Jadakiss Gives A Tour of Yonkers | The Neighborhood On Complex 

You can tell Jada is solid and always in the hood because nobody is starstruck or shocked to see him.

Who’s here after jadakiss destroyed dipset in the versus battle 💯💪🏽

That “We Gon Make It” beat so damn hard... TILL THIS DAY!

R.I.P Jadakiss big wheel. You will always be remembered

Man its coo af to see a different part of New York other than the five boroughs, i feel it gets really overlooked.

I been watching all Jadakiss and the Lox shit since they defeated Dipset last week and this makes me have a whole new level of respect for them .Real humble dudes .

I feel like Yonkers, Mt. Vernon, and New Rochelle are basically just an extension of NYC. You could say the same about the urban part of north Jersey, like Jersey City, Newark, Patterson, etc. Yonkers really isn't upstate. It borders the bronx, on the north.

The realest and most genuine rapper to ever enter the game. I'm surprised he didn't end it with his signature laugh

Jada went back in that corner to see if someone returned his big wheel

Just admitted he didn't start hustling until college. Still respected by the streets because he's a real one 💯

Been a huge fan of Kiss for years, but since the Versus battle, I've been really checking in on him. I ain't even know about this interview. Dope shit.

Jada is one of the humblest dudes . You can tell.

Jada one of the Greatest of all time........

Always loved Jada!! Since ''Benjamins''!! I loved when he talked about how the neighborhoods were back in the day, especially when he said ''You learned real stern principles and morals back then. On what to do and what not to do.''!! I too agree. It was real growing up in a village like complex society. Miss those days and so grateful for them!

Jadakiss is so humble one of my favorite rappers

Was born in Yonkers but moved away to another state early on. True story, my pops took me back to the old hood back in 2003 on a trip. Jada has always been my favorite rapper so I used to think I would see him there when we went but that was a pipedream right? There’s no way he’d be there when we did a short tour around that day where my mother and father lived. I’d never toured Yonkers with him so this was the first time. Well, no joke, at the building outside just my pops and I, my pops showing me” yo, this is the building me and moms was at, I used to work at (some place near by as a counselor) and son this where I used to ball at next door, it’s one of the reasons I picked this apartment”. At that moment I see a group of dudes playing about 20 or so on that very court. Wouldn’t you know…..I hear a voice talking all kinds a shit playing basketball. The voice is undeniable. I get closer to the fence and look closely down at people playing. It’s kiss 😅😅😅😅😅. I’m just at the fence watching him in amazement how he’s just another dude on the block. He’s up and down the court playing, nothing special at basketball but he didn’t give a damn, the mf was trash talking and just having fun playing…….That shit was crazy.

Jadakiss look so good 😩 & that NY accent 😍 Been a fan since 🎶“If you really feel me & you think I’m jiggy, come on shorty let me know”🎶 !!! Gahh I use to love the Lox 🔥

How many rappers can walk the down streets like this? Not to many.

This dude is a BEAST of Hip Hop!

One of the dopest rapper's ever! Been rocking with Jadakiss since I first heard his raspy voice in the 90's!

When I was little visiting my grandma in Yonkers I met him with my big brother.

*Jadakiss with the Babyface! HipHop keeps you young* 🙌😎

I'm proud to say i'm from Yonkers 😤‼️

Yonkers has always had the ghetto suburb feel to it!!! It’s lowkey beautiful I ain’t gone front!!!

jadakiss will always be in my top five no matter what!!!

I love KISS, i been a fan since 98...the LOX period.

This was a treat! I know nothing of rap or hip hop and don't know who this man is, but I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the old places again. I grew up in Schlobohm Apts which you can see if you are standing on Palisades Ave just off Getty Square and look down.- It may have been a tough neighborhood in retrospect, but we had built in friends. On a Saturday morning you just walk outside and - just like that - all your friends are there. It was always fun. We were black, white and of the white, we had mostly Irish or first generation Americans. Growing up like that, you never see color, you see people, good or bad. That was your judgement. If they were good, they were cool. If bad, no one wanted to bother with them. What he said about everyone having a hand at guiding kids to do the right thing, that is very much the truth. I'm white, but my black friends' moms used to discipline ALL of us if we were rude, acting up, etc. They didn't care whose kid you were - you got scolded and, in some cases, hit - but it was never abuse. It was correction. We all came out OK in the end. I like to think they had something to do with it. And the other good thing is - there you made friends for LIFE. I've long since moved away from there, as had my friends, but we are still close all these years later, still on the phone. Still visiting one another. We used to think we were unfortunate growing up in a place like South Yonkers because we were poor - but in retrospect, we were really rich. Money isn't everything. We formed family that is still going strong. That's the best thing about growing up in the ghetto, or the high rise or the projects. You make friends for life. I've returned to Schlobohm several times to visit since, most recently 2 year ago - and to my sadness, I saw not one child out on the streets playing on such a beautiful sunny summer day. I sat on the old door steps of Building #3 where I grew up and talked with one woman who had also been sitting there - and she said that kids stay in now. It's a different generation. It was vibrant then, but drugs ruined everything.

guess he really miss that big wheel cause he still looking

Love to see black Men wining in Life 🧿😊🙏

that hat saying illmatic on Kiss's head is dope af

Westchester county has always been a beautiful place to me...and they picked a beautiful day to tour yonkers

WHO ELSE IS HEAR AFTER THE VERSUZ BATTLE?

