- Here's a documentary we did in the Parkway Gardens Projects a.k.a. O Block in Chicago, featuring interviews with O Block rappers like Boss Top, Shoebox Baby, and G Nuk, as well as discussions with Adam22 and DJ Akademiks in regard to the role that CZcams gang content and internet street gossip play in escalating real-life violence in the streets.
Also, though he didn't get much screen-time, one of the people who helped put this all together and arrange interviews was Munna Ikee, a young O Block rapper and singer. He would like me to share his music here if you want to check it out - / munnaikee

It's like the General Mosquito vs. General Mosquito Spray warlord beef.

Perfect way to lighten up the mood
getting a cut from you would lighten the mood.
And it was instantaneous, too!
That was the best part.
Nailed that one
Lfg, love it
actually really liked that he asked if they’ve ever been to other areas of chicago or travelled & invited them to see the game w him, it probably reminded them they can do that, bc when things become really routine you forget you have options so that part was actually pretty sweet
It was sad n hits different wen u kno wat thats like growing up here in this city not bein able to go 3blocks bcuz if u do? U may not come bck.. crazy bt thats wat life is like for sum here
Dude how about you actually spell words out. Just cause you live in the ghetto doesn't mean you gotta drag that trash spelling everywhere
Ima get hate for this but hot take Chief keef is a legend he made OBlock a legendary block in rap at the age of 15 that he got a white man going there to interview gang bangers
Yea it’s insane, most of Chicago is pretty dope to experience especially in summer it’s not a bad lifestyle but once you go to the south/south west it’s a different world entirely
Chief keef is literally a legend imo the fact a 16 year old kid literally made OBlock basically a tourist attraction hood is crazy .
This man will forever be protected in all these dangerous areas due to the amount of love he actually shows. This brother aint another adam22 who loves making content without ever Associating with them outside of that let alone take them to a white sox game. Respect goes a long way and andrew will always be welcomed and protected in the "trenches". You get the energy you put out, its universal law. Salute Brother
Isn’t adam22 just having sex with other dudes now
the fact that you think that is cute. they don't care about that man the same way they didn't care about Zacktv. He is serving his purpose for now and the first time he records or puts out the wrong thing he will be checked. don't act like one of those white boys who thinks because he watches hood videos he knows how the hood works or thinks.
U dumb
The way the joy exploded out of his face when Andrew asked about his best memory with odee was so sweet
Not Joy tho. That big smile got a lot of pain and is a tactic to not cry. For sure he happy remember the old days, but inside its a different thing.
@@CLZPRIDE0123 yeah I mean humans have complex thoughts and feelings about things, but why must you make him suffer in your mind? Why can’t you just hope it’s only joy in that smile?
@@barelyontime bc its obvius; that smile is not pure joy, there is a lot of pain right there. Bc is not a pure smile, you can see that when your looking into his eyes.
@@CLZPRIDE0123 again human emotions are complex. You are allowed to feel more than one emotion about things. When someone mentions people I knew who passed away I feel happy recalling the good and sad thinking about the fact that they’re gone.

@@barelyontime like he said ''everyone in this b***cth got ptsd''

As drunk as that guy was at the end, his thoughts mimicked mine as I went through his experience (although his were much slower) but I literally wish every single driver on the roads had this man's mentality. "Him passing is not affecting my existence" is how I summed up his drunk utterances but I think they are extremely profound and something to be acknowledged
Yeah that dude was awesome, clearly got a lot of empathy for people even if they're not on his "side"
make it the best you can for everyone
We all affect each other with every interaction. The sooner we acknowledge that, the better.
These dudes are so full of personality I could listen to them all day I swear
The way the young guy in the beginning said "I just want to be successful." hit me really hard, really feel for that dude.
Honestly broke my heart when I saw the look on his face after, prayers and success for the homie🙏🏿

this still one of the most powerful documentaries out there. Thank you Andrew
this was so good no additional commentary just letting everything speak for itself
The dichotomy between the worldy concerns of the O Block residents and those of the White Sox attendees hit me deep
This is exactly where I'm at. Impossibly different worlds, but only a couple of miles away from each other.
the juxtaposition nearly gave me whiplash
How he conceptualizes his videos on top of just being hilarious blows my goddamn mind.
In my opinion Chief keef is a living legend he made OBlock a iconic block and made drill music go global he deserves his flowers while he alive
@@TannerGoated definitely made a impact in the genre and I don't even do rap much and will acknowledge this.

Same here. I replayed that part a couple times, his facial expression changes so quickly.
yeah for real, It's a nice reminder that no matter what circumstances you come up in that, happiness is what you make of it along side with genuine friends
It's great interviewing, kinda pulling him out of the loss and into the good memories.
Ngl, the dude would intimidate the hell out of me, but that scene really highlights the humanity in people. He's clearly been through a lot
Definitive journalism. The story is bigger than life. 💯
I absolutely love how neutral your videos are, keep doing your thing.

