ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 พ.ค. 2021
- South Central LA has a reputation for danger and violence. So I decided to venture in with HoodVlogs to see it for myself. I was fully surprised by the reception I received from the Bloods & Crips. Join me as we journey into a very stimulating world full of crime, community, hope, and despair.

"You can't control how life starts but you can control how it ends"
Amazing quote
You can't control how life starts at all, but sometimes you can control how it ends
@@kensliye94 you basically just said what he said
He said how things start, not life. You can change how you perceive what happens to you instead of being emotional and irrational
18:51🐶whoa!
Much success to all his endeavors, Godbless,🙏💯
Is she alive?
“YeAh, No. but she’s alive in me., that’s why i was so quick to say yeah”.
Damn.
Hit hard
Yeah man. These people deal so much with death on an "ordinary" basis
Not going to lie I teared up. I feel terrible these guys are trapped by their situation, but full of talent and dreams. :(
Tears honestly came
To my eyes that just got different
@@drew5988 you’ll stop feeling terrible when they mug your ass in their hood. They are master manipulators (street smart).
As a journalist for 20 years, you are doing naturally what we try to teach newcomers - with little success a lot of times - to tell the story, do not be the story. When you did not dance and did not participate in the game, you kept us focusing on the story instead of focusing on you while you were telling it with your brilliant questions. This is genius on so many levels. Great job, Peter.
Yeah i wish he would come to my city cause we really need it
a journalist letting them tell the story! not like today where most journalists interject their opinions and then lie! This guy is refreshing!
I love that everywhere you go, you're always promoting peoples' business/hustle by sharing their links. I'm sure it means a lot.
you fine as fuck
Peter really walking with some crips eating ice cream in the middle of the street 😂😂😂😂😂
I know right. Love it. Lol
LMFAOOOO i am cracking up
It looks like Donnie Wahlberg eating ice cream with crips
The car burning out and them flinching ... and Peter just rollin on with 21 questions 😂
@@justskinnot2seriously71 the best part was the two ice cream trucks beefing idk if that was coincidence
But it was great
I live in LA and have had a few random encounters with gang members, surprisingly every one of them positive. One time two of them helped me change my flat tire at night in a dark parking lot. They could've easily mugged me with little effort, but instead helped me, shook my hand, and went on their way 👍
Yea ive had similar experiences actually
wow God bless them
Okay? Their source of income is still stealing and hurting innocent people. It doesn't really mean anything that you you were lucky enough to meet the scum while they were in a good mood.
Spoken, exhaled human verbalisation (words) are just labels that we use to associate external experiences, to then internalise in our brains.
Humanity has no label, morals are innate to each individual.
Someone who leads with humble innate morals/beliefs, will create a ‘hive mind’ conscious. The hive mind mentality is then shared amongst other members, in or out groups - psychologically.
You can be labelled a gang member but maintain certain morals/beliefs/codes that match of someone of another social class.
That's how gangs used to be and what they started off as. For the community, protecting. Money is the root of all evil
I'm just so stoked to hear this young man speaking about the history of gangs.
The new generation makes informed decisions. They, like many,are waiting on the world.
What timestamp you talking about ?
Yup, keep tellin' those stories, lionizing OGs like they're heroes and godfather idols in the eyes of young kids. These people are uneducated shi*t talkers. The new generation isn't making informed decisions. They'll wind up just like the idiots in this video. They are their own worst enemy.
History? You know what they say about humans and history.
This is proof positive, as if we needed more. Yawn.
Dang, Bwuan, I'm so sorry about the loss of your mom. She's watching over you and wants the best for you. You got this. Make her proud. 💜
*”Money doesn’t change you, it changes the people around you”* 💯
I hit the stock market big a few months ago, and I'm fairly certain it was the main reason one of my closest friends suddenly pushed me away. Hardest lesson of the year so far.
