😤I use to hate when they blocked the alleys I couldn’t take the short cuts because it use to be dumpsters and other shit blocking it so I literally had to walk the block 😤
Crazy how much money was made in that part of the NE quadrant. You got Trinidad like 3 blocks up, Langston like 15 blocks up, Sursum Corda like 10 blocks back the other way, and of course North Cappy and Hanover. All them places was jumping. It’s a shame gentrification ruined so much. Glad to see natives still out here. FROM DC RUN DC. Who said that was 640?
Yes we do, they indulged in a selfish endeavor that caused more destruction if anything. If anything they join a list of legendary sell outs who helped destroy brown communities dreams, youth, families and lives. What we need is BLACK OCTOBER. Giving out a bird once a year or paying someone's subsidized rent doesn't constitute a legend. Your statement is proof their plan worked. Broken families, black women with disregard to motherhood and so on!

Gentrification ruined the city, pushed the people out and the history, I hope dudes wisen up and get property out there to pass it down and keep the history alive and well. I’m whites and I’ll say it, the white people coming in from NY and Boston (based on polls all the white ppl that came during gentrification came from NY and Boston) ruined the city. I hate it. They got no respect for the history of our city and how it is. I miss Chocolate City.
🤔I love my city but my question is how many row houses , residential apartment buildings, or commercial buildings dude these Brovas own?? Current Legends have money in venture capital and development. The new DC Wharf, around the Nationals stadium, etc.
Seem like to me when Ray got jammed up that block shut down. Like ghost town shut down. Its was mid 90's when the dude came out on 10th St. and Morse and Montello. But he explains when he say they was making $5,000 a day. So I guess I'm talking about the dudes that was getting $4 - $5,000 a sales and doing hundreds of sales a day.
He was but it goes beyond a racial conspiracy has racism is a tool used by the powers that be to micromanage and shape society into a desired direction and outcome. It’s good vs evil is all. Roll with Jesus or satan. The world system is just the satanic matrix so to speak. Peep 👀
Why they don't never have any dudes that was from 4th and Lst. Ray real spot where work was distributed at. What ever happened to them dudes? The house that the feds recorded doing 100 kilo transactions at. That house that the feds took. Ray lived in Md and they took that house also. Q can you get up with those folks?
Yea its not like ny and philly all baltimore they all kinda claim eastcoast like geographically we are but we like a mix of east coast. I think gucci said sum that sumed it up. “Stupid city boy country boy swag.”
We are geographically referred to as the midatlantic but we are below the mason dixon line which makes of the beginning of the south and the perfect mix of east coast and southern vibes. If we go up north we from down south, if we go down south we from up north. At one time we all say we from DC but now out of respect and families we say the DMV.
That Block Was Pumping Working fifties ain't no other hood was putting that out where you can make your own money off of their 50's this was when DC was the Murder Capital but that hood never got hit up . I lived on Abbey Place which is a couple of block over
The Wire premiered in 2002 but was based off the early to late 1980s. So you were basing your innovation off antiquated movement in the streets. How innovated was you if you only spent your money of materialized things that depreciate and partying. If you didn't buy property in DMV or have something to show for the risk you took, it was a waste of time. I heard you mention education and private school, where's the intelligence. DC is top in the nation for gentrification and more than likely no one in your crew can participate. How much can being a legend goes for these days, a free drink at the club, what, an old washed up thot or maybe 20% off at Merry Go Round, which doesn't exist anymore. Hint Hint!
So since you took some shots…I’m going to respond. How you know we didn’t spend our money on things that didn’t appreciate in value like property, so ask instead of assuming. Secondly, you took a shot at my intellect but for sure I can school you in the class and the streets. Last but not least, you wouldn’t know anything about my neighborhood unless you watch the news or looked it up so living on Orleans is different buddy so maybe that was your hood and the dudes lived lives of clubs/thots
Gentrification is coming to your hood eventually unless there's no Work in ur City We must realize we are all Lab Rats for The US Govt The have been experimenting on us Since We were kidnapped and brought here if you look and see mostly all the poor Whites Are hidden in the hills or trailer Homes away from plain sight the plan is to get the price of living so high that you can't afford to live in certain cities they are trying to find ways to end Gun Violence in the Cities so to give you $300k for your home in DC for you to move out somewhere Spreaded out where the costs of living is cheaper like WV or Rual MD
@@MrEmirali625 if you’re saying you will “school” someone in “class” as you put it you might want to use correct grammar when saying such things if you want anyone to take you seriously or believe you.
🤣🤣 the 80s with cartel help and a lot of bodies….no help in the 90s for us and where was the chaos bodies? Sorry we were a different brand of hustlas: smart and smooth not sloppy and snitching
@@MrEmirali625 Why y’all trying to knock what he did. His crew made Orleans what it was. Y’all would never see the money he did. That joint was dried up, in the 90s cut it out. Y’all talking cartel, like he wasn’t supposed to take that connect. That’s how big of a player in the game he was. Doing what he did, them bodies had to drop. Nobody in his crew ever said when it came to hustlin while he was on the street that he did something wrong. Cut it out, you wasn’t even the man on that block. You took orders not giving them.
Bodies had the drop…you can tell you from that old school where y’all killed good men over women. You missed the entire point…you can argue all day about the 80s we talking 90s and I can tell you never came around my hood in the 90s so you can win on the 80s because that generation died fighting over women, killed for Jordan and I forgot “bodies had to drop” sound stupid
I was locked up wit q on h9 when Riverdale niggas jumped him rip cruddy ahk was my celly at time he told me they was on his ass for hollering at they man q popped off I ain't no who he was I also just came home from baro h7 wit dollah seen papers on q he on fire no cap so your street cred hit fuck that rap u got that man a cool 11 out feds swyd smh brah
We're on our way to being guests in our own city. Wish we had more property than stories. 💯
That's some deep ish to think about
To be real bro black people need to start over to many people been killed over dese blocks it’s wars going on from 40 years ago over dese blocks 10s of thousands of us dead or in prison fuck dese neighborhoods we need new ones
Big capital always wins. So if that wasthe case they woulda found a way to depreciate the city's value to stop the ppl from winning.
Man if this ain't the truth joe! That's one thing our OGs didn't think about in DC!
