I know when I was meeting with a friend in Toronto I was really surprised he lives in Jamestown (Not St Jamestown) and idk what all the people in the comments are going on about. I've lived in Detroit my whole life and moved all over so I've experienced my fair share of ghettos. Toronto ghettos are different, and even a block away there could be a rich neighbourhood but the ghettos are the same but unlike American ghettos, instead of rundown houses, it's massive apartment buildings with a shitload of small shitty apartments. That's why it seems nicer because the outside is maintained for a nice image. The gangs are as real as they are as in any other big city. So before y'all go on about how Toronto isn't ghetto actually experience it. You can easily go and take pics of Compton and people would believe it's a nice area. Just because it looks nice doesn't means it is.
facts
Rasta Buritos lmfao wow a stabbing at McDonald's you guys are hard as hell!!! There's been what like 700 killings in Chicago if you say nobody does shit there you're in the wrong part dumbass
A Dimayev Toronto is full of gangs. Don't believe it? MS-13 are here and they were considered the most dangerous gang of the world. Bloodz here to and many more. I'm not saying it is as bad as ATL or Philly but it's not as nice as most Americans make it seem
Mobitussin exactly !!!!
A Dimayev stfu
moss park has to be considered the most dangerous area out of these, despite the stats that show st.james town the area where most drug related crimes happen
3:55 that photo of queen and Roncesvalles is old asf like Jesus that shit brings back memories of before sorauren wasn’t gentrified
fun fact: weeknd used to live in parkdale
What u mean the weekend is a Scarborough man
Vern u dumbass
@KevinFromToronto the first track is " Want It Wit Us " by Point Blank - bad tune
also, bleeker would be considered part of st.james town
bleeker has always been what it is, i've been walking through there for the past 3 years.
when refering to moss park, were refering to the entire area that surrounds moss park.
Lived in both Regent Park and Moss Park as a kid. It wasn't really such a bad place, as far as I remember. Don't know about what's going on now though. But i think some of those projects don't even exist anymore. I heard they broke them down and developing the area. I don't really know what's wrong with all these "thugs" who wants to turn parts of Toronto into ghettos like in the States. We should be proud and happy we don't have anything near as bad as they have it.
well, i have to agree there, i used to live at kingston and g-way in the idlewood, i remember raids all the time in the projects there, gunshots at night, thats a real rough hood
There was a report released last year by United Way...they estimated as much as 30% of Torontonians are living in poverty.
no matter what country or city you come from, theres always ganna be some kind of poverty and struggle. so for ppl to call toronto dudes wannabbees, real talks, everyone goes through the same struggle regardless of what block you come from. i bet there are nice areas in Detroit, NYC and Cleveland, but no matter how nice that area is, there's ALWAYS ganna be a hood, or block on the other side.
Bigggg!
Nice Video Mayne
Point Blank - BIG TUNE
kids playing just says that the people who live in regent park respect the youth and want them to grow up proper. just because kids are outside at night doesn't change the poverty rate, the look of something doesn't make it ghetto, ghetto is a mentality.
Every single one of these areas is gentrified
Cabbage Town??? Get serious man, that's a nice neighborhood! Expensive too!!
@oobnick "There's no area int he GTA I would feel uneasy in" Take a trip to Jane/Finch or Cateraqui or Teesdale or Warden/Danforth or Regent Park (back in the day) etc etc. at about 2am.
Every city has kids that act hard...and yeah, Canada is a safe country no doubt, but when you live in Toronto, where most of the kids dying on the streets are black and there's still racial profiling by the police force, it's a different story.
Im in Maryland...How was any of this "hood"...Looks like regular apartment neighborhoods to me...
@coyle7789 yeah man I used to live in the burbs and there were def parts of Philly I just wouldn't go to.. North Philly still scares the shit out of me. I live in the Toronto area now and even the worst parts aren't half as bad as many parts of Philly.
