The coolest guys in any ghetto are those who educated themselves .....freedom

man i swear its like all LA hoods still stuck in the early 2000s 😂

This is honestly sad. When you grow up in a place like this is hard to scape toxic behaviors (gang affiliation, smoking, drinking). Those who leave are really brave because it takes courage and it's obviously difficult due to the lack of opportunities

Thank you for all your support and work for all people bro. Good channel.

Lol, seems like their life mostly consists of standing around all day.

Damn they braided that boyy brain 🧠

The woman at 6mins in is the absolute realest. There's no point protesting if you're not going to do anything other than march for a few hours and send out a tweet. That's great but real change comes from action.

It's nice how they all took the same day iff work to hang out with each other.

I'm a African American young man and seeing this growing up is depressing. This environment is highly desirable on social media. I Moved away from environment but this lifestyle is hindering our culture. Especially the ones how are for the gang life and not for the people. The gang culture was supposed to protect our culture from police brutality not kill eachother.

Isn't it wonderful how they all got a day off work on the same day!

Even though I grew up in NY I think the west coast show more love no matter your color. My bro who is now decreased loved the west coast way more. Big up to LA

These hood culture seems cool when on high school but when you are an adult you really feel lucky that you didn't end in some hood culture like this. I hope they better their lives.

I see why celebrities be living in the mountains lol

I'm from the jungles, and I busted my ass to push my kids to stay in school and not follow in my footsteps and by the grace of God it paid off, my sons are currently students at UCLA one is majoring in engineering and the other software engineering to work for NASA. My daughters are preparing to leave for Houston to attend the HPD academy. As for me, my wife and I moved out the hood, left for Las Vegas, both got good jobs, just bought a second home, and I'm happy.

Two years later, and nothing has changed. Keep that spirit up, I guess.

It's good to see that they all have the same day of work. 💯😁😁

This guy's whole vocabulary: you know you feel me you know what I am saying it is what it is homie hood and shit

If these people could stop trying to impress each other, they might be able to grow up and have a decent life.

If you went back in a time machine just 50 years you'd see kids playing in the street, mom taking care of the house, dad at the plant or office. Women walking their babies in the strollers, out to church on Sunday. As you get older you realize just how fast times go by. Fifty years is nothing. All these cities laid to waist in half a century.

Such a responsible group of go-getters! Love these documentaries, I always am left full of hope for our country ❤️🙏

some of these men are far too old to be acting like this, what happened to being at home relaxing with your grandkids instead you at a video shot acting a damm fool.

I loved hanging out with my homies drinking and getting high and in trouble when I was like 17 to 21-2 but I quickly realized that this would lead me to doing the same shit every day and not progress thats why I switched my environment and got my masters degree and now life has a lot more meaning, those homies unfortunately are in the same spot, drinking and getting high with no purpose in life. Your comfort zone is killing you and the sooner you realize it the better, those guys will never achieve anything by sitting on their asses in front of their houses all day, people who don't go out of their comfort zone never achieve great things in this world.

Keep up the good work 👏

The fact that we get clowned on if we don’t walk towards the path of gang and violence, that’s why so many of our people can’t break out of this cycle and then REFUSE to admit this

When can we protest what gangs have done to the community? That should the next movement

You have older guys out there acting like they are still young man they are stuck in time.

All your friends will rat on each other..no dad theses guys are solid! 😂 I thought I was so slick I out slicked myself! 😂

The blm protest was a clown protest🤣

I grew up in the hood, first thing I thought growing up as a teen.... as I will never want to grow old here. Now I live in a different country and my peers who still live in the hood have aged terribly and doing the same shit but with children. Nothing cool about saying “ I’m out here”.

