@@foreign2shooter word; these hood blogs don't never come to the Bricks/Illtown or parts of Irvington 18th ave ect. I'm thinking we're to ill, or we're to close to NYC.
This young man is sharp as a whip. Very well spoken, strong eye contact and respectful to the past, present and future generations. Very refreshing to see!
I love that all due respect I'm from that area but live in GA now I'm from the old school hip-hop and its all about respect and they are very strong on that down here I been here since the late 90'z we say good 🌄 hey which means hello everyone respect everyone down here regardless of color except the ignorant that old saying it ain't where you from its where you at peace and love to all the family
Some these other hood vlogs just got young dudes wildin, talking about nothing and at the end of the day when shit gets real they will all flip on each other, I promise that ... but with this one, it just felt like family.. respect and generational history. This is a great example of how much hoods can mean to people and families.
Thing is growing up in nyc or any hood in America people were living that life because you had too now a days kids just wana imulate the whole gangsta life Big up NYC concrete jungle
That’s that Puerto Rican talk . A lot of those Puerto Ricans influenced by the codes that go on in the island like the perla n stuff . Real mafia shit , all about the business and loyalty , all that extra shit goes out the window 💯💯
I'm from the Westcoast, but I appreciate the Eastcoast cats for being so humble. Kind of dude's I'd chill with. I also appreciate the knowledge of history from within their communities.
I thought this was a discovery channel, man is so detail about his neighbourhood. Thank you for this content for non American like me. Love from Bali, Indonesia
I was visiting family in those projects and when I got on the elevator a rat the size of a raccoon got on and everyone was acting normal, meanwhile I was shittin bricks and that rat got off at the 12th floor like he had somewhere to go.
Salute to this young man for his grind. His approach, his attitude, his cadence, context and quality....all very respectable. I wish you nothing but success 💯
@Ray Sun G acts black lol didn’t he just told us where he from. A lot Puerto Rican’s really white lol anywho the brother is not black! Lol anywho a lot black people don’t like to be called African Americans. Africans don’t like Africans from the United States 🇺🇸
@@seekingsuccess1 : They’re Not African’s they’re officially known as Blacks in America. The White man labeled them that. They were born Here in America. He’s mad cause he doesn’t know his identity or doesn’t want to admit it. This is his flag 🇺🇸 Period!
@Ray Sun G I ask google, what is the “white” Puerto Rican considered?? On average they are %64 European. Go ask the question yourself! The point is they not black!! He want them to circle black. He calling them culture vulture for not circling black. They definitely not black!
I really like how this guy narrated the video. Cool, calm, collected. No barking, no fronting, no ignorant behaviour, no extra. Seem like a real chill dude.
@@samadams219 If you was to go to the hood and visit everyone’s home you will be surprise how nice a lot of the homes are. Contrary to belief there are only a few dirty fucked up houses on the inside.
I grew up in East Harlem & everything he said was spot on. That dead end with St.Anns & the nuns was a dangerous spot because it was never lit. A lot of people didn’t know the chopped cheese originated on 110th & 1st so I’m glad he said that.
I grew up in the South Bronx in the 70's 149th st. Brook ave. It was hell for us we were dirt poor, no heat in the winter, water pipes froze, got water from the Hydrant, Nuyrican, the hood made a real man out of me, thank god I survived and joined the Army, spent 20 years active service.
You gotta see it in the summer when it's block parties and latino music everywhere.. I moved out of NYC when I was a little kid but those memories never leave.
Man I could listen to him talk that all daaaay!!!!! Hes so knowledgeable and still having respect for his neighborhood! Showcasing the best and giving love and support to those who need it! 💯🙏🏼👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽
This is one of your best videos yet. No throwing of gang signs and complaining of disenfranchisement. Just a young dude with knowledge of his neighborhood. Very interesting.
Born and raised here wouldn’t change it at all had homies who were black, mexican, puerto ricans, dominicans. The Lifestyle was everything to me growing up.
East 109th 💪🏽💪🏽 I stayed there as a little girl,up until 6 years old. NY standup! 🗽 East Harlem (Spanish Harlem/El Barrio) there’s a lot of Puerto Ricanss.. I loove Puerto Ricanss! lol they’re mad cool & make you feel like family. 😎 I miss that food 😋 Cuchifritos on 116th between Lexington & 3rd 😋😋
Puerto Rican’s have been so important to the development of NYC culture. They were the first Latinos to migrate in large numbers to NYC and they brought all their Caribbean sazón with them to share with the rest and to help shape the city, boricuas will always have my love and respect 🇵🇷😍💙.

