That lady at 12:50 is so sweet and genuinely cares about them. People like that are really what makes a good community and good people, she talked about them like she believes in them 1000%
From Des Moines myself and I’ve never heard of any of these gangs. Yo shoutout Tommy though for putting us on. This is super sick to see things on this video that I see everyday
25 years born and raised in Iowa. Des Moines has 0 dangerous hoods. You can walk/bike around with with no worries. The “thugs” in Des Moines are just posers that want to be like those from ATL, Cali, etc.. Des Moines “gangsters” have zero history since they only started acting “hood” at the age of 20+. I wrestled against a really wholesome dude from East High that just now started flashing guns on Snapchat claiming a hood after he got his permit to carry. I helped him get that permit is the hilarious part.
Man the late 80s early 90s was nuts here, when they Killed Jody Stokes shit went left, I can name real bloods from LA and the Lou, real TVLs from the Chi and Crips who was already established here who started changing the culture at that time. Not to mention Oakridge, one way in and two ways out if you know what I mean. I’m happy that shit calmed down in the early 2000s but this last 5 years or so been no joke with all these young kids 13 to 17 doing home invasions shooting each other up even on school grounds. Still think the 515 a lot better off than most hoods in the Midwest but to say we don’t have shooters here that wouldn’t shoot you or me in a heartbeat for some clout is just naïve💯💯
Not taking the things that happen in this city seriously just because it's in Iowa is exactly how the problem will escalate, and then everyone will try and bring awareness when it's already too late. That's what happened to the Chicago Outfit. Everyone took those guys as a joke and they ended up being the most prolific gangster organization to ever exist.
IM FROM IOWA ITS LITERALLY NOTHING LIKE THIS. 😂 they aren’t on shit. I know half of these kids. C-block doesn’t even exist anymore. None of them do. And balla the “rapper” is wack in Iowa literally NO ONE KNOWS HIM.

For real. The “hood” is literally one square mile and still isn’t dangerous to walk through. You’re MUCH more likely to get into trouble downtown at the clubs than walking through the “hoods” in DSM at 2am.
As someone who doesn’t live in Des Moines and is near Pella and Grinnell, there are 100% places that I won’t walk in Des Moines and you’re crazy if you think otherwise, every big city has bad areas
theyre 19-mid 20s so different experience overall growing up cus different times also different influences. Kids don't decide to be like this on their own, guy literally talked about his pimp dad and stripper mom. We need to improve our countries infrastructure so shit like this stops happening so often
@@Ian-tp6muyou leaving out the part where. A lot of these kids made a choice to live like. They all make it seem like they had no choice and had to live this life of crime lol

Yeah this shit here's a joke. I lived in the bluff on lowery blvd in atlanta for years. I lold when bro pulled up to a derelict fuckin apartment complex worried about getting smoked in a drive by. These dudes look like they work factory jobs employed by temp agencies. That old crack head straight chumped the whole squad. The fuck is that? Bust that dudes shit. "Gangbangers"... ok lol.
“ it’s like CRABS IN A BARREL ” that was a great analogy, if you ever seen 20 or 30 “crabs” in a bucket or barrel, they’re all trying to hold each other down with their claws, grabbing at the first thing they can
I kinda enjoy these obsucre hoods nobody has heard of more than the vids abt detroit, chicago, st louis, etc. Those have so much coverage already, so its interesting to c places like this u never even thought abt.
I live in Iowa and have for about two years now (in Des Moines for one of them). I DoorDash regularly and even did that full time for a bit in Des Moines. To be completely honest, I feel less safe in most of the Waterloo neighborhoods (where I live now) than I did in any neighborhood in Des Moines. In DSM, you can pretty much be unbothered when walking through neighborhoods and such if you just mind your own business and don't engage. But in ALO, I've had a few suspicious and pretty frightening incidents between just being stared at by everybody on the block and getting that sixth sense of "alright it's time to go" or actually having cars with dark tinted windows pull up on me to follow me and then speed off as soon as I get back to my car. I try to avoid those neighborhoods as much as I'm able to when delivering.
