You really changed my perspective of life Im glad you gave me an opportunity to show what my community is like & my life appreciate you.. My life finna change for sure
Thank you for having me out there Ron. you’re a super genuine person, ive been bumping your music!! I’m excited to see your journey brother ❤❤❤
w
I’m finna go bump those songs right now 🎉
My nigga ron got my sub off protecting Buck-shawt at all costs. real stand up general no bap
You’re an amazing young man & you are capable of MANY great things.. this video was a just one great thing you’ve been apart of! Keep going bro ❤️
S.o to that guy who said "ill protect you with my life i promise"
thats yp tae. younggpainterr on instagram. show him some love for that
@@BrandonBuckingham Will do that straight away. Gotta support the real ones. Talking about real ones. You're a real one. Always enjoying your videos man. Keep that shit up !
@@BrandonBuckinghamyeah lil bro one of them you gotta come out his hood next (Hillside) you’ll love it
Nothing to protect it was Shamrock the Block, an event where white ppl all come out and get Irish drunk downtown. Dude was just overwhelmed by crowds and it was kinda reckless that the kid was walking around with his hand in his jacket holding like things were going off when in reality its a huge crowd of bystanders
Same guy that told the little kid, "You ain't a fan, you our friend."
That guy seems really cool.
At the end when he told the kid “you not a fan, your our friend man” i loved that. That’s what its all about, we all we got fr
Facts!!❤
as a Richmonder there are other projects and communities in Richmond that statistically have more violent crime today but the history in Jackson ward runs deep
This is true. At least this CZcamsr called the project what it is, Gilpin Court. The Mont guy kept saying Jackson Ward which really short changes the vastness of the Jackson Ward area. All the businesses, houses, it’s more or less a district/zone of Richmond City. As you know, Gilpin Court is a housing project within the district/zone of Jackson Ward. This is for those who don’t know the area.
As a fellow Richmond native my family grew up here back in the day and remembers the 90s when it bad bad in Richmond when we would visit from New Jersey. But eventually we all came back down here right now. I’m off monument Avenue and I love it at times It can bring down here but the vibes here are very chill
I’m about to move like a block over near VCU is it safe over there 😭
@@phillipsanchez2588 yeah that’s where and why I live here you’ll be fine don’t cross the bridge at night lol
I remember in the mid 90's, Richmond was ranked in the Top 5 most dangerous cities a few times.
One thing I really like about Brandon is he doesn’t control the video because he knows he can’t just go into other peoples homes and lives and control them he gives them respect. Like scenes where he’s literally in the background while other people are on camera
im happy you understand the mission brother
Facts I like how he represents himself
@@BrandonBuckingham def love the fact that you are shining the light on the city that's tuff because we get over looked on so many levels
homie said "im sober" then chugged half a bottle of jack lol
Peep game
😂😂😂😂 Chill I be sober fr did it for buck
I didn't even realize hahaha
@@ronbandup Yessir, for sure. I checked out Jo Mode, keep doing your thing
we were celebrating
Ron bandup was the Man. Everyone else nowdays always got to be a tough guy and act like they're about that life But Ron was Different he Had Positive Vibes and Was always smiling. thats the kind of dude that can go anywhere in the world and make friends. Shout out to him
I'm from the 757 but this was refreshing to see Virginia get some positive attention finally lmao
Just wanted to update y’all PawPaw is back home and recovering from his brain bleed. Thank you to everyone who sent kind messages, we still have a ways to go but things are looking much better this week.
PS: huge shoutout to RonBandUp and YP Tae for keeping me safe during this video!
PS PS: I filmed the wildest video ever with Skrilla and YBC Dul in kensington two days ago. gonna drop it next week be on the lookout.
Good to hear!
Hope you guys can still do some wild road trips.
Stay safe! 🖤
Fan-fkng-tastic my friend ✌ 💜🍀
don't worry pawoaw
its a recoverable injury🙏
PawPaw ❤❤❤
Come and slap the back with me in Amsterdam!!!!!
