Very proud of y'all putting this together n letting everyone know the culture, the history n the struggle ( gentrification , economic struggle , gang violence ) .. we have endured in our city .. There's not enough words or bandwidth I can express on how much love I have for " Boston " ... also theres nothing these cats haven't said or shown that wasn't on point ... Great job on making this short documentary of our hometown.
This is honestly one of the best tours of Boston videos I've ever seen. These guys know all the spots, streets, the old beefs, and what's changing. Classic old school Boston!
The whole entire East Coast need to leave those trap beats or new era production alone and get back to what put the East Coast on the map.Elevate true lyricism and dope production(Boom Bap).I think it's okay to have a little of that dirty South sound in your arsenal but don't lose your identity.East Coast Hip Hop for life.

BOSTON is 23% black (more than nyc) and it is ghetto/hood but in a carribean/Cape Verdean sense with some African-American. It changed a lot. There is killings with the youth, there’s ghetto things happening like philly, Chicago but in a smaller ratio because our hoods are not as big as Chicago and nyc, Philly. Boston (proper, in the city) is one of the smallest major cities in America so our crime rate isn’t gonna be as bad as other big major cities like Houston Chicago and Detroit. Early 90s it was murder capital at a point and for a city this small, that’s scary. It portrays itself to be a nice city with education but this is to get college students to feel comfortable to come and live in boston with the best colleges/hospitals in the world. But to say I’m not afraid of anyone from Boston is just ignorant. You can get killed in Boston for just looking at someone the wrong way because that person has had it with life just like anywherelse. Boston black communities/hoods/city black sections consists of Dorchester/Roxbury/mattapan/south end if anyone interested in seeing the “the hood or ghetto” ( it does look nicer than other hoods around the country but some of the people aren’t) most of y’all need to travel. And for New Yorkers it’s not much different than Brooklyn/Bronx/queens/Harlem. We have our own like I just stated but in a much smaller compact version. (I lived in the Bronx/ and Philly). I’m out. ❤️💪🏾 BOSTON 617/857
Boy u think shit huh uk they be pouring acid on niggas for fun and shooting they legs and chasing them down like dogs like😂 that shot fucked up but it really like that no cap
Zanda Williams Boston is one of the very few major cities in America where you actually don’t need a car because we have a great public transportation system and actually the oldest in the country. History fact for ya. Segregation is real though but assimilation is truly a struggle here due to gentrification.
Smiley Adventures do you still feel like segregation is bad to the extent that races just don’t like each other? Or has that changed? As a white person that grew up in Boston, neighborhoods were segregated and different races didn’t fuck with each other. But I grew up there in the 90s and moved
Zanda Williams Segregation meaning people with no money cant follow those with money. There are more rich middle class whites in Boston than rich middle class blacks so it would be common to see majority white neighborhoods
MA is my home state, and although I've lived elsewhere for several years, I still consider Boston my home. And it breaks my heart to see so much of what made Boston unique be destroyed. What makes a city is its neighborhoods and the people who reside in those neighborhoods. I find it infuriating, let alone embarrassing, that Boston residents are being forced out of their own homes and tossed into far-away cities like Brockton and Fall River like so much garbage to make room for the invasion of upwardly mobile aliens who can afford to live anywhere else.
Boston has been getting gentrified since the 90's early 2000s. What were once dangerous projects are now luxury apartments. Still some small hoods but nothing like it used to be
Black folks in Boston are very fortunate. Only those of us who have lived other places know this. I am very proud of my city and the racial divides we have closed over the years. When I was a little girl growing up in the 70’s Boston was racially divided. We could not go to certain parts of town. And white folks could not come to our sections either, without consequences. It was all bad, a scary time for a little girl growing up. Fast forward to the 80’s n early 90’s .Grovehall was invaded by drug dealers. As crack cocaine took over our nation, Boston had many casualties during this turbulent time. Fast forward again to the 2000’s. My son was able to take the train to Ashmont St n walk to South Boston High with no problems. We have been fortunate compared to other cities because we are not over populated like other parts of our country. There are many opportunities available if u looking for them👀👀. The video shows how our streets look now. They are clean in comparison to parts of Los Angeles, the Bronx n the filthy streets of New Jersey. Back in the 80’s these same streets were a mess.
i’m from chicago (i’m half white half middle eastern btw). it’s very different over there than boston fs. i love boston and go there as much as i can. i was staying in the south central parts of dorchester for a bit. never really felt like anyone would do anything for me just being there. chicago u gotta be real careful where you walk on the southside. much love from the midwest and thanks for sharing your perspective

