Im from Rio de janeiro. Born and raised in the favelas. And when i watch your into the hood vídeos and comment "that is not that bad", "this place is good" it's because that's the kind of environment I grew up in. the world is full of perspectives... btw, You may notice that Cracolandia is surrounded by the police, and wonder why they don't do anything, after all, there is literally an open sky for drug sales and drug trafficking crimes. Cracolandia is literally used for real estate speculation, the police at the behest of the rich literally move Cracolandia from time to time, from place to place to devalue properties and when these properties are purchased by big real estate companies police move cracolandia again to increase the value of the region again. It's much deeper than you imagine
Well it’s a real hood in this day and age, a hood when I was growing up was hard, tough, poor but not broken. I was a big part of the hood life growing up and plenty of time in max pen, and a big part of my day was picking on and bashing junkies and broken people (you know the fn weak pieces of shit that now fill a modern day weak ass hood
Looks like he did that a few times, had that gut feeling and didn’t proceed. I reckon a guy like Spanian would develop that sense, being to so many hoods in his life he played this one smartly and carefully.
Mad respect for you mate! I'm from Sao Paulo, and it's been 6 years since I landed in Sydney! Got introduced to your TH-cam channel by my Aussie partner, and I always say to her "He doesn't know what a real hood looks like, until he goes to Brazil". Hope you can also visit the nice parts of Brazil too. Have a great time in my country and stay safe.
You don’t know what real poverty looks like is what you should be saying. There are people with problems everywhere. Maybe they'd look up to the guy wanting to learn English so they can escape their situation. I don't know. I just know where I live is an absolute shithole because of druggie neighbours and this man shouldn't be glamorising "hoods" but saying people have some serious issues in this society that needs attention.
I lived here for a while, maybe 500m from there, still in the place. Although it looks extremely bad, the violence is very rare and mild (unless you are actively trying to film the guys selling drugs) and worst thing that can happen is that you get robbed and I’d say it’s still not as bad as the rest of the city. This is because the gangs control the area and have eyes posted up EVERYWHERE. In the beginning of me living there I got stopped by a member because I had a big camera and was walking around at night like nothing happened, and once I told them what I was doing I never had any problems ever. The drugs gangs don’t want ANY violence because that would be extremely bad for business, and violence towards tourist would only incite more police presence and crackdowns. I’d say just outside of cracolandia is WAY WORSE because that’s where they steal (Republica, Largo de Arouche, Praca de Se (this being one of the worst spots for theft), Bom Retiro, Santa Cecilia, some parts of Santa Ifighena…. It’s a surreal place and very disheartening because some people just became near primal again due to their mental problems mixed with drug addictions, but this isn’t a problem you can stop easily, there’s an estimate of 7000 to 10000 drug addicts in Cracolandia.
@@user-po3lj6zg2e in Santa Catharina, cities like Florianopolis and Balneario Camboriu are super safe, way safer than many European cities... In Balneario Camboriu plenty of luxury condos don't even have security or a doorman because it's not needed... go there in the summer (nov-feb) because in the winter these cities can be legit cold. There's also a theme park not far from there named Betho Carrero World.
Mate, I am from São Paulo and I also currently live in North Melbourne/Flemington. I've seen your video about north Melbourne and I thought ''this is literally nothing compare to my city'' and then I just saw this video hahahaha Brazil is the real deal when it comes to rough hoods. Cracolandia is the closest you get from a zombie land in this planet. You are very brave to even get close to this area walking with a camera, most people in Brazil wouldn't even get close with a bullet proof car. Great content bro, keep them coming! Cheers
That's devastating. All those lost souls. Someone's sons and daughters. 😢 This perspective should always be in your mind every day to be grateful of everything you have. ❤✌️
Lived in Brazil a number of years and in case you didn’t know, your playing Russian roulette… people get shot/killed all the time just going about their daily business (not just roughed up) and it also doesn’t matter how big you are. You look like a gringo from a mile away too which also puts another target on your back. Worst thing that could happen is a misunderstanding or a wrong move that gets you shot (they usually won’t hesitate). I would suggest just asking locals for stories rather than going looking for trouble. Not sure is worth the risk! Be safe!!! Oh - and be careful around the police too, especially ROTA(in SP) and BOPE(in RJ).. they don’t muck around
He does not look like a gringo at all, and it’s not a Russian roulette, you can search many good places in SP which is way better than this shithole and the chance of getting murdered is 0. Rota and Bope are the most respected police in Brazil, Bope is a elite level police which was awarded many times and it’s not usual to see a Bope on the streets, it’s compared with SWAT in the States, you can’t see one on the streets. I’m sure you are not Brazilian and just want some attention.