Dude looks like Lewis Hamilton. Anyways, he would be a great real estate agent. I hope gentrification doesn't erase the cultures that make NYC special 🇵🇷
This area is always interesting to me. They got CitiBikes outside of those projects posted up lol. I don’t think I would’ve seen that in a million years. I always chuckle when I see… “out of towners” bopping through the hood with their backpacks looking at folks in their “natural habitat” lol. It’s so odd. Gentrification has already taken over a good chunk of Harlem. Even in the most hood spots there’s some brunette from Texas who “loves Harlem” and claims it like they’re born n raised. Or some transplant from North Carolina who wants to get closer to their “black roots” after learning how to be black in college lol.
@Ray Sun G wouldn't you be if you had to live with them 😂 pr have been in 🇺🇸 less time but have moved passed black community long ago.... By looks of anti hate Asian bill that was just passed>they have too.. I 👀 Democrats are separating everything to keep everyone in line..
I remember the movie Strapped. I know the movie was based in Brooklyn, but I never knew it was shot in Harlem. Good tour of the p's and you got Foster and Taft right next door.
I swear i always thought they shot it in a brooklyn housing project i thought it was fort greene houses very similar housing project also with 14 and 7 story buildings if im not mistakin
big shout 2 homey .. he def held it down for his hood, son knew EVERYTHING ... N peep how he respect his family & whole time ain't have to front & try to act all hard for the camera .. SALUTE u bro need more like u out here
This man is an excellent host! He has a really good flow. Thorough and organized. Great content, interesting history. He can absolutely make a career out of this if he wanted to.
Man I swear i ve been waiting for one of those NY videos forever. I am so always overhyped when I see them. Always those u brought are articulate with their words they stand up for their hoods and so intelligent compare to other states who look goofy and they can't even talk without throwing gang signs and gang terms. Keep it more of NYC boroughs and thank u so much.
This was actually amazing!!!!!!, protect that man at all costs 🤲🏾🙏🏾, I love how he broke everything down into detail when it's comes to NYCHA Apartments, need someone like this for each Borough!!!! And Harlem is Huge, and that just the East side!!!!!
Born, raised and survived 110st and Madison ave a whole lot of people didn’t make it off that block, caught my first direct sale in Johnson projects 🤣🤣💯💯
I spent 2 years in East Harlem as a missionary. When I go to New York now with other people they never understand why I couldn’t care less about anything but going up past 100th street and Lexington and hitting up the bodegas and hanging out with all the good people there in Harlem. I saw some crazy shit when I was walking and knocking doors in all those projects but man I miss and love the people of Spanish Harlem. The Dominicans and Puerto Ricans especially, good food! Great people! Thanks for taking me back with this video!
Respect, I’m NuyoRican from BXNYC. In NYC my headspace was always on “no hope” when I joined to serve in the USAF it changed me made me believe in hope. It opened up my world view serving my Country. I still go back to the BX and talk my gente to get out of ur comfort zone. I’m still NEW YORK.
Boi I grew up in the South Bronx in the 70's, NuyoRican myself, joined the Army now retired disabled veteran, joining the Army changed my life, never thought I would leave the ghetto life, great to serve my country, 20 years active service, Infantryman / paratrooper 82d Airborne Division.
From Miami to NYC. Shout out to all my PR brothers and sisters. Being Black, aside from the Haitians and Jamaicans most of my childhood friends I grew up with were Cuban, Puerto Rican, and Dominican. Salute.
Son just humbly put on for the east side. Im from the west side but I respect this and the way he articulated throughout the vlog. Was true to himself and knew his history. A lot of us New Yorkers could never break the P’s structure down like that. Son in the car been through some shit too. #Harlem
It's a simple observation bro stop it, dude is like 40 of he can't articulate himself properly by now lol, i love NY reminiscing is cool and all but that shit sucks, NY is trash rn if you really think about it and if you have kids forget about it, they be a lot of bitches out there nowadays this dude a real one if everyone was like him it be dope but that's not the case i could go on and on but it's not even worth it i miss the old NY plain and simple.
@@ziggymunz8307 you said he's more intelligent than 99% of journalist to that statement yes i was talking to you with my first sentence, everything after that was just my opinion on the state of where NYC is at at the moment.
Man, this means a lot. I always wanted to see how my Puerto Rican brothers live, there are zero Puerto Ricans in LA haha. Much love from Black to Brown!
Nothing but respect for this young brother. Very well spoken and knows the history in his hood and not complaining about his situation. Showing nothing but respect for everyone. Keep doing you young man your future is very bright.1♥️💪🏾👊🏾
If u have to visit just go there with somebody that knows these streets of Spanish Harlem. 80% are all projects.. If u not from the jungle don't go in..