Only time I ever got kinda nervous (but never let it show) when I was running cabs in the 2010s was in wloo, especially W 3rd & 4th st. 2 fools I picked up in Cedar Falls wanted to go to the Qwik Star then said they didn't have any money when I stopped, so I was like aight mf then we going right back to where I picked yo ass up. They sat there as I turned around in the parking lot, they were looking at each other all stupid, I was staring back at them in the rear view, then asked WELL, either one of you find yo mfn wallets yet before we go back to CF coz I'm not playin about my money! Pow, suddenly a magic wallet appeared. He handed me a 50 asking if I had change and I said nope and drove off, call it a wait fee bitch! I got to where I didn't mess with wloo after the bars closed. I stayed in CF just taking the college kids home.Tired of the wloo broke ass fools. Shortly after that time of morning the folks who worked at Tyson needed to start being picked up for work, so forget those drunk hoodrats out puking everywhere tryna act like they got some nuts when they don't. I was there to make money, not waste my time or have my last nerve worked.
If your a regular civilian than no nothing will happen to but if your with this street shit its a completely different story and that’s what most these people dont/wont understand honestly if the streets of DSM could talk all the hood stories shootings bloodshed would surprise most of you mfs but then again you civilians wouldn’t understand so i suggest staying in yalls lanes
Holy shit that "I armwrestled a cop... they raided us 2 weeks later" bit could be a killer comedic bit if he ever went that route. Life experiences are the best comedy material
LMMFAO the way the store owner stood by him & looking while he was talkin bout the store HILARIOUS!! Ik he was pissed THE FUCK off. Run tht back dude damn near pissed n wanted to put hands on fam he hadda walk off b4 he started tweakin CTFU 🤣😂🤣😂😂😂😂 mf is not wanted in tht Mf store
Probably was forced to "partner" w/ them and put that lil B's kitchen in there. Having something like that is very valuable to a street gang. As it can function as a means of distrobution, give off the impression of a legitimate income, and ifhey have multiple set up that way it can even work aslow level money laundering situation
Should also add that I just looked at the actual reviews for Chesters chicken at this spot that they consider it’s a decent fucking liquor and the rebiews just call these kids a nuisance.you can look it up yourself Chesters Chicken, Fast Mart, Des Moines
These guys were the most conservative gang members I've ever seen on anything. They were living that life but they knew 100% what was right and wrong and what was the causes for their issues like fatherless homes. Everytime I thought 'here we go with the nonsense' they would back it up with the truth and facts like adults and it just shocked me every time. "Yeah, we're doing this and that but we shouldn't because xyz" crazy
More like one of the most saddest horrible City💀💀💀 Their Police and State got to start being Forreal and i agree with that one Lady at 3:20 that said should just start locking peope left and right because what they're doing is literally illegal. They're not even living a Real Fun ACTUAL Childhood nor Life, No morals No Good role model and not even in the good right Path. Far from those people Who's not violent don't even think violence is cool (Because it isn't) And far from those people actually living an actual "LIFE"
Broski don't let anyone call you a Bish over you leaving. You have a life as do they its just different lifestyle and no need to get caught up in some of that stuff when your not apart of that originally. Stay true homie and don't stress
Yoooo Tommy mf G congratulations!!!!! You're gonna make a great Dad with awesome stories to share with your son. God is blessing you because you are doing his work. And you're not a b*tch for walking away man. You got sweet cheeks and a child to go home to. That's what this country doesn't understand. You don't have to put on a uniform to serve your country. You do it everyday as a good husband, community leader, and soon to be father. Keep spreading the good word bro. The world needs you!!!! 💯
would love to see you do a video on the hoods in rochester mn. the mayo clinic is based in that town and they really suppress alot of the crime happening so that people keep moving there and so mayo dosent lose any business. some crazy shit happening out here dude.
@@dweebbasedworld3868only close minded people think that, everyone no matter the age you can learn something from even people you might not like can teach you something if you listen!
Yea it’s really not that ba do love here in Des Moines it’s just lil parts you don’t go to and that simple now mafcs can definitely just pull up on you when you in the ghetto parks and you can feel werid vibes when you think some shit gon happen
As an Iowan it's the nicest people ever and literally the only "gangs" you'll see is fake ones been to Des Moines multiple times it used to be a lot worse,.but gotten much better.
