I ain't gotta talk too much You know what it is Bang bang boggie gang We out here just caught a body about week ago We under dogs, we Reservoir Dogs, who let the dogs out ? Me nigga! thats who By my self , one bed , one pillow, no cover , who wanna go night night?
Dude with the dreads was probably a straight A student before street life caught him.He is smart ,very calm and well spoken could have gone very far education wise.Im happy that he still mananged to use his intelligence to help his hood and people.Probably one of the most disciplined gangs i seen in the vlogs lot of smart young guys trying to change their community for the better.This is not a gang these are young leaders .Respect to all these guys for all they do for their community.
But he never stated if he's still in the streets. He may still live there so he'll always be a part of the environment. But nonetheless he may doing ok. Or simply enlivens like most of them are.
Yeah he def on to something with that!!!.... it's been engineered to be that way which is a prison pipeline for inner-city/ghetto youths all over Amerikkka!!!💯 #PRIVATEPRISONINDUSTRIALCOMPLEX
I always said that about myself growing up. Stupid rap music always made that shit so cool and the way to go. Made a lot of money, I would never change my life but it definitely made things hard. I'm happy where I'm at now. Brand new jeep and a tax free job on the reservation. I'm eating good right now legally.
We are naturally good people but we always got that bad batch. I mean look what we made the projects and we made a way out. Looking out for the future to come as well. A lot of us are first generation or second generation.
@@cardmansales9376 Agreed! I come from NYCHA too and though I live differently now, I'm in therapy to cope with the after effects. NYC was DIFFERENT coming up in the 90's
Shoutout to the county of Kings Fort Greene, BedStuy, Flatbush, Red Hook, Coney Island, Brownsville, East New York, Crown Heights, East Flatbush, Clinton Hill, Canarsie, Bushwick and all the rest. Rents might be rising, Hipsters might be conquering but OLD BROOKLYN still runs through my veins!!!
It’s crazy but when I come to Brooklyn I noticed that right across the street from the Marcy Projects is entire Jewish community where they have stores, property, everything for them. It’s mind blowing
Shows what commitment and unity can obtain... We literally watched them go from 10 blocks to right across the street and our people still don't get it yet... smh
I love how you always meet the positive brothers from these dangerous neighborhoods. A lot of positive people in the projects. Just a few rotten dudes that mess it up for everybody
@@drewp1076 True, but I'm talking about experience growing up in the projects here in NY. not everybody in the PJ's is bad. again, it's the rotten few that screw it up for the entire area. They are called projects but not because it's bad.
Bit different to 80s crack era, society has been softened too, not saying I want guns barking off every 2 minutes, but 80s and early 90s was a different animal
This new NY, old NY wasn't no joke. Dudes were out there in the thousands. All these urban cities are now different. The old values & ways are long gone. These dudes in this video were lil children when the old NY was vicious. These new dudes are just that, new. NY always been our big brothers,- PHILLY.
Naw Fam these dudes grew up watching the old dudes. They been there they whole life they not new. Every Generation gets they turn in life homie. Brooklyn💯💪🏽💨
I'm just tried of folks talking about Memphis is worster than Chicago or worster than NY or any other urban ghetto across these United snakes of America. While failing to overstand that the same sh*t or Population control agenda has been going on. In American inner cities/ghettos atleast since the 70's/80's era. It sadly ain't isolated to no one damn city or state.
@@BklynBlinks Yeah I’m a white boy from Tennessee,lol!! Have followed and been a fan of hip hop since the beginning back in the 80’s. Had never heard that story tho.
I respect what Hoodvlogs is doing regarding reaching out to the ppl and introducing himself, embracing their environment etc and making it back home safely. I'm from the hood, but this story is getting old. Unfortunately, most of us are from really messed up areas, but we have to do better. Smoking, drinking, not having goals and not staying focused is not the way. We have all of the tools we need to be successful in most cases, except for capital, so we have to level the playing field. I moved out of the hood because I don't want my kids to grow up the way that I did, living in the hood in 2021 and beyond is not it.