I was thinking this too! Also openly saying "this is the area where thieves sell their stolen goods" infront of a whole crowd not knowing if some of them can understand english was crazy ahhaah Maybe he could even learn a few words in portuguese so that he can quickly speak to anyone in passing, considering the guy at the end kept asking "why are you filming" and obviously Spanian didn't have the vocab to quickly say "Sorry I mean no harm at all" or something to let them know he's just passing by.
it's a well known skate spot, people need to stop exaggerating how bad it is... there's a ton of worse places, but I imagine if you are coming from Oz it's a shock.
People from mount druit or other places literally have a whole house for themselves, everyone goes to school, everyone is getting free money from the gov. Yet they still decide to become wannabe gangsters. In cracolandia they don’t even get a name after they are born, parents forget they have kids because they are to high so the kids are just named “baby” and the people just take care of random kids, it’s so fckn sad
Few years ago, my wife and I had a day-stop in SP. We arrived at Luz Station akd I suggested my wife to reach the historic center of SP by walking just to catch the city vibe. What an error ! We didn't get into crackolandia but we feel the this strange atmosphere, everybody was looking and yelling at us. Hopefully, we're from Algeria (North Africa), so brown skinned and similar hair and faces like an average mixed Brazilian. I said that because, we're tourists but not looking so much as tourists. In Brazil, people used to talk to us naturally in Portuguese as if we're also Brazilian. And it's probably what it saved us. I grew up in a french hood, but I swear I was impressed, stressed and under tension during this walk.
Very smart thing to do and you actually need to keep looking over shoulder as much as you can It send a message to the 'sneko ' ppl Not to sneak up on you 👏
@@Viniriano what is the t shirt and hat he was wearing, it looked like a uniform it said "cidade de sao paulo" = "Sao Paulo city" was he some sort of official ?
Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety, alcoholism, smoking, and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not, in a couple of years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.
To be honest, mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on the planet and it is natural, they serve in many ways not only for mental related issues.
Can you help me with a reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. It is very hard to get a reliable source here in Switzerland. Really need!
Yes, Sporeville. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and addiction... Mushrooms definitely made a huge difference to why I'm clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He's 59 & has many mental health issues plus probably CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD knows if it is common for an obsession with violence.
You got guts mate. I was in Sao Paulo in 2022. My then GF's family was from Franco da Rocha, a city just outside of Sao Paulo. Never once felt safe even though i spoke semi fluent Portuguese and i was with her. She had to get the ok from the local gangs just so i could come into the neighbourhood. Never went anywhere near this area. Even the locals avoid it.
Holding that camera and walking around would of set alarm bells. Thanks for the insite, please be safe and your life is worth so much more then these unsafe videos.
Brazilian here 🙋🏽♀️ living in Australia! I’m so glad nothing happened while you were there, and thank you for recording this. Most people think our country is all about Rio de Janeiro and soccer, but unfortunately, they don’t understand the reality of our community in the day to day life. Cracolândia is a place the government has tried to destroy many times but lacks the support and resources needed to help those who could potentially grow out of this situation. The crime rate is insane, and you gotta watch your back at all times. I’m thankful for feeling a bit safer in Australia, and I hope this video educates whoever is watching and brings some gratitude to those who live in a country where you can easily go for a walk without waiting to be robbed. All respect to you, mate! Can’t wait for the other ones! And I hope you had a good time on the rest of your trip, getting to know the nice spots also 🙏🏽
Ahh no, the world's just turned to sht. It's horrible here in Australia financial wise. This is 1 tiny part of Brazil. Id still probably rather live there and I've never been there. Australia has been sold out and it's not Australia anymore. You're probably a foreigner that came here too. The multiculturalism has ruined it. Now fk off
There's plenty to complain about in Australia. What about how nsw health has them syringes box vending machines outside of their community health centres where any junkie can show up to get their injection equipment to litter the entire neighbourhoods that gets washed down the drains and ends up on the beaches for someone to tread on without footwear. What about all the meth druggies who turn an average suburb into a shithole with high crime rates and thefts like you wouldn't believe so that you end up paying more with your insurance. Then what do you do? Become an alcoholic to deal with the madness?
