Dang.. I grew up in these projects. I'm glad I got out of there though. My mom did a good job raising me and my siblings cause we all made it out of there successfully.
So glad I found this clip! In 1959, my parents moved into these projects (from Spanish Harlem). I was five years old. My dad was the maintenance man in our building. Our apartment was on the right rear side, second floor. I can draw the layout of our apartment, the building, the playground, the walks to the subway, to Coney Island - it was my WORLD and a very HAPPY place, until it wasn’t. I was nine when the police and firefighters woke us up and carried me and my five siblings, driving us to St. Barnabas Children’s Home in Manhattan, the only place that would take all six of us (Ages 2 to 11)….the beginning of living in shelters for the next five years. From 1964 to 1968, I lived on Willoughby Avenue, in St. Joseph’s Home for Girls. That’s where I was nurtured and thrived. I’m 69 now, living in Idaho, but always with a foot inside the projects.
We know we know.. if you ain’t from around here don’t come around here! I wish my people stop glorifying gang gang gang and destroying other black people!
word shit was corny cause either way people gonna come regardless they don’t own the property so as soon it’s eviction notice boom u not from there now 😂🤣
I'm reading these comments while sitting in a rental outside a convenience store situated in the middle of a low income housing project in Europe. None of these pathologies here. Kids are leaving their bikes and going in the store without a worry. Nobody is ice grilling me. There's no fiends wandering around. No gunshots. Just peace. People living life. Working. Some people getting off the bus, coming from evening classes. No victimology about how the projects are a science projects constructed to keep us down. None of that BS.
@@QuinnSmalls215 I’ve heard of some projects in the Bronx shutting down all illegal distribution at times when children come home from school and people who are in the streets like that cleaning up, maintaining order and decency for the elderly etc. it’s possible that people who are in the streets heavy can change their entire situation right where they are if they realize how powerful their thoughts and attitudes are
The cops drive by like watching animals in a cage. Thats a damn shame, they see y'all as animals, beast of prey & is y'all play the part🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️😳. ☝🏾🇲🇦🕌
More lady hosts bc these dudes collectively just be wanting to boast and hear themselves talk. Often times, these guys just be all over the place...I feel the ladies try to tell a story in nuance more and a bit more tuned in that we're wanting to know the story there...not just completely lollygagging stuff.
When fellas are mad active they're known to boast more as a pride thing like a youngster would boast more then a OG. on the other side females are forced into OG mentality cuz dudes in most gang culture are runnin the hame so is a ladys job in the hood to be dominate in her own way to keep collective
These people act like they own the buildings and the streets threatening people to not go over there they’re a nobody if the owner wanted to he can kick them all out 😂
…Same shit different city!!!…I really wish the mindset would change put that energy into coming together & make a positive difference in the community. Shout out to HoodVlogs love the content bro much love🤝💯
@@losangelesca5470 they are all becoming the same recently... in NYC it was always about money but recently its just shoot shoot idc if we broke. My aunt in LongBeach said it was about family over there and now its just my hood rar rar shoot shoot idc what gang you in if you aint from my hood. The Chicago style of gang warfare took over all the cities now. Noone care about family... morals or money its just ima kill you and mock you
This just sad to me. Im born and raised in Bk .Ima b honest this new generation especially, These dudes simply DO NOT WANNA WORK. We all struggling out here , but compared from when I grew uo until now the laziness and "glorification" of being a broke gang member or a "shooter" is some real lazyy bum ishh. EVEN mostly all the "new" younger drug dealers are addicts themselves and the rest self snitching on different social media sights them and on they whole gangs. REAL GOOFY ISH. IT'S gotten pathetic, I thought i would never wanna leave NY , nowadays if i could just save enough man im OUT. NYC been done since the 2000's and this new generation is beyond slow , no drive to "get out" half drugged out snd slow , I'm ashamed of what the city has become and the world too. IT'S ALL DONE. It will NEVER BE THE SAME.
I agree, it don't matter where you from. Get a Job. Work hard & become a Man. I have family in Brooklyn. My Parents are NY Ricans. Some people just don't get it.
@@johnnysundae9495 I grew up in those projects in the early 60s when they were predominantly wht. We had to move out when others from another demographic moved in and residents were getting assaulted and mugged. Although these snowflakes don't want to hear that but take it from a former Marlboro project resident. It's the people and not the buildings that make that project the way it is.
