Welcome to Grant Houses: the hood where the largest GANG BUST in NYC took place 

Talk that talk playboy. I been saying for years that people are not a product of their environment, they're a product of the choices they make. The sad thing is that in the hood the dudes that go to school and stay out of the streets are called soft, corny, lame. They not keeping it real. Our mindset as a collective is all screwed up.

@@teebed-stuy3819 yea I say the same thing

The difference is u chose to work for a white men some people refuse to work a 9 to 5 be a slave to a job so I understand

@@jorgieporgie751 that’s how you make money... you have to work at least 9-5, I use to work 80 hours a week no bull shit. If you wanna make it in this world you have to grind

I came from Grant too. Spent 27 years there, but I was probably long gone before any of them was born. To me, I think East 125th was worse? But you're right about choices. Teachers were teaching, if you really wanted to learn and jobs were hiring if you wanted to work. Hung out, did dumb shit, watched my friends dying, getting hooked on drugs, going upstate over and over, so I finally grew up and got out. Sad but it will only be a certain percentage tat will ever make it out of there (or any hood). Glad to see you did though.

Imagine tryna meditate in a nycha apartment 🤣 Shit really be frying me, I can't wait to wake up to hear birds chirping and crickets.

@@KeliH_ shoutout you for trying to find the light in all the darkness 🐐

@@ElectricalBeing thank you 😊

@CF 1961 you had me at bird feeder 🤣 that's good for you tho. I love this place but I've out grown it for real.

I lived 2 blocks away on 139 and amsterdam my whole life. Got out of there 2 years ago and financed a house on 2.5 acres in fl. Loving every second

Thank you!!

Exactly

What these videos show me is that the projects are set up for people to fail🤔 Looks like the Jim Crow Laws haven't ended. Sad.

That's extremely obvious right here even in the New York area within the 5 boroughs and West Chester county don't even have to go to a place that much further the Black population is a very diverse population from Africans to African Americans and people from the Islands definitely isn't just one shared experience. Canarsie Brooklyn has some really beautiful neighborhoods and that area is pretty much 100% black with people mostly from the Islands mainly Jamaica and Trinidad completely different than from some other areas in NYC.

I like that well said

That's you in your profile picture because u cute

a jailbird?

@@nikobellic3526 that's all u think a nigga is after he gets out of jail???

So true bro. Applies to all.races. I'm white from west Canada vancouver Island a town of like 300k people and run down and controlled by OC the HA is the power and the drugs are flooded constantly. It was a rough place to grow up and I just did what was right in front of me what all my friends did and.what they're big brothers and fathers did.. everyone in the streets selling dope in and outta the system.. I.didnt do Juvie time.but had Juvie assault charges but right when I turned 19 I got popped selling dope up island jna. Trap house with like 18.5 grams of hard and did a year for that. Been in and out consistently.. did a 4 year fed bid for 2 handguns and a.couple ounces.of.dope in my Condo.. More assaults and a couple more dope.charg3s and now here I am at 38. With all my close bros ALL doing double digits. 12 close bros dead from gun.violence and Overdose and police chase In stoly. Smfh. One of my bros just got hit with Life a couple.months ago. Another just got.pinched with 400 grams.of.fentanyl. My dogg.mikey D pinched with 15 guns and.500k worth of drugs. Smfh the cops.are very fuckin familiar with me and my bros and they ain't letting up. I'm tryna change my life it's hard bro. Working legit 9 to 5 after being a criminal ur whole life.isnt easy... But I'm toughin it out. Cuz in 2017 I got shot 4 times in 2 shootings 6 Mos apart and almost died was in a Coma bullet in the chest and leg and wrist in one shooting and a shotty spray to thr lower back in another shooting. Crazy fuckin life bro. But yeah bro the street is a dead fuckin end dogg waste of time and effort man all ur hard work just to get hammered by the law and.go sway forever.. and that's IF you survive.

@@DonDadda45 Most ppl don't like to hear the truth.

