As someone who grew up in the hood in NYC, seeing them glorify this lifestyle is definitely embarrassing. This is nothing to take pride in. The people in this video will never break the cycle.
Ignorance💯
Never say never.
Well yea it’s not something to take pride in I agree. But at the end of the day that is life, their life and lifestyle. They all connect w the same kind of struggles. So in order to keep moving ofc their gonna hold down an integrity of hope and positivity. They not bouta start the video off w having the mentality of ohh you can’t make it from living in the hood.. bc that is not true. Ofc they’d prefer if they were more privileged. So it’s really bout having the perception that’s gonna get you farther from where you began.
This is the worst hood clogs I’ve seen yet. No message at all just a bunch of bums that wanna be like Cali gangs
I’m sorry you feel that way about us, Hope you enjoyed the video tho 🥰
WoW.. its great to see how much pride they have in living and protecting government owned housing. No outsiders allowed... what a great sense of community they share!
Fr tho like some people think it’s bad but they gotta keep what they do have and protect it
Sooo you're stooped got it
ooooooooooooooo gottemmmmmm

I'm from the projects in Brownsville and I got out and raised my kids in a better environment. This is what mental slavery looks like and I am feeling second hand embarrassment.

"If you ain't from here, don't come here "
Don't gotta tell me twice.
I will never complain about having grown up in a "boring" suburban neighborhood ever again. Very grateful that I wasn't born into or raised in this sort of culture.
Fighting over apartment buildings, streets, and neighborhoods that they don't even own. I can't wait until my people wake up and stop playing "their" game.
Those people brought your people here who both shouldn't even be here.
Its called stupidity. Ive been saying it all my life. You claiming a streeet corner and projeoyou dont own! The city of NY owns it dummies. Smh… sad after all these years people still moving in circles
Robert Moses was the creator of the buildings called projects. They were originally for soldiers coming back from war. Those soldiers lived in the projects until they eventually moved out. Robert Moses devised a scheme to have other individuals move in so the cities won’t lose money. Those individuals that moved in sadly never left. Black snd Hispanic people. I am a New Yorker and still live in NY. I know my history. Look up Robert Moses and who he was and what he did. His name is all over NY. He was the head of many government agencies AT THE SAME TIME that dealt with real estate. Long Island Ny is segregated because of him
Man in reality it's like that round the world and it's sad fr. What's even sadder is that it ain't gon change, ain't nobody gon wake up from it.
Funny thing is when they die the streets,apartment buildings etc.. Will still be there..
cant lie when your young its all fun and games, but when your over 40+ and still doing it, and creating future generations of the same loop it makes it sad.
30+ is already pushing it like damn you aint made enough moves to make it out yet?
🔥🔥🔥
@@for.u925 keep it G, 22+ its already dead bro. by then you should be moving different making career oriented choices.
Yeah that mentality, low value gutter mentality only works when you're young enough to make mistakes, it's a life of eating shit if your over 25, 35 might as well die
@@morecarstuff yeah i agree with that I just said 30 for the heads who do time. You can go in at around 18-22 and come out at like 26-28 by 30 you shouldve never went back to the block or with the lil homies
I really understand being proud of where you are from, but these people seem so proud and happy about how violent it is.. this is why things dont change. this is when oppression comes from within.
The hood mentality is like a drug. Its fun but after awhile until you get conditioned. Sometimes u find comfort in the chaos cause its been around so long, but you cant see anything past it. Dont settle for less and dont get distracted by the glitz and glam. Underneath its painful and self reflection hurts more than conditioning yourself to your enviorments. God speed anyone still in the projects and prayers to those trying to hussle and get out
I was born and raised in these same projects. As were my brother and most of my cousins. Grew up rough: No father, mom worked her hardest to keep us safe and out the streets. Got in fights, jumped, shot at, stabbings, all kinda crazy shit. But, never been to jail, never been arrested, finished high school, went to college and everything. I moved to Florida four years ago, got married, have a kid, working on buying our first home. It pains me to see shit hasn't changed.
Congratulations on your new life .
glad u made it out brother... keep grinding

Keep doing your thing!!
God bless you and your family

“If you’re not from here , don’t fucking come here”
Trust me I don’t think anybody wanna go there 😂
Harlem is fine but the projects are a shithole. Funny enough in Williamsburg there are hasidic jews that live in the projects too and its safe af. Its the culture of young black people that keeps them down. Especially gangsta rap music. It did a number on black people.