Bro with the flip phone is about as stand tall as it get for sayin he’d protect you n for tellin the kid he not Just a fan. Wholesome episode fr much love

Ron Bandup seems like such a nice guy I hope this video helps bring him success
YESSSS
like for sure man like i hope he has his success like
I dont even like rap and im prayin for his success 🙏
legit all of these guys seem so nice. I know it's a hood but it seems like people care about each other.
@@jorgeenchiladapeople form richmond are very chill.
Local Virginian here. Was super stoked to see you covering the area 🙌 Shoutout RVA 804
same i was shocked
Imagine saying gangster and Virginia in the same sentence
I know I was just at Jackson ward yesterday coppin bud
I said the exact same thing
@@christoner2666 it’s hoods everywhere. That’s how I know u ain’t no real street mf.
This is actually a very positive video. 🎉🎉Everyone in the projects aren’t what people assume! Ron seems like the sweetest guy! I love this!
Are u from Richmond?
“Damn that’s crazy… Shout out the US” - 😭
No one talking about the flip phone and the distorted music 😭😭
listening to a song off the flip phone is hilarious
@@BrandonBuckinghamthis shi reminding me of how I'm living in da grove in texas trying to make it out 🙏🙏
He was spitting tho
I would LOVE to know where he got that flip phone.
@@SarahTrpelivostwalmart
RonBandUp's energy is infectious man. 😄
fr bro is a straight vibe
Universe doesn’t forget people like that
True, stupidity is a disease
@@christoner2666 What a zinger you goober.
Talking about yourself in the comments is weird dude I think that dopes getting to your head@@christoner2666
Im from Bronx, New York and moved to the northside of Richmond back in 2017. I did uber and lyft and used to drive around the Jackson Ward area, and yes, they are notorious. BUT, like dude said, if you dont look for trouble, you are good money. I used to get customers from all the court housings (projects how we say in New York), and these kids schooled me to how things are in those hoods. I remember one time I drove a family to Mosby Courts, and these people was having a block party. I told them now thats how you do it, we all laughed. The girl even asked, would I like to vibe out with them. If i didnt have to make money, i would have. Again, dont look for trouble, you good to go.
They say projects everywhere bro and you know this
@@blacksheep9278 Not here in Richmond they dont. Some of the kids just say Courts, and they had to school me.
“I’ll protect you with my life bro” that was real 😂
Dude is right about the DMV. Northern VA ain't nothing like Richmond. Richmond has it's own flavor and culture. It's actually awesome. All the places (Dc MD & VA) got their own flavor. Blessings to you Buckingham for sharing the light energetic people of Richmond 🪻✨
True. Alexandria, Fairfax, Crystal city all DMV, Fredericksburg is stretching it. Richmond is an hour south from Fredericksburg which is an hour south of DC. I'd say with anything within an hour is DMV "metro Area".
@@antonjamesburkealexandria, woodbridge, dale city, haymarket, leesburg are the cut-off ❌
Yup Baltimore like an hour away from dc its dmv richmond is its own thing surrounding suburb and metro thing is facts
@@fasow100bmore is not the dmv bud
@@antonjamesburke
An HOUR outside the Metro 🤦🏽♂️ 😂
DMV is the Metro line ONLY.
If it doesn’t have a Metro Rail running through it, it’s the outskirts.
Period.