@@Beangoeszoom yea I’ve had the same experience as well with money and those around me. After making a little bit I only got 2 messages from people congratulating me. 50 others (some that are close and not so close) acted like nothing happened and always looked at me funny. Then some had the nerve to say I changed or saying things like “oh he thinks he’s this or that cuz he has money now” when really they were just jealous and saw my unchanged personality and every little thing that I did as suddenly being because of me wanting to show off (eating at a nice restaurant more often than before, getting a nice car) etc etc. the GOOD thing about success is it filters out the fakes. So, that friend of yours was always a phony; the money just brought it out. You should celebrate your departure
Money don't change people, money expose them.
@@Beangoeszoom Jealousy my man nothing more that’s their problem he was never a friend then. Good for you by the way
Even your family bro. I bought a fucked up car but it was worth some. Uncle's came at me sideways saying why you doing this and that.
Bwuan should be in sales somewhere…he might have it in his mind that he can’t do this and that because of his background but people love when someone is charismatic, chatty and genuine. You can feel this guy has a big heart
100% - people want this authenticity. He'll do well!
th-cam.com/video/06rzViNTc2E/w-d-xo.html
⬆️⬆️ Did you know 6ix9ine is now a CRIP??
😂😆🤣
@@newkidsongs6580 who cares..
He is a hustler. He applies that mentality to anything he really wants to go for, he would succeed.
Seems a smart and genuine dude. All the best bwuan
As a mom, of grown sons, I have to tell you that I couldn't love Bwuan more. He's working hard to make a life for himself. That's all any mom wants for her kids. You got this, Sir. 💜
As a 50 something white bloke from south london, I find these young men’s situations so stressful, confusing and frustrating, i can’t imagine having to live feeling like I’d have to defend myself from violence everyday, it must be so exhausting. Really feel for them.
Don't. They do it to themselves. They repeat it wherever they go, and they do it in purpose.
It’s really silly, I’ll never understand it.
Wait until you find out about London’s black communities. Same shit. It’s in every poor urban community, regardless of race.
@@j.w.m.415Yeah, that’s what being forced into poverty and trauma for 10 generations does to someone. You don’t know shit about psychology.
@@SnailHatan 'Regardless of race' ? No, it's not a thing in White countries
Go to an ACTUALLY white country such as Czech Republic or Poland and you will find the violence and crime rate to be very low even in the few poor urban areas.
It might not have much to do with race per se, but simply the culture (or perhaps the lack of it) of blacks, gypsies, arabs etc. (third worlders in general)
Peter has an astounding ability to not cause offence and ask the right questions.
you're etiher a child without preconceptions or a tourist without any
sucks people don't just do this regularly.
Everybody can do it, it's pretty simple.. Be nice and treat people with respect and in almost all cases people will be nice in return :)
I'm not forcing this but I have the most important information/fact to tell you that you need to believe in. We all are sinners and we must get punished for all of our sins by spending eternity in hell, but God sent Christ, his only Son to take the penalty for all of our sins instead by dying on the cross to save us from going to hell and so we can have eternal life with Christ and God in his kingdom. On the third day after Christ died, Christ rose back from the dead. Christ ascended to heaven and he will come back for his chosen ones and take them to heaven. God bless you and have a good day😁
He’s got a very “Huell Howser” way of interviewing people.
It's called editing. The point of these videos is to show positive things. He's not going to let you see him make really bad mistakes, as any human being doing this much is certainly doing.
Being from Europe, this just feels like watching someone play San Andreas lol
Hahahahahahaayhaa
The GTA world feels much safer lol
Where you from.bruhhh
You are from Germany so I see why... But have you heard of the Balkans
@@jaynic9126 Ive been there many times haha
I appreciate these videos because you allow the world to see these communities for what they are instead of the narrative that's constantly spread on TV, social media, word of mouth, etc. Thank you for giving people who would usually be silenced, a voice.
"You never know whos loyal to you till you at your worst and at yo best."
Wise man right there.