I love New Yorkers. They seem so much more chill and intelligent than other places, especially other hoods. Nowhere near the senseless violence that you would see in places like Chicago or Baltimore.
@@davepluck5138 check the crime statistics. New York has 10xs the population with same or fewer murders. That’s a huge difference. Chicago has twice the murders with about 1/4 the population.
@@davepluck5138 obviously if you pick out the worst area of the Bronx it will look just as bad but there’s 8 million people in NY. They don’t have the senseless violence that Chicago or other cities do on anywhere near the same scale.
Many of us from Nyc come from the Caribbean where poverty is extreme. Most Americans THINK they have it hard when in reality they live like Kings when compared to Latin American/Caribbean countries.
He represented those of us who grew up in the jects right. Both my grandmas apartments was always kept nice and clean.. and it definitely felt like a community. People love always talk about the few that bring negativity.. but if u live there or frequent there you know the projects are full of great hard working people just trying to live 💯. Shoutout to the east
I went to school here, MCSM. It’s nice to see the neighborhood again, so many memories. He wasn’t lying about the chop cheese sandwiches, they are the best. I used to get the BLT or chopped cheese from the deli after school almost everyday. Also the dude was on point, he really knows his stuff. Great video!

Born and raised in East Harlem! I love my East Harlem, and I love how everything is so accurate! I grew up on 108th and lex! Keep it up my guy, I love how happy you embrace our east Harlem! You should also talk about the racism there was between Puertoricans and Mexicans in the late 80’s - 90’s. I’m Mexican, but the stories my pops would tell me when he immigrated in East Harlem, was insane. I love this! Keep it up man 🙏🏽
I grew up in Chelsea PJ's and my mom had all white furniture with gold and wooden accents and a fireplace. She was raised in Johnson PJ's and she would always tell us "just because you live in the PJ's doesn't mean you have to be of the PJ's"
Damn I moved to Florida 2 years ago… HBO.. Harlem and bx only,,, was raised in 1810 lex Ave,,,, homie did his thing as for representing for us…. Miss da hood
I’m from central Harlem but I know these areas somewhat, and it amazes me how much more I just learned about this side of Harlem. Very informative. And I lovveeee me my chopped cheese!!!!
That's a very nice spacious apartment you got in the Jects my G, I respect how y'all take pride and still live clean and comfortable. All signs of RESPECT. Cleanliness is next to Godliness.
it looksspacious but its not. your shoulders are about 2 inches off the wall when walking. its just the cut that makes it look spacious. the rooms are nice sized tho depending on the apartment line. Some apartments have huge rooms and then others have rooms that are a little bigger than a closet. all in all we greatful for a roof.
I grew up in East Harlem. We always have had some great people. Unfortunately, there were some homies who moved to the “the dark side of the Force” but for the most part just great people. We didn’t have much when we came from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 but to me we always had family. Look at all the pictures in his house. I have moved up in the world thanks be to GOD. However, my mom still lives in Franklin Plaza and it will always be home. I visited my 90 year old mom there yesterday. Beautiful people. Much ❤️ and respect for this young man in the video. He spoke from the heart ❤️ and told it like it is. Lots of great people in El Barrio. This video made my day and I thank you very much.
watching this guy & Watching all of your other vlogs. This dude by far gave the most in depth and vivid picture of his community. dude needs a damn TV Show.
You see the difference between NYC and the rest of the US.. we have no need to flash guns or make it a point to say how dangerous it is because if you know YOU KNOW.. we just want to tell you the history of the neighborhood and how great out community is! Shouts to the twin UFO Fev this was dope as fuck!
That’s the Puerto Rican side tho . That’s literally Spanish Harlem . U go to Brooklyn and u gon see a lot of fronting and literally snitching on themselves for the clout

