I'm from the Bronx and grew up in a time before anyone in this video was born. NY was worse back in the days and only the strong survived. I've seen things and experienced things that would make these young ones terrified.
Ain’t even bout a waste of ur life this New York mfs do what they gotta do to survive sometimes it’s da only shit easy way but dangerous sometimes mfs ain’t grow up in good neighborhoods or having anything so they take da streets n it’s da only thing they know and just stay on that and age don’t matter out there we all treat each other as family grown up in da same block n everything u sound like a meat rider lol u wouldn’t even last in da hood🤣💯
That young man said something that went over y'all heads. He said in NY nobody is allowed to have gun, the criminals already know this and that's why they are bold to rob people because they know law abiding citizens are not allowed to have guns. Then he said if you know the owner of a convenient store is armed, you're not going to try to rob him.
Man i got homies from NY and i tell them all the time you better check yourself if you come to CT cuz you will get your wig split thinking NY civilians are similar
These are a bunch of broken kids that probably grew up without a father. Insecure of themselves, afraid of their egos being misinterpreted. Afraid of facing the real world out there.
If any of you guys from New York reading this, just know that rap is NOT the way out. You can do dozens of other things that are better for your community and they will make you rich. Also, you will have a way out of this lifestyle because no one deserves to live in this.
@@chrisg4514bro there's hella things to do... like me I do UA-cam and while learning YT I learned music production. Now I make beats for ppl om the side and do animations on YT and make decent money.

This is so embarrassing to my people. Disgusting to the glorifying of violence and killing. To see the excitement they have for it. So the pride they have in their situation to the point they don’t even want to leave a sh*t situation bc they’re happy with this being all they know
That's why it's important to be active in your community and instill values that don't align with violence. The difference between any of us and them are a bit of luck, and hope.
You don’t know how it is having a neglectful life with no help that’s where they all come from they get family issues and try and help because nobody is helping them the city declines help when they look for it and they hand together a lot of gangs didn’t start as gangs they started as protesters and movements u never been where they was I was when I was younger And they’re right that teenage age people really do need help it isn’t embarrassing to protect what you consider family please stfu
Wish my people would wake up and do something with themselves...always on the block but dont own the block ..i used to be in the streets heavy then all my ppls started droppin like flies i knew there was more to life so i changed ....hope they will get it too ..get the l.i. to carry ...

I am going to be very honest and informative with you. The new generation of kids, teen, and young adults of NYC today are merely imitating gang culture that started in Los Angeles. Much like they imitate southern Hip Hop, which is heretic! They create these fake "Opps" as they say -- in order to justify their gang activity of which really has no basis or justification at the core.
How is someone’s personal choices the systems fault? People could live nice if they wanted to. They choose not to. This has nothing to do with racism or poverty. It has to do with criminal culture being taught.

In the 70s Hunts Point and Fort Greene where crazy. Nobody in their right mind walked around there if you weren’t from there. There was a lot of murders. Glad it has changed even though it has a small ways to go, it’s definitely better than in the past.

Nah Hunts Point def still gritty, it's always among the most dangerous hoods in the towns. You def right on Fort Greene tho, it's mad calm and gentrified now, shit really only goes down in the projects.
Im from NYC and worked in East New York Brooklyn at the animal shelter for 3 years. South Bronx and east New York/Brownsville are considered the roughest spots in NYC currently. That being said I rode my bike to and from work everyday even at night sometimes and nobody ever messed with me. One time some guy yelled “I’m gonna shoot you bitch” but then laughed. That was kinda scary 😂but for real Fort Greene is super gentrified and expensive now. Sure there’s pockets or blocks that have shelters and projects but there’s also projects on the upper west side you know what I mean?