“I don’t feel safe nowhere!” Such a sad way to live. Inner peace is so important.
I guess he's never been to an all White neighborhood. Safest place anyone of any race can be.
@@MrTLinSTL Sounds pretty stereotypical.
@@MrTLinSTL not really depends on tho
@@MrTLinSTL Till those white people see someone who looks out of place and call the cops
@@chewychew8519 Better getting the cops called than being flashed a gun and told you don't belong around there like has happened to me in black areas. Fact is blacks do better when they are around White people than they do around other blacks. Quite honestly, every other race does better surrounded by Whites. That's why everyone wants to be in White counties. Not too many people breaking down the doors to get to Africa.
Bwuan has a good heart man. Hope he makes it big someday.
@@jaywentz7770 War causes war. Humanity keeps on making the same mistakes. I pray for you. Hopefully one day you can see the good in others.
They are predator's, if he can he shoot you in seconds for money
if he wont be participant in drive by olympics.
@@brandongonzalll
@@treydo1 g&
The stigma is crazy, but seeing the actual individuals, being mostly trying to have a positive attitude and trying to be good, it's good to see it out there for people to see
"the stigma" as we hear the man explain how his brother shot a cop in the face. the stigma is there for a reason
@@superawesomeminecaft Typical white response..You whites love Police because theu treat yall good.They dont treat us the same way..But of course something tells me you just dont like Black people anyway..
@@knos360 No I dont like black peepol, you're right about that. Ever thoght there might be a reason why I dont like black peepol? Ever thought there might be a reason cops treat Whites better than violent blacks? I know you guys have low IQ but do your best to imagine. Believe it not people dont dislike you because your skin, they dislike you bc the way you act
@@superawesomeminecaft yea as if cops dont provoke people to retaliate because they love harassing people on the street. people hate cops for a reason.
Ehh I agree about you to an extent, but they were def talking about the opps and gangbanging pretty proudly. That’s where the stigma comes from.
"a lot of us got pain, a lot of us had no guidance..." That broke my heart. Alot of those young men have great perspective and you just hope and pray they can get out.
Peter, you deserve so much credit for all you do. i watch your channel everyday when im at work on break. so educating, so fascinating, you have put yourself in danger...and you tell it all so well. Thank you!
The best part of this video, and all of your videos for that matter, is that you don't guide the conversations to an agenda. You always let the setting and the people represent themselves. Quality work!
That's my goal for you guys so thanks for seeing that Richie! And feel free to call me out if I ever slip on this front.

This Dude Peter Really Allowed in Every Community In Every Sunday Cookout...
Bruh ur name and ur pick😂😂
@@chaz2020 😂 yep
That's because he goes into communities with any bias, just open minded and ready to learn 1st hand
@@Alec-Al that doesn’t get him views
@@Alec-Al 💯% agree which is sad because i genuinely like this channel
Hi Peter, I'm consistently impressed by how you carry yourself and the positive way people respond to you. Excellent work!
Peter, I appreciate how open minded and non judgemental you approach everyone.
the only community this man hasn’t interacted with yet are the aliens
Working on it 😂
UFOs have been publicly confirmed by the DOD a few weeks ago, finally. So it may not be as far fetched as we initially believed 🤷🏽♀️
@@Watered operation bluebeam, notice all the reports come from the government and are crappy videos, dont believe that bullshit
Complete distraction, war of the worlds type shit
He never been to Mexico?
I think a cool series would be for Peter to take someone like Bwuan with him to experience a foreign country and hear his impressions on life and culture outside of not only the hood, but America.
yesss totally
Yeah it makes no point of documenting such videos and offer no help... He makes money through this videos so he should pay them for free content otherwise would look so selfish of him.