Never understood how gangs do not realize selling drugs and alcohol to their own people is what keeps them down. Shooting each other because of a "street/turf" that they didn't even build with their own hands or even bought the land they live on. smh

I’ll never forget where I came from, raised in the city of Lynwood CA grew up to nwa and the chronic 2001 surrounded by my Hispanic gang friends and black. But come on there comes a time where we all grow up, do our best to get out of the hood, the hood ain’t no place to be, many of these people for some reason cherish that shit, keep giving excuses in why they can’t get their life together. Like trust me lol I’ve done about every dumb shit a ghetto person can do. I lived and learned, but I’m ashamed how many people out there don’t care about learning both sides of the story, victimize themselves so they can receive more, feel relevant for participating in a move that didn’t resolve shit. I moved out of the hood and now moving out of cali after I saw so much opportunity and growth in other states, and for some reason republican states as well, kinda shows how democrats use these scenarios to make those protestors feel like they gained power when in reality they just gave the president and state gov city mayors more power. They might have gained more welfare and stimulus checks, that’s why everywhere in cali now have hiring signs. Wake up cali, stop being so ignorant relying on gov aid, stop idolizing gangs and Hoes. All this fast money but no investment. Everyone’s got a choice

I was so confused the video title was 3600 miles from where it was rly filmed. But the content was dope

I’m so confused at what the temp is.. you have people in shorts and tank tops next to people in black hoodies.

I can totaly understand when young kids think that hanging out in the hood is cool and all, but when you see 50 year olds still acting though in the streets it starts to get sad.

They built the ‘ George Floyd Astronaut Training Center’ and everything calmed down after that.

Wish I could just chill like that I clock in for work at 3am 🤣🤣

It’s sad how these people gotta prove that they are somebody to a bunch of nobodies

They all wasting time and life on standing around telling lies to each other.

"They don't got that," "cookie n cream, " COOKIE N CREAM!!" 😆😆

“I am OG”, “Do you know where u are?” 😂😂😂😂

Bruh dude needs to just be bald his braids are struggling to stay on his head

As long as we keep ourselves DRUNK and HIGH... THIS is where we will stay. Dumb

These people are just entertainment for the rest of us at this point Like watching nat geo

That's respect g just another day

Stand on street coner, smoke dope, drink rum all day and gun ready. That's their life.

Gangs protesting against violence? hmm ? smh . what is wrong with that picture bruh?

Just a bunch of outstanding citizens contributing to society and doing good for their outstanding neighbors.

Happy to be here in europe. And watching democracy from distance.

Glad my dad taught me work ethic at a young age

*LA culture is a whole different planet*

these are some of the best business man, doctors, lawyers, a victim to the structure of mentality

The one white girl, can already tell how she talks. Probably like “CaSh Me OuTsIdE hOw BoW dAt” 😂😂😂😂 poor girl.

No disrespect but as a person who grew up in LA in the hood I experienced more gang violence drive bys etc than police brutality here...50% of officers here in LA are hispanic/latino 30% black rest is asian/pacific islander etc..people want change?!!..and I'm all for change yes we do need some sh*t to get fixed in our police department but at the sametime if u give respect I give u respect...we need change in our own neighborhoods..im an immigrant myself and my family we worked hard for what we have i never blamed anyone or anything I did my work and im still trying to get better I dont care who the president is or whatever like the kid said "PEOPLE NEED TO BE ACCOUNTABLE" for themselves..

Im a black man and these dudes do not represent me. and I wont vouch for them smh

Im lucky my mom teached me to be a successful black man

AWWW SUP CUZ CUZINS👀💙 MY LIL GIRLS ARE BAD😂😂

Growing up with homies who act like this and are always popular around their homies and the homegirls, i always thought they knew everything about life and knew what they were doing. They were the leader and majority of us were followers. I was always the one homie in the back quiet and reserve. My hobbies collecting sports cards, watching anime, playing sports, gym, reading books, and dancing were called gays by these homies. After highschool i grew apart from these friends. Fast forward 30+ yrs, i realize i was ahead of the game.

Imagine what kind of people they could have been if they tried to make something of themselves instead of chasing street credit and trying to be bad asses.

I'm South African.... It always cracks me up how American hood dudes always gotta give these intros to themselves lol... Like "Yoooo what'sup yo it's ya boi Lil Ducky, 4713 East LA. 3rd and Montgomery, all the way to the badlands. keeping it gang gang ya feel me...The trenches ya feel me.... You oready know, you oready know." Honestly bro... I dont know man. That's why I watch Hood Vlogs lol.... What I do know tho, is most these cats wont survive in a proper ghetto! It's different down here man!

