- *Warren Gardens Hood Vlog*
Join me as I walk through Warren Gardens with @reese7v, who shares his experiences growing up in the neighborhood and his favorite memories. We dive into the Boston rap scene, discussing the misconception that drill is the only way to make music and addressing the belief among Boston people that they haven't taken any influence from New York.
Make sure to watch our newest Hood vlog out / @kodakblowup #kodakkulture

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
Compared to what the Bronx or what Brooklyn use to be ?
You should know first hand especially movin to nyc Boston is nothing
@@keysersoze1537boston rn is more dangerous than Bronx and Brooklyn I look it up all the time
@@ogjamaiican756 🤦🏻♂️ trying to compare Boston to the Bronx or Brooklyn is cap🤣 plus I’m definitely not proud in anyway or glorifying either it’s just hard to believe Boston can compare to even queens , maybe 80s Boston but not today
@@keysersoze1537you should know better it ain’t where you’re from it’s where you’re at. I been around plenty Ny cats who got ran out of “Boston “. Only green eyes from the Bronx had ninjas shook out here.
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!!!
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
That’s facts !
But that's years of development! Boston was a whole different city 15 years ago.
Bro Boston look like shit
@@Therainchannellive better than ya city 😂

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

What part??
Exactly you gotta be raised in boston from the 80s ,90s early 2000s to really know the History

@@phamilyrych843 shit I moved to the south too. I’m in NC now. I was right off Washington too. Bradlee st lol
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 .
Mission hill or mattapan i thought had the most bodies idk being a townie i know the areas pretty well dot is up there
Yeah my mans from there he moved to St. Louis and says Boston is sweet compared to them 12 yr old w Draco’s walking down the street u can walk into corner stores w a blick out jugg every corner and no where safe
@@conveybtw3629 St Louis is one of the worse city’s in America. But Boston ain’t sweet .. It ain’t where you from , it’s where you at . Disrespect the wrong person you gonna get what you looking for .
@@PappiPlantP that’s a fact
BIG FACTS
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
I fw Boston shout out Boston 🔥💯
I be telling ppl shit ain’t sweet in the bean u Deff can get your noodles cooked it’s like any where else
You know Boston safe when the example for “dangerous” hood is Warren gardens🤣🤣🤣😂
Definitely not safe
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 💪💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ok Boston !! stand the fuc up !! WE MAKE CHAMPIONSHIPS 🏆💯 #prayformycity💪🏾 iykyk 😎
Not like the Yankees 😂
@@keysersoze1537 what about the other sports????? lol
@@kellydeangelo2226 definitely Boston can’t lie nor deny
& Boston artists never get love from the city because every one got beef with everyone.
They ass let’s be real
That's in every hood
Yep idiots fighting over colors or cause of what street or block or housing project they're from when they don't own it. They keep repeating the cycle and feeding into the stereotypes and can't get along with each other cause of there mentality and it's like they're cursed what the Bible says cause blacks, latinos, and natives are God's chosen ppl but we don't act like it.
Free g fredo
Free the whole hsm
R.I.P Tyrus Sanders 👍🏿 he was a kool ngga at 16-17
It would be cool too do a video in either Fall River or New Bedford both have alot of history and hoods, it would just be cool to do somewhere aside from the General Boston area, Dorchester, roxbury, mattapan etc , everyone knows in MA that those are really the main hoods, but no one really knows about Brockton, Taunton, Fall River, New bedford etc... Nice video though bro just subscribed definitely gonna tune in too more videos 💯
My old stomping ground in the 90s Roxbury baby!
@@down4paws I heard the 90’s were hardcore in Boston
Damn, Warren Gardens was a huge part of my childhood. Respect on the video.
Back in in the day, charlame had beef with Humboldt. Parts of Charlame was right down the street from Warren Gardens.
I want the Bean to win fr 💯
fwlt that its our time nfs
Yea but how if the music isn't good ....all they wanna do is make drill rap. So yea we win in sports for sure.....go celtics
Rigged azz sports 😹😹😹😹
Boston been having motion 👌🏽
As a black woman from Dorchester. Boston has great rappers and entrepreneurs.
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.
Come to Fairmount , Hyde park
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.❤
I'm from the rough and mean streets of Wellesley MA. THE REAL HOOD OF BOSTON! No playing.
@@intertubicular we goin tune in soon to Wellesley 💪🏾
@@kodakblowup I was joking if you didn't know already. Wellesley is a rich college suburb town of Boston. I'm actually from the rough and mean streets of Worcester MA. Great place to do a video if you'd like a tour?

