Welcome to Bayview Houses in Brooklyn | NYC Hoods 

Removing the fathers from the homes has devastated the community. White hoodie is talking facts. So much talent and potential, keep your head up guys.

The guy in the white hoodie made the most sense. Even though he did 12 years, he's still positive about life. In the end, the goal is to get out of the projects. Never forget where you came from, but its not a place to stay forever. I hope these brothers realize that.

I watch these videos as motivation to move outta brooklyn NY Saving up my money

Growing up in Flatbush, I viewed Canarsie as a nice area to move to if you couldn't afford to move to queens or long island. Times done changed. Bayview always been there, YOU CANT miss it coming off the Belt Parkway, but Canarsie is much much bigger than Bayview. The Majority of it is residential, Caribbean and working/middle class.

The video was made by the dude in the white hoodie, smart, positive, educated, obviously been through it, still hood, but you could just see from His energy, He was alittle wiser.

Not saying this because I was born and raised in Brooklyn NYC. Not one NYC Video compared to other states he goes to showing off money, guns, etc etc. It's the class in us and I love that these old school heavy hitters spoke positive go to school etc etc. Every other state showing off Money, Selling Drugs on Camera (Real Smart), Showing off guns. Not one video in NYC does that. 👏👏💪

Canarsie in the summer is a vibe you can’t get no where else, people get off of work and bring they stereos outside and just bump reggae and good tunes

Salute to Hood vlogs..been watching him for years..his vlogs hit different..they better than any vlogs I've seen shot in the town (NY)..keep up the good work..I was just searching for a new video last night..and he showed out today..

School system is what you make it in NY honestly. Plenty of opportunities if taken advantage of. The issue is parents expect teachers to do everything when in reality the foundation starts at home. That’s the disconnect nationwide.

Gotta respect how these gentlemen took the time to push positively and speak on building the youth. Respect

I'm glad he mentioned The Bronx and Brooklyn.. Definitely 2 of the most powerful areas in NYC boroughs. People from LA and Chicago, Dallas, ATL, Houston, Seattle etc. need to know this Lol. Yup Howard Schultz CEO of Starbucks was from Bayview Houses in Brooklyn. 1953. Dope!

They the first people I see who don’t even give off project vibes that’s a blessing. Dude lift up his chain and said I made this & this my clothing line LOVE It Canarsie been a Italian & Jewish & smart black people area for years

Shout Out To The Whole Brooklyn 💯

Some of the most legendary gangsters in American history were outta Canarsie. The Vario crew featured in the movie Goodfellas operated out of a junkyard on Ave D and partied at the Bamboo Lounge on Rockaway Pkwy. Up until the 90s Canarsie was a recruitment center for young gangsters looking to be a part Cosa Nostra. I see a lot of negative comments directed at these kids, but that lifestyle was here long before they were and it will be here long after they're gone.

If I'm hanging around a group of dude all I'm hearing RIP this RIP that RIP this, I'm changing my Circle 💯

I'm from ENY but I knew some killers from Bayview and the private house's

We need the Cloccs for the next episode 💙

Bro you know you got like 85 more projects to slide thru in Brooklyn... 98 more projects in money making Manhattan ... 100 in the BX... Like 20 in Queens... You might as well get you a spot in NYC

The man in the white hoodie he got my respect ✊ Brooklyn 💯💯RIP pop smok 🇺🇸🇲🇦🥰🇺🇸🇲🇦

Dudes from NYC got the most excuses ever, and never leave it. Not even because they can’t, but because they don’t really want to.

Again .. all the Newyork ones have something in common. Family and community. Not all that raw raw talk the whole time, more nostalgic talk. Dope.

I love New York City, but I'm from California.

Love what dude said about the five boroughs. We all cut from the same cloth. The BX and BK does go back and forth as far as The Grime goes. They take turns you might have 5years where the Bx is the leader in crime. Then it'll flip and then it goes to BK. But he's absolutley right as New Yorkers we compete borough to borough. But when shit gets funky we all come together like Voltron.. NYC HOME OF HIP HOP. FOREVER YAH HEAR ME..

I love Carnarsie. I'm 53 yrs old and Carnarsie always had to stand alone. We were outcast. But the Gods and Earth's made sure others new we were about our business. No play play. Carnarsie worked hard to get the respect. Floss is on always. I don't care what part of Carnarsie you from we are one if you understand the era of 70 80. They called us the westside of Brooklyn. Peace Young Kings

My 2 oldest son's are project baby's and they made it out through the military and a college education.