Welcome To São Paulo, Spanian. Just to clear out a couple of things, "Cracolândia" is the denomination for the gathering of homeless drug addicts, which first start in the 90's, exactly in that region you filmed and, then, got moved to other parts of the city, because the government tried to isolate them from this central area. So, long story short, there are more concentrations like that, not only in São Paulo, but in other medium/large cities and, as crazy as it may sound, this is not even close to be the most dangerous drug-related place in Brazil.
@@gongagong I'd say some of the most dangerous grug-related places in Brasil isn't available to the general public to access. It will be places inside the favelas, like favela da Rocinha, cidade de deus and etc which are primarily run by the Commando Vermelho, not even the Brasil special forces BOPE can reach certain points of the favelas. Most of the wealth generated in the favela is from drug-trafficking.
Hi Spanian, I am from Canada...love your videos. If you ever have a chance to come to Vancouver and do a piece on our infamous open air drug den called East Hastings that would be amazing....Might have to walk around in a hidden camera as the locals do not like being filmed.
The amount of Aussies I've seen in this comment section saying "Alice springs is still more dangerous" like yeah heaps of kiwis say that type of stuff and it makes me cringe, but you guys also do, yet australia is way richer and less ghetto than nz is.
@@joshhowe3477Australia is not richer or less ghetto than New Zealand, the worst parts of New Zealand are still nice places compared to alot of Australian towns
Countries always have good and bad the cost of living is not livable citizens can’t even afford food in a first world country I think people don’t actually realised how bad it is no way can most people afford a roof over there head here
If you’re going there, go into the hoods properly. Get a couple of hidden cameras for destinations that are super dangerous and then just move through it calmly and quietly and you’ll be fine. This was a walk around the problem areas not in them. Love your work Spanian.
Cracolândia (literally Crackland in Portuguese) is a popular denomination for a region of the city of São Paulo, which is notorious for its high incidence of drug trafficking and drug use in public.
This is the 1st video of yous i seen so far that only goes for 11 mins. Man, it must be bad, i can even feel the vibe of that place, the vibe you wouldv got mustv been intense
I think crack wasn't quite a thing back then, and the government was just making some of its bad decisions. It'd take some time to see the result (depicted in this video).
I am Brazil (FROM BRAZIL!) i CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT NOW YOU EARN MY RESPECT, THAT IS THE PLACE THAT NO BRAZILIAN WOULD GO EVEN IF YOU GET PAY TO GO, I would go there with at least gun and security! God bless Spanian, Great work /!
I was homeless, got into drugs, went into prisons, then i got to know Jesus, He changed my life.. Now i make 22k weekly. have a home, a wife, a lovely daughter... A child of God. HALLELUJAH
After I raised up to 325k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states 🇺🇸🇺🇸 also paid for my son's surgery (Oscar). Glory to God.shalom.
A lot of people say we are lucky to live in Australia and not have to face this dystopia. It isn't luck. It is because our ancestors fought hard against injustice and corruption. If the rich had got their way, it would be much the same over here as it is in Brazil. In The Uk the fear of an uprising led to a National Health Service and a Comprehensive Education System. Unfortunately, because of the demise of solid working-class action things are beginning to get worse even in England. Who would have thought 40 years ago people would be relying on food banks to survive in one of the world's richest countries? It is inequality in wealth and resources that is the problem.
I'm from São Paulo and live I Sydney. The first video I saw you doing was about Mount Druid. My first reaction was: That's a fine neighbourhood, and I don't know what they're making it look like it's bad, and I think that you can get a grasp of why now. But I got admit, you've got some balls, mate. I wouldn't go walking around that area with a camera on my hand not even if was being paid a lot. The chance of being killed for it, is way too much. Especially speaking in English while filming. For them, you're rich, no matter your background. You have new clothes, was able to pay for a plane ticket and speaks in a language from rich countries. You were in some serious danger out there.
Here's an idea do a Out Of The Hood go interview people who have made it out and made a good life for themselves show their homes businesses and cars, give the kids some inspiration to get out the so called hoods
Thats real shit, the people ive met who went to Brazil said you dont even leave the hotel after dark. Nevermind go wandering with a camera into the worst area.
