05:29 Interviewing a guy in Brooklyn and his phone starts ringing with "biggie smalls is the illest" ... Perfect

Biggie Smalls as his ringtone? Yep, he's legit...

Another smart man who isn't on any antisocial media. Cool video, Charlie.

Real O.G from Brooklyn right here. No fraud shit at all. This is the essence of New York right here.

I liked when he said "Back in the days we used to knuckle up"

Bedstuy is definitely safer , cleaner and better.. old school Brooklyn was fun, but too dangerous and unpredictable

Thank you so much for taking me on journeys to places I probably would never see...Love it❤️

Thanx for publishing another great video, CharlieBo313! I always enjoy watching them. A slice of the world around us.

no city in us is like new york. nothing compares. after i moved i realized how unique it is

Keep them videos and interviews coming big dawg. Much love ✊

Neighborhood of Everybody Hates Chris, a very successful Tv serie here in Brazil! Hahaha

I officially left Brooklyn in 1985 for the military, been back off n on over the years. Last visit in 2006, felt like the ghost of hoods past. I retired from the Army in 2014, now live in San Antonio, Tx. Watching this video took me back and felt sad for my people. It's long overdue for them to seek a higher standard of living. As long as we destroy each other, its giving white America exactly what they want. Soon all we know as things are, will be systematically erased from time. As for me, my life is better. 3 grown kids, 8 grands, Wife of 22 years. I will represent the best of Brooklyn Bed Sty always no matter where I live, or travel to!!!

What kind of camera are you using? These videos are so smooth, even when you’re going over bumps. Keep up the good work

I love Bed Stuy! Such a beautiful neighborhood. And don’t believe the hype that it’s all gentrified. Nah, Bed Stuy is still very Black (largest Black home ownership in the entire city), full of Black business, and Black culture.

Finally, a man who makes sense. “We have to change”. When in doubt, “nuckle up”, old school.....

I'd move there Thanks for all the great videos 😁

My mother lived in BED-STYE for a minute when she came from N.C. in the late 50's (first living in D.C. for a minute). I still have family there.

The OGs always know whats up #Salute

I love Bed-Stuy! The brownstones, food, markets and the people. It get slams..a LOT...but spend time there and I think you’ll find the joy of the place. Some areas around the Stuy are a bit sketchy but for the most part, it’s awesome!

Told u CharlieBo Brownsville East NY..Do you have any footage in the daytime of these spots?

My old hood. Fulton St. Been to alot of places.....nothing, I mean nothing like NYC! Especially Brooklyn. We were born and raised right there. Bed stuy was all good. We had our problems, however I miss the ol' Brooklyn. Nothing on this globe like. Trust that sh-t! Not even close. We always had our own.....way of doing that Bk thing. Bed-Stuy, ENY, Brownsville, Ft.Greene, Crown Heights, always standing. Salute to my real soldiers from the late 70's, 80's and 90's! ✊🏾

"i thought bed-stuy is a little bit farther down" your literally at the southern end of bed-stuy

Born and raised in Bed-Stuy back in the 80s what an era.

Very insightful comments. Shows that there are some who recognize that change starts from within. Stop the shoot 'em up mentality.

Lol this was so satisfying to watch ❤️

No matter what city u in Niggaz gonna be niggaz ..

Great interview buddy

One thing about the streets of Bed Stuy I remember, in transit commuting, were some the murals of street dudes of the past. The 80s and 90s were some of the most ACTIVE and DANGEROUS times for the Stuy and the Ville (Brownsville).

Very articulate and well spoken, I've seen prep school white boys who are much ruder and when their phone rings would have been dicks about answering. We're all one and it's good he's reminding us love & respect exists in the roughest parts of the city

My Grandpa grew up in Bed-Stuy, 40's-60's. He left after he joined the military and never came back. I know nothing of this kind of toughness and grit

Hi Charlie Im from brazil and i always follow you man. Take care

Thank you CharlieBo 💝

Great video. I left Brooklyn in 1985 and moved to the south. Video brings back memeries from the 60s n 70s.

Charlie’s got me pining for the days of “Hookers At The Point” Lol how bout driving around Hunts Point and checking it out for old times sake. Lol

Amen. He spoke the Real about the change in our Lives,,Amen we Need that kind of UnityAmong Us,Black Americans💥😇🌏😎😎

Remember every neighborhood is someones hood but everybodys hood anit a ghetto.💯

Good video CB. You cover a lot of territory. Do you drive or fly? Just curious.