Pride can come in the strangest forms. Living in a box built by government for containment. Misfortune.
WHOAH....2 powerful short and direct.
I intentionally never made friends where I grew up because I didn’t want to feel like I belonged there.
Real shit
real talk black people need to lear unity
when that's all you have, if course you will be "proud" of that. on a basic level, human beings need to feel prone in something. when you have nothing else going on in your life, your neighborhood (however terrible it might be) can easily become that thing.
Imagine being trapped in the cycle and not even know it
Yes, that is what generations of being segregated into these areas does to you. Make it seem normal and leaving scarier than staying

@@blazedones that was well put. Moving out the bronx was my the best decision I made. Now I own a house in queens and live is good
Good for you! For real, congratulations. I can’t believe these lack of awareness idiots in the video are not aware of their own actions words and decisions. In 2021 everyone has never had more freedom to do as they please with their life. Bottom line none of these people are in better places and situations because they CHOOSE not to. Of course it won’t be easy but it’s their lack of dealing with discomfort that stops them. Just like anything and anyone else that doesn’t improve in (fill in the blank).
Nah man, a lot of niggas know they're in the cycle but accept it
i’m from CT, my mom raised me in the suburbs and i used to know a guy from “the hood” that acted JUST like this. money, acting tough, sneakers, and drugs was all he cared about. he was so proud of this lifestyle, all of the drama and toxicity that came with it, and even said things like, “i’m never leaving the hood.” lived with his mom and his sister who had 2-4 kids all in the same house. it was sad and i often wished he knew and experienced a better way of life, but i’m so glad i no longer associate myself with him or people like this. growing up, my mom always said “birds of a feather flock together.” people like this will do nothing but drag you down and bring chaos and unnecessary drama into your life. you are who and what you choose to surround yourself with.
These videos are really good for the fact that the creator just shuts up and let's the people tell their stories. This is a whole other world for me thanks for putting it out there!
This video hurt my heart... Trauma bonding, misdirected energy and aggression, much needed therapy. I pray for my people, a new environment and different exposure would change a lot of this.
I didn't think of that at first but that's very much true trauma bonding
@@ordinaryextraordinarybrotha human beings are tribalistic in nature, our vibe attracts our tribe. I often think back on all the circles I was amongst in my past and we literally do about 90 - 95% of everything our peers do just because. We adapt to whatever we're around if we're there long enough.
We are confined to the block it’s really crazy.

Wow! This is so sad but eye opening. My mom have moved us to certain areas but nothing like what I have seen in your videos. I see why my mom moved us from the city to the suburbs. City life isn't for the faint of heart, and nothing really strives. It takes strong people to break those generational curses.
I'm so glad my Dad worked hard even moved us to another state to make sure we grew up in a better environment.
If you was raised in the “Hood” , and now you’re raising your kids in the “Hood”…you failed 😞

It’s really cool that after they talked about all that hard stuff they went to the community center and talked about all the things available there.

@@jacobjones4766 Majority of the people doing the criticizing aren't doing shit to change the situation so why speak on other people business?
The wildest part of this is that they sound like they speaking with pride as if it isn’t sad that things are that way. They sound very proud when they’re talking. Shawty was flashing money asking the camera what we know about that but she admittedly is living in one of the poorest parts of the city.

ik that most of that is consignment, when they pay back that front that stack will look a lot slimmer lol.
Exactly. This is nothing to be proud of.
I smoked a joint shortly before watching this. I think I lost more brain cells from the video. It’s been glorified long enough to realize that glorifying has gotten nobody anywhere. And yet they keep glorifying.
Exactly! I can’t believe people still think like this.. so pathetic
Our people are so lost man. Proud to be living in crime, violence, chaos & pain. We glorify the dumbest shit. Who in their right mind would want to go there ?
Agree 100%, I lived in the South Bronx in the 70's vary hard life, got out once an opportunity arose, Joined the Army.

