I'm a white guy who has lived in Memphis all my life and its not as bad as people think there's bad areas but as long as you aren't an idiot or looking for trouble all you have to worry about is thr occasional panhandler. These kind of stereotypes are whats killing are local/national music scene. That being said, like every major city there are shit parts of town and this guy is not in them, the bad parts dont have bicycle lanes lol
Sorry to hear you've been in that shit hole your whole life...Looks like the last shit I took..Ever thought if trying elsewhere to live?..I'm sure you're loyal to your city, and I get it, but there are plenty of opportunities elsewhere...expand your horizons!
They don't show Central Gardens, Belle Meade, East Jefferson, Central Avenue, Galloway. Memphis has beautiful parts of town...if you don't know that...you don't know Memphis.
Well I just been on Memphis just 3 months and I going to leave this SHIT city full with RUDE and defensive people, CRAZY DRIVERS, fuck Memphis, worst experience I had on this damn city. I don't recomend to no one visit this HELL.
@Step Tart I don't know peolple on Ditroit, but most of black people in Memphis are sooo rude and defensive, even if I address them nicely most of them are rude with bad attitude and talking over people without finish the sentence, what kind of human are that, and I don't talking about racist, thats not the situation, its about those people being rude for no reason. Thats no excuse for people act like that, and again, is not every black people in memphis is most of them.
Real X ok I live in Memphis and you are hella wrong. There are rude people everywhere. There is no 90% of people- ykw I'm not gonna waste my time talking to someone about something they know nothing about-
Bruh, that was only South Memphis. You drove down College St. to Kerr to Mississippi Blvd to South Pkwy to Victor to Orange then Marjorie then back to Kerr where you made a left on Elvis Presley Blvd, which becomes Bellevue Blvd once you cross S. Pkwy. Then the vid ended at Walker Ave. You have to cross Jackson Ave before you can say you’re in the NORF-NORF!
Hey charlie, great videos brother Im sure you been asked this a thousand times, but how did you get started doing this?...did you just happen to be in different cities for a job or something, and started filming, or did you actually start out travelling to film for your channell?
I don't know wich Memphis you live, but that doesn't sound the Memphis I know with just few months been here, lot of nasty rude and defensive people. My goal is leave this hell, but sadly Im stuck here and I have to deal with that....SHIT
Freda Stauffer poor is different than being violent predators. You can be poor yet decent, loving, caring and giving. Major difference in just being poor and being a soulless, feral, rabid demon.
Rich Jones have u ever been to Memphis and lived in one of those hoods it’s terrible down here check they stats we more dangerous than Baltimore at the beginning of this year we was the most dangerous in the us

That land look hella fertile. Shout out to Memphis, went my first time this year! The Uber drivers are the best! A lot of good stories and history shared!
My city. I live in Mid-town in the Medical Area. I moved here from DC. Memphis has jobs here. The cost of living is really affordable. I love Memphis ❤️ Why only show the run-down areas. I live in a nice area.
Grew up in Marion and Westmemphis right across the bridge but always ran around in MEMPHIS with friends Still got friends over there. I love M-town. Everyone is all like it's real bad. No you need to be from there to understand it really it's all about respect.
I still remember when all the black community's in Memphis were celebrating in the streets of Memphis when the 1st black mayor got elected for 12 yrs! Great job Mr. Herenton.
All the way from South Africa bro.I appreciate your videos i plan on moving to the United States soon.I been checking out your videos to see which hood is better to move in.You helped me alot now i know what to expect.Keep Up the great work brother.
Why do you leave Africa to live in a american's hood? I'm not from US and I'm sure you can find a lot of interesting places in this country and you want to live in a hood, why? Be black don't mean be poor...
My mother died four years ago or so. She refused to move from Frayser. She was in a nice secluded neighborhood at least right off of Thomas and behind the now gone Frayser Drive In. I went to school there when it was ok at Frayser. Later on I paid the price of letting my kids go to Georgian Hills Ele. I had to move them and leave our cute house. By then the damage was done. My middle son just barely getting off federal probation gets in trouble again! All the while he covers for the princess who puts him up to robbing a jewelry store in Jackson, TN! He done anything so stupid before thanks to drugs and her bright idea. She is sitting pretty without a thought of him. I will be dead when he gets out of a TN prison now. At least the other two sons are doing ok. One is a tankerman the other did 12 years in the Army. Try Bush Nut area and the very worst part of Frayser. There is more off of Chelsea Ave as well. I will NEVER move back to Memphis.
