from sl-a--. Of course it’s not normal.
@@LisaLisa815 that's incorrect this is actually very normal across all cities in America whether white or black it's just that whites aren't as police as heavily as darker skin people are which should be known fact by now.
I as a member of the East for my entire life can say the violence at one point was worse and now it's much better so it's not as terrible as it seems. Poverty wherever it is, whether we like it or not, encourages crime and that's just a sad reality of the capitalist country we have.
@@LisaLisa815 There are certainly high-violence white, Latino, black, Native, Asian, etc. communities all over the country; they are not all urban, either. Your implication that it is race that makes some people more violent than others is simply misguided.
Him saying "Everybody get a turn" at 17:40 in reference to the cycle of crime throughout different neighborhoods is chilling to think about
You're really good at listening to people. I am very impressed.
Peter is such an innocent guy LMAO seeing him talk so casually through the worst parts of the world is so funny to me dude is untouched
I dont think its neccessarily innocence. More him trying to be unbiased
@@1999Azzz he’s never grown up in a environment like that. He’s innocent compared to them. He hasn’t see / been through what the residents in that neighborhood have so yes he is innocent.
worst parts of the world?? brooklyn???? bro stfu
@@shanemcgrath2809 you go to the right part of Crooklyn yeah you have a chance of dying
@@roscoeschickenandwaffles6317 you’re not from here you don’t even know what crooklyn means😭 relax bud go back to your 9-5 you have a higher chance of walking through Harlem and dying than you do Hollywood LOL
Respect is 🔑. I was very happy to hear what Cashmere said at the end. God is what’s needed, and by all races, backgrounds, etc…. I feel a big change coming. Pray people, we can live in love. God bless you all
Peace n blessings
@@BKCASHMERETCA my man. Yo, I really appreciated you in this video. The youth need role models like you. I see you responding quickly on my comment. I hope this video brings you new fans and gives you the push you’ve been praying for. New sub, going to listen to your message. One love
Appreciate that more than you know peace and blessings to you and yours
"We might fight it out, but we ain't really killin' each other LIKE THAT like that" 😅😂 Most New York shit I ever heard lol
Found you completely randomly when your appalachia video got recommended to me and this is by far one of the best channels on youtube
From a hasidic jewish torah celebration to the projects of East NY, you have to love the range on this channel.
Peter is so super cool because he Listens!
I grew up in Hasidic Williamsburg and we had projects in the neighborhood . High crime and plenty stories around the projects. The rest of the neighborhood was safe. Nowadays it’s a different story. Fighting crime became racist so there was just a hold up by gunpoint outside the main synagogue on Rodney street. I’m glad I moved away. They are getting more brazen by the day.
@@juliegoldman411 all you have to do is not give your opinion and listen to the people you’re interviewing and you’re fine. Peters documenting peoples stories.
@@shawnkay5462 , Attentive listening is an art unto it self.
@@shawnkay5462 , yes I totally agree.... do you question that??
I love that social media was brought up near the end. People are finally starting to really understand how bad social media is for people, mostly youth. It's so dangerous to have instant uncensored access to the world at such a young age. When I was younger my parents could easily protect me from things that I didn't need to know at that age. I was able to be a kid... It's just not the same anymore.
We grew up in different worlds I guess.. I was a kid in the 70s and 80s, and easily found out about the grittier side of life. There was plenty of access to multiple media even then, albeit a slower process. Porn mags, niche zines, true crime books, heavy metal/punk music, etc etc.
I grew up in the Boston projects and what I realize is that we all struggle the same
UA-cam is Social Media.
Devils advocate:
How does teaching a kid to live in a sheltered version of the world help them to function in the real world?
Wouldn't it be better for them to see things how things really are while they are at the most receptive age for your guidance?
@@foolapprentice3321yea for your guidance as a parent, not instagram and tiktok guidance
That lady is spot on about police reform. It’s not ever going to work.
Love this video. Some good people out there in ENY. Respect.
"You lack respect then you lack common sense" what another great insight. I've always been fascinated with hiphop from a kid, I notice the change of how the younger generation, my generation lack respect not only for each other but also for the older generation. I love the way Peter can instantly adapt to every environment and still remain to calm, communicative and just.. listen to how others live without showing any form of judgement. So glad I discovered your video (the LA Chicanos) earlier today...
“All we can try to do is be in sync with the matrix” what a fuckin line
☸
Why so?
Trying to understand the meaning
@@user-jx9ln5qo9q its hard to explain. Its like having dreams of the future every night and living the next day according to the dream.
💯🎯
Peter, you remind me of my little brother, he's a year younger than I am, down to earth, gets along with everyone. Just wants life to be good. I love your channel. If my brother had a mike in his hand this is what it would look like.