Yo Spenian, I've been following you for a while! I'm Brazilian, born in Capão Redondo, the notorious hood in the South Zone of São Paulo, but now I live in Perth. Always wondered when you'd hit up a gnarly place like Cracolândia in São Paulo. Epic and super dangerous vid, mate! I recommend you listen to the album 'Sobrevivendo no Inferno (Surviving in Hell)' by Racionais MC's, the most famous rap group in Brazil. It tells the story behind all this. If you need something in my hood, chat me.
I love the overseas hood series, this is more like it spanian, not the crappy, PR stunts you do here. Keep doing these, because the european hood series was amazing
@@tkatrich3it’s not the size, it’s not hard to find a big dude in Brazil. It’s got to do with what he’s wearing, That’s a poor area and even though he’s not all dressed up he still looks like he’s going to a New Year’s party with those white clothes, making him stand out.
Bro you got balls or naive walking around like that, someone makes a call or signal and two dudes on a motorcycle with guns will rock up and steal your gear.
We got one of those markets in The Netherlands close to Amsterdam, it's called Beverwijk's black market. There is a saying that goes; "If you enter Beverwijk market, by the end of it you'll find your own wallet and phone being sold at the last stalls..."
He said “you can film there” pointing away but then immediately started saying “you can’t film me, why are you filming me”. Which is weird as he looks like a city worker, like someone who helps tourists, unless that uniform is stolen.
I got proper vibes ofbeing in Bogota around Y2K, the zones you just cant go, and no matter what if you walked somewhere by day you didnt walk home at night...locals or tourists alike. Maybe less overt drug use than what youre seeing. Cool tour, thanks bro.
@@Pandinha_au that is interesting, from what I read online, Brazil will not allow entry if they know you have a record, maybe if you don't tell them they won't know? It does make it more difficult though.

Cracolândia is a place the government has tried to destroy many times but lacks the support and resources needed to help those who could potentially grow out of this situation.
The crime rate is insane, and you gotta watch your back at all times. I’m thankful for feeling a bit safer in Australia, and I hope this video educates whoever is watching and brings some gratitude to those who live in a country where you can easily go for a walk without waiting to be robbed.
All respect to you, mate! Can’t wait for the other ones! And I hope you had a good time on the rest of your trip, getting to know the nice spots also 🙏🏽
Wow, are you high or what? Useless
Don’t ever complain about Australia, you’re kidding how good we have it
Ahh no, the world's just turned to sht. It's horrible here in Australia financial wise. This is 1 tiny part of Brazil. Id still probably rather live there and I've never been there. Australia has been sold out and it's not Australia anymore. You're probably a foreigner that came here too. The multiculturalism has ruined it. Now fk off
What? An Australian not spelling it "your"?!! Stunned...
Nah it be like that for some people, some blokes online even mock me for saying it like hat@@loontil
@@loontil typical Australian complaining about grammar
There's plenty to complain about in Australia. What about how nsw health has them syringes box vending machines outside of their community health centres where any junkie can show up to get their injection equipment to litter the entire neighbourhoods that gets washed down the drains and ends up on the beaches for someone to tread on without footwear. What about all the meth druggies who turn an average suburb into a shithole with high crime rates and thefts like you wouldn't believe so that you end up paying more with your insurance. Then what do you do? Become an alcoholic to deal with the madness?
Welcome To São Paulo, Spanian. Just to clear out a couple of things, "Cracolândia" is the denomination for the gathering of homeless drug addicts, which first start in the 90's, exactly in that region you filmed and, then, got moved to other parts of the city, because the government tried to isolate them from this central area. So, long story short, there are more concentrations like that, not only in São Paulo, but in other medium/large cities and, as crazy as it may sound, this is not even close to be the most dangerous drug-related place in Brazil.
What is the most dangerous drug-related place in Brazil?
@@gongagong I'd say Rios
@@gongagong I'd say some of the most dangerous grug-related places in Brasil isn't available to the general public to access. It will be places inside the favelas, like favela da Rocinha, cidade de deus and etc which are primarily run by the Commando Vermelho, not even the Brasil special forces BOPE can reach certain points of the favelas. Most of the wealth generated in the favela is from drug-trafficking.
