Moved from England to Boston and lived in Roxbury for 4 years. I always felt welcomed by everyone, they all loved my British accent.

Born in Dorchester and left at 15 to Brooklyn NY. I still remember the streets and how fierce it used to be. People who don’t know Boston would think it’s a soft place with nothing going on. lol

I fw Boston shout out Boston 🔥💯

It never fails to amaze me how we have the most well done put together hoods and projects out of the entire country. You look at places like Detroit Chicago Philly it all looks like hell walking on earth. Even the worst projects in boston look like middle class neighborhoods. The city puts alot of effort into making Boston look nice

Definitely not the single worse hood in Boston. Roxbury in general is one of the worse sections of Boston & is the heart of the city . Dorchester has the most murders but is also bigger .

Ok Boston !! stand the fuc up !! WE MAKE CHAMPIONSHIPS 🏆💯 #prayformycity💪🏾 iykyk 😎

Thanks for the trip down memory lane ❤ I just realized why boston is the safest city in the country. Dudes hard AF.

Yo they speaking straight facts about the bean, i grew up on dale st right down the street from Brotha Malcom's Grandmother's house that's an honor knowing that, i'm 52 to now living in cambridge but i still rep Roxbury all day 💪💯🔥🔥🔥🔥

Being from Boston the garden ninjas actually on point how our city is, this the hood but it's alot of hating shid from almost everyone and it's a everyone for themselves mentality out here even with your own circle just how Boston molded our minds. Salute to Warren gardens glad to see some younger smart homies

Born in Dorchester and left at 15 to Brooklyn NY. I’m 34 now. I still remember the streets and how fierce it used to be. People who don’t know Boston would think it’s a soft place with nothing going on. lol

& Boston artists never get love from the city because every one got beef with everyone.

I grew up in WG in the mid 70’s when we had block parties every weekend and the neighborhood wasn’t what it is now or was 10-15 yrs ago. WG was one big family and the store belonged to Jesse Waters. We use to say… I’m going to sunrise (the red store). Family Day in WG was when every house cooked out and everyone participated. I lived in WG until I was 25ish on Fenno!! WG4life!!!

Way to represent the G my pops a OG from there on dogs and thank y’all for lettin niggas know our lingo on dead dogs, NY be takin lingo every trip 💯

I want the Bean to win fr 💯

R.I.P Tyrus Sanders 👍🏿 he was a kool ngga at 16-17

Im 51 and grew up in Roxbury. Down the St. from Warren Gardens. Not a huge fan of todays hip-hop but appreciate you introducing these artist from Boston I never heard about. I went to school w/ Munchie if its the same dude about my age (51) he might be younger. Lol I played for BNBL for a minute.

I'm from mass n I don't think y'all saw Lawrence yet

Come to Fairmount , Hyde park

We always in some city trying to make our neighborhoods seem rough and ghetto. We're such an embarrassment here in America.

Back in in the day, charlame had beef with Humboldt. Parts of Charlame was right down the street from Warren Gardens.

Boston been having motion 👌🏽

I love being from Mass. It’s about time. Keep showing the rest otherwise. I liked this interview because so many people have made the City look Goofy as if us flavored people do not exist. Like yall know what I’m talking about😂Support our people. Keep going I support. I show love. Peace and Blessings.❤

You know Boston safe when the example for “dangerous” hood is Warren gardens🤣🤣🤣😂

As a black woman from Dorchester. Boston has great rappers and entrepreneurs.

🫡🫡🫡 to whoever put this together. Boston has alot of dooope artists that wont get their recognition jus simply cause they're from a hated city. I LUUUV MY HOOD/ CITY💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿🫡🫡 to all tha REAL artists 🎤🎤 #RoxburyGurl4Life

Boston native. Used to live near there. Never thought it was as bad as some areas. But I fux wit them too. At least I did back in the day.

I like that these guys care about community and the need for some rec services for the youth in that area, i think thats great.

I'm from the rough and mean streets of Wellesley MA. THE REAL HOOD OF BOSTON! No playing.