The story is getting old but the system isn’t. Everyone isn’t fortunate to beat systemic poverty. I am loving the fact that these hosts are welcoming people in so that they can respectfully show their environment despite the politicians and governments attempt to represent them as savages.
There's always that one or two Puerto rican 🇵🇷 in the crew. In my crew there's 2 Ricans and 1 Dominican 🇩🇴, the rest is African American. I lovey brothers and sisters and never once looked at em differently. Growing up in the hood ethnicity don't mean shit when you in poverty. It's about unity and maintaining and growing together to progress and become successful in our own ways of success
Down south when I used to like there, it would be more like: replace the latins with the white boys and you got a set of black dudes with one or two whitey's. It would be a different world in the south.
Tracey Morgan was over here in my hood last month# University Ave, Sedgwick Housing. He gave out supplies to the neighborhood children. Love when the celebrities give back to their old stomping grounds!
Salute to Tracy Morgan & all other celebrities or unsung hero's that have made a positive contribution to citizens situated in disenfranchised communities ❤🤝
This is where I grew up, 15 Yrs of my life memories were created here ! Salute to my brothers that made it out that’s still in there & some resting in heaven as some behind bars salute to all !
I’m from MARCY! Park ave. Been there 27 years before having to leave. I recognize most of the guys in the video. Stand up dudes 💪🏾. But the tears I just felt. Because other would just see a hood or the “ghetto”. But all I saw was home, and there ain’t no place like it.
What’s ill about this is I been listening to Jay-Z album 4:44. One of tracks I had on repeat was Marcy Me definitely a dope nostalgia song with a video. Then to see this vlog. Just put things further in alignment.
These brothers were on a different type of energy...they know where they at but still move with pure intelligence n dont glorify negative...one of the best videos on this channel. Theres great ppl everywhere...u just gotta experience 4 yaself. Bless up
One thing I love about Brooklyn is community there really are beautiful spirit people there, like he said the young ones trying to prove something..it just takes the older ones to show the right way
Must be really tough trying to raise your kids in that environment..walking to your apartment and not knowing what's around the corner..much love to the decent families out there striving daily.
That's crazy, I went to middle school on Macon St, right down the block from Marcy Ave. Very happy to see you doing videos all over New York lately. Much love!!

This just give me hope in our people. Everyone had great energy. The people are focused on the beautiful side of living in the hood and they are proud of there history
I’m white and grew up in the bricks, in the South. My family was poor so we were considered “white trash” to the upity white folks. We lived in the hood and everyone accepted us like family. I’ll never forget where I came from and still go back to visit on the holidays. Nothing like family, blood or not. When you’re from there, born and raised there, it’s always home. No matter how far you go in life.
It's good to see them showing positive vibes. There right the rappers just influence but don't show what the consequences are. Half the rappers don't do what they rap about but the youngsters don't know the difference till it's to late.
...one thing I can say about their project-postrerchild Hov...from the very first album...he always gave the good and terrible side of the dope game. And left it for folks to deceide if they want to jump in that lifestyle!, I salute that!
I had a aunt that lived in Marcy used to visit her when they had the green benches at the front of the building back in the late 80s early 90s went back in the late 2000s to see the fam as an adult
Compared to the others projects I seen on here in Brooklyn this one seems the chilliest and most productive/respectful. I pray these guys find something useful to do with their life GOD BLESS 🙏😇💜☝️
THESE DUDES SEEM POSITIVE BUT DONT LET THAT FOOL YOU. WHEN DARKNESS FALLS THIS IS ANOTHER WORLD OUT HERE.. I DONT LIVE IN THE STUY ANYMORE BUT STILL GOT FAMILY THERE.. I DONT BELIEVE ITS AS WILD AS BACK IN THE 70'S AND 80'S BUT HOPE THEY BETTER THEMSELVES
They showed the neighborhood very well. Shout out to these brothers and may they keep safe. I used to live over there and they were spot on with everything.