You are not growing as a man or woman. You stuck. Her parents look like cool people. They just never grew up 😔. And lil mama headed down the same road. I like where I live now. The burbs. The sticks. No R.I.P shirts. No arguing and fighting every day. No pissy elevators or stairs. Nobody breaking into the whip. No daily police interaction. Nobody getting robbed, Jumped, stabbed, shot killed or Houses broken into. The projects was a stepping stone for struggling families. You grind. You hustle. You get up out the projects. I don’t care what nobody say. The hood has no love for anybody. The streets will take your family, your friends and even you. There’s a whole world out there. We got one life. And I’m so glad I didn’t let the hood swallow me up and leave me stuck. I go home. I see the fam. They still talking the same ish. Who got shot. Who got killed. Who got locked up. Who on the run. Same convo every year when I go visit. I appreciate what the hood taught me. I appreciate my homies from the hood. But I wanted way more in life. Way more. And I wanted way more for my kids. Way more. Bless to everybody out there in the projects. Don’t glorify it. It’s a prison. Cell blocks. The main yard. Recreation Center. Preparation for a smooth transition from the projects to the prison. Hell no. Not me. I saw that from I was young. You will always love where you were born and raised. But be truthful about it too. Just because you were born into poverty don’t mean you have to stay there. Especially when you in your bag. If you from the project and you got 5 bands on you right now. Move. Texas, Georgia, Florida, Colorado, Tennessee. Someplace nobody knows you. I guarantee within 1 year your whole life will change. You will see your vision, hopes and dreams clearer. And you will accomplish things you never would have imagined….

Hey brother give some games to young kings too show them the way not everyone is smart enough to see the mess their in them selfs sometimes u show people the mess their in so that they can be woke and change them selfs
@@kingstone2457 that’s a fact. Life isn’t easy. Sometimes the most difficult thing we can do is walk away from the life we know to the life we don’t. The crazy part is. It’s the easiest and the fastest path to real growth and self preservation. We all have a purpose and a skill. If you good at selling drugs you can be good at running a business. If you good at writing rhymes you can be good at being an author. If you’re good at stealing cars you can be good at running a repo business. If you a wild boy and like that street action you can put in that same work in a private security company, military, U.S Marshall or the Police. We all have god given talents that we can use for our advancement or our demise. It’s just a matter of choice and making that firm decision to make a change. Even if it means walking away and living thousands of miles away from people you know and love. Our fear of change unfortunately is the reason we have so many of the people we grew up with either dead or doing football numbers in the Penitentiary. We all couldn’t wait to jump off the stoop and run the streets. We need to apply that same passion when it’s time to jump off the streets and into manhood. Many of us wasn’t scared of those streets. Even though we knew what was out there. We heard a million and one horror stories but it didn’t phase us. We were going to make a name for ourselves in the hood. By any means necessary. Even if it meant going up against known killers. We did that. So why would we be afraid to recognize that the streets have an expiration date of 21. If you make it past that, it’s time for phase 2. Take all that you’ve learned. All that you’ve earned. And find your true potential. Leave. Leave the hood. Leave the streets. Go be uncomfortable again. Suburbs. Corporate America. Business ownership. Stand alone again. No friends or family. Just you and the world. Nobody in your ear telling you what you can and can’t do. Just your natural street instinct helping you navigate this thing called life. And when you reach that level of success or accomplishments you never thought you would get to. Go back home and show them what happens when you walk away from the streets and everyone you know. Show them proof that there is a life outside of the hood. And it ain’t that hard. You just have to overcome your self doubt and fear. The reason many of us never see success. True success. Is because success lives on the other side of fear. And once you can push past that fear. Everything you ever wanted is sitting right there waiting for you. 💯🍾🥂
@Black Ops Everything you said is so true and inspiring. I’m trying to get out of the hood (Bronx) and I’m not even apart of the hood politics. I’ve been racking my brain for years.

When I was living in Jamaica, I remember my friend telling me all you need to do is land in New York and you’ll be good. Now that I’m here there are SO MANY FREE PROGRAMS to get jobs, certificate, degrees literally ANYTHING. It’s crazy how people glamorize living like this instead of bettering their life. Stuck in an illusion.
Fact of the matter is a lot of people dunno about all those programs, and on top of that, there is also the environment and pressure to take into account. A lotta people really do grew up getting told and believing the only way out is trap, hoop, or bang. Plus trappin and banging is quicker money than spending a bunch at college for a degree so people go for that. It sucks and hopefully things change but shit is gettin even tougher out here with everything getting even more expensive in NYC.

@@arleneaugustahair8393 financial aid is not free. They will have to pay it back 6 months after their graduation date.

TRUE indeed. When I seen that mother/daughter duo, I had a lost for words.
Trust me it’s not as bad as they are making it out to be. If you’re not from New York and you watch this video you would think it’s the worst place in NYC. I’m not in any way saying the neighborhood is so far anything but it’s far from the most dangerous neighborhood in New York. I know people from that neighborhood, used to pass through, it’s just Harlem and along with people from Harlem will tell you you got to go to the higher numbers for it to really get wild.