Hearing them say they never really even left the block and went to a game or went downtown is honestly really sad they basically lost their entire lives to the violence and seeing them all go out and enjoy themselves at a baseball game has to be some of the most wholesome moments I’ve witnessed cause in that moment they actually are just chilling having a good time and not surrounded by all their trauma from losing so many friends. Great reporting as always. Props to him for going to one of the most dangerous spots in the us to show the real human side that news and media never cares to show.
They can save up their money and take their ass to a baseball game instead of buying weed or stupid shit they just want to sit there and gangbang and play victims. Teach a 2 yr old "gdk". They need to listen to kanye. It's their own damn fault.
@@commenting000 at least they have people that care about them weirdo
That’s what I’ve noticed with a lot of ppl from the hood, they never leave those few blocks. Even here in LA. If they’re from Inglewood or south central they don’t venture too far from those areas at all, so when they go to a place like Burbank
, they’re like wow, this is so peaceful, it’s the same in Chicago, most of the crime is contained to just a few blocks, where all the murders occur. Like if they got out of there, it would change.
@@JB-xj4rn damn bro you really made an account just to post racist comments on peoples posts all day. that’s pretty sad. I hope you get better and realize that there’s more to life than just hate.

This channel does a great job at making me feel like a normal, well-adjusted person. Thank you Channel 5.
"Drama makes money"
That really sums up the reason why violence is promoted so much

Andrew never clowned on anyone, they clowned themselves. He just held the mic.
@@ShoopityDoopity yeah and no jumper and dj akademics didnt help to promote gang violence, they just made videos about it...

@@Wubsaurus whats your point? Andrew really didnt clown anyone. Hes a journalist and the stuff he chooses to cover just so happens to be weirder things. or the kinda stuff you wouldnt normally see covered in mainstream news outlets. i never once watched a video and thought he was clowning people, just give us a peak behind the curtains of various communities.
You literally can see the pain in his eyes when he was asked about the year 2011, But andrew’s question about the memories cheered him up immediately.
I loved that part. He seemed so happy to be talking about his friends past
@@twinkletoes8094 Yeah, so happy to recount when he hit a dog lmao

"thats all i wanna be is successful"
man you can see the pain in these dudes eyes. i hope homies make it out
Even when they make it most times they don't grow and drop that mentality. Eventually they get killed or locked up cause that mentality stuck in them.
I saw that. He was thinking hard on that. I have faith he will make it
He needs an education that will open more doors not just rapping or playing ball. Education is the key to success, unfortunately these kids get very little of it
@@theoffshoot8798 millions are spent on these hoods - the financial drain that are inner city communities on tax payers is INSANE. The average white american pays almost 100k in taxes over their lives to support poor black communities. At some point its on them to fucking man up and live an honest life. We're struggling too, and our tax dollars are funneled to kids who get excited about killing each other and laugh at "yt peepo" for being the suckers footing the goddamn bill.

this really is a great documentary, the presentation is great as well as the topics are necessary for people to know about and understand. Great topics and interviewing style. this is how journalism should be.
Lowkey bro this vid was beautiful
Damn this hit hard. Being from Chicago and living in the south side for all of my life, it’s so easy to just brush off the news of someone dying due to gun violence every weekend. Thank you for humanizing this whole situation.
I know exactly how you feel my friend, I was born, raised and still living in Chicago, the Pilsen area where Little Village is as well.
Chicagoans are very desensitized to violence because every single time you put on ABC, NBC, CBS, WGN or Fox Chicago news, you hear and see nothing but the aftermath of violent shootings or muggings where groups of men rob, beat up and sometimes kill an innocent victim who is probably just trying to go to work to make an honest living.
One of the few good things about living in Chicago is the thick skin that you develop while spending most of your life living in Chicago, we also develop a six sense and look over our shoulder whenever we travel around the city.
I do love this city so much, it will always be home to me, I just wish that people acknowledge the many other good things about Chicago, and not keep calling it the worst city to live in because of the violence.
Stereotypical blacks who refuse to break the cycle and democrat voters who are too woke to hold them accountable
Was thinking the same thing, i was thinking about this if art its pushing more violence or is the violence imitating art. Being from south side of the chi this felt personal and close.
In my opinion Chief keef is a living legend he made OBlock a popular block around the world . And made a whole sub genre go global at 15 he deserves his flowers while he alive . I’m whit and know the impact Sosa have on my generation
@@TannerGoated yea glorifying murder is good for younger generations haha
The immediate switch in Boss Top when you said 2011 just shows all the trauma he has to suppress to keep moving forward. Huge respect to the people who were interviewed that acknowledged the mental health aspect that everyone in this video is dealing with. Someone looks fine and all you have to do is say one word to trigger a response. As someone with PTSD, that response was like looking in a mirror, and really reflects what's under the surface.
Getting cornered by a system makes real PTSD. Areas for people who want to, not walk through them - just have to not walk through it. just because someone doesn't like their area , does not mean it is unsafe. maybe someone & individuals are protecting their area in self defense. its just the cops and other people starting rumors , from the WASPY
Trauma just from hearing about your friend dying?
Okay.