October Boston has changed after the 90s. A lot of O.Gz and old timers retired from the street life and most has left the city, especially with rent is high as a bird.
I'm proud to say my city of Boston is one of the safest of all major metropolitan cities in the country. Even our most dangerous parts have very little boarded up, dilapidated homes and closed up out of business stores. much of these neighborhoods are made up of well maintained expensive homes owned by the very middle and upper middle class blacks that reside there. Monday thru Friday during rush hour these streets are bumper to bumper with traffic with folks coming to and from their professional careers. This is why boston African American's aren't protesting to these absurd causes that have been going on for years now in other major cities. People actually have lives here. (those protestors 2 weeks ago were a majority white commie race traitors, btw)

@thaGOAT Boston is nowhere worse than DC. Dc was the murder capital from the 80s 90s and early 2000s. Last year 2018 Boston had only 56 homicides....D.C. had 160. Washington always had more homicides than Boston. Dc make Boston look like wonderland.
Coming together Blacks Young & Old, Black Business THAT'S WHATSUP!! I See my People's in this Boston Documentary Movie BossCity BossUp. I was looking at our Family Documentary Movie STRAIGHT OUTTA FRANKLIN FIELD PROJECTS and then this one Popped up, and I had to check it out, Since it was from our City & regarding our People in Boston!! Good to see, and good to see my fam in this joint Fragg BossCity BossUp.. Keep up the good work. Reppin our City & Folks. God Continue to bless. One Love!
Not as rough as it was back in the 80s - early 90s- not surprised to see Humboldt get mentioned, but who remembers TGB, Blue Hill Ave, lots going on back then..
I grew up in Mission Hill and although Boston isn’t my favorite place in the world, I got nothing but Love and Respect for my Brothers and Sisters from Boston. If you find yourself in Boston and need a haircut, I highly recommend “EVERYTHING IS REAL” barber shop in Dudley Square. Ask for ALLAH, he is the Best Barber in Boston. Peace and Love.
Zanda Williams not necessarily. If you live in a suburb of Boston, like “Evert”, “Lynn” or any town that involves traveling distance, then you’d probably be better of driving, but if you live in “Boston Proper”, I’ve, “Roxbury”, Dorchester”, “Mission Hill” etc, the Trolley and Train and Busses will Get you where you need to go. Also, if you like to walk, Boston is a perfect “Walking Town”. Huntington Avenue goes all the way to Downtown Boston and it’s a beautiful walk. I always enjoyed walking through the Prudential Building. “Legal Seafood” restaurant was a favorite of mine. I went to High School on Newbury Street, which is Boston’s version of say, Madison Avenue. You have “Brooks Brothers” and “Louie’s of Boston”, extremely “High End” clothing , but, excellent quality merchandise. Straight down Boylston Street and soon you will arrive at “The Boston Commons”. There is a great deal of “American History” in “The Commons” and it’s landscape is exquisite. Anyway, I wish you well. Stay Blessed and Please Stay Safe.
FUCK THE POLICE. Would that happen to be close too or maybe on, “HILLSIDE STRET”? I moved away from Boston in 1983 and only go back on occasion to visit my family. I wouldn’t know about anything else. Be well. Stay Safe.
I lived in Boston for most of my life(Southie, Dorchester and Mattapan). But I've also traveled to other places(Philly, LA, DC, Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta, New Orleans, Cleveland, Baltimore, Miami and Memphis). Before I visited these places I used to think the same as these guys. That Boston was the coldest most dangerous city. And that's because that's all I knew and wasn't well traveled. And sadly that's these guys and majority of the people here's problem. All they know is the Bean and the Bean mentality. And honestly that's not enough to survive any of these other cities I mentioned. The shit that fly's here in Boston just doesn't fly in any of these other places. Gangs activity/Crime is a lot more serious in those cities than here also. In Boston we have blocks and hoods that beef on occasions. In those cities they have actual gangs like Crips, Bloods, Vice Lords and Gangster Disciples + Drug Crews + Blocks/Hoods that war with each other everyday. Boston is mostly a college city with a suburban atmosphere. We do have hoods/ghettos but they are nowhere near as horrific as the other cities. Boston's hoods would equal most of those cities suburbs. I'm proud to be a Bahstonian and I love my city. These other cities can have their dysfunction, crime and gang bangers. I would gladly stay my ass in Beantown any day.