I was born in Regent Park it isnt that bad if you know who to connect with and who not to, its called common sense and feeling peoples vibes, now a days snakes are the first to call you Homie or Bro, Real Shit 100
whores is not the only thing going on in cabbagetown, it sounds like a nice name and that.
but really alot of dirt goes down there, there are gangs repping that hood, and to be honest its almost like being in regent.
but on the other hand just about every area in toronto is rough now, if you have any involvement in "the game" you know that.
Maybe he went to a library,Toronto Public Libraries all have free public internet access.
Regent Park North and Regent Park South are gone now. Check my video "Toronto's Original Ghetto" to see what it looks like now. They've built an Aquatic Centre and a park, and they're building mixed-income condos where the projects used to be.
Whats the song from Regent To Cabbage town?
this looks like the hoods I visited near Paris... nothing like the Bronx.
alright yo i live downtown.. and you basically got the hoods.. but cabbagetown is not ahood at all.. RP obviously Jungle yes Parkdale.. and i never even heard on don mount.. but if youre talking about hoods that pop off... theres only a few there.. some real shit
some of these areas are similar to places in England where I am from
toronto, winnipeg, halifax, montreal, london, edmonton, a little in calgary and vancouver..
where in brampton are they at ? i heard of some program 2 relocate ppl
I'm from Australia. Why does Canada have so many boring brick buildings? Many apartment buildings look the same like in Korea or Russia? Even in the "nice" parts. To Australians, Canada is very boring.
Canada is beautiful. What you probably saw was 1.5 mill condos. We have mansions galore. We have the most beautiful country in the world. Australia is very boring, you can hardly understand the people. B O R I N G
Chloe wilson Thanks for the explanation but not buying it. Been to Vancouver and seen all the druggies and dealers.... and Montreal and seen all the rude french and people who don't shave under their pits. Mansions everywhere? I saw tiny little bungalows more than anything. I saw more mansions in 5 minutes in San Diego than I saw in my entire two weeks in BORING Canada. And don't call my country boring. If Australia is so boring then why do so many tourist choose to come here rather than your ugly nation where it is cloudy and winter for 8-10 months out of the year.
Trevor C We have 4 seasons idiot. Yes if you lived near the North Pole then yes it would be cold. What are you an arm pit freak, oh my. You probably smell them too to get off. Think people don't flock to Canada to see its beauty. Niagara Falls is packed 4 seasons out of the year. Plus you have all those murderers in Australia. When are you going to speak proper English? You find it boring because you are a boring person who is all alone, afraid to mingle. Smelling arm pits is not knowing people and having fun!!! Why are you on this page? Oh I get it looking for drugs!!! Addict!!
Chloe wilson Wow, someone is on the defensive. I guess some hot Australian girl took your man. Either that or your Australian ex boyfriend went for one of his own kind and dumped you. And wtf? The North pole is in Greenland you idiot. Stop believing everything your socialist government tells you. Australia is better than Canada hands down. And you have four seasons???? Yeah, okay. everyone has four seasons. Just differently categorized. Your fall and spring are snow snow snow then your summer is okay for a few weeks, then it's back to snow.
Chloe wilson Umm, that's not me. I am the director.
the first song is dope
TH-cam Point blank their dope. Regent parks wu tang clan.
@pawel108 yeah i know right im from texas and its way worse this shit is like middle class neighborhoods to me
wuts dat first song called?
by point blank
@tazzz174 Apparently he was robbed in Regent Park. Papoose got robbed in Hamiltion and Chingy got robbed in Toronto as well.
it doesnt matter where in the world where you are, having that many underpriviledged people living on top of each other is gonna lead to some shit going down, specially when illegal money and competition for it are always present. Also just so happens that people who live there like their neighborhod just as much as wealthy people like theirs, so outsiders either stay away or come through with respect and a friend or family member to vouch for you. home is home and the hood keeps a watchful eye
and the whole GTA in 2008 had just under 100 murders, this includes the CITIES of : Toronto, (old toronto, York, North york, east york, etobicoke). Scarborough, Brampton, Mississauga, Markham, Pickering, Caledon, Oshawa, Vaughn, i got this from a website where it tells u were the murders happend there are more cities considered to be in the gta but i didnt count them cuz no murders happend ther
And half of the people commenting saying how toronto is soft and it's nothing please be quiet because I bet you guys never even been here if you has. You probably went to Niagara Falls, north York, or down town you people haven't came to the inner city such as Scarborough and seen what it's like to live here it's soo hard so don't talk shit if you haven't seen it
"It's soo hard" lmao please, you got it better than 85% of the entire world population
Dyania Harding Scarborough the inner city? It's country as fuck.