Mann when I was in the projects my goal was to LEAVE I hated it, every night people were getting shot or stabbed. There were home invasions people got their doors kicked in I was so mentally drained from it all
Proverbs <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="254">4:14</a>-22 Do not enter the path of the wicked, And do not walk in the way of evil. Avoid it, do not travel on it; Turn away from it and pass on. For they do not sleep unless they have done evil; And their sleep is taken away unless they make someone fall. For they eat the bread of wickedness, And drink the wine of violence. But the path of the just is like the shining sun, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day. The way of the wicked is like darkness; They do not know what makes them stumble. My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh.
I’ve personally seen a lot of hoods in nyc but I’ve never seen a hood like Marlboro.. it’s really a bubble and people there are stuck.. if I lived in those projects there’s not a day I’d wake up trying to figure out how to get out. I’d hate to come to a building filled with 20 people in a lobby, that’s mad annoying.
@@blast4me754 You're correct cause when we come from a 3rd world country the only thing on our mind is getting a job. I came to the USA as a teen and after high school i was paying rent, so it ain't that complicated.
My God Family is from the Marlboro Houses so I was over there all the time. Watching this video has brought back so many good memories spending time with them. In other words, no matter where you live, it is how you live that counts.
One thing these videos lack is real Men. Probably because it's difficult if not impossible to be a man in a place like this. Every man needs room to grow, and to challenge themselves alone without distractions. You can't do that at place were you are expected to be a certain way and think a certain way. Everytime you turn around, there are people pressuring you and watching you and crowding you. Someone said this is " mental slavery" and I don't think there is a better way to describe these people.
They have heat, electricity, shelter, food, only pay 30% of their check, they have community, running water and they live one of the richest cities with the most resources in the history of the world. They have free schooling, 3K, food stamps, government assistance. Access to trains for reduced fare within several blocks. They think they have it rough, but in most countries, this is EXTREMELY PRIVILEGED LIVING.
They also have parking lots, playgrounds and indoor gym! Amenities. All they have to do is foster an environment that is safe and civil. Reminds me of how people act like predators on Rikers and then wine about how bad it is. It could be decent if they didn't make it so horrible.
@@ayalewdessieabebe It is funny because with all this information at their fingertips the choose to oppress themselves and blame the white man for their shortcomings
With me being from Westside Compton it’s hard to understand when every hood says “If you not from here don’t come here” 1. you to show up and no one is around 🤣 2. Even when they around if you not walking over to approach directly they don’t even look your way or all the big shit they talk on camera… 3. They are gonna say Wassup Bro Bro and give you the head nod… then turn toward the homies and say “Who is that Nigga” Trust n Believe 😂😂😂🫶🏽
LA is the same way. Very few hoods are active as they say. Baltimore and a lot of hoods in Virginia are kind of like that. Philly and South Side Chicago as well. LA, NY are overrated as fuck.
@@em34ev3r Actually L.A and NYC in the 90s like N.O, MIA and Chi were very active. Malboro was one of the hoods that if you came on the that tuff guy sh!t you was get bodied period. This was before all that fake gang sh!t came up in my city. No disrespect to west coast blood and crips , my city should have never been following another city.
It's like once u seen 3 or 4 of these eps, you seen em all. Much respect to Hoodvlogs, keep doing your thing (been watching from the inception in Cali). Yes the content is free and on RU-vid, unlike the Hood2Hood dvds from the mid 2000s where we had to buy em - but this no longer keeps my attention. I really ain't learning anything new. ✌🏿
Shout out to people that continue to brag about knocking off opps and won't brag about knocking off actual opportunities that are often overlooked. Not on any violent vibes my peoples 💯 but free the mind capacity of history of violence. Free the most important part of our history, the mindset. Holla at me.
I grew up in Marlboro. My Grandmother lived and died in building 22. All those babies watched and took to the wrong things. The way it is setup out there is to lose or get stronger. You must develop a very thick skin and be prepared to die. Out there you never know if you going to get killed. It's a place where friends are friends one day and enemies the next. Each one of those people you saw can turn on one another as easy as them giving each other a hug. The spirits call for blood and it is shed. I literally see that the babies I watched growing up are now the killers. I got lucky and realized there was a whole world outside of there. Most are entranced by that place and keep going back. I was a prime example. I would leave for years then mess up and go back there for a while to reset then leave again. It is human nature to go to what they know. I just always had to leave because it was not enough there for me to say that I am living life. What they are saying is true though don't get caught out there and not know anybody. And don't start any trouble if you can they are waiting to try to stomp you to death. Also a fact that they have wrong is the darkside is building 21 to 28. Original shit, light side is the rest of the buildings before you go across the street to the side with the 3 high-rise buildings which is the other side. Literally The Other Side. Not the Light Side.
