Oh my God, Ace, it's safia . People came today at the Villaige just to try the chicken and chips I'm sending you so much love I'm really grateful see you soon
I live in Birmingham and drove a bus through handsworth , Lozells to Pery barr for years, past the villa golden lions! 25 yrs! Never had a problem, I smiled at my customers, let them off a couple of pence if they were short! Loved the people, they are warm friendly people. My home town, love it, the food is amazing love it! Ps I’m white and a lady. People told me I’m pretty, old now though, good days in multi cultural society, love them all❤
I'm a wagon driver in Brum. Go to sites in quite a few of the rougher areas and never had an issue. People are generally friendly and those that aren't tend to leave you alone if you mind your own business.
Your tour guides are humble and good people. The guy who teaches boxing and is a mentor to disadvantaged children is a hero and deserves recognition and award. The two ladies who told you about food places are angels, I hope there life takes a better turn. ❤ thanks for sharing the video
Soho Road was once controlled by Afro-Caribbean people (Mainly Jamaicans - due to greed and lack of foresight they sold out all the shops to the Asians).
❤ to the two ladies that was helping you find a food place that look like they’re using drugs and God bless each and everyone of them over suffering. This is a global issue. Safe travels.
Having worked in Brum city center I used to have to wade through these sweet innocent English rose types, you'd get asked for money about 63 times a day.
These areas of Brum were never maintained properly by the council together with people thinking the area is Indian and it is okay to throw rubbish on the street.
They will collect money from even the most derelict building in those areas because all they care about is money. Are we getting value for that money ( council tax )?. Let the cleanliness of those areas answer that question.
in my country we even called "the strongest ethnic/race in the world is Mother" hahaha. of course we say that with love. and the fact, even the police said the same hahahaaha
I never even scene crack growing up in London, Birmingham is like the crack epidemic in America in the 80's. They should have took him to Handsworth library where people hang out and sleep.
@@writingpad7142 u right u right ive been everywhere manny london notts, brum by far got the most addicts. And theyre not street zombies like buj addicts
Look at the common denominator. In these areas, the issues stem from certain parts of brum I went once over a decade ago, and that was enough for me to never return, unfortunately.
'just keep it moving and stay on your p's and q's' or you can just stay in your privileged gated communities if you don't want to see the inequality caused by capitalism!...gawd I've gotta stay off these comment sections.
Wow I Left Birmingham in 1993 and moved to NY best thing ever for me. Handsworth has changed much Soho road no more Flights Bus company on the top of Soho road. I think the should have shown town as it has changed significantly. Great content ACE!!!!!
Ace, I like this type of content. As a heterosexual African American man I like the idea of you going into the communities and talking with the brothers and sisters. I like hearing their stories. Their voices are seldom heard. It is not fancy like the south of France where you experienced the racial b.s. at that cafe. The people in this Birmingham community are more welcoming even though they are not wealthy. Money doesn't equal respect. The people in this Birmingham community although poor are more respectful than the people are in the south of France.
@mikejames6664 Thank you! I wonder the same, I'm from the areas in this video, a black man too and a find it ridiculous to bring up one's sexuality considering the video! I think I know why he brought up his sexuality, I've seen this from other Americans unfortunately but I don't wish to cause drama/an argument in the comment section.
Why does me saying I am heterosexual sexual bother you. When these lgbt people announce they are homo-sexuals that doesn't bother you but me saying I am heterosexual bothers you. I find this very interesting. The lgbt crowd are the ones that are really intolerant. I am a heterosexual African American man and I will continue to say it whenever I feel like it.
Just watching this episode, big up Ace, still making me laugh, thanks for showing UK raw and real, it's not all roses like most places around the world but Torquay is a holiday beautiful town which I hope you can visit at the coast. Big up to the Birmingham home boys doing your thing with swagger 😂😂❤❤❤❤🇯🇲🇬🇧🌍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
The 2 junkie girls would be buzzing with a £10 i live in Erdington Birmingham uk I see all sorts going on the junkie girls would normally pretend to cry and go up to old people but I love Birmingham this is were I was born and raised can be tough at times but most people friendly
If u don't look for trouble in the big 7 8 cities in England ur fine.locals all ways say media make out we live in cape town or Rio it's terrible.it's not at all.