From the streets.. The Well!
@@mickfergusonusa😂😂😂
Represent yall hood Boston gang life for ever
lmaooo
Boston is one of the safest cities, Boston's crime rate compared to west coast cities and southern cities is no comparison
@@benjamin9056rI agree last time I checked Boston wasn't in the top 25 for most dangerous cities in America or most murders
😂😂😂😂 just stop it.
We always in some city trying to make our neighborhoods seem rough and ghetto. We're such an embarrassment here in America.
Nigga it rlly get dangerous jus cuz uu knocked down houses and replaced em ain’t gon replace the life’s that was lost
When did they make it rough bro they spoke the real about our city they never said they out here killings niggas and we out here destroying the town na we just sayin stop thinkin it’s sweet in Boston cause the TV’s show that it’s not we get down over here too but like they said we trynna stop beef and get money listen next time
Nobody trys to make their neighborhood ghetto, dumbest shit I ever herd. You ether live in a sketchy area or you don't.
I think it's embarrassing too, but unfortunately, everything they're saying is true. This part of boston was especially rough from the 80s through 2000s. The movie "in too deep" with ll cool j, is a true story from boston. But they hanged the location to Cincinnati in the movie for some reason.
Fr, Massachusetts, the safest state in America and Boston is one of the safest cities.
Everywhere in Boston is crazy especially Lynn and Lowell
Them are not Boston tho
@@carleontafari still around the are
Area
@@Downeast1994 they are not Boston
No where near Boston bro. They should've did Franklin hill/park or heath street. Mission hill got cleaned up but it's still bad, I live on the border of dot/Roxbury and barely hear shit about Warren gardens.
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.
@mindfulicious no problem thank you taking the time to watch my video!
These are young kids. The most dangerous place is Bromley Heath st Projects right now. Them dudes and Mission Hill are lighting each other up and catching rico charges left and right. But even that is nothing compared to the 80s and 90s. Even early mid 2000s was still a little wild.
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 💯
🫡🫡🫡 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
its not hated lmao nobody gaf bout boston n wtf they supposedly got going on.
@user-pq9yi4nr3d I hate to give you the bad news but that goes for where you're from, too. Everywhere. Nobody in Boston, or Cleveland, or Kentucky is sitting around goes "Yo what's going on in Los Angeles or Peioria, Illinois right now????"
@@slatwick07it is hated😂
yeah im from Boston, NOTHING GOING ON HERE.@user-pq9yi4nr3d
Nah, I'm from Boston to, it's because the music is copying everywhere else's and everyone beefs.
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 😂
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
Murders is low not crime lol but I met few ppl from Philly they more comfortable here 🤷🏿♂️ and they be street nggas but clique wit Boston easily . Philly nggas here be cool. Y'all needs get out Philly lol
If you live in boston and never rep a side street or projects you'll be fine.
Yea but but rent is 3* higher than the country's average
Word definitely on Point that was the good old 90's
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 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
@@susieadams3305 that is 100 percent true !
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.
All black people in Boston are innocent and amazing. I love my Bostonians!
😂😂😂😂
I'm from mass n I don't think y'all saw Lawrence yet
same and what abt springfield
Lowell too
The Boys and Girls club is literally a 1 min walk from Warren Gardens. There's another Youth Center in Orchard Gardens.
This area is cake walk compare to Dorchester and mattapan! These are little kids
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 remember the whole GI Joe thing too actually
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.
I grew up in Dorchester in 80s and 90s. Was the only white family i know of on Geneva Ave. until we moved to Savin Hill…Went to school in Columbia Point. Fought w kids from Southie cuz i was from Dot and fought with other dot kids cuz i was white. Wether cape verdean, irish, vietnemese, italian, Dorchester was way different in 80s and 90s. All tough kids there.
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 ❤️💯✌🏽
Smart kids, they’re not saying dumbshit
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..
Damn I also forgot St.Joseph or St.Joe the somalians be over there mostly too idk about now tho lol
It good to hear this from other residents of Boston ! Thank you for sharing that !
Grew up on the Dabney side of WG when I would go visit my pops who still lives there. That side has a lot of motion and the infamous stairs where niggas would chill smoke drink shit talk and most of all ball on the Basketball hoop over there. I think yall should pay that side a visit and they also have an artist who is doing well by the name of Swizz cool with Reese too dope to see this though
My city is making motion.. Boston stand tf up
Big minds make big bandz illuminate time
🏆Boston City Of Champions 🏆
Always 30 deep plus 50 close by facts the ville mystic PJ's back in the 90's it was always lit
I'm from Worcester, and I've never heard "Yin". I've heard "Yinz" from Pittsburgh, though.
nobody scared of warren gardens lmao
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
@@benjamin9056r that would a great idea I never traveled to the west before
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.
Am from Guyana living in dorchestre homes ave since 1980
Warren gardens definitely top 3 hoods in Roxbury finally getting the recognition it deserves
Recognition for what?
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.."
💀
They can cross the street and go to Little Scobie park if they want to play basketball 😂
free twin 🖤