Congrats brother, there's actually a whole history behind why projects were created and their mindsets are the results of it. I live in the projects now, a single mother, and starting my exit strategy plan before my son hits his teenage years.
Brooklyn is very dangerous and crazy I agree with you. Especially Coney Island beach area, if you go there make sure you look bummy cuz they will run up on you
Marlboro Pjs Darkside Forever ! The whole hood …..Everybody in Brooklyn know Marlboro is Different 💯💯💯 especially if you went to Lafayette and John Dewey
For real niggas got safety transfers all the time from those two schools. Niggas have been known to run whole train stops on elevated train tracks to escape Marlboro niggas. Marlbarians.
My Parents moved into these " Homes" Many years ago. I was born there, it was 1961. We moved out when I was 13. It was actually nice. No one had money and we played with what we had. No fighting, no drug dealing. It was clean, well-kept. Directly across the street they had a baseball field, where were you at all able to play baseball if we join the team. It was run by the PAL. Now I can clearly see it's a jungle. Not safe to live there unless you want to carry a gun and get involved with that scene, otherwise you're going to become a Target. I wouldn't even go there to visit now that's what it's become as you can see from the video. That pretty much spells it out. I wish I had a video from the 1960s and 1970s this way everybody could see how nice it actually was. Shame how people ruin there own neighborhood. Why would you want to destroy the area that you're living makes no sense whatsoever.
November 22, 1963: President John F. Kennedy assassinated. I was 9 years old and living in Brooklyn’s Marlboro Projects. I’ll forever remember that day, walking into our apartment and finding my Puerto Rican mom and our Irish neighbors (who lived directly across the hall), holding hands and quietly crying, comforting each other. Another era in time…..
RAISED FORM A CHICKEN SPOT ! THAT'S A PRETTY FUNNY SENTENCE. IT'S LIKE HIS PARENTS OR SHE I CAN'T TELL IF IT'S A BOY OR A GIRL AND WHY THE HELL IS EVERYBODY WEARING A HOODIE ? THERE'S NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON THAT'S NOT WEARING A CAP OR A HOODIE ? TRYING TO HIDE OR SOMETHING ? WHAT A NIGHTMARE THIS PLACE HAS CHANGED SINCE I LIVED WAS 1961 MOVED OUT WHEN I WAS 13 YEARS OLD . IT WAS A DECENT PLACE TO LIVE SERVED THE PURPOSE NOW IT'S OUT OF CONTROL.
@@wessideconway7029 speaking from PERSONAL experience I can say absolutely no!! I moved from my hood and live in a peaceful place surrounded by peaceful people. I would never revert to how i HAD to be to survive my old neighborhood.
@@jackharlowgan5280 I lived in these projects in the early 60s when they were predominantly wht. We left when the demographics changed and residents were being mugged and assaulted. It's not the buildings but these devils that ruin every area that they dominate. Sorry but that's the truth !
@@wessideconway7029 it takes a couple of generations to shed class flags and underclass behavioral patterns. The lack of self awareness is astounding though. People don't even think about how their behaviors project to others who they are. Aggressive driving. Blowing through and disrupting the rhythm of a 4 way stop. Full limo tinted windows even in the front of the car. Sitting in cars for extended periods of time outside homes where you don't live. I see people walking up the middle of a street in an upper middle class suburb with functioning sidewalks, and I already know. Talking into the speakerphone on their iPhone like a Motorola chirp.
It’s a shame because all they talk about is If you knew my streets you would know, all everybody talk about is who got beef Who's snitchin', who told police Who came home, who's still gone, who Rest In Peace -Nas
Ugh these videos are a stark reminder of where i could be if i didn't meet my wife and move out hood buy a home upstate in the suburbs and raise my sons properly
I've stated this in other Hoodvlogs comments sections. But it can't be overstated that some of the places in NYC operate independent of the rest of the borough and city, and Coney Island really emphasizes that. Despite it being in Brooklyn, it's really separated from the rest of the borough. In the '90s Marlboro was a no go zone. If you weren't from there or didn't know people from there, you just didn't go there at all. Not really sure what Cardi B has to do with Marlboro though being that she is from the Bronx.