Wow! Imagine 26 grown ass men sharing 1 small ass bottle of liquor in the middle of a tight ass hallway talking tough🤣🤣

I'm glad they taking the time to tell people to do better then just being in the hood I like the way he said its cool to go to school and have the nice car ❤️

Love to see my brothers together we really GO for eachother I wish the connection was more broad with everyone that we all brothers and protect eachother one day bro 🤎✨🤲🏾

If I grew up in the hood, at 18 I’d be getting the heck out via the military or driving a semi truck. These dudes need to get a job

Be safe fellas.....much love to you all.....STOP THE VIOLENCE......1....2....3.....IF YA HOLDING UP THE WALL THEN YOU MISSING THE POINT...... MUCH LOVE FROM CHICAGO BLUE EYED CHOCOLATE SOUL💥

I used to live in Mill Basin which ain’t to far from Canarsie and by Flatlands not too far from that legendary Diner on Flatlands by Glenwood P’s if you know you know feel me🗽🗽🗽

Takes me back to Canarsie night school days Notorious Bayview houses glad to see 👀 some of the official members alive and well 🙌

My hood grew up with every single one of them. Hood family ❤

I want my young KINGS AND QUEENS to WANT to strive to get the hell out the hood. Not glorify STAYING

God bless all you brothers. Great stuff guys!!

Watching this just did something to my soul. Unity is powerful even just by sight.

Love love Brooklyn 👍🏿👍🏿

We the only group people who got a group of grown men walking around doing nothing throughout the day....u never see that in any culture

Is every people living in a project are really under a hard situation ? Sorry for throwing stupid questions but supposingly not every people staying out of the projects and do nothing. They can have jobs,blue collar white collar, ,receive monthly paycheck to make sure the bread and butter keep going. Especially the projects in the big cites like LA and NYC. I asked this question because in Asia people don't usually consider living under public housing system is a shame or low condition. Most people under projects in Asia have regular, decent jobs, also less crime involved.

Damn growing up in Canarsie, my mother still residing in Canarsie this has taken me back. I appropriate the dude who did twelve years and speaking gems.

I'm from Flatbush but used to come visit family in Bayview when Star Value was on Rockaway back in the days. I still remember playing tag in the playground and running thru the buildings. I'm not gonna lie it looks like it changed a lot.

Yo I respectfully and humbly respect and give praise to dude at 814 . Bro has a awesome message. Every real man's mindset

Don’t worry hoodvlogs you’ll be back in bay view 😤💯we need a vlogs wit the younger bros 💯😤

OG not cappin at all BROOKLYN AND BRONX are definitely the main two when it comes to music violence just overall but we all from nyc💯💯💯

Everywhere blacks live their lifes always expect the worst scenario

It was a lot of Gems Dropped in this video 💯 If y’all only taking in the negative aspects , it shows whose really the problem. Right now I’m looking through these comments all i see is pure ignorance. A lot of y’all don’t want to talk about ANY of the positive things being said. GOD BLESS THOUGH 🗣🙌🏾

This is sad. Can’t even enter and leave your building without these grown idiots harassing people in their own neighborhood. So sad

It’s nice to finally hear some young black men speaking some sense. Saying “we need to be positive. Teach positivity. Too much death” Is all great, but what does it mean? I’ve realized that teaching children a trade is the answer. Have them learning how to cut hair, be a plumber, be an electrician early in life. Let’s idolize the working man. If these young black kids learn a trade, finish high school, don’t have children out of wedlock, and get married before they have kids, their chances of ending up in jail goes down exponentially. Those few things and they’ll be in such a great position. That and to start respecting police. Do what they say. Hands where they can see. Yes sir, no sir. Give your ID and do as your told. Cops aren’t racist. Teach the youth THAT, and they will surely end in a better position than their parents.

Thank you everyone for sharing your experience, this is insightful. Lots of people probably aren't aware of this stuff unless they lived it.

So Brooklyn. 🗽🌉🥾

The guy in the white hoodie is wise. Wake up every day and work towards your goals and eventually everything will fall into place. My God bless him and heal his heart. These people are just a product of their environment and did not choose to be born in the circumstances they were born into. People like to judge but any other race would've been folded!!

Problem is these people so messed up into thinking 15 dollars an hour doing a job ain't good enough, they rather sit around smoking Ls in the staircases terrorizing they community. Let's keep it a buck, get a job and quite being bums. Just cause you got a Pele Pele jacket and you and your man's share the same 4 belts a weeks does not make you hard. A lot of sucka energy rn.

Kenny was my daughter’s friend. It sad what happened to him. SIP young man.

I hope to see the day when we realize we're stronger together instead of being enemies over a red or blue color we're all in the same gang in human existence 👏🏿

My Brooklyn brothers and sisters!!! One love!!!

