Yes because thats what we did. if you got your ass whooped u just got your ass whooped. We were talkin about that at work today. Young kids today always talkin about "shoot the fair one." They wouldn't know how to shoot a fair one if a fair one was staring them in the face. I guess SHOOT the fair one means everyones got a gun to shoot bullets.
@@markf5314 It is VERY dangerous today so i dont blame you. You can get your brains blown out for some random bullshit so taking the high road and not beefing at all makes sense. I work in a secure juvenile detention facility so i know a thing or two about whats going on in the streets with teens and twentysomethings.
Brianna Santos My baba when I moved from the motherland to USA young dudes 20-25 years ago was shooting and killing, so I do not know how far back he's talking. Nothing new under the sun brother. Malcolm was in Harlem talking about brothers killing an stabbing each other trying to clean the people up years back. Fact is the issue is just a continuous cycle which never changed. Blacks still in same position shaking the tin can filling the role of beggar while the man is still on top.
Man only out-of-towners daydream about this shit fuck NYC can't even hardly get an apartment due to gentrification I live in East New York I want to move to Florida
I used to complain all the time like ugh I cant wait to leave. Then I left, now all I wanna do is go back. I love brooklyn niggas. I had a bomb dating and social life. Now I live in florida and the men are boring as fuck. Ugh take me back. Bed Stuy my home!!!

I love Bed Stuy! Such a beautiful neighborhood. And don’t believe the hype that it’s all gentrified. Nah, Bed Stuy is still very Black (largest Black home ownership in the entire city), full of Black business, and Black culture.
I love Bed-Stuy! The brownstones, food, markets and the people. It get slams..a LOT...but spend time there and I think you’ll find the joy of the place. Some areas around the Stuy are a bit sketchy but for the most part, it’s awesome!
My old hood. Fulton St. Been to alot of places.....nothing, I mean nothing like NYC! Especially Brooklyn. We were born and raised right there. Bed stuy was all good. We had our problems, however I miss the ol' Brooklyn. Nothing on this globe like. Trust that sh-t! Not even close. We always had our own.....way of doing that Bk thing. Bed-Stuy, ENY, Brownsville, Ft.Greene, Crown Heights, always standing. Salute to my real soldiers from the late 70's, 80's and 90's! ✊🏾
Bedstuy isn’t 1600 a month dumbass the Westside of the stuy where the white people be at might be but I know where my Gma live near fulton she on section 8
One thing about the streets of Bed Stuy I remember, in transit commuting, were some the murals of street dudes of the past. The 80s and 90s were some of the most ACTIVE and DANGEROUS times for the Stuy and the Ville (Brownsville).
Very articulate and well spoken, I've seen prep school white boys who are much ruder and when their phone rings would have been dicks about answering. We're all one and it's good he's reminding us love & respect exists in the roughest parts of the city
@Monsieur Tarzan Is it a recommended neighborhood for foreigners who want to live in NY? I'm from Brazil and I liked Bed Stuy because of the series everybody hates Chris
What a dumb comment. Why would that happen ? If somebody don't want to do it they'll just say no, many times they do say no. I won't get beat up....scary ass
I came up during the break dance & rap era before anyone had a record deal. We fought with words & dance moves, best era of all times. The real New York!!
Its not really very gentrified. Still a black majority. See the odd hipster walking their dog. Lots of jews in full "gear" though, especially towards Williamsburg
Bed stuy recently got mad gentrified but idk why people act like there’s no more black people there anymore🤦🏾♂️ I promise if U go deep in bed stuy you’ll know what I mean
I love bed stuy my hometown!! I moved when my mom passed away , too many memories!! However, I'm smart as he'll due to bedstuy!! Thank you love u forever!! Poupi
There is no place in the world like bedstuy I remember all the block party's, Jams in the park, cook outs, trips, bus rides!! 80 and 90 was the shit in bedstuy.!!!
The people in New York urban neighborhoods have a lot more sense, peace and love for their communities than any other US urban hood. I’m a snow white male who has been jobbing as an electrician throughout all the 5 boroughs for 20 years and I have seen that the nicest, kindest people are the black people in the so called ghetto neighborhoods. Now, this is during the daylight work hours, I can’t speak on how it would be for me at 1am but then again, I don’t have any business to be out there at 1am, feel me?