Shoutout Richmond 🫡
Big AyeeMont!! thanks for lining up the video brother!! we got a big one tomorrow
free ky he real life hard asl
I don’t know anything about how the hood works from an inside perspective, but I like how the majority of this video it was all about positivity. “If you don’t have beef, then don’t start beef. It’s not worth it”
Soooooo, this was an interesting clip. Students from a highschool I used to work at. They educated me on information I had no clue about. Respect 👊🏾 for the lesson back✌🏾
Bro really pulled out the flip phone and had CZcams open and instagram 😂 real trap phone
super trap
obama phone
Bucki is really the type of a dude who can get along with anyone, so chill and sarcastic I swear. Ron is always smiling and these people do speak some positivity, so I do hope they make it and it makes their lives more peaceful. They do have a mentality on the right path
ron is a really genuine guy fr
great work Brandon fr doing great things for other communities
Ron says I don't drink or Smoke and Brandon makes him chug a pint with him 🤣
Smartest thing you guys did was fall back, a real soldier knows when to fallback it wasn't about being scared it was about being prepared
i definitely dont want to lose my life for content man i love my family too much
Ain’t nobody losing their life at Shamrock the block 😂
It's Virginia. Rainbow flags
Nobody woula touched you. Its virgina. Thats why most dangerous place in Virginia is a small RURAL town lmaooo@@BrandonBuckingham
@@notskonthis America, people lose they life in church lol
I'm from Richmond, Virginia. I been locked up with a lotta dudes from Jackson Ward. I'm so glad that you gave this place it's due! Shoutout to you, man. This made me feel somethin special. Been watching Brandon Buckingham forever but never thought I'd see him in my neck of the woods. Much love
shoutout to the ward
RonBandUp is such a vibe . Dude is a real sunshine 🌞 frfr
I grew up here and appreciate you shining a light on Richmond. It's a rough city.
“I Wanna Go Back To The Hood” Is Top 5 😂😂
Jackson Ward isn't even the worst project in RICHMOND!😂😂😂
bro agreeddd!! the most dangerous activity in jward these days is being a bicyclist lol. so many of my friends have been it by cars while biking in jward.
but for sure east side alphabet soup area is way worse.
@@libbycaroline6729 1000% it's worse over there. When you live on "R street" they just don't want to waste money with more letters... It's fucking bad😆😆😆
@@tjaydagreatmy girl used to live on Q street, ain’t that whole area getting gentrified?
@@ghguevara That sounds about right. VCU is buying up everything. Idk tbh though. I live in NC now. I was in Richmond earlier today though lol
Facts south side got it worst
6:21 dude just said his phone was beating but out here begging 😂😂😂
Brandon not giving homie the platforms view after asking for money is as real as the he streets get. I fw that big bro
that guy was always tryna act too tough while his other homies were having fun & vibing
@@Based_Sir887for real, there is always gonna be that one guy while everyone else is having fun and vibing
@@Based_Sir887 seriously that dude seemed like the definition of a try-hard. "Can I rap please? you gotta pay me tho!" and trying to clown his buddy just cause there's a camera in his face...
@@AT-pi9do Yeah they need watch out for that guy he could be a snake
My car broke down outside Jackson Ward one time. I got robbed.
😂😂😂😂
Double whammy
Damn 😂
Trash culture
Big trash
Mosby,Hillside and Fairfield Court definitely the most dangerous right now multiple shootings and deaths in those areas so far this year
now this is a kind of documentary/journalism that deserved awards
Lil bro said he would protect Brandon with his life what a g
I respect that
i respect the balance of videos on your page, you’re able to make funny content while also focusing on serious matters, which is really rare these days
Ron, You a leader mann i hope u truly make it out that bad environment, you truly got a good mentality and you truly got alot of potential man i see it abd i hope u see it as well man . 💯 the way u carry urself say alot obout u man Good luck.
Lil bro with the flip phone is a fucking LEGEND 💀 he even got his music on that mf!
$8,000 a year is crazy.
I know, I live in a well above average area but if you are only making 8k you aren’t working hard enough
Couldn't be me 🤑
I make that in an hour
Nah that’s that “where’s my money Uncle Sam” mentality.
What is crazy to me is majority single moms with average 3 kids.
Gilpin Court and Jackson Ward getting put on the map, it’s dangerous but I’m glad it’s getting awareness with this, the community appreciate this one fa shooo! 💯
i appreciate y’all for watching. they were good people out there 🫡
It was on the map back in the '90s when Christopher Goins killed 5 people, including 3 children ages 3, 4 and 9 all relatives of Tamika Jones, who he also tried to kill and was pregnant with his child at the time.
It was a lot worse back then.
@@dugnicethat’s j psychotic demonic shit damn
Gilpin court and Jackson ward the same thing… gilpin court the name of the project inside Jackson Ward
@dugnice, yes no joke back then. I still think about that case.
im not gonna lie, this prolly the best group of people ive seen in any of the tommyg/BB on the ground vlog style. everyone in the group hella positive and still were cooking in the snack house.