Too many brothers hanging out doing nothing, constantly threatening people not to come there. Do they think anyone who's about something wanna be up in NYCHA ? Hell Naw.
shoutout to that ONE person in these vlogs who sound like they have a little bit more sense than the rest. i’m sorry but i don’t want to hear free this person and free that person all the time. in these vlogs i am more interested in the history of where they are from, and what positive changes are they doing which have definitely been showcased. i appreciate those kind of storytelling in these vlogs.
They need to go to south Asian countries and South America like Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, and Dominica. They will see more crazy and so deep there. I been all over South America and Asian. They don’t see shit yet and what out there about.
Yah that's what I want to see too. Every project seems exactly the same and it's all only black ppl pretending to be badass while the government literally owns you.
Peace to The Cycle! No lie I straight up miss that shit.... one of the hardest webseries to hit RU-vid. Shout out to Coney Island and all the P's from the rides back to 37th Street. Surf, Mermaid and Neptune Ave. Big up to Marlborough Houses.. Salute
It;s crazy that a lot of people who live in BK all there lives never heard of Marlboro. I used to see the buildings driving on the Belt Parkway and wonder " are those projects?" then i found out. it is a wild hood.
NOT ONE PERSON SAID ANYTHING THAT WAS WORTH LISTENING TO. ALL NONSENSE ! ! 28 buildings 28 buildings don't come here if you're not from here 28 buildings you know what I'm saying you know what I'm saying you know what I'm saying 28 buildings yeah how many buildings we have yet I give you one guess 28 buildings that's what we got we all needs 28 buildings we paid for them we're all college graduates you heard.
I'm from that hood, I promise you I was making real money out there... $100 sales all day long at 13, at 19 almost 1000 grams in gold, cars, clothes and hoes... I had to die to leave that... literally
@@peelong1339 awesome bro see I couldn't do all that shit my mom would kick my ass if I was on a street corner selling drugs but it was hard for New York City in the 70s and 80s a lot of pimps dope boys and real hustler in 5 different areas in the big Apple but y'all niggas ain't playing around up there just like my city Memphis TN we county as hell but we find ways to get money but on our fashion tip it's trash as hell Memphis TN niggas wear fake ass Louie and Gucci and J's 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 NYC is drip capital
..... So what,... Who cares??..😂 ya'll act like cardi b is a killer 😂 lol ... This new generation be on some clout chasing idk WTF.. SMH.... Like cardi b was out there fighting in the streets,.... With or without the toolie,..... LMAO Funkin youngsters fucked this world up!
“We’re so far from anything..not much to do..we don’t got nothing good here”..bro y’all next to the metro stop and have access to anywhere in the nyc metro area tf you mean 😂
*Ive been to these p’s plenty of time, they really are hood as shit. 🤣 Luckily I’m friends with the main girl that was talking with the braids & she always make me feel hella comfortable* 👑
@@wessideconway7029 Nah Un Kasa definitely not in it. Go check it out shit actually fire. I watched it cause Cardi posted about the series yrs ago. It's on RU-vid
If you ain't from here don't come here... Then call it the trenches, then talk about how much crime is there... Brehhhh AINT NOBODY wanna come there... Not even you, your trying to get out. Whole lotta turf but ain't no property actually owned....
We made it to hoodvlogs Marlboro stand up Crip up I’m from there it’s not only 6loods out there well wen I’m out there it’s not but it’s for yt so show what u want good shit cro
Whenever I watch this gang stuff, it reminds me of the 90s, but pretty much all of these hoods are as safe as suburbs compared to what they were back then.
Let me ask ya’ll sum! How many of ya’ll have had a bad day? How many of ya’ll have had a day were you did not think you would reach your goal? Now let me ask you something about yourself, your track record for surviving hard days, days you thought you did not know what to do, your track record for surviving all those days are 100%. If anyone can see this comment, trust me you are going to be alright 🔒🙌
What’s interesting is I see crime and violence, not poverty. I kind of see just hanging out, not really applying selves. It’s also interesting how nice their clothes are. I understand there are not many jobs outside of food service but they could travel to other areas to “get out”. I think they do crimes and pocket money, lie to government about what they make so their rent can be paid for since NYC rent is so high. They really don’t want to leave this area in my opinion.