Hansworth is where Steel Pulse came from and sung about the Handsworth Riots (in the late 70’s early 80’s)…..the classic reggae song 🎵 was Handsworth Revolution …… Big Up The Handsworth Massive 😅
know the area really well,i grew up in newtown B19, 70s 80s, it was good place to grow up bk then,,changed a lot now,,,great podcast ace,,stay safe mate,
Its too bad that you only featured Handsworth Birmingham is much bigger than that I left there many years ago, don't remember seeing so much rubbish on the street last time I was in Handsworth. I'm from Small Heath-Bordesley Green area I kind of hopped you would have ventured out there
@rogerdoger3347 most definitely! I went once to buy a car there, never wanted to go back again. People out there live as it was 2006, they’re so much way behind london and Manchester. I’ve visited Manchester on a number of occasions and it’s far better than Brum by miles.
Hi Ace, I don't see your usual smile and good vibes in this video. Was the vibe that negative in these places? Did you feel safe in those neighborhoods?
It is the same al over the world, go to Milam or Naples in Italy and it is like that and most of the rubbish is dropped from Cars waiting in Traffic Jams whose owners re bloody lasy and do not live in Birmingham
Love this bro if you would like to visit Coventry, its not far from Birmingham. You are a nice guy and love the vlogs and genuines vibes bro, keep up the great work man!
I enjoyed watching this 2 part vid The only thing that gets me is when Jamaican people keep saying Jamaica community and Asian etc When they mention wind rush and make it be like Jamaica again it’s not right Statistically there are many Caribbean Islands in Birmingham that are doing great things stop it do better Caribbean communities is everywhere
Why the streets so filthy ?. Hockley/ Handsworth was never like that when we use to go there early 80’s. The council has definitely deserted these areas but I bet they still collect council tax and eager to put a parking ticket on your car. Good video that actually highlights how certain parts of Birmingham have not changed for the better.
Sad state of affairs, isn't it. I often see people just unwrap food etc & drop the litter/wrappimgson the pavement. They see dirt on the streets & think one more will not make a difference, but it does. Don't litter.
Because the local people dont care for where they live.... Folks don't travel to a neighbourhood' to litter ..... It's the locals contributions " nothing to do with BCC not cleaning. How about you reap what you sow 😮.
I used to live in Birmingham about 20 years ago, it's always been rough but being from Manchester it's no shock to me. The place was always full of bag heads , what I called smack addicts back then, doesn't look like much has changed.
@zaynemal5413 I'd say it was way more segregated decades ago, Birmingham changed a lot I'm in my 40s so I remember how it was in the 80s and 90s...more gentrified areas now that used to be racist no-go areas back in the 80s
As a Canadian living in Birmingham for a year and leaving soon, it was a shock to me seeing so many run down buildings. Before I came I had high expectations, 🤣 I was really shocked! Don’t get me started on the areas in this city where it’s so neglected, like wth! I grew up in a working class area and it was never neglected the way many places are in the UK.
Welcome to Golden Birmingham Mr ACE the wholesale portal city of England. The village is interesting, must visit and taste these scrumptious cuisines. Enjoy yourselves team. Lovely weather in Birmingham.
Why do you all like to exaggerate and paint everywhere as ‘dangerous’ just because they have a small percentage of black people? You are just perpetuating the stereotype that if there are black people then it must be dangerous. That is not always the case. Contrary to popular belief many black people live in very nice houses in very nice neighbourhoods, but it doesn’t mean they are ‘dangerous’!
Right, and just because Birmingham council went bankrupt it does not mean all people in Birmingham are poor. Detroit, Michigan filed bankruptcy in 2013 I believe but that does not mean everyone in Detroit is poor.
Small percentage, Brum has a substantial black population. It's always been a mix of black, carribean. I'm not sure about the percentage, but it's how I've known it.
@getbusydrizzy5296 Trust when I say tings get down, you just dont see it like you have to spend time here for a little for ya to see it. Birmingham mad but we love it 😁👍🏾
My uncles were par of the Windrush era that went to Handsworth then my father followed after in the 60s,Birmingham use to be great when the Bull ring was around aint been there for about 22 years,Bless up Ace
Use to live there back in the day good memories but good things come to a end I couldn't live round them again its too toxic same really you new there you stood back in the day say no more
@@ajbrown218villa I live just outside, I'm in Aldridge. I lived in other areas of the UK. It's bad, some areas are good but overall it's not a nice place Birmingham unfortunately.