Those drone shots were amazing! Shout out to the team on this. Nicely put together! That Jeep was on point. I love my city, NY all day! **I jumped the gun on the credit part. Got a little overly excited commenting. Watched 'til the end. Dope stuff guys!

Jada really said…..”want to see the son of sams??” 🤣 That shit scared me as a child 😂

I saw jada in the hotel lobby one day and was so star struck, I just wanted to shake his hand and say thank you, but I work there and wanted to be professional, he had red beats head phones on just jamming out and I was like that is what I would thought Jada would do... and at the same time I didn't want to ruin his vibe but anyway jada top 5 dead or alive most definitely, my top 3 favorite rapper...

1 of the best to ever do it!!!

It ain't a hip hop hood tour video without a visit to the barber shop lol

"Why them dudes ain't ridding if they a part of your set". Real true life experience right there. That's when you realize your true homies

Born in Mount Vernon, raised in Yonkers, played ball in the Bronx. Have a lot of memories and I appreciate Yonkers getting recognition.

Hannnnn NY squadddd💪🏾😂 I stay ending up somewhere in Yonkers,the Bronx, and the ville.👌🏾

LEGEND! Still bump to Kiss Of Death! Classic album!

Good to see a Yonkers guy make it in the music biz!

My pops was born and raised in Yonkers. Lived in the Cottage Gardens. 💪💪❤🏁🏁

I was 12-18 visiting my Aunt in Yonkers every summer. Yonkers was so lit. We would literally be everywhere. Hooping, chillin on the rooftops lighting fireworks, stickball/basketball in the park right next to her buildin, Ice cream truck etc. I would walk the dog at like 10 pm all by myself at like 12 yrs old and shit and no one would try anything funny talk shit or none that and I wasn't even from there. Some of my best memories are from YO. Pretty sure I seen Jada at the one corner store playing Streetfighter and shit but it was so long ago I could be wrong. God dam back then them sour powers and a Sunny D was all you needed.

Kiss voice ain't gonna ever change. He was the man, yo.

One of the best with a unique voice,,,jadakiss,,,big up homie 🏀🏀🏀👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🔥🔥🔥

Im from the south and I've always been on Jada. Dude is nice on the mic.

I took his Spin out 360… rode that shit from Yonkers all the way to my old neighborhood 233rd street Carvel 😉

Rappers from the 2000s don't age lol

Jadakiss is one of the most of the most real artists to ever do it......I remember when he dropped that "letter to BIG" that shit made me respect him even more

This man stopped in for a cut while doing the walk through lmao I'm dead. Much love

My grandfather was born in Yonkers growing up as a little white boy I used to get so hyped when we would drive through yonkers on our way to the city . From Yonkers to Albany and beyond to Syracuse . That’s the real New York .

The Lox Mary J Blige DMX Yonkers

Name another "rapper" could walk thru HOMEBASE solo dolo and get LOVE! The Lox is for the people lmao 914 baby!

I was just riding home from work listening to “who shot ya” in my 84 t-top cutlass. I love his music.

The we gonna make it beat is insane. Vibing to it everytime i hear it

Bet some of your favorite rappers can't walk back😂😂

Yonkers is a nice suburb area! Lil grimmy dudes selling $5 chit but it's safe! The projects have security.

Qns, Bx, BK, SI, MH. Jada is the most underrated rapper ever. The shit he spits is fucking fire. RESPECT ALWAYS.

I was born and raised in YO baby! Love how Jada shows love to everyone.

Nostalgia when the "We gon make it" instrumental came on.

lol i like how he walks about carefree u know he gets mad love

jadakiss is a motivation for me and I'm looking forward to speaking to that man beloved.

THIS DUDE DROPPED HIS FIRST ALBUM IN 2001 and that was PURE FIRE. first album I bought at the Mall when I first came to US. pretty dope album

Editing was on point

one of the greatest of all times

I use to go to Pittsburgh back in the 80's every summer when i was a kid, man Yonkers remind me of that place. I had a lot of good times and the girls were beautiful too!!!

Been a fan since the very beginning & I'm from Los Angeles born & raised

It’s crazy that I live up the block from where he lives. I literally past by his apartment a couple hours ago

@ 3:19 I used to play that song every morning on the bus ride to school. Classic!

used to live in "the hole" projects ; on linden; mt. carmel; woodworth; and glenwood...love to jada ml and all the ppl that showed me love wherever i rested my head (") ya boy "barbershop"...YO stand up...

Most beams is inferred but mines is fluorescent 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Jada still looks young as hell

This is the perfect definition of a real rapper because he is from the era of the real street rappers. It ain't but so many left that really know they history & a lyricist 💪🏿✊🏿👌🏿💯

The key to staying grounded is to never forget your humble beginnings. BX Stand Up!! YO Stand Up!!

They dropped literally 3 my top 5 Jada tracks in the background on here the first three background tracks. They just needed that "Still Feel Me" and "Big Dogg Status"

jadakiss all for the love track is fire 👏🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥

This man is so humble

For real Jadakiss.....1 of my favorite Rappers for sure

The best mini doc I've ever seen and it had to be about the one place I wanted to see or know about because of the main person in it. #T5DOA

KISS the game goodbye, the KISS of death and the last KISS

I always had mad respect and love for kiss. you can tell he real known in his own good. and even though he famous he can still walk the streets of where he from.

My residence is in Yonkers, and it’s really cool to see the familiar hoods on camera!

We went to school together!! #YonkersStrong

Jada top 10

when that second beat started playing it literally brought me back to like 02’ miss those days..