East side waterloo most definitely, I was building a garage there and I found a used needle on the ground and I know that the actual Mexican cartel go there.
they basically going to do what Dashae does with his 7-8 girls in Miami type shit. love it! it'll be great content id watch that! Love the Videos Tommy!

“ it’s like CRABS IN A BARREL ” that was a great analogy, if you ever seen 20 or 30 “crabs” in a bucket or barrel, they’re all trying to hold each other down with their claws, grabbing at the first thing they can
The crabs in a barrel analogy came from The Wire, a show set in Baltimore
go to cedar rapids or waterloo Iowa. This is not a danger zone. Visit waterloo or Cedar rapids and you will see mini chicago
Waterloo motto: "At least we aren't Fort Dodge." 😆😅🤣
For real Cedar Rapids be wild out here. Man hell, I live by a few bad neighborhoods and I hear gunshots sometimes.
I smell weed every day by the apartments that I live by.
Waterloo is scary night and day no lie..
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 stop it I live in Cedar Rapids it’s super safe
I love how your covering everywhere instead of the big cities. As someone from Iowa its nice to see.
protect this man at all costs🙏
Like this hasn’t been said 100 times already
Why? 😅
He’ll be a slave in the kingdom…
Thank you Tommy for showing love to our city 💙
You don't have to justify staying alive my man. Great content.
Lmfao!!!
Looks very nice to me. Not a single tent, no one smoking fentanyl…Iowa might be the spot hahaha
It's interesting how relative 'the hood' is.
oh no there’s most definitely crackheads and fet users galore over here 💀
there’s deffo addicts but the crime is a joke
@@ZoneReplaysStop the cap there was one bum wondering around 💀 Come to north philly and see what a real hood looks like.
@@flacortwAnd? They got addicts wondering around small white towns all around the U.S.
I kinda enjoy these obsucre hoods nobody has heard of more than the vids abt detroit, chicago, st louis, etc. Those have so much coverage already, so its interesting to c places like this u never even thought abt.
I'm from Baltimore so I definitely agree with you
It ain't the hood😂 these kids are just acting fools for internet clout 😂
@punkstermom1984 ig u gotta be a goofy to schedule a interview and talk abt ur criminal exploits on camera 😂
@@AngelRivera-de1lq Iowa can get boring enough that kid like this will make up fake shit just to get attention and clout 😂 happens all over Iowa.
Being a dad is the best thing in the world Tommy!! Enjoy every second of it mate. ❤
Do Waterloo Iowa next Tommy G
Real this city is way more fucked up
hella gang activity
Nah fr😂 I grew up and I remember not that long ago 3 lil kids got shot up for having a lemonade stand. Don’t remember how long ago🤷🏽♂️
Yeah, Waterloo is wayyyyy nastier and way more drugs I would say
That girl in the background of that freestyle got me cracking up lmao
🤣🤣🤣
I live in Iowa and have for about two years now (in Des Moines for one of them). I DoorDash regularly and even did that full time for a bit in Des Moines. To be completely honest, I feel less safe in most of the Waterloo neighborhoods (where I live now) than I did in any neighborhood in Des Moines. In DSM, you can pretty much be unbothered when walking through neighborhoods and such if you just mind your own business and don't engage. But in ALO, I've had a few suspicious and pretty frightening incidents between just being stared at by everybody on the block and getting that sixth sense of "alright it's time to go" or actually having cars with dark tinted windows pull up on me to follow me and then speed off as soon as I get back to my car. I try to avoid those neighborhoods as much as I'm able to when delivering.
@@XayMoe Will do. You as well!