Ace my auntie from the handseorth area by the park an interesting fact there was or is still a pot shop on the high street who uase to buy the pot from the so called royal house holds and they are copper outside and metal.inside but on thd side of the pan you would see the hold where the royal crest had been removed
They are showing to much of the negative side show Ace the young brother who turned a 4000k property into 12 million and is doing big things in Birmingham
Yeah it’s true I totally agree don’t just show the negativity. birmingham has some nice places the same as London. Why not show him the main shopping centre the bullring, Stratford upon Avon, botanical gardens, brindley place. I’m originally from London and got offered a place in Birmingham so lived in Birmingham for a while now which I never imagined living in Birmingham but the part of Birmingham where I live I find to be quiet and nice, I’ve had to adapt. The places where there going however I wouldn’t want to live there. as much as I miss London very much as it will always and forever be my home London however is very expensive and a lot of people want to move out of London now or just out of England overall. But I’m grateful I have a roof over my head and my health.
@@babyjellies1Stratford Upon Avon is a town in Warwickshire, 40 miles away from Birmingham....what the hell are you talking about? Unless you meant Stratford Road ?
Brother Ace in tuning in from Jacksonville, FL., and this is my first introduction to your channel. I enjoyed the museum video with the young law student and her camera shy mother. When you tried the Cameroonian sisters food your description drew a laugh amd a question mark simultaneously because I've never heard someone describe the taste of chicken to anything from McDonald's or Burger King. You said it wasn't meant to be negative and i didn't take it that way yet, why couldn't you articulate a more descriptive explanation of what ot tasted like. No disrespect yet, I dont think you did her justice.
Dude, you handed over £10 to feed their addiction. They asked for £1 to get "some food"... what food can you realistically get for £1 that's going to be enough to feed them? They collect those £ coins to build up their funds to buy their fix.
Manchester is much nicer than Birmingham. Manchester looks clean, and a lot of skyscrapers in the City Centre (downtown) developed (and constantly in development). Birmingham looks like it’s being neglected.
Look at the city centre in brum pisses all over manny you obviously haven't seen the city centre then I've seen both and brum is much bigger modern cleaner and better all round for sure facts
@@Benjo810 I agree Birmingham city centre wins against Manchester in terms of historic architecture. No contest. It looks more prestigious. Manchester, however, looks more modern and is developing a nice skyline.
Back in the day this area was West Indian and Irish ,later Indians came in big numbers .It’s always been tough but still friendly .In recent years others have come in and aren’t friendly ,now Smack has taken hold and it’s declined rapidly .UTV
@@EricBlair-jg2ux If it's tribalism then why are the gangs have more than one racial ethnicity. I know because I googled the gangs from Lozelle and Handsworth a while ago and it's a mix of Black British and South Asian British gang members in two of those gangs that was feuding back then. Don't know if that's changed but you can see all their mugshots.

Thank you @cleo63100
It’s the Donny showing him around you can tell he’s reusing other ppls comments on brum to make it seem more dangerous
I was born in Handsworth went to Rokery road school only white kid in the place. Good memories Handsworth always feels like home
Thanks Ace This Information Good To Know Wow! So This Is London Now This Information I Love ❤️
This is Birmingham not London.

100% - As someone from the U.K. and having been to American hoods there is no comparison…..
I mean look at cali
Compton doesn't LOOK dangerous

@@EdieMcHugh i gathered that from this video alone,stay blessed always
You should show some of the partying at night though.
Let's go ACE be careful
Use to live there back in the day good memories but good things come to a end I couldn't live round them again its too toxic same really you new there you stood back in the day say no more
As a birmingham resident this vid made me laugh 😂😂😂😂
Good Birmingham, England Video! Come to Brazil 👊
The new ace stays fresh! We likey
You should have had a balti at Shababs, Ladypool Rd, Sparkbrook; that's Birmingham/Pakistani cuisine. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ace good content as usual 🎉🎉 lets go🎉🎉
My hometown 0121 brilliant video glad you enjoyed Birmingham showed me places i haven't been too aha
That area like most in the 60s were very select and well kept, all the respect has long gone.
I will be visiting next time I drive past, never noticed the village shop before. will be trying the prawns 😋
Loved this video
Good honest hardworking lady, im glad you stoped off for a quick bit of food. I might even go there myself because im sure that jollofs fire.
Birmingham has so much potential its a shame is such a terrible place to live.
It’s not that bad Jesus Christ lol go down south brum and it’s better than round here
@@ajbrown218villa I live just outside, I'm in Aldridge. I lived in other areas of the UK. It's bad, some areas are good but overall it's not a nice place Birmingham unfortunately.
