I would visit this place only because of stars like dre and snoop and others, you grow up listening to the music, you grow up watching these compton folk go from rags to multi milionaires and you can feel the pain of their upbringing in these neighbourhoods so it makes sense to go check it out. Respect.

Ive walked past this dude everyday for over a year, I didn't know it was a hood tour, lmfao

@mandagray7320 6 жыл бұрын

Have a serious question, what if someone wanted to come, not for a tour, or to "look" but to give the little ones books, clothes and so on. Just to be there for them and so on. Only, asking bc I am watching The Game, and he is talking about foster children, they are the ones I want to give and help. I know all too well about the system

@Abraham Shekelbergstien what makes you think kids from the hood don't want an education ?

@andreaherron968 5 жыл бұрын

@Mick Rice well I have to disagree with you on that I've seen a large amount of black kids starting their own businesses, graduating from high School or college with high honors, young black kids starting their own businesses , we even have a black miss teen of America

@andreaherron968 5 жыл бұрын

@Mick Rice sad thinking on your part but your beliefs are yours . Being financially responsible has nothing to do with race over compensating for a lifestyle you really can't afford is the issue there and there are whites as well as blacks who have done that as well

@andreaherron968 5 жыл бұрын

@Mick Rice i understand but as a young black woman (wife &mother)I'm telling you no that's not all we want . I am in fact working my way towards owning my own cleaning company so that we can leave our kids something one day. I watched my Dad work hard to own his own company so he could take care of my mom, myself , and my siblings and he inspired me to want to do the same .

What is compelling to me about this is what Hodari precluded to in the beginning: These [people] at these concerts have it in their heads what Compton and the hood is like when they have never been there. This was definitely an interesting take on "the hood life" as Hodari sees it, in the past and present. He tells it "real." Thanks for posting!!

+FoMoCo1 you know all that stuff about morals, ethics, and respect is all determined by your surroundings right? How was it that you managed to be at the top of the moral, ethic and respect stool? You can't judge how others act and say they're wrong or right. you can judge and say wether you agree or dont. but i don't think you or anyone qualifies what is morally okay or respectable or ethical. Prisons don't care who occupy them, they don't care at all. as a matter of fact neither do the people who run the prisons. as long as the prisons are full, they dont care who goes in. you're fucking dumb.

Those Aussie kids in the back of the car were probably too young to remember the LA Riots but as an 18yo at university in Australia, it was HUGE HUGE news. Everybody knew about it. He asked them if they are taught about "the hood" in Australia. At school, no, but turn on the TV or mainstream radio in Australia and the content is more often than not American and a product of the LA-based entertainment industry. There is very little 'local' content outside of news, current affairs or children's programming. There is a lot of British content but Australia is a VERY Americanised society and becoming moreso.