It's really sad. I've got family that lived in the projects for 40 - 50 years. I could not do it. I was born and raised in it but knew from an extremely early age that I wanted better for myself and now I have that. I am grateful for my roots because it helped mold me into the man I am today but any self respecting individual will always seek out GROWTH!!!
I stayed one summer at my older dads place. then my dad and sister moved in to another building. she won't leave the apartment my dad died in. I could never deal with the lack of aesthetics and the elevators. I'm comfortable no matter the environment but I like things to look and feel clean. I like things to make sense. And I especially like problems solved. once you get comfortable overlooking things. you never leave.
And that's their business. Some people like living in the projects. I wasn't born or raised in the projects but the rent in NYC is too high for many. The projects in NYC are not the same from the 80's that's why some people are moving in to them.
I wish I had a truly positive impact for my golden child , it’s hard being a single mother , it so hard when you been betrayed so much and have very very few to trust , in Due time I’ll figure it out 🙏🏽🗣💯
Dope video brotha , u never fail your supporters 💪🏽I love hearing my brothas from other coast say Gangland . Mozzy branded that 2018 with chain and Album. All the way From Sacramento the 🤟🏾P. It’s all love 🤞🏾. Keep dropping brotha , I stay tuned in 💪🏽 . The marcey one is classic , growing up in the 80s /90s in northern Cali and j being one of my favorite rappers since 96 reasonable doubt LP. Keep going to the trenches as you do brotha 💪🏽mad respect
NYMP!!! I remember visiting Marcy and kicking it my peoples for New Years 2 yrs ago. Brooklyn showed me so much love. Not to mention Hov is my favorite artist.
Shout out to the whole Stuy. Marcy Day was always solid when I went...Its changed over there a lot since that Duane Reade went up. I'm in Queens but will always love the Stuy especially Vernon, Throop,Tompkins, Marcy....Just the whole Bed Stuy. It's Different!!
I'm proud of these young men. Y'all grew up into decent men. You've seen the other side and regardless of how you making your money you know it's about us loving each other. Peace be still. As a senior I know that's what I look forward to is a good peaceful day. Big ups brothers !!!
Yo the positivity is 🔥I know it still gets rough sometimes… but love seeing a video of a neighborhood with youngsters trying to leave this place better than they found it!!!!!
What stuck with me the most was the guy in the dreads saying the Jews were safe and nobody bothers them. How come we can’t extend that respect to our own people.
He mentioned nordstrand ave.. I went to Jamaican restaurant in Brooklyn called peppers Just randomly exploring in nyc. From Connecticut I be trying to see much of nyc. Interesting place if your not from New York
It's interesting 🤔 watching this because I used to live there for 18yrs from ages 6yrs to 19yrs from 1973 to 1988. I still come through because I still have friends that live there I love my Marcy fam everything I am came from there. 504 and 502 stand up
My cousin grew up in Marcy in the 70s/80s Nostrand Ave side. We used to play outside back in the days.My friends mom still live there. I'm from the PJs too downtown Bklyn. Much love to Marcy too. I grew up in the JayZ era.