Yeah tha plaza had 5 bidues come out 1 night son i was in there xmoking weed i was like whooooooaaaaaaa this shit like freddie movie im from NYC i was like damn this was in the late 90s factzzzz that hood ws like crystal lake kid word son......but we gotta do better man u dont wanna live like that youre whole life G.

This dude you interviewed ain't got any stories to tell at all.. This neighborhood was a million times worse during the crack epidemic of the 80s.. When you were driving through there at night you didn't stop for red lights back in the day
See what some ppl don't know ...some of the ppl being interviewed in these hoods are the ones doing shit so they're gonna make it seem like its not that bad and not say much to protect they're freedom and keep less police around the neighborhood.....it's all apart of the game yaw...and not sayin him specifically, just sayin in general
QueensNative you hit it on the head of the nail. I left in 85 to join the Army. I saw where my life was heading and I wanted better. My last visit was in 06, and felt like the ghost of hoods past. I'll always love BedSty, but life for me is way better and you couldn't offer me anything to come back to live, stay strong Boss!!!
@QueenNative You ain't lied about the crack epidemic in NYC. During the height there was 2500 homicides a year in NYC. In 2019 there were 318 homicides in all of NYC, a city of 8 million people. So no way things were better back then.
Im From L.A. and i can tell you Brookyln wasnt no joke back in tbe day. Gentrification hit hard in Brooklyn. Compton got Gentrified too. Compton look like a paradise today. But Watts and South central is still bad
For those who saying bed stuy ain’t the hood anymore not true he didn’t go through the whole neighborhood bed stuy is big some areas are better than others but to say it’s not the hood anymore is crazy when bro didn’t go through the whole hood and the 79 precinct leading Brooklyn in murders tho that’s facts which covers Bedford-Stuyvesant
@@kitchentimeinc No doubt. I'm in north carolina 1 college grad and two almost done. ENY made me who I am but in life you have to move on to better things. Peace brother and may the most high bless you and your fam
Well I'm from the original (Do or Die) Bed-Stuy era's 1960s-1970s. Born in the late 1950s in Brooklyn. When Bed-Stuy earned that (Do or Die) Moniker for real. Before a Jay Z, Biggie Smalls and any other Rap artist, who say they are from The Stuy. For the most part. They weren't even born yet. Especially when Marcy Projects, belonged to The "Outlaws LTD" The streets were mean. But the residents were still like "it takes a village/community" minded, to raise a child. Where's this brother at in "The Stuy" now for the interview? Back in my day that was old "113 Hellcats" territory. From Sumner & Fulton to Sumner and maybe Madison or Gates. Heading eastward towards Broadway. And all in between from both points. Reid Ave, especially. In my day. People sold dinners, out of their apartments and had Card games. Barbershop's and Shoe Shine Parlor's, ran the numbers. And had dice games, in the backrooms. Black owned corner stores, were everywhere. Mom and Pop eateries, Bar's, Candy Stores and Social Clubs. The kids/Teens, had After Schoool Centers to go too. Like at 262, 35, 258, 304, 93, PS 3 and even PAL on Gates & Marcy, during the 1960s etc... Whether it was the schools itself or churches. Like the Newman Memorial Methodist Church on Throop & Macon. They had a nice afterschool program there (RIP Ms Nelson). There were plenty of talent show contests. Young people had talent. People were more sociable, back then too. Teenagers, played ball sports in Parks. Basketball and Handball. Younger kids played stoop ball, Chinese Handball