Omg I just fell in love with bandup’s energy ❤
I love how dude says he don’t smoke or drink like that then proceeds to gargle the Jacky D 💯💯
we had to celebrate for the one time
Brandon you the shit bro . Doesn't matter where you go people fuck with you and this shows everyone can get along wherever you from when your respectful to their community. Just good vibes and respect brothers and sisters .
He doesn't change his style according to the different environments, but he never looks out of place.
preciate you for showing love to richmond we don't get enough shine
finally richmond is getting its recognition for the negativity in this city. the city made a promise to take down the housing projects to try to reduce crime levels and they still haven't fulfilled it. videos like this can help spread the message that richmond needs help.
No. That may have been the promise in their hearts or minds (at least their lips) but the thing being consistently sold is improving the QOL of residents without impacting their housing status or livelihood. A notion which is beyond unlikely and false in action so far (nothing to signal a real change).
The existence of crime is not predicated on the existence of Gilpin, just as crime does 😅not only occur there. Nor does it demonstrably radiate out from in a meaningful way.
Such a positive vibe bro! Thanks for bringing us out there!
they’re totally right on what the DMV is
i wanna be a part of the DMV 😢
@@BrandonBuckinghamnamean
rva is 100% not in the DMV
@@BrandonBuckingham lol you close ain't you from MD
Yeah I live in virginia. The DMV just refers to the area around DC basically inside the beltway
I just realized I paid for the Patreon but forgot to subscribe on CZcams lmaoooo preciate you showing life in Richmond!
Gargle Squad Is Crazy 😂😂😂
Crazy how rhey hated on a grown man for walking away from a pointless shootout
Adrenaline is a hell of a drug
Trash culture is trash culture
Growing up in the DMV, I never heard Richmond being considered within the "dmv". I believe it's because DMV, you have bunch of people commuting into DC for work from Montgomery and PG counties, Fairfax/Loudoun/Prince William counties. Not as many people commuting from Richmond to DC daily for work, as Richmond is a major City with jobs/companies, not just Suburban area where most jobs would be retail/food.
This!! I'm in southern Va and not many of us really say we from DMV. When you think of DMV, you think of the city and DMV really is the part where they all connect if that makes sense. Like if you from DC then obv you from DMV but as i'm from southern Va, I wouldn't really say i''m from the DMV even tho technically we are ig. I don't even know how to explain it. Most of the southerns in Va don't even want to be apart of northern Va.
It’s def not dmv lol
bro the kid that said " Ill protect you with my life" Is insane. Just shows you how loyal these dudes are. Good shit on these dudes tryna keep your emotions in together.
Much love, Brandon! Awesome video.
this channel is too fye. showing the internet a new perspective mad respect. 🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate that my brother
And yo I'm so freaking tempted to sign up for your Patreon, those dude's were mad chill they gave off great vibes. Wish the video didn't end so quickly, I wanna watch more of it. Hopefully you have that one guy in more video's in the future! 🤞
It's most definitely worth it to pledge to the Patreon for sure.
They seen opps
I absolutely love your channel, inner city’s of America, given us the inside scoop, long live The Buckingham show
Appreciate it showing love to my city ❤
Jus wanted to say thanks for uploading buck I rlly needed ts today ain’t even finna lie😂 and I hope papa is doin good🖤 yall gotta get that road trip rollin!!

Brandon Buckingham you a REAL ONE BRUH FOR DIS 💯💪🏾💪🏾.
RonBandUp was awesome in this one
check out his music
14:13 big up that young man. I pray for his safety and come up. That's real love bro
Everyone huddled around the flip phone had me 😂
Lived in Jackson Ward for two years while I was going to VCU. The people there are some of the nicest people you know i’ll meet in Richmond
Why didn't u live on campus ? How u get into Jackson Ward as a student when MFS been on they waiting list for 10 years or better lol.