THIS THAT REAL RAP!!!! Fuck that drill shit

Mad respect for thebdude in the white no excuses if you want do right you gonna do right obsicals or not

I love how the project dudes stick together 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 #Respect

I’ve played baseball over here, the area is definitely unique for sure. Less than a block away is cribs that look like some shit out of a Long Island suburb, that’s NYC for u tho 😂

Malcolm X would not be happy

Listen to the brother with the white hoodie. That's real. Just be you. I embraced that and the hood was rocking with me. Shout out to East 105th and Far Rockaway! My grandparents were from Canarsie. I'm a East N.Y./ Lower East Side Reppa!!!!! Peace to the Hood

If you go to the Flossy, better have your gun. 🔥 RIP POP SMOKE 💫

So blessed to have escaped this. Born and raised in ENY. But my sons are growing up in the suburbs with both parents. This is depressing. Respect to dude in the white hoodie. He's the only positive person

Canarsie always seemed mad chill and middle class. There are rough areas though! Not too many AA like myself, but the Caribbean families out there are solid 💯

I’m in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 watching u guys your getting a good platform here xx❤

In case you missed it the whole point is to get out the projects not like some of these 30’s, 40’s and 50 year old losers.

I have watched most of the new york videos and it's crazy how live sll these projects are. So many people literally outside.

I respect how they talking

Listen Canarsie is a nice neighborhood and these guys are acting like they grew up in a war zone I doubt it. I see a lot going up for the camera.

Cip pop smoke da loCsta

Growing up in the "hood" has become an excuse for living a hustler's life and not succeeding in life. I grew up in a rural village with tons of people drinking, fighting and smoking all sorts of stuff. My uncle was stabbed to death in a fight and was drunk at the time. My grandmother died of liver failure due to alcohol. The list goes on. I made a choice not to follow what everyone else was doing and decided to get learn some skills that will get me a decent job. Today, i have build a huge mansion and driving a great car. The friends i grew up with are always asking for cash to buy booze etc. I'm not special, it all started with the choices i made. To all these dudes hangin around in the hood acting like tough guys but achieving nothing: You can make a choice to live a different life. Stop following the crowds. N*** stand up! Be a man and prove that you don't need street cred in order to succeed.

Aye my bro skillz i was right next to bro in barehill corrections my boy real right its good to see you out doing positive things much luv brody from- SDot

SALUTE TO ALL THE BROTHERS IN THIS VIDEO...POWERFUL!!!!

Canarsie High School class of 09

I've never understood why grown men in their late 20's, 30's, 40's and even 50's still like roaming up and down streets in packs like teenagers. Some of these guys are in their 40's still complaining about having a single mother lol.

My buddy “Daddy Nickels” grew up here in the 90s. He’s a great guy.

I thank God I woke Today

But you are still under threat of the jail system so for now I fall back until the prison system is no longer a threat to me

BX BK it's all love

I'm from Bed Stuy Brooklyn.. Marcy, Tompkins and Sumner.. The Borough everyone wants to Hate. because we represent The Brooklyn Nets- Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving. They say the Nets don't have no fans??? which is ridiculous.. Canarsie, East New York, The Pink Houses, Bed-Stuy, Flatbush, Williamsburg, Fort Greene and Brownsville.. We all represent the Nets🏀. CROOKLYN..🔫💰💵😎 ALL DAY..💪🏽

i appreciate them taking a day off from work to shoot this video

Definitely used to have static with them, he ain't lying 🤧

These are gentlemen saying the right things. I judge no man for what they do and how to get money. Love for New York

ILL Bill from Canarsie . Heavy metal 🤴 RIP Howie . Most well known Artist worldwide from the Projects in Canarsie yet these guys don't mention him. And he's got new shit out right now . How strange 🤔

RIP to the football field. They got fresh veggies now.

Preach!!! Man in black real gangsters move in silence. Nuff said!!

White hoodie was spitting da real

Try some Crown Royal Black. Enjoyed the video. god bless you brothers

Y'all forgot to big up uncle Eric baby sitting all the kids

Now this was a positive video, promote living right not the gang ish...it is useless, and it only gets you worse off. He siad be gentle and handle your business

Anyone see a pattern here? Loser’s don’t fall far from the tree. If you brag about being from a shit hole it just shows how you’ll never break the cycle. Honestly completely embarrassing

Howard Schultz!! From Canarsie. Real talk.. Own the SuperSonics too.

God Bless all y’all. For real, mad love! 1

Is this all the black community has to offer? Wholly not impressed…

MMB Velli the realest in Brooklyn