aka K.I.N.G, Punch ball, sewer to sewer football, Stick ball and Skelley in the streets. Girls jumping rope, braiding boys hair on the stoop. Bed-Stuy was full of life. It wasn't all hopeless, like people try too say it was. We had PAL/WYNN CENTER, Cadet Corps, Boy & Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts & Brownies. We celebrated Brooklyn Day, with two parades. One starting from Jefferson & Marcy to Jefferson & Stuyvesant. Then on Stuyvesant & Gates, towards Fulton. There were jammin block parties, during summertime. Certain parks, would be jammin too. The majority of people were of Black southern roots. And of course blacks from the Islands were in the mix. But mostly Jamaicans, Trini's, some Hatians, Cubans, Panamanians & Puerto Ricans. And Chinese, who didn't disrespect like Asians, do today. Bed-Stuy wasn't totally segregated black back then. You still had a few whites. Leftover from the 1940s still living there too. But the 1950s, 60s & 70s Bed-Stuy had many street gangs also. Too many for me to name in that 30 year span. But I know the names. I started gangbanging in 1969 to 76. Teenage shit. Bed-Stuy also had "Black Panthers" Chapters, there during the 60s too. Let me tell y'all something. You're not old enough to know the original "Do or Die" era's. If you don't remember when the original "79th Precinct" was on the corner of Gates & Throop. Not Tompkins Ave, were it's located at today. Do you know one of the first Arab stores, to open in Bed-Stuy, was in 1973? Right on the corner of Throop & Hancock. That spot was were The Caravan Bar, use to be. I could go on. Bed-Stuy had its issues and was dangerous at times. But you couldn't be scared too live. In closing let me say this. They would've never tried that gentrification nonsense, in the 60s and 70s in Bed-Stuy. Those Hipsters wouldn't been safe. Or made it to the next corner. That's FACTS. Their bikes would've been taken, with them on it. Nonetheless running every damn where. And walking dogs everywhere. Then looking at you. Like you don't belong there today. Robbery and assault statistics, would've been sky high. IJS. That's the Bed-Stuy I grew up in. Where i was grade schooled and street gangbanging educated in.
@Joejoe Blackman No doubt what you're saying. That's the original Do or Die Bed Stuy Brooklyn era's. 1950s, 1960s & 1970s. Those era's is what gave Bed-Stuy it's reputation. Gangbanging streets. Shalam Yawasap Yahawadah Yasharahla
Doesn't look like he got much going on see a brother that ain't got much going positive ain't got much positively to put out on how successfully his poverty turns into wealthy.
The local brother being interviewed reminds me of the scene in Belly when Nas talks about "The straight loser type" dude that was selling dope that he gave that iced out chain to.

Brownsville was the Killing Fields in the early to mid 90’s... I wouldn’t step out without it.
Nope East New York was the murder capital of the city for some years respectfully speaking without glorification.
Taurus L it was rough.
@@kitchentimeinc Yeah man I'm from pink houses and thank god I got out in time.
Taurus L yeah I’m strictly Long Island now. 4 young kids loving life. God Bless

Bad Brooklyn areas are going thru gentrification for a while now.
Exactly put them guns down & put up them gloves 🥊
Man please, people always have been shooting since the cowboy days, never mind the 70s and 80s which were much worse then today.
you got big onions going into some of these jumpoffs!! respect
Lol this was so satisfying to watch ❤️
Thats a real brother!!! Peace to all my brothers!! Much better today then it was back in the day!!
That brother is REAL
Can you also add food in these vids? You know hoods have some good spots to eat at
Sure do.