this is so sad that they willingly participate in this. it’s literally some sort of mental illness to stand on corners watching every car because you know someone wants to kill you.. over what? territory? that you don’t own? temporary money? money that’s not even making you rich. only 2 ways out in this life, dead or jail. and they’re fine with that outcome
It’s not mental illness it’s insecurity if they only had a mentor someone who took the role showed them someone cared lead them into a trade like plumbing union or electrical show them they can live rich legally explain they have the power to give their sons the life they didn’t get chance to have with just a ged things might be diff
@@ncruz591tbh I ain’t have no role model nothing I could’ve went the gang way but I’m not an idiot only idiots/followers seek into that type of like a small percent been through the worst but alot do it for attention, looks, nd that makes you an idiot
Its ignorance and a lack of a childhood, these grown men act like highschoolers, they havent seen shit, they havent got hobbies, they havent gone to the mountains to snowboard, or visited other countries and seen the cultures and lifestyles other people live around the world, they just stay in a dark ass area of a city and never leave; theyre stuck in a childs mentality, a child who hasnt learned a lot about life.
I understand this is sad, but it's also very wholesome. These guys actually seem like really chill people. I do hope nothing stands in their way of success. The jealousy, greed, and just diabolical behavior is what causes the problems. The first guy you spoke to was surprisingly very smart. I can only imagine how much better off these guys would be if they actually tried to finish school and went to college or into some kind of trade.
Trust theyre not chill people, they are bums and always harass people, if u live in the city youd know, its like a bunch of little bad ass boys who never grew up or made shit of themselves, theyre pathetic.
I've walked and photographed both of those neighborhoods - as well as others in the South Bronx, East New York, etc. Almost every single interaction I have is positive and you realize that, deep down, people are people - and they just want to live a good life. There are a lot of good people in these 'hoods.
15:54 That poor boy 13 and smoking and his dad id bringing him around that.. he should be taken away and shown a better way. You are supposed to protect your children, especially in the ways you were not. Keep them innocent as long as possible. No judgement just the wrong mentality and environment for raising ANY child.
I've been to NYC several times and Black's/Mexican/Puerto Rican/Dominican/Cuban/Haitian/Jamaican all live in Harlem/Bronx/Brooklyn and they all look the same in skin tone. Unless, they open their mouth and start talking you won't know who is who
Everyone can change; I used to think gang was all I had but your friends will betray you, your lovers will leave you.. there options brothers. You just have to start somewhere bless
Rough lives, sadness, sorrow, lost, most don't even know what love is but even more so you don't have to act badass and cuss all the damn time and carry a gun to be important!! My dad was one of them, Uncle Mike Tyson is another. Two badass powerful men by the lock of their eyes they're not to be messed with. I hope one day these young men find a real future. Everyone deserves that❤
Thats the difference between NYC and Chicago. NYC isnt a segregated and way more densely populated than Chicago especially Brooklyn and Manhattan where people live closer together and more high rises projects and condos. Even in areas like Fort Greene the place is just busier day and night, similar to London high streets, so civilians mainly just get left alone.
fort green can be nice neighborhood as long as u go around the projects. For example the gowanus houses are a horrible and dangerous place but around those projects its $3 million town nhouses and its safe. in nyc its jus so close together you mostly gotta find trouble for sumthin to happen to u, however theres still a small chance youll get robbed as a civilian by young crash out kids
That's just crazy how they degraded that lady like that don't worry homie ya life will teach you a lesson one way or another ...don't wish nothing bad on you or anybody that's just ain't right
you should have stopped at fort Greene is a nice neighborhood there projects aren’t even bad I learned threw out America the bigger the gang wars are know the more dangerous there are nobody knows one gang from fort Greene ya know Wooo Woo Choo n the twirler frm there That’s Brownsville Crown Heights East NY Flatbush
1st dude is very smart if only he applied himself you can tell his heart is genuine and would love to better his community if he could and had resources
Real sad truth about this is that they go so “hard” for their “hoods” when a bunch of suits can just sign a couple contracts and develop the whole neighborhood
@@robmalcolm8042 I don't mean by murder rate, because that is nothing to brag about. I mean about the demographic nowadays. They try so hard and are obviously imitators, wherein the real NYC had nothing but originators!
