    ​Eye Shot showcases a featured music artist and let hip hop speak for hip hop. We’ll explore the city’s history, racial climate, economic wealth gap, crime rate, and rap music scene through the voice of the hip hop culture bred in that city.
    With rap music taking over mainstream, it seems as though everyone is speaking on and for hip hop besides hip hop! “EYE SHOT", a docu-series letting the hip hop culture in cities across the world tell us the side of the story the media hides or misinforms us about. How NWA exposed the world to the rough streets of Compton, the Geto Boys hipping us to how things were handled in Houston, or uncle Luke showing us how the Miami party scene gets lit. Our pilot starts in the streets of Buffalo, New York. With our featured rap artist “Benny the Butcher” and the B.S.F. team.

      Infusion? How about act like cooked human beings. I was a resource officer, posted for 2 1/2 years. Cultural pride? How about teaching them right from wrong, proper English, how not to go to jail , how not to get knocked up at 13, how to set yourself up for success? You teachers are a joke and part of the problem. The crap I witnessed coming from the teachers and administrators was nauseating. Your retoric, propaganda and agendas destroyed the public schools on this country. Don’t even get me started on social workers.

Listen I'm not knocking anybody hustle you do what you feel you must to get by, however if we put that same time and energy into doing something positive we would be able to appreciate each other more. There are real serious things going on in this world that require our attention but we're allowing ourselves to be distracted by negative activities. I don't even really listen to rap no more because the message it sends is been said already let's talk about doing something right. Stop glamorizing the killing and drug game there's no glory in it.

    As a man who lives in Toronto that go to Buffalo often. Toronto doesn't have a NFL team so if you want to watch good football and you live in Toronto you must go to Buffalo or Detroit to watch a game. Also every time Toronto Maple Leafs play the Buffalo Sabers in Buffalo we try to make it to the game. We have also been bored on a Friday or Saturday night and driven from Toronto to Buffalo just to eat chicken wings. I guess what I'm trying to say is Buffalo is a nice place to visit! Nice people, good times and great vibes!! Just stay in your lane and be respectful and you will have a blast in Buffalo!!

    You're showing all of these big beautiful houses in North Buffalo - that's a small part. Most of the homes are small cape codes or ranches. It is not primarily Italian - every nationality and ethnic group lives here. Everyone respects one another and is cordial. Don't make it out to be a wealthy area, there are many working class people here - and we choose to respect our differences!!!!

In the south, it's like they think NY is literally only NY City lol! It's nothing country about it. But they broke this down perfectly, this is definitely Buffalo, it ain't all pretty, but it's home, for me!

    Im just glad they have finally start putting more money in the inner city such as upgrading the Broadway market, tearing down vacant abandoned unsafe properties instead of keeping them up as graveyards. Still it is one of the most politically corrupt cities in NYS but it is an amazing place to grow up and live as long as you do the right things for the right reasons. I've been listening to b.e.n.n.y since 2004-2005. He's transformed alot by himself and his group by leading a great example. They are stand up guys and proud to say I am a neighbor in this city with them.