@danp420 there's ghettos in every city, plenty of nice places in birmingham Aldridge is a sh** hole lol so you can't really talk
I need to check out the chicken in that Birmingham shop, the way Ace destroyed that chicken you can tell its really good.
Ace my auntie from the handseorth area by the park an interesting fact there was or is still a pot shop on the high street who uase to buy the pot from the so called royal house holds and they are copper outside and metal.inside but on thd side of the pan you would see the hold where the royal crest had been removed
I live in Sandwell Valley and it’s lovely here. I’ll need to check out ne village the food looks lush 🤤
29:32 a lovely pair of innocent English roses scrounging money for 'extra curricular activities'. I see Birmingham hasn't changed much.
@@EricBlair-jg2ux wonder who supplies them 🤔
Them coconut rings and a cup of tea will change your life bro😂😂
great upload very interesting
They are showing to much of the negative side show Ace the young brother who turned a 4000k property into 12 million and is doing big things in Birmingham
Da real side
Yeah it’s true I totally agree don’t just show the negativity. birmingham has some nice places the same as London. Why not show him the main shopping centre the bullring, Stratford upon Avon, botanical gardens, brindley place. I’m originally from London and got offered a place in Birmingham so lived in Birmingham for a while now which I never imagined living in Birmingham but the part of Birmingham where I live I find to be quiet and nice, I’ve had to adapt. The places where there going however I wouldn’t want to live there. as much as I miss London very much as it will always and forever be my home London however is very expensive and a lot of people want to move out of London now or just out of England overall. But I’m grateful I have a roof over my head and my health.
@@babyjellies1Stratford Upon Avon is a town in Warwickshire, 40 miles away from Birmingham....what the hell are you talking about? Unless you meant Stratford Road ?
Love this video keep them coming ❤
Yes big up blackman the traveller. I'm a big fan of him and if your videos are like his I will be following you too.
Sofia at the Villaige Breakfast is a lovely lady and a local legend, her food is delicious❤ I tried it on Just Eat🎉
Brother Ace in tuning in from Jacksonville, FL., and this is my first introduction to your channel. I enjoyed the museum video with the young law student and her camera shy mother.
When you tried the Cameroonian sisters food your description drew a laugh amd a question mark simultaneously because I've never heard someone describe the taste of chicken to anything from McDonald's or Burger King. You said it wasn't meant to be negative and i didn't take it that way yet, why couldn't you articulate a more descriptive explanation of what ot tasted like. No disrespect yet, I dont think you did her justice.
That Kirsty always appears in different peoples videos about Handsworth/Birmingham lol!
200K each for those run down houses in a run down area? No thanks :/
Dude, you handed over £10 to feed their addiction. They asked for £1 to get "some food"... what food can you realistically get for £1 that's going to be enough to feed them? They collect those £ coins to build up their funds to buy their fix.
Manchester is much nicer than Birmingham. Manchester looks clean, and a lot of skyscrapers in the City Centre (downtown) developed (and constantly in development). Birmingham looks like it’s being neglected.
Look at the city centre in brum pisses all over manny you obviously haven't seen the city centre then I've seen both and brum is much bigger modern cleaner and better all round for sure facts
Birmingham is corrupt and bankrupt
@@Benjo810 I agree Birmingham city centre wins against Manchester in terms of historic architecture. No contest. It looks more prestigious. Manchester, however, looks more modern and is developing a nice skyline.
@@ThomasField-t8i the skyline is different level in brum you clearly havet seen
This ain't the city centre.
Back in the day this area was West Indian and Irish ,later Indians came in big numbers .It’s always been tough but still friendly .In recent years others have come in and aren’t friendly ,now Smack has taken hold and it’s declined rapidly .UTV
@marthasheilds2446 Nonsense, it's not racism, it's simple tribalism and it's in all the multi cultural areas of Brum too.
@marthasheilds2446 I don’t witness that in my everyday life .
@marthasheilds2446 sorry but you're talking BS
@marthasheilds2446 I think you’ve got an agenda ,I live in Erdington and it’s totally mixed .Alum Rock is full of racists though .
@@EricBlair-jg2ux If it's tribalism then why are the gangs have more than one racial ethnicity. I know because I googled the gangs from Lozelle and Handsworth a while ago and it's a mix of Black British and South Asian British gang members in two of those gangs that was feuding back then. Don't know if that's changed but you can see all their mugshots.
Ha ha. Why we going to the NO Go Zone? Classic.
The streets is DIRTY and the camera man almost get jump sad😢😢😢