@@RandomFlavor oh your right about that. Those days had the cliques and real nyc gangs not that blood, crip or Latin king stuff that’s not even from New York. Trinintarios is like the only one that’s similar to those but actually did start in NYC. Still nothing compares to the old days.
@@robmalcolm8042 The "Trinitarios" started in jail during the early 90's to protect themselves from the mass oppression they were victims of. The "Latin Kings"formed in jail & prison during the 80's as well to fight against Black (5%er) oppression. The real New York City street gangs like the "Savage Nomads" "Savage Skulls" "Black Spades" etc etc had come to an end by 1978. From that point -- NYC then had "Crews" fashioned in the Mafia style up until the late 80's. Then in 1994 Black inmates @ Rikers Island started the "United Blood Nation without permission from California. This ushered in the whole West Coast gang imitations you see now in NYC...
Facts. Every summer is like Iraq in ENY! They had a shoot out right outside my workplace. Hookers running a wild. Rats the size of pitbulls. They got new buildings popping up by Linden Movie Theater. They trying but most of the gentrification happened over by Linwood and Starret City..ages ago. Gateway Mall is new but...and got those new homes down there but no sir. Still got to watch yourself.

Fort Greene resident 👋 FIRST there’s projects all over BK, and it’s not a big scary production like the rest of the country makes it out to be. SECOND East New York and Brownsville would be the places to avoid. Even those areas aren’t THAT bad (at least during the day). Fort Greene is considered a premium neighborhood with some of the highest rent/ property values. No clue where this “research” came from 🤣
Also live in FG, this title blew my mind, such a nice neighborhood & he clearly did 0 research. Probably came to meet friends at Rhodora and said eh whatever i'll just film by public housing and call it "dangerous".
When I've been out photographing these neighborhoods, the people I've met are almost always polite, curious, and even ask me to take photos themselves. This vid is just one side of life in these neighborhoods. It's a big part of life, but there's also a lot more to life there, too.
Everybody was going crazy when the kid was rapping in Spanish, but he really wasn't saying anything amazing. He was basically saying how he was going to kill people and they were snitches lmao....que tontería 😂
It’s very easy for the feds to get a popular journalist to film all of you and get details on how you operate and incriminate yourself. I’m from The Bronx, Morris height/Soundview. I’m in Pennsylvania now since 2022

Well that how it is. Older guys do a little something for you put money in your pocket and help you put food on the table for your people then you get deeper and deeper into it. Then what you gonna do? Betray the people who helped when no one else would? It's easy to get trapped in that street mentality. That is why they might seem like they want the best for you but they just want loyal shooters.
It’s all they know if you show them different than they will do something different, if all your friends dying daily violence drugs and chaos is all your around you’re gonna gravitate towards it one way or another

Exactly. They are all addicted to the money, women, drugs and beef with rivals. And that's exactly what most of their raps are about. It's life style they were born into and that's all they know.

Ignorant comment!! I'm proudly born and raised in the Bronx. My brothers and sisters were born and raised in the Bronx and we did well. Our parents were married, our family worked hard and we all are God fearing, kind and hard workers that give back to our family and community. My brother is a Engineer and owns a solar energy company, another brother is a Chemist, another brother got locked up - did 12 years and got out and got his associates in Electrical Engineering, my sister is a Computer Programmer, I'm an Occupational Therapist and my other sister is a restaurant manager. Your environment does not define you. 🇯🇲🇺🇲
My dad was a Buffalo,NY cop for 30 years. All these people like in the video feared him. Its easy to look all hard on camera with your thugs. God can soften the hardest heart.

Im from NYC and worked in East New York Brooklyn at the animal shelter for 3 years. South Bronx and east New York/Brownsville are considered the roughest spots in NYC currently. That being said I rode my bike to and from work everyday even at night sometimes and nobody ever messed with me. One time some guy yelled “I’m gonna shoot you bitch” but then laughed. That was kinda scary 😂but for real Fort Greene is super gentrified and expensive now. Sure there’s pockets or blocks that have shelters and projects but there’s also projects on the upper west side you know what I mean?