Man, if it wasn't for the background of crime, poverty and "hood" stuff i'd love to live in a community like that. From the outside it seems like they all know each other, hang out together and stay close. Kinda reminds me of when I was a kid in the pre-internet era. I don't know why in wealthier communities you see this less and less. So sad to see this only in poorer and more dangerous places.
I feel like this is life necessity there, it's like prison mentality, in violent place to have some peace you need people behind you and they need you too.
In more normal places your block doesn't have to be your friends and extended family, you can have your own friends people you chose, and hangout wherever you like without fear.
We normalize the chaos here. Yes, it's called being dysfunctional.
"We normalize the chaos.." All that needed to be said..
I'm wondering how the f*** do you normalize chaos
That's all I needed to hear. I appreciate the honesty🤷🏽

They be saying "If you ain't from here don't come". They say that like it's a fucking 5 star resort 😂😂😂
I live in a somewhat hood and I dont get involved in any of the politics, I stay indoors do my thing, can't wait to get out and see the world.

Good for you. I wish you all the success in the world.
@@alexbaum2204 i don’t hate the area per se, just a lot of shady people trying to make others lives miserable
This is some form of emotional distress or mental illness. The fact that you can be proud to be in or from a place where you’re so oppressed by your own kind that the defenses to not become a victim take precedence over everything. It’s terrible and mind blowing but only from the outside looking in
Honestly, harmony between the oppressed and the oppressors that isnt known
@@artdealerss it is known only when the oppressed don’t know it
There's nothing wrong with being proud of surviving hard times. Y'all too sensitive nowadays.
@@Oldheadontheblock they dont just survive...it's almost as if this is what they want in life and don't want to improve their situations. Ironically, the cops they dismiss actually had to attempt to improve their lives by working their way up. These people appear to survive by engaging in illegal activity and threaten violence proudly.
@@Oldheadontheblock. Even with criminal records, there are ways too move out. They're not the first with criminal records. Not an excuse.These people are grown adults and need to be educated. The fact that the girls mother is proud that her daughter is living this life tells me everything I need to know.
As long as they're as far away from me as possible. Scott Adam's was right
I was raised rough but I WAS RAISED RIGHT. INTEGRITY , CHARACTER AND SELF-RESPECT IS SORELY LACKING IN THESE COMMUNITIES
I'm originally from Bed-stuy. I currently live in Harlem. I have a job and a bachelor's degree, working on my masters in public health. I say this to say that the way they are living is a choice. Here in NYC you can go to community college for free. There are so many programs to help people better themselves. Black people, we have enslaved ourselves. Sad
Programs pfttttttttt
Completely agree!!
You right except for that last line, WE didn’t enslave ourselves. THEY did, the system is working just how they want it to. Jails are modern day slavery & the powers at be keep pumping the bullshit to promote this lifestyle. Hip hop & rap plays a major part of this shit, glorifying it. We as a ppl are definitely learning & getting more hip to the fact that there’s so much more to life then what they showed us
FACTS salute to you. I am from Brooklyn to East New York so even though the dude on this neighborhood might be upset you and I both know that is not one of the worst neighborhoods in New York they need to cut it out and go do some with their lives
College free up dur?
the fact they said they normalized the bs is sad people don't even wanna do better
Some are scared to do better because the others will look down on the one who wants better for there selves
@@rehyeambrown8565 crab mentality
@@rehyeambrown8565 this is very true
I'm from the Bronx, Gunhill Projects. As soon as I made some money I dipped from the City. Love NY but shits wild I couldn't raise my kids in that jungle.
I grew up in the South Bronx 139th Brook ave.
It's pathetic. So glad i escaped east new york. So proud I'm raising my kids in the suburbs
I’m from Brooklyn where i raised two sons, i didn’t want my sons to become one of these men, so i moved down south, raised them as a single mother on a correctional officer salary, i thank god everyday that i moved, in my eyes i saved my sons from the environment they were born into.