Only time I ever got kinda nervous (but never let it show) when I was running cabs in the 2010s was in wloo, especially W 3rd & 4th st. 2 fools I picked up in Cedar Falls wanted to go to the Qwik Star then said they didn't have any money when I stopped, so I was like aight mf then we going right back to where I picked yo ass up. They sat there as I turned around in the parking lot, they were looking at each other all stupid, I was staring back at them in the rear view, then asked WELL, either one of you find yo mfn wallets yet before we go back to CF coz I'm not playin about my money! Pow, suddenly a magic wallet appeared. He handed me a 50 asking if I had change and I said nope and drove off, call it a wait fee bitch! I got to where I didn't mess with wloo after the bars closed. I stayed in CF just taking the college kids home.Tired of the wloo broke ass fools. Shortly after that time of morning the folks who worked at Tyson needed to start being picked up for work, so forget those drunk hoodrats out puking everywhere tryna act like they got some nuts when they don't. I was there to make money, not waste my time or have my last nerve worked.
PS I wouldn't Door Dash in wloo for anything. They don't tip at all either. Stay safe out there!
Waterloo is the worst city in iowa period.
If your a regular civilian than no nothing will happen to but if your with this street shit its a completely different story and that’s what most these people dont/wont understand honestly if the streets of DSM could talk all the hood stories shootings bloodshed would surprise most of you mfs but then again you civilians wouldn’t understand so i suggest staying in yalls lanes
10:35 the girl has me crying hhahahah
Oooohhhhh
Her voice alone was brutal
for real@@whitestguyuknow
@@7ThrillFishing hit em with a lil ghetto gospel
Should’ve done quad cities.we different down here lol Des Moines for fun and family trips
Good shit man keep up the grind
Holy shit that "I armwrestled a cop... they raided us 2 weeks later" bit could be a killer comedic bit if he ever went that route. Life experiences are the best comedy material
Love the real videos Tommy puts out. Stuff you won’t see anywhere else. Congrats on the baby boy on the way and stay safe buddy
Thanks for showing us!!
“Maybe I am a big bi!ch” 😂😂😂😂😂 bro not wanting to get shot over some stuff that doesn’t involve you doesn’t make you a b!tch
tommy is just certified in every hood
LMMFAO the way the store owner stood by him & looking while he was talkin bout the store HILARIOUS!! Ik he was pissed THE FUCK off. Run tht back dude damn near pissed n wanted to put hands on fam he hadda walk off b4 he started tweakin CTFU 🤣😂🤣😂😂😂😂 mf is not wanted in tht Mf store
Probably was forced to "partner" w/ them and put that lil B's kitchen in there. Having something like that is very valuable to a street gang. As it can function as a means of distrobution, give off the impression of a legitimate income, and ifhey have multiple set up that way it can even work aslow level money laundering situation
That part fr had me laughing out loud the look on his face 😂😂💀
Should also add that I just looked at the actual reviews for Chesters chicken at this spot that they consider it’s a decent fucking liquor and the rebiews just call these kids a nuisance.you can look it up yourself Chesters Chicken, Fast Mart, Des Moines
Ever since hitting the streets your sub skyrocket. I just noticed 1.2 million!! Congrats bro, stay smart and be safe
Local: "Show 'em that sign"
*Shows sign saying Cheatom Park*
Tommy McGee: So where are we right now?
Local: Cheatom Park; This is Cheatom.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂
Congratulations on having a kid on the way! TommyG is going to be a great father!!
"I'm not catching what's going on right now."
LMAO, so honest
These guys were the most conservative gang members I've ever seen on anything. They were living that life but they knew 100% what was right and wrong and what was the causes for their issues like fatherless homes. Everytime I thought 'here we go with the nonsense' they would back it up with the truth and facts like adults and it just shocked me every time. "Yeah, we're doing this and that but we shouldn't because xyz" crazy
It’s in Iowa lol
More like one of the most saddest horrible City💀💀💀 Their Police and State got to start being Forreal and i agree with that one Lady at 3:20 that said should just start locking peope left and right because what they're doing is literally illegal. They're not even living a Real Fun ACTUAL Childhood nor Life, No morals No Good role model and not even in the good right Path. Far from those people Who's not violent don't even think violence is cool (Because it isn't) And far from those people actually living an actual "LIFE"
Broski don't let anyone call you a Bish over you leaving. You have a life as do they its just different lifestyle and no need to get caught up in some of that stuff when your not apart of that originally. Stay true homie and don't stress
Yoooo Tommy mf G congratulations!!!!!
You're gonna make a great Dad with awesome stories to share with your son.