I’d donate to have that happen
Yeeeah
I really hope he does this
Everyone has a story no matter who or where they’re from. It’s good to see you focus on your own country and highlight all the diversity there is from one state to the next as well as from one city to the next. From London, UK
Gg
Ppl like you deserve way more attention, which brings attention to guys like this and their life stories. Ngl i wont survive there, cant bring myself to fight for life or death everyday but i guess you just have to get used to it, there is no other option.. mad respect for you Peter, you do a MUCH BETTER job than any other "reporter". Sub is out
When I was kid, I really thought this shit was cool to me, hanging on the corner, doing dumb shit in the hood, now that I'm older and have a wife and daughter this shit is mind blowing, how this shit is normal to the black community where I grew up. I wish every black person could escape the experiment, aka the projects.
being married and having kids is lame

Yeah that guy guiding them is super evolved IMO, just caught up in circumstances. A lot of good seeds planted in bad soil.
@@MobileAura really good analogy and so true
@@MobileAura It’s called social engineering by way of Mayosapien Supremacy.
Thank you Peter for these videos. I really like how you let them talk without interrupting.
To Peter: being that this is your channel, I've been watching since just recently. I want to extend a sincere thank you. Your videos and footage are just amazing and the things that you have to share with us at the end are of incredible insight. Your channel shows viewers a very rare peek into areas that we normally don't see, know or may not even understand. So, again, thank you sincerely!
You can't control how life starts, but you have the power to control how it ends. My mind is blown forever.
🤔👀
A lot of guys get their minds blown forever in gangs lol
@@funcooker3029 a lot of guys get their wieners blown forever in gangs too what’s your point
Exactly so true
Very poetic language indeed. What a lost talent !
Bwuan actually seems like a nice guy especially when taking about his mom and girl, hope he can find his way out of the streets, or at least live until a good age
Probably won't make it past 35
He could make it out a lot easier if allocating money correctly
The guy is wearing a $60k watch and Gucci
Priorities
Nonetheless, respect the guy and the hustle. Good episode.
@@daburnz2 I hope mans gets out too but it’s probably a lot harder for someone who’s seen nothing but that life, not an excuse but could be used as one.
What is good age?
@@daburnz2 he prolly stole it
Thank you so much for the subtitles! As a German, I have a very hard time to understand this strong slang, that's why I normally never watch those videos. But yours I can watch, so thanks again! Great work!
You can never control how stuff starts, but you can control how it ends... that is so simple yet so poignant
That Bwuan dude seems real down to earth and like he's got a good head on his shoulders. I checked out his music and hes actually pretty dope, hope to see him succeed!! Glad I came across this video.
change his mustache and he looks like lil baby
pretty dope? The language comes from the ghetto how did you get it?' dope means good? Just because you talk like that I know you drink and I know you do drugs. That's pretty dope
@@jeffrenman4146 lol what the hell is your problem bud?
@@jeffrenman4146 tf is wrong with you
@@jeffrenman4146 you are actually wrong. The word has changed meaning. To old people it meant drugs. To young people it means cool. Either way, youre still a douchebag though.
When Bwuan said he dont feel safe no where. I felt that.
That's the biggest take away here for sure
Ptsd
🤦
Where ya from sis? Prolly from heaven with this beautiful smile of yours. 🤗
@@reggiekaz4147 he doesn’t miss
Hood Vlogs is legendary dude is really out there for real !
Amazing video. I thank you deeply for capturing this young man's words and ideas - and the perspective of someone who has grown up on the reservation and has ancestral knowledge passed down by his people. I truly believe that many of the native peoples have lost their way, and it's very very sad.
I respect the guy with his clothing hustle, hope he makes it out the ends 👊
Definitely doing something for himself and his family. Nobody should criticize that. So true.
His music is fire 🔥
Yep they need to be prepared and showcase their businesses when these documentary guys come through not just speaking about their opps and all this thats just my opinion, but tbh the West is organized and they do help their communities already
Love seeing blk positive vibes
It's all about the hustle
The first guy has such a positive outlook on life I love it.

