Great video.. I’m from Cardiff, a massive Mobb Deep fan and I decided to visit Queensbridge back in 2018, had a great experience and was shown around the hood, met some dudes who showed me what building Nas was born in aswell which was really cool. I love NY! Great work Wendall
I know it melts my liberal snowflake soul,makes me feel so warm n teary eyed....to bad they don't explore Ireland the people they enslaved under Cromwell n king James sending them to West indies and America, colonized them for 800 yrs n oppressed them n flogged them whenever like cowards....I wouldn't go there if I was him anyway cuz he coward n fake
Wendell, I bought on Sunday just gone the 50 CD for $3 bucks. Best CD for reel. Every track is a hit in my book. So looking forward to Jamaica Queens tour. Thanks buddy.
50 Cent didnt pop of f over night . He had already dropped an album called Power of the Dollar on Colimbia records but it was shelved when he was shot . It was his mix tapes that got him the attention of Eminem . Then he got the Interscope deal and then he Popped off fr overnight success took about 7 years of graft Still loving the NYC vids . Resp3ct for making it to his house 😎
Great video, I had a similar experience when I travelled to see a mate living in Detroit in 2008 and visited Hitsville the home of Motown, to be able to walk inside a building that so many musical Legends have recorded in was magical and well worth the bargain $12 entrance fee.
True story Wendell, I travelled to New York last year and tried to do it on the cheap, I ended up staying in an Airbnb in South Jamaica , I experienced my first cockroach , how lovely 😂 i’ve got the hell out of there and booked into a hotel in midtown Manhattan , it’s surreal to see you there and I was only there last year , sorry for the long comment but great video 🙌😎
Only just come across this channel, just watched these 2 vids in the States, absolutely first class, love seeing you talk to real ppl, brilliant work, keep it up 👏👏👏
Ahh legendary mate! Great video, ngl I’m jealous you’ve been to 50’s hood and seen where he grew up haha buzzing for you that you’ve been able to experience that! Keep up the great content
Brilliant video, brother.. You're exactly like me. Wendall, it's the best food you ever had. Every time you try something ❤ Much love, bro . I look forward to the next. 😊
Great video Wendal, the Jamaican food place looked tasty and the people were nice, all the interactions you filmed seemed quite positive unlike alot of people in the UK always suspicious of the camera!😂, that last guy in the car outside 50s old house could be one of his lovechilds cause he looked like a young 50 cent lol!😂👍
Another great video. I lived in the hood (not in NYC) for years and the best part is the community you have where everyone is looking out for each other and are friendly. You treat people respectfully and you'll be fine.
Just randomly came across this channel I’m from Walsall area you sound local to me haha love these vids I wanna travel like this one day and experience all the different cultures. That trailer park had me howling tho reminds me of 8 mile
I grew up in Jamaica. It’s always been a middle class type of neighborhood but with many problems. It’s got a bad reputation but there’s good hard working people that live there, but you do need to be strong and be street smart. Recently it’s gotten gentrified, like every other hood in the city. I guess with the high cost of living everywhere, investor set their eyes on Jamaica and started renovating property to rent out. So it looks pretty decent now, compared to how it looked in the 90’s. With that said, it’s still the hood and pretty much the same people live there with the same bs, so always best to be aware and try to avoid any sketchy situations.
I love Jamaican food and people. Been a couple times to the island and frequent the local restaurants in the states. One spot in Jamaica was a family place near Montego Bay and they let us pick our free range chicken for dinner. As fresh as it gets. Amazing meal and kindest people ever.
love and look forward to both of your videos so much, myself I grew p through 50's career so admire his music from my youth! is there a donation thing on here somehow?
RyRys food looks amazing, wonder if uber eats will deliver to manchester 😂 also being a 50 fan, you made my day with this video, best video to date foe me
Cool.. i went to New York in September this year. I wanted to visit that house.. but.. i ended up staying in Brooklyn.. I was lucky enough to stay airbnb in Biggie Smalls old childhood building.. I stayed in apartment 226 st james place in brooklyn's clinton hill. It was cool :) New york is doing it.. the people are great too :) Great video :)
I was there myself last oct i took pics and videos myself i also went to the 40 projects which are near by i have friends in far rockway queens so everytime i go by i visit 😊l
Wow I’m in the uk and always wanted to do just what you’ve done the stuff most people from the uk go to America for doesn’t interest me lol, I want to see places like this as well as elvis presleys place and also do a bus tour on areas Tupac lived ect found out via google that’s a thing. Loved the video mate
Everyone seems very friendly over there in New York. Not like in England where there is almost always some misery guts telling you shouldn't be filming 😂 As I would of expected a way more friendlier and chilled vibe there
It is much easier to get people on camera in US. As a general rule I’d say: 4/5 decline to be on film in UK, prob only 1/5 decline in US. Very open people 🇺🇸
@WendallExplores I agree English are too reserved. Only yesterday I tried to help someone and they reacted with suspicion. As though the default mindset is that you might be up to something nefarious
Those streets were crazy in the 80s and 90s Southside Jamaica Queens was no joke and even some parts are still rough these days All of NYC was dangerous in the 80s and 90s I believe the year 1990 racked up the most h*micides in NYC 🗽 Salute to you, Wendall 💪🏽💯✊🏽
Partly true. Most of NorthEast/central Queens was pretty safe back then. But any hood where drugs was being sold, yea it was a war zone. Jamaica near the top of that list. I was a senior in Flushing high in 1990. Jamaica was a no go zone. That's why I laugh at the blunt ignorance of these youtubers just randomly walking around these hoods. Yea it's safer but just a matter of time before they are robbed at gun point.
@@magamaga1827I went there in the late 90s and it was sketchy back then. I’m from the UK. This was before 50 cent the mainstream rapper. Years later, I hear 50 cent talking about Southside Jamaica Queens and I was like, “I’ve been there!” Lol 😂. Random coincidence.
Besides italian im actually half Jamaican im glad you have discovered a Jamaican community in Queens Ny. Nyc is known for having more Jamaicans then any other city in the world including my grandma's sister and neice who are from Jamaica but live near nyc instead of uk. Gotta love jerk chicken and rice/peas🇯🇲
Then swing on over to Corona where the beatnuts grew up and finally check out lefrak city where Capone and Noriega grew up that pretty much sums up the queens hip hop greats tour
Life long New Yorker here. No Neighborhood is as Bad or as Good as it's Reputation. People are People. Some are Cool and some are Assholes. Don't matter how much money They got.Nice Video. Peace.
Good video but 50 cent wasn’t an overnight success, he was about mixtapes for a while. Also he’s got some tough competition for best rapper from queens.. Others include - Nas Ll cool j Pharohe Monche Kool g rap…
The hole, the Italian mafia dumped some bodies there or there’s a connection to the mafia somehow. You should visit the Gemini lounge. The demeo crew slaughter house.
Some parts of Queens and Brooklyn feels like some 3rd world country. But mate you have to love the $33/day all you can ride weekly Metro pass. Even London's daily cap can't match that! If you go zone 1-6 you might hit UKP100+ or something a week!!!

