G Herbo: City of Sorrow (Documentary) | Mass Appeal

- "Nobody wants to stay in Chicago where it’s like, 800 murders. You got to strive for something." -G Herbo
G Herbo’s path to greatness wasn’t paved with yellow brick. The neighborhood he grew up in on Chicago's East Side is known-fondly, to some-as “Terror Town.” Passage through a metal detector is required for entrance into his old middle school.
In the latest MASS APPEAL documentary, 'City of Sorrow,' G Herbo makes his triumphant return to Hyde Park Academy, where he attended middle school.
“Before I get out of here, I just wanted to tell y’all that no matter what you do in life, the main three things to remember is to keep faith in yourself, stay focused and keep working hard,” the Humble Beast rapper tells an excited crowd inside Hyde Park Academy auditorium-the same place he used to show up to school smelling of weed. “Ain’t nothing easy. Everything in life is hard, there will be ups and downs, you’re gonna lose, you’re gonna fail. But you only fail if you give up.”
“You cannot just… ‘Oh, get out of the streets.' You’ll either die or go to jail.' Everybody knows that,” says Mikkey Halsted-the former rapper, current president of A&R Machine Ent. Group, and mentor figure to Herbo-as he waits to make a turn at a streetlight. Halsted deconstructs many of the stigmas and myths surrounding life in Chicago as he takes our cameras through Herbo’s former stomping grounds.
“Leave the streets to do what? Go work in McDonalds? ‘So the people that was trying to kill me last week, can see me in McDonalds?’”
Herbo did find a way to leave the streets and went to work at places like Hot 97’s Summer Jam. His story is one that Halsted, and the city of Chicago wants to push out to a wider audience. “I damn near saw, like, Nas and Tupac,” Mikkey says about encountering Herbo’s talent for the first time. That’s what I felt. So, I came to get him. I came home.”

G Herbo and Bibby came a long way frfr
the fact that chief keef lil herb lil durk fredo bibby were already connected in the streets before rap and made it is crazy in itself this shit goin make a good movie one day
Tyresr Hill the story of any Chicago kid would make a best movie. Sums up America. #3Chiraq
On god
Fr
It would be an awesome movie to watch :)
Herbo and lil Bibby aren’t from O’block like Keef, Durk, and Fredo
“U cant judge people for what they up against “ 💯💯
Oh that’s KD
They dont care
Easy money Sniper people still do it tell this day it common
I read this as he said it lol
Easy money Sniper 🙌🏾

I almost cried because a million black men will never make it out there situation and understand the message is you dont have to be a rapper in order to make it out your hood
Ghetto Nintendo exactly be a leader do yo own thing to make it out
Lil Bibby real shit tho💯
Lil Bibby what's wrong with having a legal hustle?
Lil Bibby that’s why the importance of school has to be stressed. Shits rough when classes are overcrowded and teachers are overwhelmed, schools are underfunded and many of the kids don’t have any force pushing them to go. It’s a very rough situation, but if you could just get a GED and either go to community college or learn a trade you’ll be that much better off.
Brandon Whiting
On top of that the things that are taught in most black schools in America are useless in college. What good is an inner city HS Diploma with a 2.5 GPA and a 6th grade reading level?
Herbo a real dude who really can rap. Salute. Come London one time
Nigga stop telling people where you from on youtube your just asking to get mocked
LMainRoad CheffingUp ????
0346 you'll see
Shut up u stupid American herb come to LDN
Documentaries like this is more personally deep then him just being a good rapper...Herbo is almost an inspiration to the fans for being that role model to not only make it out of one of the toughest and dangerous cities in the U.S. but for him to put it in the art form content of his personal deepest timeline Chicago life story within the lyrics even in different types of rap flows IS the end of the day reason why he is More then a good rapper🅿💯
You only hear bout the hate in Chicago. But these people got the most love you'll find anywhere

Most people don't understand the trauma that many blacks go through just growing up.
tronvas96 exactly
lil big how
tronvas96 u forgot Hispanics live with blacks too but yes mostly blacks
Lil _J Hispanics go thru the same shit
IN CHICAGO
This gives me chills man this was amazing. Especially from PTSD deluxe where he uses some excerpts from this in the song high school or 4am to 8am. Herbo is a legend and an inspiration
Y’all might as well make a movie. This shit so epic, like his manager said, this some Nas, Tupac type shit.
.......this is the overall majority life scenario for are inner city youth .....smh ...get ah big at Mickey d's ...so the survivors who were searching to slump me last week could see me at Mickey d's
.........now that's real
......just being born poor in the ghetto insures ah life of tryna escape ah frightful fate ......send prayer to o.u.r youth 7
Herbo losing that many friends really puts things in perspective, and for him to overcome that and be successful is as inspirational as it gets. Shoutout to Chicago - its cold as hell right now though
man, herbo dont deserve nothing but greatness
"don't nobody run the city , we all from the city" - G herbo
Just stop the street wars between black on black,understand that we're only killing ourselves,and for those of you that don't know nor understand what the problem is,go look in the mirror,let's open our minds and find away out of this mess we're in,let's come together and solves this problems we're having,let get results and not deaths,G.Herb speak out my brother.
Didn’t even read the whole title just saw “G Herbo:” and clicked
It’s crazy how He’s only 22 But has the EYES of a 40 Year old man. I guess that’s because of what’s he’s seen that it shows in his eyes. Crazy.
fax tellerman he made it out