Good interview keeping it real

Bed Stuy broooklyn my home 🙌🏾🙌🏾 a lot has changed and still changing but I believe the culture and tradition is still here Trust and believe. You know a true Brooklyn knight when u see one

Mano ótimo video, deu pra conhecer melhor os bairros !! Muito 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These videos are great. but I'm not a native english speaker. would it be possible to add subtitles to the interviews

Bedstuy has become gentrified at this point

The people in New York urban neighborhoods have a lot more sense, peace and love for their communities than any other US urban hood. I’m a snow white male who has been jobbing as an electrician throughout all the 5 boroughs for 20 years and I have seen that the nicest, kindest people are the black people in the so called ghetto neighborhoods. Now, this is during the daylight work hours, I can’t speak on how it would be for me at 1am but then again, I don’t have any business to be out there at 1am, feel me?

Bed-stuy. Biggie is the best!!! I love how that guy talks. Sounds so chill.

I love bed stuy my hometown!! I moved when my mom passed away , too many memories!! However, I'm smart as he'll due to bedstuy!! Thank you love u forever!! Poupi

Fabulous community👌 what a beautiful place to live 👌👌👌

How is Ocean Hill area? Is it safer better than bed stuy?

The local brother being interviewed reminds me of the scene in Belly when Nas talks about "The straight loser type" dude that was selling dope that he gave that iced out chain to.

I came up during the break dance & rap era before anyone had a record deal. We fought with words & dance moves, best era of all times. The real New York!!

he said “we are social media “🤦🏾‍♀️💯

Charlie, if you want to see the worst hood in Brooklyn drive by Mother Gaston Blvd in Brownsville.

I subscribed to you Charlie 👍

No question Brownsville is the worst then east new york

I lived in a project in the Ville called the Plaza for 3 months. Craziest hood in America hands down.

Me gustan tus vídeos porque conozco lugares que nunca podría. Saludos desde Argentina.

You, Sir, capture what is happening in the actual and all in video moments and at risk for you and your interviewd folk! Captured...You deserve more recognition for your channel! Rrspect to you, as always, CharlieBo313...

Why do outsiders think new York is some sort of wonderland? Only if you from here you know 😂😂

PUT YA LIGHTERS UP!

He avoids eye contact like people in 80s/90s Brooklyn used to do too, even on the trains

I like how he says they like the old NY and right when he says that Biggie Smalls comes on

Hola desde argentina 🇦🇷🙋 agrégales traducción muy buenos tus vídeos 👍👏👏

Can you also add food in these vids? You know hoods have some good spots to eat at

This dude you interviewed ain't got any stories to tell at all.. This neighborhood was a million times worse during the crack epidemic of the 80s.. When you were driving through there at night you didn't stop for red lights back in the day

Some beautiful buildings

Much safer than most places you drive through. So much safer than twenty years ago.

Thats a real brother!!! Peace to all my brothers!! Much better today then it was back in the day!!

We remember Yusuf Hawkins ...... may he rest in peace.....

Yes Indeed I got to visit . Giving me the vibe of home 🏡 Detroit ☺️

you got big onions going into some of these jumpoffs!! respect

I would like to visit Bedford Stuyvesant. Do they have an Embassy Suites ?

East NY Gentrification coming for ya next.

This is so cool.

They need to harp on the NYC housing system asap!!!!

Adoro esses seus vídeos. Um show. Rivaldo- SP capital- Brasil

Yo *C BO* 👋 Be ez out there... Cool vid 😎

Doesn't look like he got much going on see a brother that ain't got much going positive ain't got much positively to put out on how successfully his poverty turns into wealthy.

Word that's my corner store on Chauncey. They make the best Hero's💯

much love to nyc

Those brownstones are beautiful

This out of towner could never come to Brooklyn 25 years ago and just asked a random dude questions about Brooklyn he would have been annihilated

All the nice cars and the buildings in ruins.

ONE TIME FOR THE BIGGIE SMALLS RIP

So is this where they film the movie Crooklyn?????

MUITO LOUCO!! PARABENS!!!

Thanks bro

Should interview some gangs in Brooklyn

He weren't impressed with that social media question.

Shout to Jackie Rob..Im from Smurf across Fulton..I went to that headstart by Jackie Rob and I went to Boys n Girls lol..I ont care how much they gentrified my hood.. I still love the Stuy forever!!

And thats OG talk go fight rather than go shoot at each other

Mike Tyson's from Brownsville

Exactly put them guns down & put up them gloves 🥊

I like new yok cool place and the people are funny to me. One day hope to visit

Nothing like Brooklyn love 💯💯💯

If you have not filmed these areas in Brooklyn, can you go to them if possible: Prospect Heights Park Slope Crown Heights Williamsburg Bushwick Greenpoint Bay Ridge Mapleton Canarsie Cypress Hills Also, try to take a walk one day.

That is a beautiful neighborhood.

Good interview 👍

The real question is....where he sleeves to that jacket....?

I love how he has MARTA insignia on his jacket...

That's my hood 10:31 after you crossed Atlantic and Ralph ave.

good month,good month to our boutiques in brownsville,good month sophie,i love you.