Well I'm from the original (Do or Die) Bed-Stuy era's 1960s-1970s. Born in the late 1950s in Brooklyn. When Bed-Stuy earned that (Do or Die) Moniker for real. Before a Jay Z, Biggie Smalls and any other Rap artist, who say they are from The Stuy. For the most part. They weren't even born yet. Especially when Marcy Projects, belonged to The "Outlaws LTD" The streets were mean. But the residents were still like "it takes a village/community" minded, to raise a child. Where's this brother at in "The Stuy" now for the interview? Back in my day that was old "113 Hellcats" territory. From Sumner & Fulton to Sumner and maybe Madison or Gates. Heading eastward towards Broadway. And all in between from both points. Reid Ave, especially. In my day. People sold dinners, out of their apartments and had Card games. Barbershop's and Shoe Shine Parlor's, ran the numbers. And had dice games, in the backrooms. Black owned corner stores, were everywhere. Mom and Pop eateries, Bar's, Candy Stores and Social Clubs. The kids/Teens, had After Schoool Centers to go too. Like at 262, 35, 258, 304, 93, PS 3 and even PAL on Gates & Marcy, during the 1960s etc... Whether it was the schools itself or churches. Like the Newman Memorial Methodist Church on Throop & Macon. They had a nice afterschool program there (RIP Ms Nelson). There were plenty of talent show contests. Young people had talent. People were more sociable, back then too. Teenagers, played ball sports in Parks. Basketball and Handball. Younger kids played stoop ball, Chinese Handball aka K.I.N.G, Punch ball, sewer to sewer football, Stick ball and Skelley in the streets. Girls jumping rope, braiding boys hair on the stoop. Bed-Stuy was full of life. It wasn't all hopeless, like people try too say it was. We had PAL/WYNN CENTER, Cadet Corps, Boy & Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts & Brownies. We celebrated Brooklyn Day, with two parades. One starting from Jefferson & Marcy to Jefferson & Stuyvesant. Then on Stuyvesant & Gates, towards Fulton. There were jammin block parties, during summertime. Certain parks, would be jammin too. The majority of people were of Black southern roots. And of course blacks from the Islands were in the mix. But mostly Jamaicans, Trini's, some Hatians, Cubans, Panamanians & Puerto Ricans. And Chinese, who didn't disrespect like Asians, do today. Bed-Stuy wasn't totally segregated black back then. You still had a few whites. Leftover from the 1940s still living there too. But the 1950s, 60s & 70s Bed-Stuy had many street gangs also. Too many for me to name in that 30 year span. But I know the names. I started gangbanging in 1969 to 76. Teenage shit. Bed-Stuy also had "Black Panthers" Chapters, there during the 60s too. Let me tell y'all something. You're not old enough to know the original "Do or Die" era's. If you don't remember when the original "79th Precinct" was on the corner of Gates & Throop. Not Tompkins Ave, were it's located at today. Do you know one of the first Arab stores, to open in Bed-Stuy, was in 1973? Right on the corner of Throop & Hancock. That spot was were The Caravan Bar, use to be. I could go on. Bed-Stuy had its issues and was dangerous at times. But you couldn't be scared too live.
In closing let me say this.
They would've never tried that gentrification nonsense, in the 60s and 70s in Bed-Stuy. Those Hipsters wouldn't been safe. Or made it to the next corner. That's FACTS. Their bikes would've been taken, with them on it. Nonetheless running every damn where. And walking dogs everywhere. Then looking at you. Like you don't belong there today. Robbery and assault statistics, would've been sky high. IJS.
That's the Bed-Stuy I grew up in. Where i was grade schooled and street gangbanging educated in.
@Joejoe Blackman
No doubt what you're saying. That's the original Do or Die Bed Stuy Brooklyn era's. 1950s, 1960s & 1970s. Those era's is what gave Bed-Stuy it's reputation. Gangbanging streets.

I subscribed to you Charlie 👍
Thanks for watching and subscribing.
Are you looking for validation?
Want a cookie
Me too
How is Ocean Hill area? Is it safer better than bed stuy?
Doesn't look like he got much going on see a brother that ain't got much going positive ain't got much positively to put out on how successfully his poverty turns into wealthy.
Atleast he said what mattered the most stop killing each other as blacks
Never judge a book by its cover. I know that Brother very well and he’s doing really good.
good month,good month to our boutiques in brownsville,good month sophie,i love you.
Great interview buddy
Mano ótimo video, deu pra conhecer melhor os bairros !! Muito 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The local brother being interviewed reminds me of the scene in Belly when Nas talks about "The straight loser type" dude that was selling dope that he gave that iced out chain to.
Bushwick is changing....Gentrification is slowing creeping in.
do you kiss your mother with that mouth? Ignorance at it's highest with that comment.
My dad grew up there by DeKalb Avenue on the L train. He said it was the worst, you'd see stabbings and people shooting up dope right on the street.
@jack ramirez Spoken like a 10 yr. old.
Nothing like Brooklyn love 💯💯💯
East NY Gentrification coming for ya next.