God is blessing you because you are doing his work.
And you're not a b*tch for walking away man. You got sweet cheeks and a child to go home to. That's what this country doesn't understand.
You don't have to put on a uniform to serve your country. You do it everyday as a good husband, community leader, and soon to be father.
Keep spreading the good word bro. The world needs you!!!! 💯
Great video! I love your reporting and filming style, it actually feels like I'm watching a proper news show or a documentary!
Except these kids are acting 😂 it's all 🧢 cap😂
finally i see a recommended video about my home state
And this has to be the one 😂😂😂🤦♀️
Unfortunately it is not the best representation of us
@@JoshuaIsstinky nor is it accurate 😂
9:15 bro the store owners face
He tried to talk about him and he took off lol
😂😂
Thanks for showing love to Iowa! If Tommy G covered it, we made it!
tommy g never fails to disappoint
🤨🤨
Go to Waterloo that’s where I don’t feel safe here in Iowa
would love to see you do a video on the hoods in rochester mn. the mayo clinic is based in that town and they really suppress alot of the crime happening so that people keep moving there and so mayo dosent lose any business. some crazy shit happening out here dude.
he’d be better off covering north minneapolis, mn 😂 tf . . Rochester dont be on a crumb 🥴
Bro fuck Rochester, there's way worse going on in Minneapolis and st Paul, Rochester can wait lol

Love the content Tommy keep it up! Stay Safe!!
He’s safe
He’s definitely safe in Iowa😂
Much love to the gang
Most dangerous city in Iowa is like saying the smartest kid in special ED 😂
This took me out 😂😂😂😂 facts!!!
Yea it’s really not that ba do love here in Des Moines it’s just lil parts you don’t go to and that simple now mafcs can definitely just pull up on you when you in the ghetto parks and you can feel werid vibes when you think some shit gon happen
Great job!
They showed someone getting their face split open by a opp to tommy and Tommy started freaking out and left🤣🤣🤣
Des Moines is by far the nicest big city I've ever been to, very thankful we don't have the problems of Illinois or Minnesota
You funny asl for coming to Iowa😭
Tommy never fails to entertain us
As someone who lives in Des Moines this shit was funny as hell
I was like of course the drake area is the worst 🤣🤣🤣 loved seeing that Chester’s got a promo
Been there. Multiple times. I been laughing out loud.
Lol same 😂
Straight up 😂😂😂
Des Moines is a small city. Everyone in this video is not going to make sadly
As an Iowan it's the nicest people ever and literally the only "gangs" you'll see is fake ones been to Des Moines multiple times it used to be a lot worse,.but gotten much better.
When I hear Iowa I think about WRASSLIN'
Bozo seems like a real dude. I hope he blows up 🎉
Far from it. He is not real at all des moines is one of the most safe big towns ever you. Dont feel unsafe anywhere in des moines
@@carsongoode9838are you okay bro lol
@@michaels_madness hes acting like a ganster even though he is far from it
Yoooo, the adlibs girl threw in went crazy. Fucking dolphin dying.
I’m from Waterloo and there is some crazy stuff that happens here,especially in L block
East side waterloo most definitely, I was building a garage there and I found a used needle on the ground and I know that the actual Mexican cartel go there.
Waterloo is definitely wayyyyy worse than DM!
freakin great when everyone said damn after tommy said he was 29 lol
Congratulations on fatherhood Tommy! Soon it'll be big AND small dogs gotta eat!
Great video my man!
they basically going to do what Dashae does with his 7-8 girls in Miami type shit. love it! it'll be great content id watch that! Love the Videos Tommy!
Having a bunch of kids at a young age is what people do in small towns for some reason. Probably cause they're just bored or something
trust you don't need to go to prison for rehabilitation lmao
You should come to North Minneapolis and talk with the locals about the impact of the George Floyd and Philando Castile murders on the city.
I live in DSM and its honestly not that bad, its hella peaceful and they keep to themselves respect to them
10:19 W freestyle I was too tuned in on his freestyles 😂
Rule of thumb, Don’t go to any city in the Midwest thinking it’s sweet.
this guy is going places with these lil documentary type vids