Represent yall hood Boston gang life for ever

I used too sing and meet every Monday with my manager chickie Goldberg in Boston mass,knew a few Boston is not for the weak,thank God I was weak or stupid 1982 through 1984 but just like any city or town country there's crazys killers stickup boys you just got too be street wises,aware not trust every damn body no matter how friendly

For real everybody hates in Massachusetts that’s why it’s so hard to come up like that not even just Boston. Trust me when I say it I live here I know 😂

Born in the g

So there is pride in being the most dangerous hood in Boston? Is there some kind of coupon u get for that? Like Melvin said on the movie Baby Boy "Ahh youngsters.."

Sunrise to midnight if I recall right. That store has been there since at least the 1940's. I lived on Rockland St until I was three, my family was all over that neighborhood, there were even Gypsies throughout Roxbury as well as the South End. There was the Dale St Tavern that was directly across from where McDonald's is. Rockland was a through street to Warren before they built Warren Gardens. Roxbury Mall is a dug out hole. There were red brick apartments and stores from Walnut Ave to Townsend St. Nothing but houses through out the Bower St area which is where the mall is now. Have to cut this short too much to tell.

All black people in Boston are innocent and amazing. I love my Bostonians!

Word definitely on Point that was the good old 90's

Salute 🫡 to my beantown brothers trust them streets just like any other we just more sophisticated work hard Boston a young city u work a month straight and focus you will be on your feet good opportunities ❤️💯✌🏽

The big homies still tryna teach the youngins which keeps large gangs from getting outta control. But it keeps them from supporting each others music which is a down side.

Everywhere in Boston is crazy especially Lynn and Lowell

I lived in Philly visit nyc but Boston is definitely cool to chill if you trying to leave the rough life, as far as crime is pretty low so yeah its definitely the ghetto but you don't have to live in a fast pace life here unlike other cities

I remember when they was call it G side Joe side ... Warren Gardens Saint Joe and Copeland was together ❤️... the day yall cut that Beef out ... The day Boston come together we be bigger than Music 🎶

I'm from Worcester, and I've never heard "Yin". I've heard "Yinz" from Pittsburgh, though.

They can cross the street and go to Little Scobie park if they want to play basketball 😂

Yo Bean town the home of Adidas

I'm glad yall did this nbs.. For those of yall saying boston music Caca Theres a few mfs that made it so yea. For the ones saying the hood looks nice They currently gentrifying it. I'm 30 it was not like that 3 4 years ago they building mad new shxt. And these is youngins in the Gardens it looked worse than that. Also the red store was blue and broke down lmao. For the other hoods they spitting str8 facts mattapan etc is on the same type of timing but they got a predominantly set group of people. U know dudley st. Thru Dorchester is CVs Mattapan lil Haiti the we got the bury which is predominantly black but the somalian be taking over with they big ass families in the gardens 1 and 2. But yes we gritty out here for sure. Its calmer now cause there is mad white folks moving in Roxbury and Dorchester..not liking it at all but..

Yall need to come the pacific north west to cities like Portland, tacoma , seattle , there's alot of hoods out here, but i did grow up in providence ri so i seen both worlds

🏆Boston City Of Champions 🏆

I’m glad the dude in the p hoodie and the other skinny dude talking cause they really tell you how it is out here

I truly recomend you go to lawrence when you come to mass next. I can name you multiple places where it looks more hood (strictly cause people are complaining about that. Lawrence, holyoke/ springfield, brockton, and new bedford for mass. Lawrence is really the bronx of massachusetts. Youll understand when you go, and people from the bronx are aware of lawrence cause they often have family there. Ill also mention places in rhode island and connecticut, since theyre new england as well. For rhode island, id recomend central falls first, then pawtucket, and various place in the south and west side of providence. The culture in rhode island is very interesting. It has similarities to mass, but also a lot of its own stuff. For connecticut, id recomend waterbury, hartford, and brudgeport. Those neighborhoods in boston are 100% the hood. But as boston started getting gentrified after 2008, the hood shrunk, a lot of people moved to the places i named, and the city put a lot of work into making projects, schools, parks, sidewalks, and streets and stuff nicer as far as looks go. The modern day hood in boston reminds me a lot of the modern day hood in dc. Theyre comparable if youve visited both places. The violence is up and down.there have been A LOT of big ricos in the past 4 years in boston. This part of boston was very dangerous in the 80s through 2000s. Regardlessly, theres still gun violence, drugs, crime and poverty all through there. You can easily get inti trouble, and a lot of people are on section 8. However, if things keep trending the way they have, there will hardly be a hood in boston, aside for a few projects. The hood will entirely move to the other cities i listed.