I’m very happy that I was raised differently even though my family had no money. Taught me the values of success

Yeah that's why Elon Musk moved into a 50K tiny house 🏠
She lost already
CZcams censorship is wrong
She not a fan of losing money but scams people for money ?😂😂😂🤦🏽♂️
This shit sad... embracing misery. The chick happy her moms raised her that way and moms even happier. Everybody showing money and supposedly rich but didn’t take that money to move out the piss, rat, broke elevator infested community. Chick told the cops go home to your wives yet she may never known what a wife is. They said if you’re not from around there don’t come there, referring to ppl who look like them but other colors and cultures come there and take over yet they’re safe.
That’s government money too…trust
That young sister may never be a wife,especially not with her mentality.
Yea that's what's crazy to me,that self hate is real. When you don't know who you are you allow society to tell you who you are.
@@davidnoble6766 And did she say she wanted to be a wife is every woman’s duty to be a wife to someone some peoples nightmares or other peoples dreams and vice versa
They don't want people of other colors, races and cultures to go there and nobody brings it up that that's racist right there but if they go to a nice town and start problems and chaos and we say we don't want them not because of their color but because of how they act, we get called racists and put on blast on social media. I will never understand the mindset.
I loved this video.
Listening to her talk and then when my man’s said “we normalize the chaos over here” automatically shook my damn head.
As a mother I wouldn’t be bragging on the side of the street knowing the hardship and wanting my children to be included in that, hyping knowing how tragic it all is. It’s a sad cycle and it is really distressing to watch and listen too.
Blind leading the blind
@@1moetime123 exactly and that’s the next generation
It's sad.
Yikes, that's the future generation raised from the prior generation. Ugh. 🤬
Thats what these people do though. They dont know any better and they dont want to learn.
Its taken them 160 years to recover from slavery and still havent, and yet we got poor Vietnamese farmers that survived the war and lost everything that arrive in LA and 5 years later theyre putting their kids through college and buying a home because they give a damn about this country and this world, unlike some people...
I was raised in the projects and did not realize at that time that I was growing up there that I didn't know shit about real life. I graduated school and went to the Air Force, I was so fucking behind the mentality of the other kids, I had to catch up quick. The hood did teach me the art of the hustle, how to read people's intentions, and it put that fight in me but I had to learn some self-control and gain some wisdom. No judgment on my people but man this is definitely an alternate reality. I will always have an affinity for the kids that came up in the bricks like me but I got to let them know there is another way. Much love yall, stay alive, and when you see a kid trying to get out, let him out, let him live if chooses another way.
I grew up in the hood too. I didn't grow up in the P's but I'm sure our income would have qualified us for it.
I've since made it out. I've made something of myself and live a very comfortable life.
Seeing that mother and daughter just made me so thankful for my parents. They didn't have much in terms of money but they instilled good values and a strong work ethic into my sisters and I. We've all graduated college. We're all homeowners. Two of us are millionaires. We built a house for our parents in the Dominican Republic. We did all of this with very little resources.. Just determination and the understanding that our parents didn't make their sacrifices or work 75 hours a week for nothing.
Honestly.. If you're from the hood and you stay long enough to raise your own kids there you've done something wrong..
Failure is often a mindset.
Everything that came out that mans mouth was depressing.
This is your life when u see nothing else.. no overseas travel no learning other cultures.but we glorify this aspect .. Hold the L for this mentality..
You forgot the most important - no education.
ye23 they have education but take it for granted. I know people in 3rd world countries who would kill for their spot, these people are complaining about the conditions smh.
Yeah this aint the flex they were thinking it was.
America hold this L . How do you hold a L for something your born into and something the government created.
@@bobbyonasis stop using that Weak ass excuse all black people always want to say they was born into it like shut up stop making excuse for not getting off your ass I’m young and black that live in the hood Biggs not trying to hear them excuses
Watching these vlogs really makes me appreciative that my Mom made it out of “the hood” & provided a better environment for me and my little brother.
Same and my mom has become a master at saving and budgeting
Me too! My mom started to see my bro slipping down that path and took our behinds from the projects to the boondocks lol. Country as heck town. Only cornfields around. I hated it with a passion growing up. I felt so far from my original friends and like I was missing out being not in the city. Now I look back as an adult and I recognize the blessing that that truly was and that my mom truly is. My bro graduated college went into the military and I snagged me a career traveling the world for a living. Who know what would have happened if we had stayed in the gutter and got caught up in this lifestyle. So grateful. Mom's that get us out of this are heros and the ones that are still there but fighting to get out God bless you! We love you too!
Amen ! Props to MOM!
@@chenanigans no hell no thank god I did grow up around white people
Me moving to the projects 3yrs ago or so worse thing ever and the issues I’m experiencing just mother & child seeing how proud these individuals are the project life isn’t for me I must take my child out of this my mom never had me grow up this way I’m counting our days 2022
I like that there’s a sense of community they all know each other , I don’t know my neighbours let alone all the people living around me
I'll be dammed if my daughter is walking around the same block's I use to run.
Same here for my son.... :)
What block did you run?
Was NOT having in. 😡😡
REAL 💯
He used to run the burbs
This is definitely a mentality. I grew up in the hoods of Los Angeles and I got out. I refused to start a family in that environment. I moved to a whole different state. My babies are sheltered frfr. I plan to keep it that way. I know what the streets can offer. I refuse for my children to take any parts of the offerings. As much as I use to love the hood cause it help make me who I am I also despise it for the trauma it's caused.
@@ashidothemadman thank you for parenting advice I didn't ask for. I'm sure your advice will work well for your children though. I'm from the streets, I think protecting them is a good thing. You have no idea what I've seen in them streets. I be damned if my daughter turn 12 and start hooking. I be damned my son turn 12 and kill somebody or they both end up on drugs. Make sure your children don't. 🤦🏾♀️
mane shut da hell up☠️☠️☠️
Good for you! I’m sure it was not an easy road to get yourself out of the hood. You clearly have a good head on your shoulders and are smart. You wanted better for your kids and did what you had to do in order to elevate your situation and circumstances. If more people had your mindset a lot of people would have better outcomes in life and the cycle would hopefully one day be broken for good! Too many people have a victim mentality and that doesn’t get anyone anywhere! Only you have the power to change your surroundings and change your path in life! I commend you!
Suscribed. Wonderful snapshot.
I’m from Harlem and I know these projects. I used to hangout with a couple middle school friends that lived there and I used to always be scared asf going by there after school. I was fine and my friends folks were nice to me but I was still scared. I was a teenager. What a time that was! Seen many fights smh. Very sad. I remember back then thinking I can’t believe people are ok with this.
Braids :Don't come here!
Gurl we not , we don't, we won't. It's all yours. Nothing going on but nobody's proclaiming to be somebody. Take that money and invest it on a life. A real one💯
She can't invest that. That's supposed to be her rent 😕
I love Harlem but damn its 2021, we still gloryfying the hood smh. Drew Hamiliton raised me though, god bless yall.
I wanted to say theyre just young lost kids but the girls father and mother were also encouraging it. Some ppl are just stuck in that cycle and will never get out
Lol Drew Hamilton was home for me to from 1967 until 2006 I had good times in 200 but yes there is life outside of the project's.