    @anonymousanonymous9366 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Mad props to 'Benny The Butcher' dude for 'makin' it' as a rapper, and all that, but he is incorrect in what he is expressing at the outset of this video. When he states that "nothing good" is happening in Buffalo (NY) "for us", meaning: "black people", he is very actually INCORRECT. Due to industrious and excellent persons, there are indeed MANY historic, wonderful, and advantageous things happening in 'Black Buffalo'- and has been for all of the city's history. There are many activists, athletes, faith leaders, houses of worship, employers, community organizations, foundations, lending institutions, neighborhood groups, students, entrepreneurs, businesses, associations, guilds, military establishment outposts, unions, professionals, journalists, media outlets, newspapers, editors, etc., that always have been, are, and will continue to help make Black Buffalo better than it would be, otherwise. 'Benny', however, does speak for, and toward, a sizeable faction of individuals and households in 'Black Buffalo' who are not a part of the city's (ongoing) genesis and, in fact, its (continuing) renaissance. It is HIS, it is THEIR, fault that he/they fail to acknowledge the revolution's advances. To sit back on one's tush waiting for a savior to rescue one, or anyones else, from a poverty and/or under-education and/or under-employment plight, is a life approach tactic of The Unempowered. No one, not a president, not a governor, not a mayor, not a councilmember, not a legislator, not an alderman, not a senator, not an assemblyman, not a professor, not a researcher, not a journalist, not a physician, and most certainly not a rapper, is going to reverse a (chosen) Path Of Powerlessness. That mindset, worldview, mentality, approach, and outlook is, in truth, a primary and major determinant of individuals' and households' quality-of-life Outcomes. Benny, and anyone else who would complain about the quality-of-life in Buffalo, New York, USA, and any other city in these United States (for that matter), needs to receive the following revelation(s):
    "The group consisting of mother, father, and child is the main educational agency of mankind" - MLK
    "One of the most common tendencies of human nature is that of placing responsibility on some external agency for sins we have committed or mistakes we have made. We are forever attempting to find some scapegoat on which we cast responsibility for our actions." - MLK
    "Ultimately, individual responsibility lies not in the external situation but in the internal response." - MLK
    "...many examples that could be used to refute the claim that one is completely determined by his environment. Those who hold such a position fail to see that many fine and noble persons stem from bad environments and many very bad and corrupt persons stem from comfortable and desirable environments." - MLK
    "...Far from saying that environment and heredity have n importance in human personality, what I am really saying is that there is another factor which s the ultimate determining factor - personal responsibility." - MLK
    "We are not responsible for the environment we are born in, neither are we responsible for our hereditary circumstances. But there is a third factor for which we are responsible namely, the personal response which we make to these circumstances. And so the challenge which confronts all of us is to respond to our circumstances with strength and courage rather than with weakness and despair." - MLK
    "To get into a schoolhouse and study.....would be the same as getting into paradise." - Booker T. Washington
    "I have never had patience with [those] always ready to explain why one cannot succeed, I have always had high regard for the man who could tell me how to succeed." - Booker T. Washington
    "Nothing ever comes to one, that is worth having, except as a result of hard work." - Booker T. Washington
    "One constructive effort in the way of progress does more to blot out discrimination than all the whinings in the world." - Booker T. Washington
    "It is what a man or woman is able to do that counts." - Booker T. Washington
    "No man who continues to add something to the material, intellectual and moral well-being of the place in which he lives is left long without proper reward." - Booker T. Washington
    "The individual who can do something that the world wants will, in the end, make his way regardless of race." - Booker T. Washington

    I get it... everyone wants to be known as the city to be afraid of. Unfortunately as a Buff resident since I was 13 years old, it's never been that and still isn't. Definitely street, Definitely hood, definitely can get your issue if you come out here from somewhere else playing like it's sweet. Facts. Just like a lotta other major cities. Never a murder capital tho. And all these other upstate cities tryna vye for the title, yall ain't either. Outside of NYC, Buffalo has had the most crime in the state consistently than anywhere else... but who cares? Why is that the focal point? Here's why: Because street niggaz all over the counter are really afraid of each other. As tough as everyone sound, that same fear creeps in when they enter a new terrain and unfamiliar territory with like minded ppl. Nobody wants to get run over or made to feel or look like a punk. Period.

    Upstate NY is like Long Island NY it was always frowned upon by the Five Boros of NYC. But like Buffalo and other parts of Upstate NY L.I. has its hoods just in a suburban setting like Hempstead Roosevelt Bellport Brentwood Amityville Wyndance New Cassel Freeport Terrace Ave Central Islip that have spit out it share of success stories and Gangster's like any Black Hood in America. But like Benny and Conway they went even harder like Long Island MC's did during the Golden Era like Rakim EPMD Public Enemy Freddie Foxx Craig Mack Prodigy from Moob Deep Keith Murray just to name a few because The five Boros frowned upon any other part of NY that's not the five Boros but let's be honest these Upstate NY cats are the hardest in NY and when it came to the Golden Era of Hip Hop Strong Island NY had the game on smash with all the iconic MC's we spit out like Method Man Grand Daddy IU Ashanti JVC Force Soul for Real MF DOOM Ra the Rugged Man Rakim EPMD Dela Soul Freddie Foxx Leaders of the New School Craig Mack Prodigy from Moob Deep Biz Markie Doctor Dre from Yo MTV Raps Prince Paul from Stesasonic Rick Rubin Lil Moe Original Concept and today Roc Marciano.

And its deeper than that too. South Buffalo and the Irish don't like Italians. First ward? If you're Italian/Sicilian Black Brown you aren't welcome down there. I got people on the east side that don't know shit about the west side. I got people on the west side that don't know shit about the east side. Outside the inner city, people do not cross into the suburbs, and vice versa. Wild. Cause when I travel to other places, it's nothing to visit different neighborhoods and see people from all over in one place. The only time the city really comes together is at festivals and concerts. We need to come together as a whole.

Then we see them close the store and they say you can stay. Next thing Offset and his crew walked in. Guy was cool as hell and when we left we walked out talking with him because our drivers were out front parked waiting for us. Then a mob basically showed up as we said goodbye one guy yells! Please give me 2 mins to rap for ya. Offset says ok, kid raps and Offset says "man you rap like everyone else, if you wanna get big you have to create your own flo and trademark your own words. You have to be unique and different so you stand out from everyone else!" We all then said goodbye. So I figured I tell you the story so you can take what you want from it.