9:30 “we peacefully protesting on crip”😂😂😂😂😂

They braided that boy thoughts

It's so crazy to me how many people don't realize that leaving the hood(and the hood mentality) is harder than they think. It's not a purely motivation or work ethic based issue, it's a mental, financial,racial, and generational issue too.

La goes wild n crazy and up in here the most lifestyle all constantly everyday still living in the best likelyhood.

That’s the one thing I do miss about Cali is the block parties w just yo hood💙💙💙💙 I love my Cali people the hood the bad and the ugly 💕

dude with the braids needs to shave that and go the bald route. it looks painful tbh

I have come to realize that the extent of one's vocabulary, is the extent of their ability to interpret reality.

I honestly didn’t think people still made videos like this 😂😂

This video randomly pop up in my ear while I'm busting my ass. And Im like , you have a whole KZfaq channel devoted to people doing absolutely nothing , nothing all day long , how is this interesting

These ppl don’t know how many enemies out there holding signs with them.

I knew I would get a *"free my lil homie/brother"* before this was over!!!

The woooooooooooo 😮(face made from saying woooooooooooo) 😂

They must all work a night shift, to have this much free time during the day.

"Let me Get my lil momma, Thats my lil momma" *gives him side hug*

We just got our mind blown bro

"We out here" Yea, I can't argue with that

Got daaaaaam his braids is social distancing for real 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Stand around drinking all day? No job? No skills? Man you guys so cool

"Two A" got me laugh🤣

BLM? No thank you, I'm good.

After 5 year on the east coast It's time to go home -CJ

I've never seen an ice cream van with such a tiny window

It’s not about leaving the hood, it’s more so about understanding the distinction about why the things that you see depicted here, are the way they are. So here’s a perspective I read here, and someone said…”It looks like most of their day consists of standing around…” and if this is your same experience, let me tell you. Things don’t look the same to different people, only what is common between them and their views. In that, your commonality would be “blacks don’t do anything all day but stand around…”I will just say, these same folk out here claiming blocks and streets and zones. Imagine what it would look like if you took all that drug money, pimpin gang banging and hoeing, money and found a face that could get you into a realtors office so you could buy all those blocks you claim. Then all the shooters and killers could be hired to patrol and protect THOSE specific streets blocks zones that you stand on. Then begin a neighbor hood fund that can support all the families in those areas that are claimed. It’s a stretch but it’s possible, and imagine the shift in the world when it happens…😎😎💪🏽💪🏽

I cry for my people so much potential wasted. Parents do better don’t give up on your kids.

Started my day on the Eastside of South Central Los Angeles in the East Coast Crips hood where LA artist Travis Ford was filming a music video. We could hear and see police vehicles heading out north towards Downton LA and Hollywood and that's where the video continued. People in the video: Travis Ford instagram.com/therealtravisford/ ValleyHiTrip aka MrSac instagram.com/officialvalleyhitrip65page/ Caramel instagram.com/ccthaadon/ HoodVlogs instagram.com/thehoodvlogs/

You are now about to witness the strength of street knowledge...

They seem like really intelligent and productive people.

You did a way better job shooting this than ANY news channel.. Well Done..

I’m glad you found your Hussle that worked in life bro..I remember the old vids when u first came out..it’s a blessing dawg keep it up !!! We love it

Spending all day waiting for something to happen, 99.9% boredom and .1% of terror.

Looks productive to me! 😂😂😂

If my dog really wanted to, he could probably go outside and try to catch a meal all on his own and take care of himself. But instead he just barks at me until I give him what he wants, it's easier.

Gawd..I would hate to live in that neighbourhood..I like my peace and quiet when I’m home.

"NO JUSTICE, NO FLAT SCREEN TV"

Everyone went cray

coming from London I just can't believe this type of gang / hood mentality still exists. over here our gangs are never seen, they're like night owls and you only find them if you enter certain areas. understandably everyone just needs a positive direction to progress in life, but these gang / hood affiliates just look very out of date

You know how to make them scatter? Throw job applications at them.

Ngl 2020 was a fucking movie it was fun and taught valuable lessons

La hood seems like a normal day in the uk

the word the day is J O B..... A grown man Standing on the block , gees

So funny when they shout “free my little homie” as if I hold the keys and will release him myself 😂
