@@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
Don’t get it twisted tho this dude can be ruthless he just decides to move with respect because in the hood the slightest thing gets you got and clearly he’s gon through his journey and seen no value in senseless violence , this guys a known rapper from the hoo
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 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.
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 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.
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 🇺🇸

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!
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.
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..

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♥️💪🏾👊🏾
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..

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.

@@factslife679 yes Virginia. & the weather is pretty hot here as well Lol. I’m thinking about going there maybe for my bday which is the winter time but I’m still hesitant…because I know y’all winter is waaaay DIFFERENT from the rest 😅
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
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"
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 🙏🏽
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 🤣🤣💯💯
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
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.
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!
That is a wonderful young man. Enjoyed watching this video and I hope he finds happiness in his future and it looks like he has made the best of what he has been given.
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!!!!
Man I'm glad I found these videos. Lived on the east side. 126th and lex...just a few blocks up. Live in another state now but nyc is home base...miss this energy...
Much love for the realest video, who actually can talk without cussing every 7 seconds.. great video for those who really don’t know about the PJS !! Great job young man 😊
You're real Bro,!! Its great to see another brother make it from a hard tough life to a successful Latino man. Much respect to you. Keep the strength and faith. God Bless.

This dude is so well spoken, street educated. Knows his hood history, which is really important. I live in a crap looking hood, but when you get told who from here, your eyes will be blown open. I like architecture, live on the west coast, love little stories about little spots if you didnt know . Stay up bro. Definitely changed my my outlook on real New York. We just get the water downed jokers
I work in East Harlem right now, over by 100th and 1st. Shoutout to the whole community, yah always hold it down for me even though I’m a Queens kid ✊🏽

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!
Solid dude no wanna be gangsta just straight up real 💯
🤡 Clown saids YO,YO,YO.
Johnson houses. Where Hector Camacho grew up and lived even when he was a world champ. Talk about keeping it 💯

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.
The NYC videos are always the best ones
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.
@Ray Sun G lyin ass nigga. Go troll somewhere else
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..

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.
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♥️💪🏾👊🏾
This dude needs mad love. Much respect to him and his
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 go as far to say trashy but they sure aren’t too keen on black folk. At least not a lot of them.
@Ray Sun G alot of blacks are anti black so other people definitely don't give a fuck. And I'm black. We have to fix our own problems
@Ray Sun G wouldn't you be if you had to live with them 😂

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!
I’m from San Diego, CA and never been to New York. These type of tours are beyond interesting. Thank you!
Amazing storytellers. I went through a wave of emotions and could see everything he described. I’m blown away.

Shout out to the afro latino brother for teaching history of the East. 💯✅
Much respect. I love to see how proud and knowledgeable he is on his neighborhood. That's dope!
Harlem born and raised. This brought back memories. Good video and good storytelling. He took it back.
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
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"
@@meleneb How are the projects in Chelsea on 26 street?
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
This young man is articulate and did an amazing job sharing his hood with the world...big ups!
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
His family raised him right. Love his energy and positivity!!
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.
Keep going man. New York is the place we want to see. Salute from Russia, Siberia.
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!
That is a wonderful young man. Enjoyed watching this video and I hope he finds happiness in his future and it looks like he has made the best of what he has been given.
Homie represented his Hood well. I' gotta visit NY someday
I was thinking the same thing family

I love seeing people, all people, live. From Cali to NY. Hope everyone is blessed and enjoying life while avoiding taking one.
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

Man I'm glad I found these videos. Lived on the east side. 126th and lex...just a few blocks up. Live in another state now but nyc is home base...miss this energy...
Beautifully said. He spoke about his hood with pride. Very well detailed. My dude UFO. Respect.
Watching your vlogs on New York has given me a whole different look at the projects. Great community, smart people, and united.
I love this channel. So real. I love being educated by the people in these places on life in their areas. Cheers for the work put into these videos
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.