My boi u missed all the good spots u should have hit orange mound them you missed castalia and u should have went threw pepper tree u stay on south parkway its get wikid there but u gotta hit them spots near time
Poverty and hoods all over this damn country...I got family in South Carolina, Virginia, Florida, Texas and Memphis...everybody has hoods...the government seems blind to this issue...
Navybeans95 The Government knows what's happening! What should they do? Fix these shitholes up, and within a couple years, it's back to square one! Jobs are plentiful all over now, these people have to take responsibility for themselves! I grew up dirt poor, my parents could just about put food on the table, no healthcare, poor paying jobs, no welfare or food stamps! I swore I would not let this way of life be my life! I worked after school, shining Shoes, Paper Route, Cashing in Bottles and cans, shoveling snow in winter, cutting people's lawns, running errands , anything to make money! I saved and saved, contributing half to my folks! Worked after school lifting heavy barrels of oil onto trucks, graduated High School, got my BA in Music and the Arts, met my Soulmate, fell in love, got married, and we bought our first little home from the money I started making from. age 10! Lost my baby( my wife) 5 years ago, live alone today! House paid for, no car payments... Not at all rich, but comfortable! You could say it's because I'm White, but Blacks in the North, where I grew up had as many opportunities as I did! And many owned businesses, houses, and lived peacefully and as welcome as White Families in my neighborhood! Today, under DONALD Trump! Black unemployment is at an all time record low! Same for Hispanics, Asians, and women! There are more jobs, than people to fill them! Seek.. And ye Shall find! No more excuses! You, are a beautiful young woman! Hope you marry (yes,Marry) a good Man and work as a team to build a wonderful life together! Nothing, and no one can stand in your way! Best of luck to you ( I know you'll do fine) and please, Please, don't vote for Democrats! They have kept Black people down for decades! THEY were the party who started the KKK! They have manipulated Blacks with promises forever! In truth, doing nothing! Including OBAMA! Hope I didn't post to much,, again, my best to you!
@@joelspivak6622 I didn't vote at all this past election...both candidates seemed unfit. I don't believe anyone or human being can fix what's going on...it's the blind leading the blind...hopeless. God's kingdom is our only hope, if we live through it. Satan has become stronger and just like in our past history it will get so bad a hard reset is the only thing that will fix this mess. your tenacity and hard work is a good thing but I know people personally that have this same drive to make it and fall short everytime..I work hard for my living as well to help my family, I've never received state benefits. Our actions get no reward other than holding on to our morals. My comment was made out of frustration because hoods/poverty shouldn't even exist, Drugs happened and tore everything apart. If a black man gets a small weed charge he's pretty much done for life. It's by design that our men are taken from the family unit , to weaken our structure so that our kids grow up hopeless and repeat the same cycle. Not everyone is strong enough to overcome or have patience like u and I....this is what I see., this is what I've lived thru...I know race wars are by design as well to divide and disrupt the human mind so that we actually hate each other instead of helping each other. My step mom is white and my siblings are having a hard time as well...this is not the way it's supposed to be...everything is definitely not OK...
I recall when I was in Chicago last year, complaining about Louisville (where I live) that there is nothing to do here, small town trying to act like an actual city, etc. It's funny because the person that I was talking to said he'd heard all that before, only it was about Memphis where he was from. I know this video is supposed to highlight the poorer areas but really does remind me of Louisville. Same type ghetto areas and not much to do. Only difference Memphis has higher crime apparently.
Memphis crime is WAY higher my uncle was from Louisville died there in 2017 tbh the biggest towns in Southern WV are alot more ghetto then anything I've seen in KY there the opposite of what WV is suppose to be
@@NMV-eq5jt Sorry about your uncle man. Yeah Memphis has a reputation for crime. Here lately Louisville is trying to challenge in the murder department though. Four people shot and killed this past weekend. Although hell in some cities that's a day off.