I swear i always thought they shot it in a brooklyn housing project i thought it was fort greene houses very similar housing project also with 14 and 7 story buildings if im not mistakin
Yea some of Above The Rim was taped on the east side
Damn I really thought it was Brooklyn, and this isn't the first time I heard this

big shout 2 homey .. he def held it down for his hood, son knew EVERYTHING ... N peep how he respect his family & whole time ain't have to front & try to act all hard for the camera .. SALUTE u bro need more like u out here
This man is an excellent host! He has a really good flow. Thorough and organized. Great content, interesting history. He can absolutely make a career out of this if he wanted to.
Much respect to the young man representing his community. Very respectful, very articulate, and very knowledgeable
Man I swear i ve been waiting for one of those NY videos forever. I am so always overhyped when I see them. Always those u brought are articulate with their words they stand up for their hoods and so intelligent compare to other states who look goofy and they can't even talk without throwing gang signs and gang terms. Keep it more of NYC boroughs and thank u so much.
This cat loves the hood and the hood loves him back. Very articulate and well spoken man. 💯
I’m from San Diego, CA and never been to New York. These type of tours are beyond interesting. Thank you!

I was raised in 2nd half of Jefferson, 115th st between 2nd & 3rd to be exact. This young man represented the east side extremely well. Salute to him!
This was actually amazing!!!!!!, protect that man at all costs 🤲🏾🙏🏾, I love how he broke everything down into detail when it's comes to NYCHA Apartments, need someone like this for each Borough!!!! And Harlem is Huge, and that just the East side!!!!!
True hood tour guide with intelligence, positivity in story telling of his hood was uplifting

I spent 2 years in East Harlem as a missionary. When I go to New York now with other people they never understand why I couldn’t care less about anything but going up past 100th street and Lexington and hitting up the bodegas and hanging out with all the good people there in Harlem. I saw some crazy shit when I was walking and knocking doors in all those projects but man I miss and love the people of Spanish Harlem. The Dominicans and Puerto Ricans especially, good food! Great people! Thanks for taking me back with this video!
Respect, I’m NuyoRican from BXNYC. In NYC my headspace was always on “no hope” when I joined to serve in the USAF it changed me made me believe in hope. It opened up my world view serving my Country. I still go back to the BX and talk my gente to get out of ur comfort zone. I’m still NEW YORK.
Boi I grew up in the South Bronx in the 70's, NuyoRican myself, joined the Army now retired disabled veteran, joining the Army changed my life, never thought I would leave the ghetto life, great to serve my country, 20 years active service, Infantryman / paratrooper 82d Airborne Division.
From Miami to NYC. Shout out to all my PR brothers and sisters. Being Black, aside from the Haitians and Jamaicans most of my childhood friends I grew up with were Cuban, Puerto Rican, and Dominican. Salute.