I had no idea your channel existed until now and this is beautiful stuff. I'm on my third video. Just watched your Lakota reservation videos. Thank you for sharing these stories this is what the world needs right now
Peter, your videos are absolutely UNMATCHED.
“Mother are the backbone…” I was raised by a single mother, I felt that!
@@vg1024 yeah I agree. Children need two parent households.
@@vg1024 "it's becoming too normal"
That's the plan. Remove the father, control the women and children through government and school institutions.
@@woopazipper because your father was absent in your life, statistically you will suffer from poor impulse control, manipulative tendencies towards others, lack good judgment. I'm sorry, it is not cool to not have a father.
✊🏾
Fathers: Am I a joke to you?
Compared to the late 80’s and early and mid 90’s, these neighborhoods are friendly now.
L.A. was a war zone in the 80s and 90s
Yeah. Now go to the south side of Chicago and that would be more comparable to LA of that era.
That’s true
Black brothers still ride on each other though
It was like that in DC too. DC was the murder capital 6 out of the 10 years in the 90s. MFs was killing like crazy. Everybody locked up, dead or reformed with wife n kids now
Peter - the stories you're sharing are so important. I've learned so many beautiful things about my fellow humans from your videos.
As Asian and African, They have cars and a good environment, but they live like animals, nice houses but like cages, while here we are, even though it's difficult to buy a car, it's difficult, but we know the difference between Human and Animals.
I live in an estate in Northern Ireland, and i'm always so offended that people judge it straight off the bat via what they've heard or seen in media, without actually knowing anything about it or the people who live in it. It shocks me how much people feel they can judge without knowing. So I love watching someone enter an area perceived as 'all bad' and take a genuine interest in the people who actually live there and the positives as well as negatives. It's important to hear from the people who live it rather than seeing it filtered through multiple media sources.
One thing I will always say about low income areas is that the sense of community here (and in any other low income area i've been in) is unmatched. I always want to leave my home place but living here I feel safer than I would anywhere else. Weird as that might sound. Here I know I have 100 Grannys, Mums, Aunts, Dads, Neighbours and friends who would drop everything to help me or anyone else in need. Our kids are so protected and our elderly are respected. I don't think anyone gives enough credit to that side of things when they talk about us low income folk. All people want to do is draw attention to gangs, drugs, single mums, whatever else frightens people these days lol.
Peters gna come do a vid of your estate next lol
@@lorenzojones7578 I wish 🤣🤣 everyone would be so excited that there's a camera
@Riorozen kinda sounds like you know nothing about low income areas 🤣 you also don't know where I'm from, you don't know where my estate is, you don't know what it's like here.
You just jump on and think you know best.
I didnt choose to be born here and brought up here. Nor did anyone else. We're poor lol
I'm from NI too and I agree

This is where the healing begins…
Convos like this need to happen more often.
I love the authentic communication between them. He is really cool
The more videos I watch on your channel the more I start to understand the people in these areas. Seems mostly good people in a rough environment. They want to be heard.
This is so interesting. I've been jumping from the Amish series to the Hasidic videos to the East NY videos and now this, all of their one big message is very similar if not the same. Respect each other, Live life the way that makes you happy (bc life is too short/precious) and build community/ family bonds. So different from what is generally communicated in mainstream media which is fear, paranoia and distrust from one another. We all might live different lives but we are not as different as we think.
@@JustMe-po5sf my man maybe read what he's saying and try to stop living with so much anger gosh lighten up bro
Message is the same because that's the only way people can prosper in communities with little mobility - but the Hasids and Amish are already living the message.

Peter I just found your amazing channel and can’t wait to watch each and every episode!!
These videos are really interesting. It must be a lot to try to understand and a careful walk. I like how you let them say how it is and show the many sides of the subjects culture. Thank you
Peter really makes me glad I subscribe to him. Peter you've earned every subscription and like and deserve so much more for bringing this content to everyone you're a better journalist than anything I've seen since I've been born.