Seems like a nice neighborhood
It is. peep the rent prices and you'll see how nice it is. Boston has no real ghettos.

He said GUY-Rows (gyros)😂😂
from sincity to the bean all love MURDAHMASS!!
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.
@@mattymatt6970 thank you for that feed back ! I will try and connect with people from other parts of the New England next time I come by . So many places I need to check out !
@@kodakblowup those cities are further broken down by ethnicity typically. Lawrence is almost exclusively dominican and puerto rican. It's over 80% Latino. Brockton is majority black, mostly cape verdeans and then haitians. Springfield and holyoke are puerto rican. You'll see. The area is kinda self segregated. The hood in boston is cool. They have their own slang and a lot of history, including malcolm x living in roxbury for a long time, which is shown in the beginning portion of rhe malcolm x movie when he was a criminal. But there's a lot to check out elsewhere too. It's too bad there's so much hatred in the area. I think it's cause the region never got its shine, and the rest of the country doesn't take it seriously because of it. I'm not from the hood. I'm just from the area and have traveled the area and the rest of the country a lot. I'm very knowledgeable on cultural specifics to regions. I could name way more places for you. But I really wanted to give you the main cliff notes. I appreciate you visiting and filming.
@@mattymatt6970 yessir thank you for that information again it’s good to know that . I’m going make some moves outta Boston next trip and see what you were telling me . Lawerence doesn’t sound like a bad idea or Rhoad Island
@@kodakblowup word. Good shit
@@kodakblowup last message on this. Hartford is probably the most hood spot in new england to be real. I'm from mass myself. Hartford consistently makes it very high on the most dangerous as well as poorest cities lists in america every year. I'm always much more interested in unique cultures to areas tho. Lawrence and brockton are really good spots for unique hood cultures. I think lawrence is the right choice for the next place to visit. You won't be disappointed.
This hood looks clean and peaceful but that don't mean is not dangerous.. Philly looks crazy and dangerous
I feel the city of Philly could care less about the nasty looking hoods.. plus the drugs and the junkies been took over in like the 80s.. Boston does have Methadone Mile AKA Mass ave, it's a whole strip in the middle of Boston that are filled with tents and junkies. Like how LA has Skid Row.
On dead dawgs the gardens is sweet asf
@@LuisArias-lg4kf "damn bull so that sh!t that sweet🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It isn’t dangerous tho. How it looks is how it is. You literally hear kids playing in the background. These adult men are lying.
@@Heyyoulady 😂😂😂so they 🧢
That shit look clean as hell that’s the P’s ?
I’m from here u gon here ya gunshots every summer but it ain’t that bad
That's the projects, but there's also a lot of standard east coast brick projects too, similar to philly and nyc projects, like mission hill, Franklin field, heath street, and a bunch more, but those are a few examples.
It look clean and good bc it is good and clean.
@@mattymatt6970lies
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!!!
whats the craziest thing you seen out here?
boston- fire crackers and houses on fire 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bc them grown ass men are lying and didn’t experience shit.
Cuz they can’t speak on violence they aint tryn get booked
@@Beeninsidious😹😹😹😹😹
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.
That's funny. As someone from 10 minutes north of where this is, Roxbury, Dorchester and all those areas are filthy pits. What you're saying is true about California and Florida, not Boston which is in the northeast where EVERYTHING is old and shitty looking lmao
You buggin you just don’t know this area is crazy
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.
love my city

@@Djohnson89 let’s get it !
On your thumbnail it's says "most dangerous hood in boston" What hood is that bro?
My family is from Warren Gardens.
My uncle from there those dudes be on straight timing over there don’t go over there if you aren’t from there #GSIDE
My old projects!! 3 Circuit Ave
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

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

That’s because Boston is one of the whitest cities in the country therefore less crime, lower murder rates. Those other cities welll you know