Big ups and salute my G word 😎🙏👍
Domi and Bori love we out here 😝
@Jay Aleem I know that.
@Jay Aleem so what?! They’re still not “Black” in the American sense of the word. We Latinos don’t operate off of race like that.
Son just humbly put on for the east side. Im from the west side but I respect this and the way he articulated throughout the vlog. Was true to himself and knew his history. A lot of us New Yorkers could never break the P’s structure down like that. Son in the car been through some shit too. #Harlem
This guy is more intelligent than 99% of the journalists in the English speaking world
It's a simple observation bro stop it, dude is like 40 of he can't articulate himself properly by now lol, i love NY reminiscing is cool and all but that shit sucks, NY is trash rn if you really think about it and if you have kids forget about it, they be a lot of bitches out there nowadays this dude a real one if everyone was like him it be dope but that's not the case i could go on and on but it's not even worth it i miss the old NY plain and simple.
@@HRMxGreat Are you talking to me or?
@@ziggymunz8307 you said he's more intelligent than 99% of journalist to that statement yes i was talking to you with my first sentence, everything after that was just my opinion on the state of where NYC is at at the moment.
You're easily impressed then😩
@@HRMxGreat Sorry man I cant argue with you until you’re literate
Man, this means a lot. I always wanted to see how my Puerto Rican brothers live, there are zero Puerto Ricans in LA haha. Much love from Black to Brown!
Much love to LA from a Puerto rican
I would like to visit south central and east Los Angeles one day brother.
Yea we’re decently populated throughout almost every neighborhood in NY, Much Love from The Bronx 🇵🇷
How many Latinos west of Florida aren't Mexican?
White + brown love. Forget the black
Nothing but respect for this young brother. Very well spoken and knows the history in his hood and not complaining about his situation. Showing nothing but respect for everyone. Keep doing you young man your future is very bright.1♥️💪🏾👊🏾
I always have wanted too visit Harlem.Alot of cultural diversity all over NYC.
Manhattan is the best borough to go for entertainment. I love Manhattan, though I live in the Bronx.

Watching your vlogs on New York has given me a whole different look at the projects. Great community, smart people, and united.
Amazing storytellers. I went through a wave of emotions and could see everything he described. I’m blown away.
Seeing ur beauty I'm blown away
I love New Yorkers. They seem so much more chill and intelligent than other places, especially other hoods. Nowhere near the senseless violence that you would see in places like Chicago or Baltimore.
@@davepluck5138 check the crime statistics. New York has 10xs the population with same or fewer murders. That’s a huge difference. Chicago has twice the murders with about 1/4 the population.
@@davepluck5138 don’t twist my words. Read what I said.
@@davepluck5138 obviously if you pick out the worst area of the Bronx it will look just as bad but there’s 8 million people in NY. They don’t have the senseless violence that Chicago or other cities do on anywhere near the same scale.
Many of us from Nyc come from the Caribbean where poverty is extreme. Most Americans THINK they have it hard when in reality they live like Kings when compared to Latin American/Caribbean countries.
@@Utubedeletescomments some segments of society in America WANT to be victims, even though they have it better here than anywhere else in earth.
Keep going man. New York is the place we want to see. Salute from Russia, Siberia.
Born and raised in Spanish Harlem. #WilsonProjects The 70/80/90's was really wild. It changed a lot but you still gotta be on point!!! 💯®️🗣
I dig how everyone he interviews is intelligent intellectual and very respectful 🙏🏾🙏🏾
He represented those of us who grew up in the jects right. Both my grandmas apartments was always kept nice and clean.. and it definitely felt like a community. People love always talk about the few that bring negativity.. but if u live there or frequent there you know the projects are full of great hard working people just trying to live 💯. Shoutout to the east
This young man is articulate and did an amazing job sharing his hood with the world...big ups!
Beautifully said. He spoke about his hood with pride. Very well detailed. My dude UFO. Respect.
Homie represented his Hood well. I' gotta visit NY someday
I was thinking the same thing family