I lived on walnut ave in the brick across the street from the park. It’s live or was live every weekend.

Always 30 deep plus 50 close by facts the ville mystic PJ's back in the 90's it was always lit

from sincity to the bean all love MURDAHMASS!!

Come to Springfield

They could’ve film this on a day when it was more ppl around. Should’ve came on Dab 🤷🏾‍♂️

On your thumbnail it's says "most dangerous hood in boston" What hood is that bro?

My city is making motion.. Boston stand tf up

This hood looks clean and peaceful but that don't mean is not dangerous.. Philly looks crazy and dangerous

RIP MIP

Seems like a nice neighborhood

Big minds make big bandz illuminate time

Crazy cus that's my auntie crib at da parks

come to Springfield Massachusetts

Bro we rep period

lawrence is like a third world country lmao, especially compared to this.

The difference is it’s more about Hoods than gangs in Boston. In other states no matter what hood it is they are aligned with only 2-3 broader gangs. I think that’s what makes Boston the Realest City in the World! Because we never were followers of silly National trends. Any criminal can wear any bandanna over their face it’s all about Hats *B*🧢 *Nd* At least that’s how it was the longest time I think the younger generations are starting to follow this social media trend but I hope they realize it’s better to not fix something that ain’t broke

G fredo and kal was gon blow up 4 real before gettin hit with rico

this def not the most dangerous hood in boston. thats a fact. st.joe be putting belt 2 ass on them

I grew up in Massachusetts, I've lived in probably 15!different towns and cities by now but watching these vlogs is pretty cool. Black white or brown, poor or middle class we all did the same as kids and teens. Kind of funny the only difference is what we decided to do after the first time we got into real trouble or did drugs. Some of us decided to live better lives others keep repeating the same shit. Sad.

Brockton aint to far from the Bean 💯😎💪🏾

Bro aint know way we 5z out here

I been in new York my whole life - we kno of Boston .

No disrespect west Medford all dayy

free twin 🖤

My uncle from there those dudes be on straight timing over there don’t go over there if you aren’t from there #GSIDE

Blunt heads still a thing?

Grew up around dale ave chilled around Washington st word walk around to get to McDonald’s

My old projects!! 3 Circuit Ave

whats the craziest thing you seen out here? boston- fire crackers and houses on fire 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Dorchester Kid

All the gates are up blocking the street exits because there were so many shootings that was their way for the police to catch ppl and they couldn’t run through. I was living there when they put the gates up. Police had a hard time catching ppl cuz you can run from walnut ave all the way through to Copeland. Unless someone in WG opened their door 😂. Through it all WG was my best memories and I still keep up with my WG family!!!

He still trying to light that..

Their “hoods” are so clean and pretty. I love seeing the kids at the park while these grown men pretend “it gets crazy out here”. Boston is so cap.

Ipswich, Massachusetts 356 baby!

22:28 they painted over and destroyed a bunch of our great murals.

nobody scared of warren gardens lmao

617 all day 😊

And community centers are needed everywhere. Put a studio for collabs, basketball courts, bring them all together. There’s a chance here

508/617 Stand Up💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

I’m from Roxbury, and I agree that it’s one of the most dangerous neighborhoods. I mind my own business, but still, Roxbury is still dangerous

it was a nelson mandela mural not malcolm x

Most dangerous tactic is unemployment. Deport half of them

Boston drill music is straight CaCa..#facts #stoptryntosoundlikNYC

Lol come to new bedford / fall river....the projects dont look that good at all!@