Wow amazing work sir...I have been watching yo' HoodVlogs alot lately...I think its safe to say that I can relate to how these people feel or for those who made it out of the hood cuz I come from a middle class family but since 2013 it all went downhill for me and I literally lived in ghetto neighborhoods here in the Philippines...but I think its safe to say that the "hood life" they are goin thru isn't that bad at all...hell, compared here in the Philippines I'm in Baguio City...we don't got projects like in the U.S and we had to live in neighborhoods in rentable spaces or apartments and I gotta say its a hell lotta worse than what I have seen in the hoodvlogs the apartment spaces,bedspaces are ALOT worse that what I've seen here in the video, lol the U.S project houses look 3 star luxury cribs compared to what we have here that we call decent...And If there is free education or work or programs within the hoods there in the U.S like what some comments mentioned here then they are far (miles) away livin' better lives than what we are going thru...here in our hoods people are "LITERALLY POOR" even the ones who finished college degrees like me - the job opportunities are close to none and have tougher situations than these people seen in the video where we got no community centers, no free programs or jobs lol...In all honesty and respect ayt...I really think the ones in the video are purposely doing,staying in the hood cuz they love that "gang life". I'm dead sure no cap that these people in the video they prolly eat three times a day and got people offering them a better way of life but they just choose to stay "hood" but nevertheless its none of my business...its just that some people are handed better lives man...they just fail to see how luckier they are compared to others.

The pebble beach part is some of the funniest ish I've ever heard
Fosta is a baby Brownsville. My grandmother called the roof pebble beach. So nostalgic to watch 🥰
It's funny to me that he thinks the beach is an "extravagant" place to take a date. I use the word "date" very loosely.
Every project calls they roof pebble beach that aint new, same shit in the one i grew up in
I love NYC. I don't care how hard they saying it is it is beautiful regardless of the violence. the styles/cultures are just amazing.
I'm from grew up in Westchester County, and I used to work w a kid from them projects in Harlem nerdy as can be. He told me he had never been in a fist fight his whole life. I was like NEVER; meanwhile, I stayed scrapping, and I was kind of shocked he being from Harlem projects! I'm sure it is rough there no disrespect, but I think this video was overly hyped!