Respect, be humble, and you’re good everywhere you go. Basic street knowledge that a lot of people forget for having a big ego
Mutual respect & common courtesy is EVERYTHING!!!
More people would do good in bad neighborhoods and prison if they'd just carry themselves differently and have more respect and humility
I lived in ENY for 3 years... Never had any issues... I received a lot of love from everyone in the neighborhood... I never got involved with the innercity street pharmacists and other nonsense... I never had an issue...
They fear violence, but they don't respect it. They hate it. It's time to change that attitude. Everyone has to learn to work together and respect each other without fear. Create a place where we can raise our children and love one another.
Thanks for sharing. I grew up in Cypress Hills, East NY Brooklyn. I still go back to visit some family here and there. We didn't grow up in the projects so I don't know exactly where this is, but it has to be just minutes from where I grew up. It was a rough upbringing.
It’s sad how many brothers were locked up for weed when everyone can smoke in nyc now. It’s unfortunate obvious a lot of people in our communities went away for justifiable criminal activity but getting caught with a half oz of weed possession charge is stupid
I guess new york should BAN weed
It's a myth. They ran this idea through the media so long, that everyone believes it now - so they can legalize drugs. Only 0.7% (7 inmates of every 1000) where in state prison with a marijuana possession-only charge. Out of 1,300,000 prisoners in US State prisons, the number jailed was only about 9,100. Took me all of 10 minutes to find the studies, skim through them to find the statistics, and post here. Your masters have you trained well, go light up and smoke another.
@@theincantrix1144 I went to jail for two joints in the car ashtray. They jailed me overnight, just because they could. The jailer couldn't understand why they jailed me on a misdemeanor. I guess the same reason they destroyed my car.
I lost a good job of years for refusing a drug test...based on a coworker getting pulled over and busted for a pipe in his pocket. A case he had thrown out on 4th Amendment violation. But we still lost our jobs.
I can find millions more people that all went through similar situations that had far reaching negative effects on their lives. Yeah, the original comment was hyperbole, but the point still stands. Busting people for weed is stupid.
Ain't no masters training me, bud. You were all cool pointing out the stats and trying to educate people, but the insulting part was uncalled for...especially when you're pushing the same stereotype that enables the persecution of people over a harmless and beneficial plant. Weed is not a drug. It's actually a sacrament. So your smearing people for a personal choice is obviously bigotry.
Drugs should be legal. The drug war makes the problem of drug abuse worse. How many decades do you need to figure this out? Maybe the first failed prohibition that turned the streets into a warzone wasn't lesson enough?
Drug abuse and addiction is a mental health problem, not a criminal problem.
@@strangersound So, you are trying to tell me, you think jail is the same as prison. You think there should be no laws, simply because everyone should be able to do what they want. You're asserting your opinion of drugs as if we should all follow your opinion. Drug abuse is a Personal Choice made, kind of like murder is a personal choice. Society did not force you to smoke, just like society didn't prevent you from learning. If I replaced "drugs" with "murder" or "pedophilia", you would sound like a nutjob instead of just of lower intellect. Fyi, sterotypes actually are a legit category of knowledge, and how most crimes are solved.
@@strangersound drugs should be legal? Like crack and heroin? What do crackheads and junkies do when they run out of money? They Rob they steal they neglect and take away from their children. Every one in the community has to now take on their burden and suffer the havoc they caus. You made a lengthy post and and tried to sound intelligent. But you sound like a dummy. Like Jay said I don't argue with fools caus people from a distance can't tell who is who. Peace. Get your mind right
Mitchell waaooow what a man , I like this guy . This guy talks from heart and what ever he said is so true . Love from INDIA👍🏻♥️👍🏻
Looks in a better state than some other towns/cities in your vids.
Great insight in to a collective human spirit coming from all walks.
Gives me faith we can beat THEM softly
Peter is so innocent and genuine lol ❤ he goes everywhere so inquisitive and give us great content.
@@Ac_Adapter don’t be a hater
@@Ac_Adapter Said the guy too dense to recognize even the most basic colloquialisms of what he claims to be his "own" language. Lol.
That lady talking about police reform she was on point. Amazing how when you don't get what the birdfeeder feeds you (mainstream media) and go right to the source, Americans are all EXTREMELY alike.
More alike than different. Peace
The question she was asked though was, "What is the solution to the violence?" The police aren't the solution - the family is the solution.
Everybody in this video was so welcoming and accommodating. Cash gave us such a calm entry point, then Mitchell brought in his next level chakra and left us with a really positive impression. Great video.
So welcoming yet in reality you cannot just walk up in any projects, all willy-nilly.