What did the man say at the end?
@@chullovida6346don’t film me
Spanian looks on edge in this whole vid.
Can't blame in, the last video I saw by a US guy had a guide with him, who had another guide specifically for the area.
Hi Spanian, I am from Canada...love your videos. If you ever have a chance to come to Vancouver and do a piece on our infamous open air drug den called East Hastings that would be amazing....Might have to walk around in a hidden camera as the locals do not like being filmed.
Given his past criminal record I’m not 100% sure if Spanish will be allowed into Canada
Thats fucking mental , you know its a rough area when even span gets intimidated fark me. Good video as usuall span but holy damn
Aussies get it so easy
This place legit looked like what I envisage hell to look like. It’s transcended hoods, and is not about toughness, it’s a genuine health hazard.
@@benjamintomasz Oh for sure man, I thought the same thing. Looks like hell on earth
pretty hard to get an in not knowing the language.
there's also the fact that Aussie 'hoods' are holiday camps
Have been watching news from this apocalyptic place - Hats off for making this one!
4:08 train station looks better than Flinders Street
and whiter
I think any station outside Victoria looks better
@@Skybar23 Southern Cross is beautiful.
Luz railway station is definitely beautiful
10 min video tells me all I need to know
No need to fuck around and find out 😂😂
Some bloke from NZ will still be like, " Ah that's nothing Bro, come to South Auckland or something. It's way worse than that"
You a twat. Keep south Auckand out your month bitch.
The amount of Aussies I've seen in this comment section saying "Alice springs is still more dangerous" like yeah heaps of kiwis say that type of stuff and it makes me cringe, but you guys also do, yet australia is way richer and less ghetto than nz is.
@@joshhowe3477Australia is not richer or less ghetto than New Zealand, the worst parts of New Zealand are still nice places compared to alot of Australian towns
@@Jacobtheunwise that's just simply wrong bro
@@joshhowe3477yeh but new Zealanders brag about dumb stuff way more than we do, and they also make passionate love to sheep 😂
Thanx for the tour Spanian respect to you cuz that’s brave what your doing high five brah
Goes to show how good we have it here in Australia.. Spanian opening aussies eyes to the world ! 🙏
Yeah. As long as we have strict border controls.
"Import the 3rd world, become the 3rd world."
thats why everyone is trying to call Australia home
My comment was deleted.
I'll try again........This is why we need strong borders.
Import the third world, become the 3rd world.
@@elisskakaye9781 that's why we need strong policies on immigration
Countries always have good and bad the cost of living is not livable citizens can’t even afford food in a first world country I think people don’t actually realised how bad it is no way can most people afford a roof over there head here
Every now and then Spanian actually visits a REAL HOOD.... Instead of a lifestyle marketing gimmick suburb like most locations in Australia.
arse ...wt
Dont say that, you will offend those thinking they lived in the Australian 'hood' thier whole life 😂
@@Skybar23 esssssshh shayyyyy
@@raven4475
Why don't you go and record something
São Paulo is not a hood… That’s literally a skid row like in the US or Pennsylvania.
"You walk through that street you come out with HIV"
Me: 💀💀💀😂
If you’re going there, go into the hoods properly.
Get a couple of hidden cameras for destinations that are super dangerous and then just move through it calmly and quietly and you’ll be fine.
This was a walk around the problem areas not in them. Love your work Spanian.
The name of the area speaks for itself
hi, would you like a single peice of pasta
@@Sillygoober1945 single serving plz
@@Sillygoober1945I would
its not the official name its just a street name. just means crackland in portuguese
everyone telling ol spanos "this citys not a hood, this countries safe, he would never make it in a poper hood" well guess what boys, hes in brazil
Real deal shhh now
Who else thought ‘Crackolandia’ was just a nickname?
it is, its the street name not official. just means land of crack.
🙋🏾♂️😂
Yeah I thought he was using his made up language 😂😂
Thought it was polish nickname tbh
The land of crack fr
Cracolândia (literally Crackland in Portuguese) is a popular denomination for a region of the city of São Paulo, which is notorious for its high incidence of drug trafficking and drug use in public.