Great video wendell and it was a pleasure meeting you keep up the awesome work and content my brother till we meet again cheers 🍻
Thank you sir!
Wendall makes Jamaican friends everywhere he goes, nice to see.
I know it melts my liberal snowflake soul,makes me feel so warm n teary eyed....to bad they don't explore Ireland the people they enslaved under Cromwell n king James sending them to West indies and America, colonized them for 800 yrs n oppressed them n flogged them whenever like cowards....I wouldn't go there if I was him anyway cuz he coward n fake
RyRy's the best part of the vid, loved seeing you make their day
Wendell, I bought on Sunday just gone the 50 CD for $3 bucks. Best CD for reel. Every track is a hit in my book. So looking forward to Jamaica Queens tour. Thanks buddy.
22:50 "Sorry i'm from England" - what could be more English than that!
😂
This area looks much nicer than Manchester...

Sorry mate but 'In Da Club' was NOT the song that changed 50s life. The man was dropping mixtape after mixtape for years before that haha
It’s definitely the record that made him a megastar stop it
Not only is 50 Cent a great rapper, he also called out Puffy before everyone else... he's the real McCoy.
Thanks for taking us to his hood, Wendall.
I enjoyed the mission ✊
@@WendallExplores ✌
@WendallExplores 😂
very impressed with your content of late Ollie and in general tbh, you reap what you sow and boy you done your sowing, congrats buddy👊🏻

Awesome content Wendall! really enjoying the US videos. keep them coming.

You must be a big 50 fan to book a hotel in South Jamaica!
I don’t mind some of 50’s songs , I learned that 50 cent lived there a couple of days before I arrived , also Nicki Minaj is from south Jamaica
i'm from queens. you picked just about the worst hood to stay.
@@magamaga1827 I did yep
Only just come across this channel, just watched these 2 vids in the States, absolutely first class, love seeing you talk to real ppl, brilliant work, keep it up 👏👏👏
Appreciate it 🙏
You can check out the queensbridge projects under the 59st bridge in Long Island City. Where dj Marley Marl, Roxanne shante Nas and mob deep grew up.