Seeing his face change when Andrew brought up the year 2011 was so heartbreaking, I think anyone who’s lost someone they love like that knows that sucker punch in the gut feeling when you have to explain it to a stranger.
The last guy really tied this whole topic all together. It doesn’t matter if you’re on the same team or not. We’re all fellow human beings and we gotta stand up to let eachother through sometimes. Atleast that’s what I think after I just took 5 blinkers
I was just about to type this. I’m glad you pointed it out man. People are so disconnected with reality when we mindlessly consume shit on the internet. We forget the humanity in these people who’s problems are being exploited for views and profit. People who won’t help the situation, but add fire to the flames and stay unaffected.
The fact that the guy at the end was able to perfectly tie the themes in the video was amazing, as it was hella coincidental.
At the end of the day, Boss Top and the people he loves are still human beings who just wanna do normal human things - like go to a baseball game. It was depressing hearing the shift in his tone reminiscing about his lost friends. Top, hope everything good man.

i'm glad this video shows the love between brothers, i grew up with a lot of friends that were from the hood and they still my day 1s forever man, the more priveleged friends i had growin up were never as loyal, they wouldn't have ur back if shit was going down
Andrew’s journalistic talent along with the hilarious editing speaks for itself. But can we PLEASE acknowledge this dude’s knack for spotting flat earthers at any event.
Also we all really needed that after how depressing the first part of the video is.
It's simple, find the guy without gorms.
I’m so glad you’re entertained. As a black woman, this breaks my heart. The shit that perpetuates throughout the black community is devastating.
Again, I’m glad you enjoy it.
His bias is blatant. He mocks anyone right of centet while glorifies his lefties.
He isnt a journalist but a propagandist ay this point. His ukraine coverage is proof beyond a doubt. Watching him mock people whilr allowing thesr worthless people have a voice is evidence enough
@@kayemendi4501The culture is too blame, but your peiple reveal in it
RIP to all of the lost loved ones on O Block u are remembered
I know for a fact I was subbed to this channel...multiple times ive had to re-subscribe
I know Andrew has been having difficulty figuring out how he wants his documentaries to be, but I think this shows great use of both the serious side and the funny side of the world. Keep up the great work would love to see more with the same style.
What makes you think he is having difficutly? Andrew is able to transcend all borders and connect with anyone. He acknowledges himself in one of his episodes. He is doing exacly what he intends.
@@LuisR3yes He's spoken about this issue on interviews and podcasts, its something that he admits openly about dude
@@LuisR3yes he's said it multiple times
Bro we are all just the epitome of sperm
Yeah this form keeps you hooked, but he probably still wants to improve!
This might be the most real news report I've ever seen. No over dramatization and bombardment of negative outlooks, just real people talking and going to the game :) I love this show
opening bit was kind of dope accapella and everything even had his friends for the adlibs
He brought all of the squad to the White Sox. One of the sweetest things ive ever seen. Awesome man.
Andrew is genuinely going to be one of those legendary journalists that we hold everyone else up to as a litmus
Nardwar levels of longevity
Our generation's Louis Theroux
Or walter cronkite for boomers
Charles Kuralt , "on the road" vibes for real
You can really tell that this was a passion project for Andrew. Well done.
def not lol. he would’ve known boss top is the last person to interview
@@xzxmemoxzx why’s that?
@@xzxmemoxzx You dont know shit quit pretending
Can you
@@capt.obvious9058 Andrew has been conversing about the subject matter of this video for months, Ignorance
Great work as usual
0:33 when the young boy said all I want to be is successful but the look in his eyes is heartbreaking. I hope and pray he finds his passion and makes it out
I love how he treated Boss Top and all his kids to a White Sox game. That broke my heart when he said he hadn’t really been outta OBlock his entire life. I live in Atlanta and have been to countless Braves, Falcons, and Hawks games and have never thought much about it. The small things we are blessed with that we take for granted!
Goes to show just bc u famous doesn’t always mean u rich. A lot of these rappers rly don’t make much
@@uncletheoneshotkid3001yeah like ferry wap is in prison for selling crack cocaine
@@uncletheoneshotkid3001 Yep, even big rappers don't make as much as they present themselves to make, the label/Spotify etc. are always the ones actually profiting

@@eazycapo5606 no not on God spook find some damn respect for our heavenly father and yourself while you're at it.
I wonder what he thinks about HIV?AIDS being a member of the race of people that are the most infected on this planet?
HAHAHAHA
Channel 5 crew captures the best footage & interviews i swear
He lost his best friend more than a decade ago and you can tell how it left mental scars. I think he never recovered, because he lives in a hyper masculine environment, where you can't show emotions like sadness as they will be understood as weakness.
That really hurts to see, I would like to just give him a hug. I'm not even joking.
Those first 40 seconds displayed the reality of bro just wanting to be successful and make it out that life it was all in the eyes mad respect
Seriously. Kids shouldn't have to deal with or think about worries like that.
So much range of emotion just in his eyes alone.

No matter what the subject, Channel 5 does some of the most honest, hard-hitting reporting on any platform, bar none.