Ain’t shit in NY rn it’s wocky rn no kap
Best city in the world!!
I love seeing people, all people, live. From Cali to NY. Hope everyone is blessed and enjoying life while avoiding taking one.
Much respect. I love to see how proud and knowledgeable he is on his neighborhood. That's dope!
I went to school here, MCSM. It’s nice to see the neighborhood again, so many memories. He wasn’t lying about the chop cheese sandwiches, they are the best. I used to get the BLT or chopped cheese from the deli after school almost everyday. Also the dude was on point, he really knows his stuff. Great video!
Fun fact: 2pac is also originally from the Eastside of Harlem!

Harlem born and raised. This brought back memories. Good video and good storytelling. He took it back.
Born and raised in East Harlem! I love my East Harlem, and I love how everything is so accurate! I grew up on 108th and lex! Keep it up my guy, I love how happy you embrace our east Harlem! You should also talk about the racism there was between Puertoricans and Mexicans in the late 80’s - 90’s. I’m Mexican, but the stories my pops would tell me when he immigrated in East Harlem, was insane.
I love this! Keep it up man 🙏🏽
Yes that’s how that Mexican gang vagos 110 and 116 came to be
I grew up in Washington, played ball in Foster and Taft. Very accurate with his knowledge. Salute brother.
I LIKE HOW THEY KEEP THEIR APARTMENTS CLEAN. NICE VIDEO.
Because they are in the hood you are expecting to see dirty, nasty apartments? 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
@@MrAngelroc I’m pretty sure you have seen dirty, cluttered spaces in non NYCHA homes and regular houses. Take your argumentation elsewhere.
I grew up in Chelsea PJ's and my mom had all white furniture with gold and wooden accents and a fireplace. She was raised in Johnson PJ's and she would always tell us "just because you live in the PJ's doesn't mean you have to be of the PJ's"

I’m from central Harlem but I know these areas somewhat, and it amazes me how much more I just learned about this side of Harlem. Very informative. And I lovveeee
me my chopped cheese!!!!
Now this was a good vlog. Need more like this. Can really get a sense of the community and hot spots.
That's a very nice spacious apartment you got in the Jects my G, I respect how y'all take pride and still live clean and comfortable. All signs of RESPECT. Cleanliness is next to Godliness.
it looksspacious but its not. your shoulders are about 2 inches off the wall when walking. its just the cut that makes it look spacious. the rooms are nice sized tho depending on the apartment line. Some apartments have huge rooms and then others have rooms that are a little bigger than a closet. all in all we greatful for a roof.
You not only go to the hood but get some real OGs on the cam to give us tour. It is a different type POV and I love it. Salute💪🏼
The NYC videos are always the best ones
I grew up in East Harlem. We always have had some great people. Unfortunately, there were some homies who moved to the “the dark side of the Force” but for the most part just great people. We didn’t have much when we came from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 but to me we always had family. Look at all the pictures in his house. I have moved up in the world thanks be to GOD. However, my mom still lives in Franklin Plaza and it will always be home. I visited my 90 year old mom there yesterday. Beautiful people. Much ❤️ and respect for this young man in the video. He spoke from the heart ❤️ and told it like it is. Lots of great people in El Barrio. This video made my day and I thank you very much.
Respect to NYC. Brooklyn here- bro sounds like JimJones turned real estate agent. Can’t front homie is a great speaker
Yes yes!! RIP to my grandfather! This was my 2nd home! 2nd ave 104th st! Brings back so much memories!
Tore the turnpike up for years, coming from philly to Harlem. Nothing but Love for 112th! ✊🏽🦾

Respect to my dude for seeing through what it is. He's in it and it's in him but he sees where the lines are drawn.
watching this guy & Watching all of your other vlogs. This dude by far gave the most in depth and vivid picture of his community. dude needs a damn TV Show.