@@RealArtfulDodger yea it was fucked up I grew up in Charleston WV we had 2 murders within an hour last week and like 4 other shootings thru 2 days which is big for a town of 47,000 and dropping Huntington WV had 7 murders in a week with even less people little over a year ago I've been throughout the WV KY OH tri state and I'd say KY's biggest cities r the safest out of the 3 states although my uncle used to say West End Louieville was real rough and some of Lexington which was where my dad was born. My cousin moved from there to Memphis to Chattanooga TN
Just out of curiosity, say if any of these fine young gentlemen living in these types of areas were to get shot (i'm assuming that they wouldn't have health insurance) what would usually be the repercussion of that? would they just get basic treatment at public hospitals? if anyone could give me an answer for this I would appreciate it.
Nick Panayiotou they don't pay it. Then the rest of health care having citizens get fucked with higher bills cuz doo-doo decided to get his ass shot off slinging dope or robbing a mo-fo and not paying his bills. Can't garnish an income they ain't got. Amazing how one can live in guberment housing, have satellite tv, an iPhone, no job, 15 kids hanging off they leg, not pay their utility bill, wear $600 jeans and have an Escalade parked out front. South Memphis is a shithole.
Mane I was dying for you to take that left on walker. And show soulsville. I got some great videos of dude’s with no pants riding on the hood of their girls car for life. Plus a woman totally yelling and making a scene, both in front of the jack pirtles on Bellevue. Never boring
Hey, I used to live in Memphis. My ex was born and raised there. He went to Wooddale HS and Memphis State. My parents still live there on Third St. where they run a U-Store storage facility. I loved living in Memphis but in 1991 we moved to Utah because our Jeep was stolen, our car set on fire by an arsonist and I got caught in crossfire while these fools were shooting at each other!!!!
That Salt Lake high altitude sun gave me a sunburn right through my thinning hair on the top of my head. But other than that enjoyed my visit. Mass was packed on Sunday. So happy to see that.
North memphis where i am from on 7th street , where N everyday endup never found.. i was raised in da projects, projects, i was rasied in the.. i ride spinnas, i ride spinnas, 🎵🎶🎶🎶🎵
Question is.. Will these areas ever get better? Do the locals believe it's ok and like it that way cause its the hood? Or do mofos not give a damn at all? No cap
In time these areas might gentrify and begin to revitalize. These areas all have some common traits 1. An older area of town 2. Most businesses have moved out of the area. Dollar stores are very common 3. Low-Income area 4. Houses and building are poorly kept (low-income people don't have the disposable income to fix and upgrade things) 5. A high amount of rentals in the area 6. Schools are generally not very great 7. Higher crime area 8. Often minority area 9. No new home builders in the area 10. House prices are depressed which cause lower property taxes 11. Local governments don't have the budget to offer needed services
This is not the worst hood Charlie had shown us. Local people are blue collars, To get better, that needs a better economy of USA. And local people need to get rid of some bad habits such as drugs. Criminal gangs etc. Their education and family situation normally is not fine as well, Lot of of kids only had a mom or pa, not both parents
I frm chile and itz crazy like the hooods in usa looks like the beatiful side in my country , the hoods and areas are totallyy diferent in southamerica
I bet a lot of those people in Memphis are happier than the people living in my so called wealthy neighborhood here in Cali driving their Bentleys but as miserable as hell.
Project Pat always talks about North Memphis but I'm pretty sure Lord Infamous, Scarecrow is Orange Mound. What's the most ghetto and gangster hood in Memphis?
What is the point of showing the "hood" and the poverty of it if you're not tryna make a change you've been recording these videos for like 2 or 3 years and nothing has changed where is all if the good footage of the city's take this video down cause you're making my city and others citys look bad when in reality a lot of people are prospering or at least trying to put some context into your videos instead of just showing how bad they look say something like,"oh I want to start a fund that helps people get back on there feet" or something that can give hope to the ''hood."
Once again like somebody said in an older video from @CharlieBo313 just look at the different color paintings on the houses that's how you know you in the hood!
When big 30 pulled up on us in nap he pulled right up to a crime scene where a MF got smoked go check out my nigga Boochee the doe boi video ft big 30 "Shoot A 💯"
@@kajouman Memphis is like top 10 in violent crime lol the south is just spread out with little people it ain't like the north where its dense u also gotta think what's going on behind them closed doors 🤔