bitch shut your corny ass up *eh*
Dyania Harding come to driftwood or Scarborough I live g way aka Galloway very bad here we beefin with Vern niggas and they lives few blocks away lol
Lol I live in Scarborough. It's fine here lol. It just really depends in where you are. There could be the most ghetto LOOKING block and then five houses down it's like the rich family homes. And just based off looks, it's hard to tell the sketchy people from the normal...
Hey guys where do you guys get this soundtrack from?
@bilburn your 100% right..i got family all over the usa and some of the projects there you can tell they are projects over here in canada they just look like regular ndigbourhoods
these guys live better then a lot of other people in the city.
thats because theres alot of people in jail right now.. there has been alot of raids in the last 2-3 years.. so i mean there jail sentences dont last long.. and besides murders... theres something like 300 shootings and 150 stabbings ... plus if you include the gta in torontos murders.. its something like 150...
lemme just set the point that property crime is higher in canada while violent crime is higher in the states.
downtown makes sense to be the real hood...its funny how jane n finch is like 10 mins away from all the rich areas like woodbridge...thornhill..richmounthill...north york downsview area..
lmao...where are your sources?
does newun kno de songz in dis vid?
if some of the comments below dont make sense its because the person who uploaded this video seems to like to delete the negative comments made to this video
ye bra i neva been down dat way, but still the dirt dat go down out here is real dog. ive lived in toronto since i was 18, and got made respect for the land and the people around here.
good point
where is sectoin 6 ??
u missed all the hoods on the east side of downtown
cause people that are in music from regent park
yes they have
@coyle7789 i been through the hoods of oakland, san fran, LA, san diego, houston, new orleans, chicago, detroit, nyc, wash dc, seattle, boston, baltimore, atlanta, pittsburgh, minneapolis/ st paul.....and i am from cleveland. the illest though, would have to be north philly, the badlands. i scored some tight weed there but man was i on high alert!!
@lifesfinallgoodagain U forgot to add the Chi or u ain't never been to the Chi?
What a nice place come check out nyc then will talk ok papi
why does everyone in toronto act so hard?? its the safest city in north america. Ive lived in toronto and vancouver and straight up vancouver is way harder.
dun know parkdale all day everyday
I had a friend in bay mills 😅😅😅
@wikkidie Ive lived in the ghetto of hamilton. Barton and James North, aint that bad compared to my uncles apartment in DC.
want it with us by Point Blank reppin regent
Yo who's singing?
Rihanna
Damn Regent Park looks like Queensbridge
The rich people don't understand the things that happen in toronto. Neither do the people that have never been there. Regent park is fucked
Yes. America does have it tougher than most countries with ghettos but ghettos aren't people selling drugs, shooting or whatever it's mostly for poor people I mean like people who are unemployed, who can't afford things and every country has this and every country has a ghetto it's just that other countries have it more rough than others
Yes cause im from winston salem nc but luckily I was raised in a suburban neighborhood an didn't have to go through dat but when I was 11 yrs old me an my older brotha an sista had moved to dis rough lookin neighborhood but fortunately it wasn't gun violence an drugs but I can definitely agree witcha 😎
i disagree. i used to walk through moss park at night a lot, several times a week alone, all year round and never had any trouble. ive been in some of the buildings too. when i lived at dundas/sherbourne bradley court apartments it was a zoo man. bleeker and wellesley is bad too.
Cabbage town look like the only real hood out there 😂
st james towné cabbagetown prety much the same thing tho
name of songs?