@@thekingoffactnotfiction4813 Sure cuz, you can, but you don’t want to.
@@haydengray5825 No, I've done it. I've gone to Queensbridge projects late at night to see my sister, gone to Brooklyn projects and stayed outside till night. You have to be looking for trouble or moving stupid for something to happen to you in the projects.
@@thekingoffactnotfiction4813 Ok, I hear you. I’m glad your experience has been positive.
Says that people who describe people in the hood, with words like, “everyone in this video are so ‘welcoming and accommodating”, are dumbAF and most likely racist and has zero idea...
Hey Matt... Do us all a favor and go down to Skid Row with your camera rolling and let me know how that turns out for you??? I would love to see that...
And to be clear... I LOVE MY PEOPLES FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE I AM FROM THERE...
But at the same time, I fucking hate fake ass people like you...
You have the best content, I love how you travel to educate me.
Awesome shout from Cali. Thanks for sharing Cash, et al.
Mitchell straight-up said so many things I align with, damn! We need more genuine people who care not for their image in other's eyes, but move true to one-self, strong with integrity. The more people on this level, the better the society. So many of our youth are in need of proper guidance and I know for a damn fact that's not going to come from social media or public schooling. We need real people, real leaders, to be role models and do what is right. Actions speak louder than words, and all these politician's words shallow as hell. Bless up to all those enduring the trials of life, keeping positive, and spreading the love. We need that energy now more than ever!

Chakra
My bro for over 30 years
Ikr. Mitchell broke it down...simple facts meditate in putting out that good Chakra. How he explained the Universal language is facts 💯.
Thanks to rap culture I think people in the hood care about image more than reality. Go to hoods here in Florida and you see a lot of nice cars parked outside dirty not taken care of houses for example
@commercializedhip-hopisdea1019 He need to learn what a chakra is. It's not energy. Chakras are individual energy centres in the body.
I grew up in Brooklyn in the 90s I know exactly what they are talking about, I'm glad I made it out alive as a young man a lot of kids didn't. Peter respect for doing this.
When I see people talking about crime now, I keep thinking that none of them can really be from new york cause they don't seem to know what it was like to live in NYC in the 90s
this community needs jobs is my guess.
Me too living in sutter avenue near pink houses back in the 80 s by and 90s was. No joke
@@OXHAMMERSTONE_NYC true, the kids today have a way out, and have more resources than we did back then. You couldn't even walk the streets alone to school or take the city bus with out risk of being robbed or jumped. So many of us had to click up. Now its more quite and kids have UA-cam and all sorts of social apps to help them make it out and learn new trades skills etc. -Then again with the new gang structures etc I don't really know how it is now, I'm not there feeling the vibes.
@@OXHAMMERSTONE_NYC exactly. Homicides in the 70s/80s/90s would hit 1550-2000+ annually.
Thank you, with Mitchell Aimss you have simply shown me an unknown but at the same time more than real and very good rapper. Love from Germany and I hope Mitchell Aimss goes on with his music!
Great video! Just saw this by random, but love NY and would want to go there one day. Cashmere is king, but that shirtless man they met were spitting truth and facts on another deep level.
R.I.P KJ Balla ! Had the blessings shooting his first music video ! #EastNewYork
Wrd🙏🏾

This is a crossover from the two sides of UA-cam I never thought would collab. This wild. RIP KJ Balla

I discovered N.Y. drill thru your channel. Thank you for giving youngins a way to make a living off of their (most of the time overlooked) talent. RIP to KJ Balla🙏🏽
Yooo when the naked shirt guy cam around and was throwing all the slag words and Peter’s just like the bag? Lmaooo it’s so funny Peter you have a heart of gold
Bag is cocaine where I'm from, glad it was clarified haha
Bag is a thing were you can put a decapitated head inside of where I come from (California)
This is insane - I love NYC... Beautiful place. Everyone has a story and everyone has layers to their story.
Just watched Cashmere in your Compton video.. and I gotta say, he seems very charismatic. The type of person who could make friends anywhere. He has potential to go very far!
Kashmir and mitchel are on point with the energy and communication. These two tools are needed. As a new Yorker I am happy to hear these two guys talking common sense.
Those guys are just awesome super smart.
The two Ladys on the Bench
"He helped everybody , he snorted snow , SORRY He shovelled Snow"
He was a good guy 😂😂😂😂😂
I’m gonna sound like a total idiot. But life in the projects seems kind of fun in its own way. And the people for the most part seem real. It’s cool to see a side of life I’m unfamiliar with. Gives me a lot of perspective and understanding. This is a great video. I loved it.
I admire your sense of wonder about different perspectives. I too share that love for different views.