Damn... Glad I'm not living like that.. Shits depressing
It is depressing don’t let em fool you its not the place to wanna stay in like they make it seem
It’s just all they know
@@justingreen4141facts
as a kid raised inna bronx its pretty sad tho
Lost souls… May they all find some light through God 🙏🏽
Amen
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
amen
this is so sad that they willingly participate in this. it’s literally some sort of mental illness to stand on corners watching every car because you know someone wants to kill you.. over what? territory? that you don’t own? temporary money? money that’s not even making you rich. only 2 ways out in this life, dead or jail. and they’re fine with that outcome
Thank you
People use "mental illness" far too loosely these days. They're just losers, plain and simple.
It’s not mental illness it’s insecurity if they only had a mentor someone who took the role showed them someone cared lead them into a trade like plumbing union or electrical show them they can live rich legally explain they have the power to give their sons the life they didn’t get chance to have with just a ged things might be diff
@@ncruz591tbh I ain’t have no role model nothing I could’ve went the gang way but I’m not an idiot only idiots/followers seek into that type of like a small percent been through the worst but alot do it for attention, looks, nd that makes you an idiot
Its ignorance and a lack of a childhood, these grown men act like highschoolers, they havent seen shit, they havent got hobbies, they havent gone to the mountains to snowboard, or visited other countries and seen the cultures and lifestyles other people live around the world, they just stay in a dark ass area of a city and never leave; theyre stuck in a childs mentality, a child who hasnt learned a lot about life.
I understand this is sad, but it's also very wholesome. These guys actually seem like really chill people. I do hope nothing stands in their way of success. The jealousy, greed, and just diabolical behavior is what causes the problems. The first guy you spoke to was surprisingly very smart. I can only imagine how much better off these guys would be if they actually tried to finish school and went to college or into some kind of trade.
Trust theyre not chill people, they are bums and always harass people, if u live in the city youd know, its like a bunch of little bad ass boys who never grew up or made shit of themselves, theyre pathetic.
I've walked and photographed both of those neighborhoods - as well as others in the South Bronx, East New York, etc. Almost every single interaction I have is positive and you realize that, deep down, people are people - and they just want to live a good life. There are a lot of good people in these 'hoods.
Most idiotic statement ever made.
tf is so wholesome about this?
😂😂😂 ur joking right?
Haven’t started this video yet but before I do I just wanna say you put out some of the best content I’ve seen. Raw and real as can be! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Shiiit nice to see you in front of the camera, keep it up liking the new format of content
The degeneration of our country before our eyes is startling, scary, and depressing.
A lack of positive male adult influences is truly an American "tragedy"😮😢🙏.
How does this channel not have millions of subscribers!? Insane
"I'd die for this hood"
The same one that has you trapped and left you on the floor😂
15:54 That poor boy 13 and smoking and his dad id bringing him around that.. he should be taken away and shown a better way. You are supposed to protect your children, especially in the ways you were not. Keep them innocent as long as possible. No judgement just the wrong mentality and environment for raising ANY child.
I've been to NYC several times and Black's/Mexican/Puerto Rican/Dominican/Cuban/Haitian/Jamaican all live in Harlem/Bronx/Brooklyn and they all look the same in skin tone. Unless, they open their mouth and start talking you won't know who is who
The best diverse city babyyy 🗽
Melting pot baby
Everyone can change; I used to think gang was all I had but your friends will betray you, your lovers will leave you.. there options brothers. You just have to start somewhere bless
Factsssss
A fake Gang thinking because nobody from the US is from the streets, go to PR with your ID or Mexico those are real fucking street they chop ya ass.
Rough lives, sadness, sorrow, lost, most don't even know what love is but even more so you don't have to act badass and cuss all the damn time and carry a gun to be important!!
My dad was one of them, Uncle Mike Tyson is another.
Two badass powerful men by the lock of their eyes they're not to be messed with. I hope one day these young men find a real future. Everyone deserves that❤
Bless brother. I'm addicted to your channel been ninge watching for 2days straight
Big ups and safe travels.