Natalya Morretti people kill in every single state, country, continent, worlds, and universe.... anywhere can be equally dangerous...... 10 Hammond stand up!!!! SixDeuce!!! Rip Will Jack!!!
Yeah for some reason they seem a bit more intelligent than other black people I've met. Whatever Boston is doing to its black people is clearly working and seems to lead to a better life, clearly for everyone.
you seen 1 ghetto, you seen them all..more things change more they stay the same..they can talk all that yah yah all they want..while the rich folks laugh at them.
why everybody in the comments competing for who got it worse. Im glad my city is safe... Yall niggas look up Dudley back in tge 80s and 90s.. we moving forward and that some good shit man
I borught my friend from the subburbs/country side to Temple University area in Philly and he literally got mad at me. He was like HOW CAN YOU BRING ME TO THIS!!?!?! THIS PLACE IS A TRASH CAN!! GET ME OUT OF HERE NOW!!1 I'M NOT KIDDING WE NEED TO LEAVE NOW!!!!! Philly is not a great place to live unless you live in University city, Center City or Olde City.
People always talking about how our Boston streets are clean compared to their hoods like they glorifying filth. I guess we teach our youth better manners than they teach theirs.
Original gangsters, one of the first east coast cities to start banging in 1988. Before all the blood and crop surge, it was Cali, Chicago, and DC. That 3's is the o.g. sign in the bean. All that b boy hood shit started in Boston and New York. So, yeah we originated a lot of these styles that these cities live off of... Salute us nigga, and stop all that female dissing shit..... braveheart homez
+Tyrone Lucas I will give philly theirs, but niggas were certified "gangs" in 86, by 89 it was nothing less than 80 to 100 every year after til bout 95. If you look at the map, Boston is tiny too. Put it like this, niggas been wilding since Colors. No bloods or crips, them team hats had niggas turned out. You literally couldn't wear a ball cap unless you was bout that business. that Raiders hat was the most wanted back then, that was a wild crew of dudes. the movie In Too Deep was based on my hood basically. That was all true story, they left the banging out tho.. , PA been wild tho. Salute
Andrew Motta he did. He passed it and said “Dominicans/Roxana” here and that they killing between academy/Heath. He showed it (don’t have to mention it)
It's good to see my home birth city doing positive community giveback.. I see y'all road rt past JP over by Jackson Square. That's where I grew up.. good shit.
i grew up in codman park across from academy homes those were the real niggas back in the day shout out 2 T.C B.M K.M.W.M D.H S.H those were the good out days i hope all yall r doing well
I fuck's with boston I got fam there I'm from neworleans an them there dude's always showed me love good stand up niggas..... Shots out to them blue hill boys an stanwood my peps

@@demetriafraley7266 Why would you hear about Boston if you live in Chicago? We don't ever hear anything about Chicago either, lol. Don't know the first thing about it.
real talk everything in this video is facts for me as i see it too and im hlaf white half spanish. in Boston its still segregated in 2018 and everybody in this state in the suburbs thinks bc they seen or went to school a couple black kids that were not racist anymore but they actions arent the same as there words there just mad low key stereotypical or even more like silent Racist subconsciously its wild man i be looking at some my friends or therppl i meet out here and they really are just more ignorant towards the history of our city and how if you just at inferstructure alone like they talked about all the black communities were snadwich on top each other. lastly all these dude you heard from i got mad respect for its hard to explain this city to outsiders but i feel like this is truely juust REAL and if i need to get this a point about the city across im pulling this up

Gwapo TheBoss It ain’t a competition. It ain’t fun to be shot at or shot in any city. It’s real out here and this entire idea of doing oppression olympics is dumb wild. We all know about Atlanta.

NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA!!!!....it's HOTT down here take a walk with Satan!!!! UPTOWN 4 LIFE!!! MAGNOLIA 3RD WARD in da house ya heard me!! "THE ORIGINAL MURDER CAPITAL OF THE WORLD"
I don't see it as hood! I see it as a community of civilize people who is trying to keep up their community in the positive light! I like that!!! I wish that Boston energy can spread to other places.
Boston, is a historic city that made America most of what it is today, a lot of important things occurred. I suggest getting on a duck boat tour and learn a little history. Not speaking to you, I'm just saying in general.
"Got nothing" on them? So does that make you cool or something because you live in a hood with such fuckery? You're right Gibster, you folks must be so proud of your dysfunctional citizens 👏
yes that's what I ment. I use to take the red line to forest hills station. from there we got on a bus and went down Washington going toward Dorchester. We would get off at MLK park. There was a family housing project called sajoyner house. I lived there. 20 years ago.
Jason Lancaster you don’t take redline to forest hills. U can take redline to downtown switch to orange line to forest hills. That sounds more like it.
Boston, Massachusetts, got the most educated thugs I've ever seen
ZhangK71 lol its true though
And we don't need any thugs here, they need to go back to wherever they came from.

😂 yep, kind of bizarre. People in Boston like to read. Even thug niggas.
That's a good thing besides Boston has some of the best schools and colleges like MIT, Harvard.

@thaGOAT Boston is nowhere worse than DC. Dc was the murder capital from the 80s 90s and early 2000s. Last year 2018 Boston had only 56 homicides....D.C. had 160. Washington always had more homicides than Boston. Dc make Boston look like wonderland.
@@drakehenderson9259 I'm from Boston and I agree