@@GullahGeechee9 I lived off campus in the upstairs unit of a house on the outskirts of Jackson Ward. It was the part of Jackson Ward near Marshall St. It was incredibly cheap compared to living closer On campus
@@alighadiri714 Are they still renting that upstairs unit, I'm considering moving to RVA? 🤔
in the stu w bruh and he's fr like that. 1/1 genuine dude , appreciate yall coming out to the city and showcasing the 804
shoutout the 804
more content with RonBandup bro this vid made my day
i definitely wanna bring him out to md and show him a good time
@@BrandonBuckingham im so happy u responded bro u and tommy g are my favorite youtubers frfr 🤝❤️
Brandon really gives me a new perspective over these areas
You should consider checking out Roanoke, VA. It's a small ass city of like 100,000, but consistently ranks as one of the most dangerous in Virginia, even above Richmond. Only in certain areas, though - it's mostly contained around Melrose Ave. People get shot literally daily, which is nuts for such a small ass city.
Editing in: I loved this video, it was kind of wholesome. The snack house and them literally swooping you away and protecting you. I hope all the good things happen in life to these people
facts
U high? Richmond was the only city in Virginia that was the murder capital of the United States EVER!!
540 big facts💪💪
Daily??? Lies!!! Smh!
Gtfoh, dangerous from what bear attacks and mountain lions. I have been to Roanoke several times and have never felt any dangerous vibes. That ish isnt nothimg to brag about.
Praying for Pawpaw's speedy recovery
Richmond sucks balls I feel so relieved as soon as I leave city limits
Hyped asf you started uploading more
RonBandup such a vibe fr
I love that older ladies voice 😭
she was so sweet and funny😭😂
She must sound nice in the bedroom, if you take my meaning
“Are yall rappers ?” 😂
nice to see u in my hometown hope u enjoyed and hope u come back! hope pawpaw is feeling better 💚
🎉🎉🎉 Congrats on 600K 🎉🎉🎉
LOVE FROM HAMPTON VA GANG!🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻 WE LOVE THE WARD!! ALL LOVE MAN🖤🤙🏻✌🏻
The young kat with the flip phone got more heart than half some towns. Keeping it real AF with what he's got and str8 making it not only work but but making it work hard. Shout out from ur NC boyz
Buckingham needs one of those bulletproof backpacks!
And a “press” vest
Love to see the city get its recognition in a more positive informative way I’m from the ward too real ones know we all tryna grind to make the city and apostle town better 💯
“The Snack house” 😂 🤣 be lit 🔥
props ta bandup fa puttin da beef to da side fa brandon!!

Richmond dude defintly will ride for you some or the realest dudes i ever met an im from Norfolk Va 💯
Buddy shot real spit from his mouth no way I would’ve doubled back for that bottle 😂😂😂
Rons cool as hell. Much respect for people like that.
Great video! I was born in the RVA (and lived there for a while back in the late 90's) and it's nice to see to my hometown gettin some love. Shout out Jackson Ward. It's definitely real out there, but there's a few other neighborhoods that keep it just as grimy - Church Hill: Whitcomb Court, Creighton Ct., Mosby Ct. ; and you can get your shit pushed back on the South side too. Blackwell, Jeff Davis, Hillside Court, Boston St /(Heroin alley) - and don't sleep on Highland Park in the North side either. All those hoods stand on business, ya feel me!?!? And don't get it twisted, there's some hard ass white boys coming out of Richmond that ain't nothin to be played with- Oregon Hill & Ginter Park (not sure if that's changed but they were about it back in the early 2000's).
Awesome to hear about PawPaw and wishing him a speedy recovery. And looking forward to your upcoming vid with Skrilla and YBC Dul. Be safe bro and keep up the good work!
I'm originally just from outside Richmond. One day, while my mom was driving through Richmond, with myself in the passenger seat we passed through Jackson Ward. Out of nowhere, the driver side window blew out. We pulled over a few miles later, and found a 9mm bullet in the backseat. To this day we assume it was either a stray bullet, or a gang initiation but someone almost took my mother's life.
Sorry that happened to you.
Trash culture
Thanks for the video glhf
I stay around the corner from there good shit bro 💪🏽
These are probably the most chillest thugs i’ve seen
Why they gotta be called thugs
@@Alijah-ks6cn They’re literally repping a set/gang thinking it’s the way of life.