Thats the difference between NYC and Chicago. NYC isnt a segregated and way more densely populated than Chicago especially Brooklyn and Manhattan where people live closer together and more high rises projects and condos. Even in areas like Fort Greene the place is just busier day and night, similar to London high streets, so civilians mainly just get left alone.
fort green can be nice neighborhood as long as u go around the projects. For example the gowanus houses are a horrible and dangerous place but around those projects its $3 million town nhouses and its safe. in nyc its jus so close together you mostly gotta find trouble for sumthin to happen to u, however theres still a small chance youll get robbed as a civilian by young crash out kids
New York is only fighting with itself they took this Warrior shit and Cyrus way out of hand
He funny asl please don't listen to this man and go experience jail ...even if you a crack head fse
That's just crazy how they degraded that lady like that don't worry homie ya life will teach you a lesson one way or another ...don't wish nothing bad on you or anybody that's just ain't right
you should have stopped at fort Greene is a nice neighborhood there projects aren’t even bad I learned threw out America the bigger the gang wars are know the more dangerous there are nobody knows one gang from fort Greene ya know Wooo Woo Choo n the twirler frm there That’s Brownsville Crown Heights East NY Flatbush
These guys are lucky to all be off from work at the same time
😂
Its amazing these guys are large toddlers.
I’m trying to light that blunt when it’s blurred is hilarious to me. 😂🙈
I’m living in hunts point and it’s not even that bad only problem is that our blocks be dirty as hell tbh
Son 30 with 20 year olds smh
There's at least one guy like that in most hoods lol the older head
They the same generation 😂wtf
1st dude is very smart if only he applied himself you can tell his heart is genuine and would love to better his community if he could and had resources
These need to be longer boss
Real sad truth about this is that they go so “hard” for their “hoods” when a bunch of suits can just sign a couple contracts and develop the whole neighborhood
These are actually very intelligent and well spoken people. They're just stuck in an unfortunate situation. God bless them.
Sad tht grown men smoke wit children but homie said in the beginning of tha video those type of kids need to be guided🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
It’s regular in the hood nun to do about it cuz we was doing the same 🤷🏾♂️
@@tyxnai2067it does 😂 backwards , dont have kids smoking or smoke around them
Wow, most definitely not the NYC or Hunts Point that I remember from the 70's, 80's, and 90's! The real NYC is but a cherished memory...
But the murder rates was way higher back then though. It’s still safe in murder rate terms. Although a lot of random shit has been happening more.
Why do ya old people lie about this type of stuff😂
@@robmalcolm8042 I don't mean by murder rate, because that is nothing to brag about. I mean about the demographic nowadays. They try so hard and are obviously imitators, wherein the real NYC had nothing but originators!
@@RandomFlavor oh your right about that. Those days had the cliques and real nyc gangs not that blood, crip or Latin king stuff that’s not even from New York. Trinintarios is like the only one that’s similar to those but actually did start in NYC. Still nothing compares to the old days.
@@robmalcolm8042 The "Trinitarios" started in jail during the early 90's to protect themselves from the mass oppression they were victims of. The "Latin Kings"formed in jail & prison during the 80's as well to fight against Black (5%er) oppression. The real New York City street gangs like the "Savage Nomads" "Savage Skulls" "Black Spades" etc etc had come to an end by 1978. From that point -- NYC then had "Crews" fashioned in the Mafia style up until the late 80's. Then in 1994 Black inmates @ Rikers Island started the "United Blood Nation without permission from California. This ushered in the whole West Coast gang imitations you see now in NYC...
You forgot about Brownsville and East New York! Now those neighborhoods are the most dangerous.
Yea Back in the 90s and early 2000s those places were hectic now that’s filled with Jews 😂
Facts. Every summer is like Iraq in ENY! They had a shoot out right outside my workplace. Hookers running a wild. Rats the size of pitbulls. They got new buildings popping up by Linden Movie Theater. They trying but most of the gentrification happened over by Linwood and Starret City..ages ago. Gateway Mall is new but...and got those new homes down there but no sir. Still got to watch yourself.