I See my People's in this Boston Documentary Movie BossCity BossUp. I was looking at our Family Documentary Movie STRAIGHT OUTTA FRANKLIN FIELD PROJECTS and then this one Popped up, and I had to check it out, Since it was from our City & regarding our People in Boston!!
Good to see, and good to see my fam in this joint Fragg BossCity BossUp.. Keep up the good work. Reppin our City & Folks. God Continue to bless. One Love!
Boston is extremely densely populated... Greater Boston has almost 5 million people
Not as rough as it was back in the 80s - early 90s- not surprised to see Humboldt get mentioned, but who remembers TGB, Blue Hill Ave, lots going on back then..
Yup and Intervale and Orchard Park
yeah, check out "Cool do" the online Facebook store hood things, hood pricing
Great video Boston is beautiful even in the hood.
Wheres the Columbia Point Dogz at? Are they still in Boston?
I grew up in Mission Hill and although Boston isn’t my favorite place in the world, I got nothing but Love and Respect for my Brothers and Sisters from Boston. If you find yourself in Boston and need a haircut, I highly recommend “EVERYTHING IS REAL” barber shop in Dudley Square. Ask for ALLAH, he is the Best Barber in Boston. Peace and Love.
@Zanda Williams No, you don't need a car in Boston.
Haha mission hill my step pops ran the drugs in that area he just got out from 13 year bid
Zanda Williams not necessarily. If you live in a suburb of Boston, like “Evert”, “Lynn” or any town that involves traveling distance, then you’d probably be better of driving, but if you live in “Boston Proper”, I’ve, “Roxbury”, Dorchester”, “Mission Hill” etc, the Trolley and Train and Busses will Get you where you need to go. Also, if you like to walk, Boston is a perfect “Walking Town”. Huntington Avenue goes all the way to Downtown Boston and it’s a beautiful walk. I always enjoyed walking through the Prudential Building. “Legal Seafood” restaurant was a favorite of mine. I went to High School on Newbury Street, which is Boston’s version of say, Madison Avenue. You have “Brooks Brothers” and “Louie’s of Boston”, extremely “High End” clothing , but, excellent quality merchandise. Straight down Boylston Street and soon you will arrive at “The Boston Commons”. There is a great deal of “American History” in “The Commons” and it’s landscape is exquisite. Anyway, I wish you well. Stay Blessed and Please Stay Safe.
FUCK THE POLICE. Would that happen to be close too or maybe on, “HILLSIDE STRET”? I moved away from Boston in 1983 and only go back on occasion to visit my family. I wouldn’t know about anything else. Be well. Stay Safe.
Prayers and Love for my city of Boston
I hear you
Yoooo he aid the Boston tea party! Yoooo respect 617, I miss the Rox
I lived in Boston for most of my life(Southie, Dorchester and Mattapan). But I've also traveled to other places(Philly, LA, DC, Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta, New Orleans, Cleveland, Baltimore, Miami and Memphis). Before I visited these places I used to think the same as these guys. That Boston was the coldest most dangerous city. And that's because that's all I knew and wasn't well traveled. And sadly that's these guys and majority of the people here's problem. All they know is the Bean and the Bean mentality. And honestly that's not enough to survive any of these other cities I mentioned. The shit that fly's here in Boston just doesn't fly in any of these other places. Gangs activity/Crime is a lot more serious in those cities than here also. In Boston we have blocks and hoods that beef on occasions. In those cities they have actual gangs like Crips, Bloods, Vice Lords and Gangster Disciples + Drug Crews + Blocks/Hoods that war with each other everyday. Boston is mostly a college city with a suburban atmosphere. We do have hoods/ghettos but they are nowhere near as horrific as the other cities. Boston's hoods would equal most of those cities suburbs. I'm proud to be a Bahstonian and I love my city. These other cities can have their dysfunction, crime and gang bangers. I would gladly stay my ass in Beantown any day.
Natalya Morretti people kill in every single state, country, continent, worlds, and universe.... anywhere can be equally dangerous...... 10 Hammond stand up!!!! SixDeuce!!! Rip Will Jack!!!
You wrong, just a different geographic layout.
Natalya Morretti a
You right Boston is a decent city been here all my life .
She dont know wtf she is talkin about lmao
Yeah for some reason they seem a bit more intelligent than other black people I've met. Whatever Boston is doing to its black people is clearly working and seems to lead to a better life, clearly for everyone.
You must not get out much
@@CrodieLynx_83 What do you mean? I’ve only been to Boston a few times.
you seen 1 ghetto, you seen them all..more things change more they stay the same..they can talk all that yah yah all they want..while the rich folks laugh at them.
why everybody in the comments competing for who got it worse. Im glad my city is safe... Yall niggas look up Dudley back in tge 80s and 90s.. we moving forward and that some good shit man
It’s so weird knowing where there were for 9/10 of the video
Love Boston but im glad i grew up in the north shore suburbs
Well ladee freakin dah!
That’s where o am
Doesn't appear to be a dump like Philadelphia.
Ben Simmons cuz we hold it down
I borught my friend from the subburbs/country side to Temple University area in Philly and he literally got mad at me. He was like HOW CAN YOU BRING ME TO THIS!!?!?! THIS PLACE IS A TRASH CAN!! GET ME OUT OF HERE NOW!!1 I'M NOT KIDDING WE NEED TO LEAVE NOW!!!!! Philly is not a great place to live unless you live in University city, Center City or Olde City.
Philly they greatest place on earth
Boston better then Broke down Philly
No comparison sorry philly is on another level
ride the 23, 28, 45, 26, 15, 22, 15, 19, 29......mbta
strobe iw nahhhhh lmao! Stay away from the 23, 22 and 28 lol
😂😂🤣
People always talking about how our Boston streets are clean compared to their hoods like they glorifying filth. I guess we teach our youth better manners than they teach theirs.
Original gangsters, one of the first east coast cities to start banging in 1988. Before all the blood and crop surge, it was Cali, Chicago, and DC. That 3's is the o.g. sign in the bean. All that b boy hood shit started in Boston and New York. So, yeah we originated a lot of these styles that these cities live off of... Salute us nigga, and stop all that female dissing shit..... braveheart homez
+Tyrone Lucas I will give philly theirs, but niggas were certified "gangs" in 86, by 89 it was nothing less than 80 to 100 every year after til bout 95. If you look at the map, Boston is tiny too. Put it like this, niggas been wilding since Colors. No bloods or crips, them team hats had niggas turned out. You literally couldn't wear a ball cap unless you was bout that business. that Raiders hat was the most wanted back then, that was a wild crew of dudes. the movie In Too Deep was based on my hood basically. That was all true story, they left the banging out tho.. , PA been wild tho. Salute
Salute to you brother...all this is turf.
+H Still here O.P. was the In Too Deep movie
+pressure1982 no question. Roxbury primarily
The streets!!!