This is great boys… more like this 💪🏻💪🏻
Cheers bud 💪
Brilliant video, brother..
You're exactly like me. Wendall, it's the best food you ever had. Every time you try something ❤
Much love, bro . I look forward to the next. 😊
Thanks Wendall - watched a lot of your stuff. Always dead interesting :)
Brilliant .. really loving your stuff, found you via Dan's channel
Awesome, thank you
i genuinley thought that area would have been allot more hostile , cool to see people there are friendly
Me too, but to be honest was the most laid back of all the NY hoods I visited
Jamaica Queens has been gentrified. It's hip and trendy, not a hood anymore...
@@stevemcgowen Ha! Hip and trendy where?! LOL!
More hostile because why?
People in the hood are less rude than financial times square and rich areas
Great video Wendal, the Jamaican food place looked tasty and the people were nice, all the interactions you filmed seemed quite positive unlike alot of people in the UK always suspicious of the camera!😂, that last guy in the car outside 50s old house could be one of his lovechilds cause he looked like a young 50 cent lol!😂👍
People way more cool with the camera in US 🇺🇸
When its been a long day and you click TH-cam and there's a fresh Wendall upload. :) Good skills!
Appreciate the words mate 🫡
Absolute quality 👌 👏 🙌
Another great video. I lived in the hood (not in NYC) for years and the best part is the community you have where everyone is looking out for each other and are friendly. You treat people respectfully and you'll be fine.
Well said!
Great vid Wendall, thank you
Thanks for watching 🫡
Yo Wendell. If you're still in NYC go check out the Mulberry Street Bar.
Bundles of old school character. 👊
Just randomly came across this channel I’m from Walsall area you sound local to me haha love these vids I wanna travel like this one day and experience all the different cultures. That trailer park had me howling tho reminds me of 8 mile
Only one way to do it, and that’s to do it 💪

Really enjoyed this! That food had my mouth watering.
$22.57 for 2 pieces of chicken and some pasta 😮 Food ain't cheap in the US.
That's NY for ya. But we ate cheap in NY even down near 5th Avenue. Depends where you go. The small local deli pizza places
I love Jamaican food and people. Been a couple times to the island and frequent the local restaurants in the states. One spot in Jamaica was a family place near Montego Bay and they let us pick our free range chicken for dinner. As fresh as it gets. Amazing meal and kindest people ever.
Wrong Jamaica
Great video as per Wendall
RyRy's wow what hospitality received. Lovely people. Lovely restaurant
100% top joint RyRy’s 👌
What an interesting video. I've travelled through Jamaica on the Long Island railroad train. I used to take that train to Long Beach Long Island.
I'm still blown away by the frienliness and helpfulness of the people who live in these supposed no go areas.
Great watch , many thanks Wendall.
Thank you 🙏
love and look forward to both of your videos so much, myself I grew p through 50's career so admire his music from my youth! is there a donation thing on here somehow?
Class video Wendall!! Good to see where 50 Cent grew up! Hope Danny is sound 🥴😂 ….Smithy
Haven't seen Danny since 💀

Awesome you got to stay in Biggie building

Queens surprised me like that as well. Broad streets, parks, and a post office like a small town feel.
Nice one wendall, you are class mate
Thanks mate

'The Hole' looked a lot more pleasant and uplifting than that video you did on the Black Country.

@WendallExplores thanks mate good video
That drink was literally glowing 😂
💡
Go to 69th Street Woodside Queensnd walk down Roosevelt Ave for best food in the city
Good video but 50 cent wasn’t an overnight success, he was about mixtapes for a while. Also he’s got some tough competition for best rapper from queens..
Others include -
Nas
Ll cool j
Pharohe Monche
Kool g rap…
Stalking black men are we now Wendall... that's an eye opener !!!
The hole, the Italian mafia dumped some bodies there or there’s a connection to the mafia somehow. You should visit the Gemini lounge. The demeo crew slaughter house.
Good video mate . The hood in Jamaica wasn’t really the hood thought. That street was quite expensive, private detached houses . Middle class land…
Some of the areas that surround the street are pretty solid hood vibes, but the particular area with 50’s house was pretty decent yeah
THAT TRAIN STATION WAS GRANT AVENUE IN BROOKLYN.
H aha a Brummy in south side Jamaica queens, I’m from Walsall, go on me yam yam brother.
Why was Danny afraid to go to Brownsville? Thought he liked dangerous places. Lost his credibility.
👀
Why would he be afraid of Brownsville? He went to East NY.
Man I thought this video is about the original 50 cent after reading the title
Go to the QB projects and find Nasty Nas's gaff next
Some parts of Queens and Brooklyn feels like some 3rd world country. But mate you have to love the $33/day all you can ride weekly Metro pass. Even London's daily cap can't match that! If you go zone 1-6 you might hit UKP100+ or something a week!!!
UK and even more so London rip people off in almost everything. Over here you pay twice the price and get half the quality.
Mis 50 cent
I also like 50 him and Eminem these two were the best.