@@LouGetPaidBrownsville and east New York is definitely not filled with Jews LMAOO
@@LouGetPaidYou chatting 🤡 no Jews in Brownsville or ENY.
You ain’t from no trenches, You went to private school all ur life..
@0:29 did this kid try to flex 125 dollars?😂😂😂🤦🏾
Wow I grew up around there. It was wild crazy back then. Luckily nothing terrible has ever happened to me when I lived there.
It's crazy to me how in N.Y you think you talking to a black man whole time he spanish🤣🤣🤣
That’s common knowledge. There’s mad black, light skin, white Spanish speakers. PR and DR is full of em. They migrate to nyc
@@itsstatic9040 I grew up around Spanish people just not too many dark skinned Spanish people. When I was in highschool shit me and my boy was the only black dudes in class freshman year. I remember these 2 girls who I could've sworn was black then they started speaking Spanish I'm like🤨🤨🤨
Kind of Brian washed man if you think Latinos are only light skin...
@@M3L203CTyou can’t be that ignorant.. like we come in all shades and etc educate yourself
And he’s still black bozo it’s something called ethnicity and something called race Spanish people still black to at the end of the day they just not into with they shi
there’s always one who’s itching to start rapping😂
All are terrible aswell
Fort Greene resident 👋 FIRST there’s projects all over BK, and it’s not a big scary production like the rest of the country makes it out to be. SECOND East New York and Brownsville would be the places to avoid. Even those areas aren’t THAT bad (at least during the day). Fort Greene is considered a premium neighborhood with some of the highest rent/ property values. No clue where this “research” came from 🤣
Also live in FG, this title blew my mind, such a nice neighborhood & he clearly did 0 research. Probably came to meet friends at Rhodora and said eh whatever i'll just film by public housing and call it "dangerous".
I’m from ENY and I knew when he said Fort that he didn’t do any research 🤦🏾♀️
this is fire ngl
When I've been out photographing these neighborhoods, the people I've met are almost always polite, curious, and even ask me to take photos themselves. This vid is just one side of life in these neighborhoods. It's a big part of life, but there's also a lot more to life there, too.
Everybody was going crazy when the kid was rapping in Spanish, but he really wasn't saying anything amazing. He was basically saying how he was going to kill people and they were snitches lmao....que tontería 😂
👍
Exactly little ass kid he'll be a chalk outline in a few years

Bunch of ignorance
Ironically the photo in the thumbnail is of DUMBO (BK) which is actually one of the more fancy and expensive parts of BK
Everyone knows that. It’s just a thumbnail depicting a part of Brooklyn.
It’s very easy for the feds to get a popular journalist to film all of you and get details on how you operate and incriminate yourself. I’m from The Bronx, Morris height/Soundview. I’m in Pennsylvania now since 2022
Your man at 08:35 looks like Liverpool's Trent!
I know both of these neighborhoods very well .
They are both not bad areas like you describing. AT ALL. !
Hunts Point is the poorest in NYC, but I would not call it to be the most dangerous. Mott Haven, Brownsville, and East New York are the most dangerous. Revise your content, yah heard!!!
Hunts point is in the top 10 worse in ny
Im from the Bronx everywhere is crazy
@@stxcks23 in the Bronx everywhere is crazy Brooklyn has gentrified spots so does queens n Harlem
I went to school in hunts point shit gets crazy out there
@@Slim545 I've lived in the bronx my whole life, and for the most part people are just going about their daily lives. Going to work, going to school/college or whatever. Most people living here are normal. Sure there's that one crack head stumbling through the side walks every now and then but its not as bad as people say it is tbh. Yes there are some bad parts but it ain't no gotham city lol
This is amazing, thank them for our job security 😉.
Alot of kids love the hood love the way the code yea I was one of them kids loved the street life still carry the hammer but sometimes you gotta explore find out what you missing
Well that how it is. Older guys do a little something for you put money in your pocket and help you put food on the table for your people then you get deeper and deeper into it. Then what you gonna do? Betray the people who helped when no one else would? It's easy to get trapped in that street mentality. That is why they might seem like they want the best for you but they just want loyal shooters.