Im brazilian myself. From Rio
I have to say you got some balls to get inside cracolandia
Finally, an actual hood
Facts
Alright gamer boy
Airds and claymore were hoods but at least Aus Government isn’t as stupid as Brazil’s
@@Whyyoineedahendle not real hoods
@@dm-uc5vkwhat are they then? 😂
Welcome to Brazil Amigo
Says the ARAB 😂
@@christelledeo7528read a book...Brazil is a diverse country
I don’t know why you would go there in designer clothing I would dress like I’m a crack head
Cause people over there are too dumb to understand what “GANT” means
fully. Swap that gant hat for a faded puma one and throw on a pair of clapped adis and you'll be eets round there
I had the same thought next time dress as they dress it's much saver
This further proves Gant is garbage
@@musaka2022 I like gant
love from sth london , happy sunday
Head to Hillbrow, South Africa.
Spanian in my city! Damn! Never thought I'd see the day. Respect.
Out of all the places you’ve been I actually felt scared for you !
This is the 1st video of yous i seen so far that only goes for 11 mins. Man, it must be bad, i can even feel the vibe of that place, the vibe you wouldv got mustv been intense
I traveled solo in Brazil early 90s ,it was dodgy and you had to be aware of your surroundings.But i never came across a cracolandia area luckily
I think crack wasn't quite a thing back then, and the government was just making some of its bad decisions. It'd take some time to see the result (depicted in this video).
Love to see new content. Love the channel. Not seen a few videos now was getting bored if aussie estates. Keep ip the good work
Crazy bro,we think things are bad here ,that's eye opener
Australia is heading that way and fast
I am Brazil (FROM BRAZIL!) i CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT NOW YOU EARN MY RESPECT, THAT IS THE PLACE THAT NO BRAZILIAN WOULD GO EVEN IF YOU GET PAY TO GO, I would go there with at least gun and security! God bless Spanian, Great work /!
It's so dangerous yet Spanian has never been accosted once, ever!
Because he looks like a complete nutter. Would you mess with him?
He ain’t exactly a 4ft 2 chump
He had a drunk koorie girl try snatch his camera in Darwin..
Spanian is like 6'4" and built like a tank. I dare ya to try take his phone. I'll give you 5 bucks.
boy sounds like he's scared AF, like it's voodoo or black magic or something
this is really cool footage that was captured. Take special care❤❤
I was homeless, got into drugs, went into prisons, then i got to know Jesus, He changed my life.. Now i make 22k weekly. have a home, a wife, a lovely daughter... A child of God. HALLELUJAH
How did you do it? Do explain please 😯
My family have been into series of sufferings lately
All thanks to Renee Marie Harrison
After I raised up to 325k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states 🇺🇸🇺🇸 also paid for my son's surgery (Oscar). Glory to God.shalom.
I do know Renee M. Harrison, I also have even become successful....
I really need assistance
How do I reach her??
5:46 "Hotel" sign on the right. How much for a room in this wonderful location? 😅
Now that's a hood.
Fascinating coverage. Good job.
A lot of people say we are lucky to live in Australia and not have to face this dystopia. It isn't luck. It is because our ancestors fought hard against injustice and corruption. If the rich had got their way, it would be much the same over here as it is in Brazil. In The Uk the fear of an uprising led to a National Health Service and a Comprehensive Education System. Unfortunately, because of the demise of solid working-class action things are beginning to get worse even in England. Who would have thought 40 years ago people would be relying on food banks to survive in one of the world's richest countries? It is inequality in wealth and resources that is the problem.
Absolutely mental , Prayers out to those people 🫶
Id be fosure getting hidden cameras to do this shit bro in the future!
I'm from São Paulo and live I Sydney. The first video I saw you doing was about Mount Druid. My first reaction was: That's a fine neighbourhood, and I don't know what they're making it look like it's bad, and I think that you can get a grasp of why now. But I got admit, you've got some balls, mate. I wouldn't go walking around that area with a camera on my hand not even if was being paid a lot. The chance of being killed for it, is way too much. Especially speaking in English while filming. For them, you're rich, no matter your background. You have new clothes, was able to pay for a plane ticket and speaks in a language from rich countries. You were in some serious danger out there.
great video brotha love from Dublin
Man, id definitely be using a concealed camera doing this shit
Thanks
Here's an idea do a Out Of The Hood go interview people who have made it out and made a good life for themselves show their homes businesses and cars, give the kids some inspiration to get out the so called hoods
@@jackjackmusic your definitely ain't a winner
Get yourself a decent hidden camera setup!
glass/specs cam pocket& cap you can get
Only bad thing about being your size is when someone does have a go it’ll get hectic real quick, they won’t risk punching on
Thats real shit, the people ive met who went to Brazil said you dont even leave the hotel after dark. Nevermind go wandering with a camera into the worst area.