Peter...I don't know how you find the people who open the doors to let you into their lives but whatever you're doing, please keep it up and stay safe. If you could, I would love to see you take us behind the scenes to give us some insight on how you make these connections. Much respect to you and what you're doing to enlighten the world to the real stories that are our lives!
I think they find him (as in reach out to him).
I was born in December 1982 in Long Beach,CA. My Father's family moved to L.A. from New Orleans in 1971, and my Mom's Family moved from San Antonio to L.A. in 1976. I've been to South Central Twice, first in 1988 and '89 then again in 2007.
In 1988, my late Aunt stayed off of 56th and Normandy, I saw it as its lowest point during that time. The Boys and Girls Club Centers were WORSE. I saw a nigga get jacked over $80 by like 12 Crips, and saw Mexican Gangs slinging Kilos.
But in 2007 when I went to meet my Father in person, it was a different story. My Uncle took me to a Bus Stop area in South Central/West Los Angeles close to the mansion where MJ died in 2009 to wait for my Father to show up, and I was told "Crips and Pirus won't mess with you if you just look normal and casual". I saw Dozens drive by heckling each other with signs thinking I was going see a throwdown, it never happened. It was more of a "Representing" Battle with each other.
I don't feel any hostility towards Crips and Bloods anymore. These NEWER Generations seem to be more levelminded and understanding to each other. Hell, in 1994, the Set that got into a fight with Dooky from Boyz In The Hood, the ABC Bloodz RESENTED Bloodshed and TURNED in and snitched on one of their own after he killed Dooky, Dooky's friend and Paralyzed his GF. They beat him down and DISOWNED him for the killing.
It would be hard at the beginning, but now that he's a big youtuber, they reach out to him
Don't get it twisted...Ton from hoodvlogs got him connected here. He's been doing these videos in LA hoods for years. He's the one who laid the groundwork for series like this.
Great, eye opening content as always 👍 amazing for me to watch as a guy from a small village in England who has never been to the States. We are all just trying to support our families and live our lives.
Agreed. Im from a twin in England too. I’m never gonna visit these places in person so to be able to experience them from home still amazes me.
I gotta show you some love brotha! You really out there in the thick of things! I being from all that appreciate you from the bottom of my heart! You are a real one! 💯👊🏾👊🏾❤️
That Breezy guy was a great talker and seemed to have his head screwed on good. Put him in a different environment and he would no doubt thrive. Very likeable guy.
Bwaun's speech at @13:00 was very moving to say the least. Sounds like a genuinely good person. Such a positive individual not to mention a successful hood entrepreneur. Bwaun deserves everything he has. Hopefully he starts making BIG bucks on the clothing and take it to the next level.
@@notalotawata the fuck is ur problem
@@notalotawata blatant racism LMAO
Hello Robert , how are you doing today??
Oh wow!! You met up with Ton??!!! HoodVlogs is one of the best channels that documents LA to the core. This is a crazy collab.
Your inspiring man, some very heartfelt words by the homie Guan. Got me wanting to live life more fully
"You can never control how stuff start, but you can control how it end." Words to live by right there fr.
Not always, I am a Auschwitz survivor
@@brandongonzal how old are you
really thankful for videos like this. Both those young men were well spoken and aware of their circumstances and really helped shed a light on WHY the problems continue in their neighborhoods. It stinks to know that a lot of these dudes really do know better but becasue of their circumstances and environment they dont have much choice to do anything else. I wish we could give more opportunities to more people like this.
Same!
The system literally can’t afford to have that happen, though; it would significantly empty jail and prison cells, leaving the many who profit off them being full broke. The system has to keep that pipeline open.
And a lot of these “activists,“ as some Compton residents said in another video of Peter’s, don’t really help matters in any purposeful sense; only going to those areas to protest when a police officer kills someone.
