In the latest episode of Complex TV's The Neighborhood, A$AP Ferg takes us through Harlem. He starts off on his block, 143rd between Broadway and Amsterdam Ave, at the Alexander Hamilton Playground-or "Hungry Ham" as he calls it.
yungSTASIS Hmmmm. Maybe you are just "yung" and a little to quick to react with out thought or knowledge but again I ask you to review the videos on youtube featuring people such as Nelly Fuller Jr. , Dr. Phil Valentine and others who discuss the PLANNED effeminization of the Black male in America before you refer to me as a "racist".
A. New Paradigm You are correct. And it is not the Black male alone, it is the effeminization of all males taking place in western society. Most people just think it is fashion but it goes much further than that. Keep telling people untill they open their eyes!!!

I respect this dude a lot more for his artistic side, that's dope that he draws and paints and calls it his first love. Prolly cuz I'm an artist. Dude seemed kinda humble too and that gymnastics shit was ham.
Looks like people are warm, caring and having fun. I live in Vancouver BC, it is like a mini United Nations here so many cultures mixed all together, it is fantastic. My two good friends are from China I am Scottish they are the best, the nicest friends one could have. All the best to all.
Harlem is nowdays a safe place. Never been afraid on walkin' there. I go there every year for a month to meet my auntie and my cousins. I'm from Sardinia and never felt in danger in Harlem. One of my favs hoods of Nueva Iorc
First off, people talking about it looks nice and it's not hood. All of New York has definitely changed, but it's still Harlem. More housing projects than a little bit and ghetto blocks. Don't be fooled by the video. And it's nyc, white people are in the hood too. As far as dude with the hair, I might be wrong now, but I believe that originated in LA. The all red barrets signify a blood set. So it's easy to run your mouth over the internet, when in person you wouldn't even make eye contact!!!!!!

In 2011 and then again in 2012 and 2013 I stayed 532 ,143 and Broadway. Thr reason Ferg throws up a W is because Hamilton heights in on upper Westside Manhattan. I used that Laundromat in the background. People out there were always mad respectful but I Represent the Cape Flats Cape Town South Africa
judgement50 Hey sir, I'm from Mississippi so I wouldn't knw tht. Don't you think "dumbasx" is a bit much? Lol...its not evident because he never said "West NY" so don't be so harsh, there's people (myself included) who have only dreamed of New York. We're only familiar with what the TV and its residents tell us. Thanks for the knowledge but your deliver is unacceptable.:)