VERY INTELLIGENT GENTLEMAN
*Lil God - baptize community* .
One of the realest to do it
#CameraLord on god
Been a day 1 herb fan. I always felt his pain & I can’t even imagine loosing 19 homies. Glad to see he still doing what he do remaining the same. 💪🏾
Lil Pump yea 19 a lot of homies for a 17 year old but trust me that still aint nothing compared to back in the days, in the 90s it was normal for whole project buildings of dudes to get wiped out in like 2 summers
The struggle all these young men have to go through😟Breaks my heart...especially when there's no positive male figure in there life.Thts why I stress to my son..be a leader not no follower ..G Herbo stay blessed and God Bless💜
Man, I'm from Portugal ... wayyy far from Chicago and I love this guy. G Herbo is what hip hop is all about !
This gives me chills
This what I like to see in my city instead of people shooting and doing drugs someone making it susscessful and showing susport to his neighborhood were he grew up from
Kam GwopTv herb smokes nigga
Valid GlitTv I didn’t say he didn’t
I got chills watching this, I heard Herb do the Hot Nigga Freestyle which was right before he changed his name to G Herbo. Retro Flow was the track that made me a fan though, I could feel energy, the blood, sweat, and pain in that song. The BLIK project was so good, I was shocked when I found out it was a mixtape because it sounded like an album. HumbleBeast was a great project. We rock wit Herbo and Bibby here in North Carolina, all my hood homies are huge Herbo fans. I didn't grow up in the hood but I did face all kinda struggles in my childhood and I grew up in a single parent household. I can definitely relate and can say Herbo the truth.
®️®️ shit herb keep being humble and setting prime examples for the kids and stuff...im not from chi-town but Chicago needs more artists like you G
G Herbo is the definition of Trap done right
Turntables Two it's called drill rap . thats what everybody's calls it anyway .
Turntables Two wtf G herbo is not trap lol
Turntables Two he makes drill not trap
Mike Maratta he don’t make drill either
+Quiet nigga plz we been doing sht it's old to us new to y'all don't get it twisted my nigga
No rapper out right now that I wanna see win more than Herb tbh.
Dropped tears man as a race we beautiful we just got so much pent up hate and aggression we need to come together in order for us to grow 💯
one of my favorite rappers today hands down. This shit deeper than rap
frr
Herb will always be a legend 💯
Herb and bibby biopic would be dope
Glad to see Herbo made it out our city man Chicago is a tough city u just gotta stay focused & be determined to make it out real shit
This why Herbo still the best out
We are only 5 days into 2018 and this is the best doc/video yet💯

Because they could've just made that bullshit movie into a documentary. It was trash and corny as hell.
Only if YOUNG PAPPY was still here wit us #RIPYOUNGPAPPY💯😇🙏
this shit incredible, herb a real one.
Herb the realest. Gotta love him and be happy for him when you see how far he’s come.
I loved watching this
G Herbo, you make my heart smile.
Peeped this documentary & got a break from the Depression real quick
S/O to you for putting on for your City.
This documentary was well put together. I love that G. Herbo was able to make it out of Chicago and excel in his rap career. From my understanding, he's reaching back and putting on his "brothers" and doing positive things in his old community. I'm proud of this young man and I hope he continues to rise.
this was a great video.. s/o mass appeal for this. g herbo one of the best rappers to live and dats facts man, and seeing this makes him even more of an inspiration to tha youth.. respect .
Good shit...#herbo is a beast...love
Watching these documentaries ...
Real good work bro...much respect to bibby too he is another beast...
ever since i first heard herb i knew how far he was going to go.. the passion and feeling in the music, to this day i still drop tears listening to him , real rap. respect
That school scene is touching. He looked so happy to be able to go back, see everyone and inspire people
Just warmed my heart 🔥❤️
Listening to humble beast rest of the night
Bless up homie 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Been one of my favorite artist for two years and counting, always had mad respect for her cause it ain't nobody putting quality music out that could touch fans the way his music does, and after watching this I can really appreciate where the lyrics to his songs come from. Can't compare herb to none
Best rapper documentary so far.
Dope!! him and bibby should have a documentary together they the ones who started screaming gang gang first
The fact he came back to speak to them kids kind of brought a tear to my eye because I know what it’s like not to have shit, no hope, and just be in a fucked up environment. He probably don’t even know how much hope he gave them kids. I REALLY respect him for that.
Dat was real asl much love an respect💯
I'm HP alumni. Glad to see lil bro change his life