I'm not forcing this but I have the most important information/fact to tell you that you need to believe in. We all are sinners and we must get punished for all of our sins by spending eternity in hell, but God sent Christ, his only Son to take the penalty for all of our sins instead by dying on the cross to save us from going to hell and so we can have eternal life with Christ and God in his kingdom. On the third day after Christ died, Christ rose back from the dead. Christ ascended to heaven and he will come back for his chosen ones and take them to heaven. God bless you and have a good day😁
Move along, people; move along. Please refrain from feeding the racists and trolls.
They has choice but they wanna be like from 17th century.
Do you really think we can't provide these men with opportunity?
We put people on the moon & have machines that can be controlled be reading the state of your brain waves & we got all the free money & equipment in the world to fight wars for rich people or bail out their companies..... Capitalism as a system prioritizes opportunity for investors, if you have capital people bring you their ideas so all projects afforded development only in service of established power.
The lack of opportunity is by design because desperate people are exploitable.
This will continue till we either actually become civilized or we will kill ourselves off and this have played out within the next 100 years.
Another great video , love to see the lives of real people , couldn’t be more interesting and touches the heart
I love beezy, I wish i can see more about his perspectives about anything.
"you'll never know who loyal, until you at your worst, and at your best" 🤯🤯🤯. PREACH!!!
Bizz was a real one - he's so down to earth and willing to share his info and knowledge, even though it probably wasn't safe for him to do so. Mad respect for how humble he was without any of the gang bravado.
Bwuans charisma and Beezy’s intelligence wow just both so insanely impressive
22:07 was the most real philosophical and truest sh!t I've ever heard. "You'll never know whose loyal to you until you're at your worst and at your best". Very wise words and observation, young man.
I remember living in that area. It is not safe for some of the people living there. You do have potential growth for the kids growing up there because they have seen their parents struggle and/or know how dangerous it is to live there.
So thank you sharing this side of LA 🙏🏽
If you're a young person and lived in that area, you should know that it's dangerous because these clowns walk around trying to be something they not.... These foos are def not real OGs... I'm from Boyle Heights... Skinny Jean gangstas 😂 doing an interview... Rofl 🤣
@L.S.A dude this is watts not Boyle Hights.. sit your wannabe ahz down. Boyle Hights is a wannabe joke compared to south LA. Wow.
@@l.s.a5181 You literally look like a wannabe.
Harder than It seems to learn from a parents mistakes and avoid doing what they did
@@l.s.a5181 "these clowns walk around trying to be something they not" Haha that is how it looks like. If you're into anything illegal you definitely don't do interviews.
These guys have to look over their shoulders so much. The latent stress in their lives must be tremendous.
Agree must an unhealthy life to be alert all the time ready to run and hide from the bullets.
They can always move, if Syrians refugees with no money, can move on foot from Syria to Germany, so can these people, and all they have to do is move to a different state or county.
Ya but no TPS reports to worry about.
They are sandwiches
@ThatOneDude 6969 Most Sudanese refugees are still internally displaced within Sudan. And people do make it out the hood and gang life all the time.
Peter you are unique!! And have a natural people's charisma, I am so glad you are we're many of us never go.
Yo Peter,
I'm from Germany and it's always interesting to see what's going on in the hoods like Compton, South Bronx. I love hip hop culture, the history of hip hop! I will never come to America myself because I have a criminal record. That's why I think it's cool that you make the videos and bring them closer to the world!
Greetings 😎✌🏼
Praying these brothas make it out. Seem like they have some good heads on their shoulders. And I the first guy needs to drop a website. I’ll support his clothing line!
His clothing line Instagram is in the description where you can buy stuff ;)
If he wanted out he could sell that watch, bracelet and necklace and move somewhere else
@@donnie1581 What if it was given to him by family? It could be sentimental. Don't be so quick to judge.
Peace and Love ❤️
They need to get the community right.
Every gang member knows how gangs started and yet they kill eachother over petty shit.
If people would get along and work with eachother you could make a beautiful community.
Many cool characters over there and they got that nice weather , palm trees etc.
It just makes no sense in my mind to be killing eachother over basically nothing.