I completely agree with you man, I came to Canada 10 years ago, and let me tell you....sure there is shit going on as in every city but compared to other places like, third world countries, Canada provides the tools at a much higher level than most countries for you, some countries don't even have jobs!! if only people could travel. On a side note sure ther's a lot of room for improvement but don't loose yourself in group mentality its all about the individual and provide for yourself.
Where is Malvern??? Nelson/Sheppard and Flemo Park? Don Mills/Eglinton goes hard. And JAMAICA TOWN!? Eglinton West?
Tarring down the block 1981 born
Couldnt agree more
St james town bleecker all day big up
@sEby146 Hamilton is soft, but what does that say about a "hood" rapper getting robbed in soft area? How would he make out in the real bad places of Canada.
Canada vs UK hoods?
Vs us hoods
scared of the u.s.?
My dad use to work at that coffe time at 3:54
canadian hoods generally provide healthcare and free daycare....
1:16 ive visited that place alot. My aunts place
These guys live better then me
st James to da fullest
As a Torontonian, I can say these are no "ghettos" or "hoods". You're showing "lower" income areas but by other countries' standards, these photos show nothing but decent, above average living. I urge you to do a little more research before you label these "ghettos". Having lived in North Philly for a good decade, and travelling around poverty stricken cities in Asia and Central America for work, even the poorest areas in Canada (eg. East Hastings in Vancouver, Winnipeg, Jane and Finch or Scarborough in Toronto) are not even CLOSE to what I've seen elsewhere.
orangewedges lower income areas is what the hood is though..
@bilburn That's what I was thinking, I'm down in Florida near Miami, this shit looks like paradise compared to what you can see down here. Miami hoods look like War torn Iraq.
Yall need to clean your neighborhoods up. You should organize a community clean up day/
What about the other hoods. I lived in brooklyn now I live in alexandra park
there both ruff blocks. A better way to respond to your comment is don't judge these places by there looks or what people tell you judge them when you actually live their.
@NVevan WHAT?
when will rap end?? its always the same
@bullsfan102 free day care? you're dreaming.
type in "Detroit- the real hood" if u wanna see the real hood
point blank and mayhem need 2 be marketed in a bigger way...lookin' 4 t.dot hip hop on utube mostly shows califrate & gangis khan (blah)..& all i hear on commercial radio is kardy...some1 invest in these dudes..they real
Ur not addressing the problem. u said ur same boss had 2 AVOID these places 2 become a success. No one says u cant make it in the city, they're saying coming from the same environments others have a choice 2 avoid, it's damn harder than the average. What about those who can't avoid these areas? Kids aren't asked 2 be raised around drugs/violence, but when they become a part of the 'norm' in their community, THEY r the 1s made 2 bare the cross as if THEY started the cycle. Bs/Cs r jus symptoms.
You mean 800,000+
lol thats the hood it looks like farmington in michigan
all toronto man i know all those blocks
2:00 my old crib
Im from tdot born and raised but I've been to Pitkin Ave, Brooklyn a couple of times and compare to there we got it good. Also I would like to point out 4:20, I use to live in that building and all ppl that dont know it's not a ghetto trust me that's fake.
let's all argue about whose poorest.. you're all whack. it's about getting out, but half y'all talking ain't never been in.
no disrespect to everybody in regent par
...but 4-5 years from now...regent park housing projects will be gone
and they gon turn them into condo's and stuff
"Well in order to improve yourself you need to see someone who is better then you and who has been in that situation and has suceeded."
NO SHIT! THAT'S d MAIN reason y sum youths look up 2 50 Cent rather than their local polititian. Kids aren't lookin @ themselves as "victims" they look @ it like polititians/grownups lie/cheat/steal 2 get ahead, so y should they stay sr8? Kids rn't dum, they real observant. They're getting ahead by ANY means, isn't that what big corps/polititians do?
Dis song takes me back but hell aint nuthin compared to detroit. Still it aint soft as shit tho i saw raw niggaz with gats before n im like shit.
U shud jus b grateful they didn't harm her....cuz if u were smart ud kno that most robbery outcomes don't end peacefully!
Where is Flemo Park??? STAND UP!