Crazy, i wouldn’t go anywhere near that place, thanks for the video even though short
That place is Crazy, Spanian You need eyes in the back of your head in there lad , stay safe brother
Yo Spenian, I've been following you for a while! I'm Brazilian, born in Capão Redondo, the notorious hood in the South Zone of São Paulo, but now I live in Perth. Always wondered when you'd hit up a gnarly place like Cracolândia in São Paulo. Epic and super dangerous vid, mate! I recommend you listen to the album 'Sobrevivendo no Inferno (Surviving in Hell)' by Racionais MC's, the most famous rap group in Brazil. It tells the story behind all this. If you need something in my hood, chat me.
I love the overseas hood series, this is more like it spanian, not the crappy, PR stunts you do here. Keep doing these, because the european hood series was amazing
stunts . are you educated mate? is that what you think hes doing? Bigger picture ..open your eyes and use your common sense ...
Back to basics with the vids. Nice work!
It’s sometimes more dangerous for someone like Spanian because real gangsters will take his size as a challenge and they carry guns.
I would think it's because he sticks out. He's a giant compared to the locals.
yes and everyone carries phs..what would it benefit? RIDICOULOUS
@@tkatrich3it’s not the size, it’s not hard to find a big dude in Brazil. It’s got to do with what he’s wearing, That’s a poor area and even though he’s not all dressed up he still looks like he’s going to a New Year’s party with those white clothes, making him stand out.
Well done bro!
Brave to go where you do.
Much love
Been past there several times, even going past this area on an Uber is terrifying and I lived in Providencia, Brazils first favela (Rio).
wow you made it to brazil, I grew up in the federal district (Brasilia, DF)
I would encourage you to visit the capital, it's a very different place.
Bro you got balls or naive walking around like that, someone makes a call or signal and two dudes on a motorcycle with guns will rock up and steal your gear.
💯 takes some nerves to walk like that in Brazil
yeagh knowing that people are watching ..I dont think so
Bruv going the places you go, you must be the most ohge on TH-cam. Props and respect adlay. Less ohge. You're the G.O.A.T. Brother
Birmingham, UK.
Doing it by yourself is insane
We got one of those markets in The Netherlands close to Amsterdam, it's called Beverwijk's black market. There is a saying that goes; "If you enter Beverwijk market, by the end of it you'll find your own wallet and phone being sold at the last stalls..."
‘It’s so dangerous, you’ll get stabbed’. Walks past a brand new BMW 7 minutes in, normal people walking by going about their business 😂
yeah no one dies in that city, its all a bluff.
Guy in the lime T n Cap was like "yea you can film but don't film me, you're filming me, why are you filming me, don't film me" 😂
When u doing skid row in LA? That's hectic
after skid row go ta png bruzie🤙
He probably can't get into the US with his criminal history.
Did oldmate at the end say "No film" ? 😂
He said “you can film there” pointing away but then immediately started saying “you can’t film me, why are you filming me”. Which is weird as he looks like a city worker, like someone who helps tourists, unless that uniform is stolen.
Yes, his sentence was along the lines of: You can't record, hey, don't record me.
I got proper vibes ofbeing in Bogota around Y2K, the zones you just cant go, and no matter what if you walked somewhere by day you didnt walk home at night...locals or tourists alike. Maybe less overt drug use than what youre seeing. Cool tour, thanks bro.
At Bronx?
There is hell on earth
Yeahh... Real hardcore amigo
Your are the best.. ✨👽✌️
Mate with a criminal history how do you gain entry to these countries that ban convicted criminals from entry?
theyve given a certain period within that after its lifted yor free to travel anywhere you please
Spanian isn't allowed in the US, UK. But countries like Brazil he's allowed. I've been to Brazil lots of times with a criminal record.
@@Pandinha_au that is interesting, from what I read online, Brazil will not allow entry if they know you have a record, maybe if you don't tell them they won't know?
It does make it more difficult though.
Now this is a legit into the hood 😳