@@vitosantoli1868 I'd still sell it...Real fam would understand....
"Money don't change you, money change the people around you." Damn I can't imagine how difficult it must be to constantly watch your back. These guys are smart, they deserve better. 🤝
How and what he talk really impressive
I believe that 100%
Money doesn't change you it changes the people around you, so true and well said.
Great videos. I’m hopeful for these young men 🎉
Your life is yours💯 -Hope y’all enjoyed the video #WATTS
Link your clothes if you sell em online dawg peeps in the comments would cop from what ive seen
Pretty dope documentary....post link for merchandise big dawg
Watt doesnt always have to be dangerous its the mindset of the community which makes it dangerous. Clean up your neighborhood and promote peace
Bro I need a hoodie
Good luck man. You got this!
Smh peep how he has to keep looking at every car/person that pass by
@@adrianthroughtime exactly, seeing the same car twice in a short time span is a perceived threat, parked cars down the block with people in them is a perceived threat….a mental note is made of all cars that pass by and anybody walking down the street.
Basic situational awareness…. What a sad world huh?
Good to see a video of upstanding members of society
Your name makes you sound like a grandstanding douche. Wait, you must be one!
@@am2pm804 and you must be young to not understand sarcasm.
Amazing footage!
Peter is an incredible and compassionate man that is trying to learn about the disenfranchised people and giving them a voice. This man needs his own show!!!
I completely agree with you.
He has his own show 🤔 ☕
Peace to everyone just trying to live.
Peace to every one who doesn’t wanna get chew on
Sad
Best comment
Trying to live? Wtf. They all are dripping gold, new cars, fancy cloths, LA weather. Actually they're doing a whole lot better than most of the third world.
Thank you for spreading love and not hate
9:19 The honesty man, refreshing. Respect
Damn you can see dawgs energy change when he starts to talk about his mom, RIP to her. Take care of your mama
Beezy seems like a wicked intelligent man. He broke down the complex inter-workings of the hood into very simple terms. For people like me who didn't have any previous knowledge before watching this video, I really appreciated his input. I hope Beezy doesn't let his intelligence go to waste, he has so much potential.
Shut up whitey
@@bradpace9908 n
Hes passing it on to his 12 children that he and his brother brought into this world and left with their mothers
Thank you for presenting these young men in a positive light. What people see on the news dehumanizes young black men. For those that never been to the hood, negative images is all they have. You’re doing good work!
The people they interviewed demonized the majority of their neighborhood without them needing to "present" it in some way. Not sure what video you just watched.
@@obscurousx1275 ur racist?
Genuine question- what positives do you think there are? I think of a brotherhood and a family for kids who don’t have anybody else.
You look like a white dude in your pic so I’m curious to know what you think
lmfao you want a pat on the back?
@@sotam8938 accept the colereds or else!!!! lol You cowards.
Quite the contrast from the Hasidic community in Brooklyn.
Love the Videos! Keep it up.
I work at a county jail, and it's actually easy to get along with a lot of these guys once they're off the streets. It's a sad thing. A lot has to do with environment, a lot has to do with their own choices, but the shitty thing is knowing they could be super successful if they put their energy into something different. Then again, a lot don't have the opportunity to do much different. It just sucks.
Exactly right they have to cut loose all their negative friends and everyone who is not going forward
Punk
Damn, no kidding...
Corey That's a good nuanced take on situations like this, brother. A real deeply felt comment- nice to hear.👍
the biggest problem is segregation.
I grew up in a working class neighborhood that was surrounded on 3 sides by low income housing. One thing I learned is that these kind of neighborhoods create bad circumstances, not bad people. Your videos back up this statement, keep up the great work!
Side note, thought of the old Eddie Murphy movie "Trading Places" while posting this, going to have to watch it again!
Peter & Hood Vlogs needs to become an epic collaboration for the nations 💯
I would love to hear B’s music and see more of his art.