The unity amongst these young men is great. However how many are really attempting to utilize their mind to elevate becoming entrepreneurs: construction, agriculture, real estate, culinary, graphic design...something tangible for themselves and their future? Much love young men. Stay safe ❤
Shout out to these gentleman. Sorry to hear about the passing. r.i.p. On a positive note.these gentleman are passing the positivity and showing the world. Cool to see a really nice garden. I like to garden. Trees and plants in the city and grass real nice add value shade and what not.on a jobsite you build a box around the tree.I seen a house on longisland built around a holly tree.In the city you dont have to worry about deer like longisland. Roof top gardens would be awesome. I have never seen one. I have been to the Botanical gardens. Check that out that place is beautiful garden in the city huge . I have seen the community gardens. Plant like raspberries and stuff. Low maintenance that comes back every year.Everyone walks buy grabs somethe birds love it too. Or they split the land up every year like a lotto ticket. So you get 10 different people growing different things. That lemonade sounded good. Looked good too. I don’t drink alcohol. That lemonade hits the spot always.winter summer spring and fall. No lemonade get ice tea. Play ground named blueberry very cool my son cant eat strawberry he probably love it,basketball, sports,places to eat.food trucks be good on that road with the extra foot traffic.good food no one complains. Nice to see people giving back to the kids and teaching. The vanguard spot or however you spell it there is a pocket knife named that aswell one of my favorites. By me they call that like a rec center.they help as long as the person running them is positive. “Boys to men” respect. make sure you follow local laws and regulations on pocket knives aswell.I just try to teach my kids young so they don’t get into trouble. Spot on information about the police. Same by me. they are not playing about the guns. In Philly they passed a law that you can’t get pulled over for bs. They need to fix the stealing laws.things are changing. Keep showing the system who’s boss.keep up the good vibes. like that one gentleman said “it is what it is” I’m Irish so it made Sense to me. Keep up the positive vibes. Keep showing the world. I like what the one gentleman said about Wallstreet in the beginning.Hope everyone is good safe and well. Much respect to all. Have a good day to all from mastic longisland newyork.
Sip popcorn when I say a brother from another mother we started in the sand box when the park was concrete damn I miss you... You will never be forgotten gone too soon
1:09, “I’m from downtown South Brooklyn, if you know you know, I don’t need to talk to much, Silence is Golden, Been out here for Mad Years” Then Proceeds to Keep Talking.. Lmao.. 🤣
That’s where I’m from! Shout out to Marcy kid!!!! Shit looks different from when I grew up! I was born there!!! Shout out to hood vlogs!! Keep doing your thing kid! You bring back memories yo!!! Keep it real!!!
These guys all come across well spoken, intelligent and knowledgeable compared to some of the other vlogs I’ve seen on this channel . Keep up the good content 👍 from U.K 🙏🏻
Swing ya cashapp I’ll send you some smh it’s all love where we at why hate, supposed to be lifting each other up not tearing each other down that’s real 🙏🏽💯 -CEO
people are just straight up proud and actually happy for once when they make a life for themselves, comin from nothing. and theres absolutely nothin wrong with that.
To anyone who don't live in NYC! It's not a place you want to move to! It's not affordable, crime is high, jobs etc! It's overcrowded & I won't be surprised if the city sells the projects in NYC! 10 years from now!
@@TheRenegade718 your right they started in rockaway buy buying a project flipping it and renovating it to high class apartment homes!! they got rid of the previous tenants and bought them out for nothing!! its happening all over ny!! these brothers should see it creeping closer and closer to them!! people are tired of the projects!!
I just discovered these hood vlogs (award worthy material) and each time I watch them I can’t help but think of New Orleans smh. They loved their wards too and look what happened. They used Katrina to get them on out of there and they continue to be pushed further and further outside the city. I’m from Texas and over the past few years I’ve met so many black ppl from NY who moved here because they couldn’t afford to live in the hood in NY anymore. One young lady told me even the hood is high af like they’re hood rent in Texas is middle class. Smh. I feel bad because they all clearly love living in NY but I don’t think they will be there long. Black ppl worked hard to migrate up north but gentrification is going to send them all right back down south. And I hate to say this but they come to TX w a chip on their shoulders much like NOLA ppl did at first. We are great ppl and want to work w other black ppl from different states. Give the south a chance. At least you can live here comfortably and raise your family because pretty soon our ppl won’t be in NY.
My aunt and cousins from here used to even deliver for ups here too alot has changed it was not like this bacc then I'm glad things changed even the mentality