It’s all they know if you show them different than they will do something different, if all your friends dying daily violence drugs and chaos is all your around you’re gonna gravitate towards it one way or another
Bro the guy wearing all green went to my High school, Thts crazy fr.
Wow..What happened to him? like how did he end up there?
@@Natural_Lii Tbh i wasn't really close with him. But the highschool i attended was a private catholic school, so to see him in that situation is wild to me. I used to play football and the teammates I was close with knew him. I don't know how he ended up there, why, or even if it's a thing where he was always in that group, but all i know is that when you are surrounded in that environment in certain cases you will be influenced by it.
great content let's goooooo!! I'm excited for this episode
If they only understood what’s awaiting men after death they wouldn’t live their lives that way.
And what they could achieve in this life if they set their mind right 👍❤
I don’t think they care
grown ass man little child brain
@@elgr4489you tend to bou care when you live in a warzone and no outlets but violence and drugs and all your friends are gone
There's nothing. There is no afterlife.
They wouldn’t have anything to make music about if they all dropped the beef. They love the lifestyle.
faxxx
Exactly. They are all addicted to the money, women, drugs and beef with rivals. And that's exactly what most of their raps are about. It's life style they were born into and that's all they know.
@@jordankonkol1242 they look like they just looted a dollar store.
Rap abt Makin money
You could there’s lots of NY Rappers rappin about the struggle and Makin money that’s all ya out of towners pay attention to you probably don’t care about yung ma’s music or don’t know who Girl code or Neek Bucks is or they gotta do gimmicky things with extreme talent like scar lip she gotta make a joke outta herself for ya to listen to her even Lola Brooke ion see the attention she was gettin twoards the beginning of this year
the 2nd guys he interviewed are great guys i can tell just caught up the life. :(

If you from New York never tell anyone you from the Bronx you saying you poor and broke
U dumb the most drippy city in NY
u clearly arent from ny.. some affluent parts of the bronx exist especially in the north
Ignorant comment!! I'm proudly born and raised in the Bronx. My brothers and sisters were born and raised in the Bronx and we did well. Our parents were married, our family worked hard and we all are God fearing, kind and hard workers that give back to our family and community. My brother is a Engineer and owns a solar energy company, another brother is a Chemist, another brother got locked up - did 12 years and got out and got his associates in Electrical Engineering, my sister is a Computer Programmer, I'm an Occupational Therapist and my other sister is a restaurant manager. Your environment does not define you. 🇯🇲🇺🇲
The future for New York looks bright with these upstanding fine young men.
you are a natural and noone said hey where's that accent from?
I love your videos! So real and shows the true state of America.
Bad blood leads to bad blood. The cycle will keep on repeating for many decades...
this is crazy, it's like some classic film. Everyone just keeps on breaking out into song/ Rap
That young man from hunts point is a very intelligent man and I wish him the best and will be praying for him each and everyday

It's crazy, the time people can just waste on stuff that doesn't matter at all when you have one life to live.
*Can you do one of these here in Harlem, NY* you valid 😭
That guy was speaking facts
no he was not they too old to be doing ts like it’s trashy and depressing 😂😂
The bang on them job applications crazy how they think holding block is cool
My dad was a Buffalo,NY cop for 30 years. All these people like in the video feared him. Its easy to look all hard on camera with your thugs. God can soften the hardest heart.
That lil tribu block in Hunts point wayyy hotter than Fort Greene
The Bronx alone is hot bruh lol
Fact bro should have Went to the Garvey in Brownsville
Bro someone give these guys a record deal them bars were 🔥🔥🔥
Nah the guy just repeated the same lines. Needs more creativity!
Rap is the next next of losing you soul if it wasn’t already done in the streets doing what they do
Bro said he want to be there his whole life….. man these guys need prayer. There’s more to life than these streets