Yall need to check out Sunnny South or Peachtree or Thomasville AL.
It’s expensive to live in Boston Massachusetts

real talk everything in this video is facts for me as i see it too and im hlaf white half spanish. in Boston its still segregated in 2018 and everybody in this state in the suburbs thinks bc they seen or went to school a couple black kids that were not racist anymore but they actions arent the same as there words there just mad low key stereotypical or even more like silent Racist subconsciously its wild man i be looking at some my friends or therppl i meet out here and they really are just more ignorant towards the history of our city and how if you just at inferstructure alone like they talked about all the black communities were snadwich on top each other. lastly all these dude you heard from i got mad respect for its hard to explain this city to outsiders but i feel like this is truely juust REAL and if i need to get this a point about the city across im pulling this up

I Got Shot 8 Times I’m From Thetford Ave In Dorchester It’s Real
Come to Atlanta 😂see how real it is down dis way
Gwapo TheBoss It ain’t a competition. It ain’t fun to be shot at or shot in any city. It’s real out here and this entire idea of doing oppression olympics is dumb wild. We all know about Atlanta. I’m here now and from Boston and moved here three months ago and still carry that same mentality of protection that I had in Boston and I’m grateful for it because I move different now out here for my safety.
Thx for this lil tour of Boston bruh! I wanna visit

I don't see it as hood! I see it as a community of civilize people who is trying to keep up their community in the positive light! I like that!!! I wish that Boston energy can spread to other places.
hip-hop started in new York so what exactly did Boston create?
oh we got a hating ass new yorker over here
***** it's a lot of great actors,comedians,and so from other places so what's your point
the point is that boston did create something which is answering you question: "so what exactly did boston create?"
Okay......
Boston, is a historic city that made America most of what it is today, a lot of important things occurred. I suggest getting on a duck boat tour and learn a little history. Not speaking to you, I'm just saying in general.
How come nobody mentions Jp
The bean the fucking realist city every b
4:32 - 5:12 .... This is the same thing happening in Atlanta...
bro need the change those brakes
Do they realize that all those same neighborhoods were Irish, Italian, Polish and Jewish? I mean...we all gotta move on at some point.
boston seem similar to the Bay . I diggs the scene
My auntie Rene lives in opp we lived there since black top and candy girl stop playing it's the Bean 💀
Yo Boston got nothing on these hoods in New Orleans
The Gibster NO the city that smells like piss. I'm glad they're is no other city like NO. One is more than enough.
Boston Thugs live more luxurious, New Orleans is dirty and look too ghetto.... People get killed everywhere....
"Got nothing" on them? So does that make you cool or something because you live in a hood with such fuckery? You're right Gibster, you folks must be so proud of your dysfunctional citizens 👏
I think we can live with that seeing some of us LOVE life
Fuck Bum Orleans We know that shit is crappy sweetie 😄
I've lived in both Brockton and Taunton. Shits real.
Neither one of those is Boston 😂😂😂
I live in heath street
Where the hell are these people coming from? I thought my home town in MA was safer than this. Coming from a black person so not racist.
what's with all the hate I'm from Boston I support every color and taunton is just as hard ! dewart ave Paul bunker..whittenton street
Taunton bro ha that’s that’s all white people
yes that's what I ment. I use to take the red line to forest hills station. from there we got on a bus and went down Washington going toward Dorchester. We would get off at MLK park. There was a family housing project called sajoyner house. I lived there. 20 years ago.
Jason Lancaster you don’t take redline to forest hills. U can take redline to downtown switch to orange line to forest hills. That sounds more like it.