These dudes are a product of their environment and develop their persona to survive. They weren't born that way no more than those 'thugs' who carried out the January 6th attack on the capitol or the 'thugs' who exhorted them beforehand. Thuggery exists in every corner.

yup to much 2 do in nyc to get like this... nycha has so many incentives.

They not braggin nd you clearly Hurd him say he was 16 he was a dumb kid who grew up ina hood he did his time now he home tryna do better ppl always got some shit to say

Bruh they just don't care💀💀

@@tyresethompson8104 stupidity is what it is act like they don't care till the bid starts

Right like it's an achievement weirdo shit

if you know better, you do better.

They’re mentally still kids

Because they never grew up, they’re mentally kids in adult frames.

Same shit that I said lol

Lol like, give the kids back their playground.

Cuz they think there gangster living off food stamps living in government buildings flexing “they hustle”

The 2000’s generation is different.

Exactly 💯

Damn

These kids are straight crash dummies its sad, and 90% of them not built like that even the goofy talking in the video is soft and trying too hard, once they start doing their hard time they gona turn rats like most of them do, back when i did time it was different, even the last bid from 07 to 15 was decent but now its 4 to 1 pc yards because most these internet gangsta pssy

It's cuz he switched, and got out quicker then a bitch. And don't nobody know yet

How did everyone see us before we had gangs?

Yo, what's really crazy is that I attended P.S. 125 when it was still two schools: the "regular" PS 125 school and the "computer" school. I don't know who remembers, but the 'computer school' was like an upgraded/honors version. I remember Mr. Reese and some other people from the computer school. The "computer school" was re-integrated with the rest of the school; around that time, I was transferred to ICE which wanted to be Stuyvesant/Bx HS of Science for junior high. Watched this video like 4 times -- memories are crazy. God damn.

@@davem7942 That’s crazy I went to IS.286 up the block on 129 by Manhattanville

@@joeyskywalker1322 right down the block on Amsterdam, right? That's the block I grew up on lol. Used to go to the pool right across from that school when I was a kid too.

How is he glorifying this I’m seriously confused

Go do something about it

Go and live with the fairies

I agree ; but they don't realize the power they may have. Get politically involved. That's where the money is for your hood , families an self

I agree with you 💯

Democrat's know exactly where to put the liquor stores,but people are too stupid to see it.

AL 214 what’s so funny?

It's not there fault you gotta get those people who selling that stuff in there neighborhood out that's where the problem is

Ummm there building right in front of it.....

Ummm. Heard of central park?

Ummm like grown man don't play ball or like to relax at the park???

@@lamargilmore4372 he was talking about a playground, that’s meant for children

Not even impoverished it's just marketed as cool

Dudes need to buy some property with all that hustling money they claim to have,,,go legit after a while.

Exactly not only is it rude and uncomfortable for kids to try to play around them it's also wierd as fuck grown men wake up in chill in a playground smoking and drinking shit said black men especially young ones need to do better and want better ,THIS NOT IT !!!!

What's up

Never thought of it like that… schools does look like projects and jails.

Damn

New york got the best hoodz in the usa.

Lol

Exactly. And the white people are moving in slowly but surely.

Facts 😂

It’s like that all over the city. I live in Syracuse and the hoods and good parts are farther from each other and it’s also more segregated than somewhere like Harlem. In the Burroughs you see all types of ppl out and about in Syracuse(and pretty much the whole upstate)the neighborhoods are a lot more defined by race.NYC A world of its own

@@zaytime4156 The whole Usa is the most segregated country in the world. It ain't that way in europe where every place is multi cultural just like nyc but even in nyc the blacks, latinos, chinese, italians etc. got their own neighborhoods

This was exactly the point I was trying to make with my friend, there's no good paying jobs, that was why I rushed into crypto and I see crypto as a safe heaven

That's 100% true because the jobs I saw was just less than $1000 weekly which is very bad for a short widow with 3 kids

That was why I got involved in crypto 2020, now I know l can pay my bills without depending on any good pay job

Investing in crypto is not as difficult most people say, I've been in crypto for the past 4 years now
