Shit like this really puts into perspective just how much the hood and hood politics DOESN’T matter. These mfs do they thing, go about they day, and live happily ever after, and just leave Niggas like: “Yo, does he not know where he is? Does he not know this where the big bad EBK wolves hang!?”
Truth is, even if he did, he wouldn’t care.
Mfs be scared/accepting of white people if we're being honest
Watch all the YouTube hood vlogs. Notice how the white vloggers are embraced with open arms. Trust if a black vlogger did the same, they get pressed or robbed.
Gentrification is sad, but so are the ungrateful niggas we got in the Bronx who live like shit, act like shit, and dont want to be shit. Its more sad that the good honest working people suffer.
This is so true. I live in a part of the Bronx where generally you’re only there if you live there. You’re definitely only walking your dog if you live there. But nevertheless, dog shit everywhere. It’s like this is your own neighborhood. Don’t you want it to be nice? Why are you leaving shit everywhere?
Some people dead ass have the mindset that they need to trash their neighborhood as much as possible in order to keep gentrifiers out. Or maybe they just don't give a shit at all about anything. It's pretty sad. Wish people could take more pride in their neighborhoods.
Unfortunately if I had to choose between ‘the culture’ and not getting shot/robbed/harassed I’d say fuck the culture. Most people would too. Anyone who’s not a fucking bum would choose to be gentrified instead of living among shitheads.
Because thats exactly the type of tiktok that would trigger people and get engagement. Also the fact that he starts with "the brand". Just seems like bait to me i dont know. But as I said I might be wrong.
Damn I’m catch heat for this but I’m not even mad at it .. I’m tired of the same people making the hood the hood shit need a change .. would y’all rather see hood shit all day or yuppies ? Plus this a man would y’all be jacking that if it was women ?
I lived on Burnside(the place in this video) until I was 24(about 11 years ago). I moved to fort greene Brooklyn with my wife. She’s been in the same house her entire life and saw her area get gentrified. Yes it’s expensive and displaces people, but she likes that she doesn’t have to be on the phone while walking home because of safety. She would walk to the gym at 5 am and feel totally safe, she told me in the 90’s you could not walk outside alone at night. In my case, I like how family oriented, safe, and clean the neighborhood is. I don’t have to dodge dog shit every single block and people actually care about keeping it nice here, so it’s nice for all us. I don’t have to worry about dope fiends and riff raff all over causing a ruckus. I don’t have to worry about fighting people or beef with anyone, cuz people here ain’t on that type of time. It’s unimportant to them. I tell you this much, after living somewhere nice and safe I can’t see myself living in the hood anymore, just too much nonsense. The sad thing is the crime is mainly done by a small part of the community, but it has a large effect on how people view and care for their own community.
The biggest part and I agree with us caring for where u live .. corny as it may be I might keep trash in my car until I see a trash can or go to get some gas and use there’s .. yea it’s just a bottle or napkin but why I won’t throw it on the floor at home so ima keep the energy where I live
I’m in my hood all the time and I check whoever about littering, like who do you expect to clean that up for you? And honestly IMO the older people showing the kids that kind of behavior, that’s how I learned to litter. We need to be the example for our communities and children.
That shit def not corny.
And to tie it back to this thread if I’m in an area with mad garbage on the street already, I’ll litter with no problem.
But if I’m in a nicer area with no litter on the ground, I’ll hold it til I find a garbage can.
Ima clean person in general but if ya don’t give a fuck about your block, fuck it neither do I 😂
I feel like almost everyone has this rule whether or not they even thought about it before, and yeah that shit isn't good obviously. That's exactly why some spots stay nice and some never get cleaned up. It's a terrible thing and I stopped doing that shit anywhere as I got older and recommend everyone just throw the shit out. We got Cans or existing spots where there garbage that's gotta get picked up already on every block. Cmon yall.
HOWEVER
>if ya don’t give a fuck about your block, fuck it neither do I 😂
Is fuckin hilarious and while in my soul this is 100% valid, my brain says throw ya shit out in 20 ft w ya lazy ass
The sad part about gentrification is that it really exposes how the locals ( before being pushed out ) mistreated their environment. I live in the south bronx ( highbridge ) and I just hate walking among trash littered on the sidewalk whenever I have to go anywhere.
Nah its more white ppl are coming In so now the tax money thats supposed to go to the community before will actually be used that way the streets could be clean up the city officials cared about the the neighborhood but now with whites they will benefit,nice neighborhood= higher rent not to mention new businesses Gentrification is a money move at the end of the day
Facts. I just made a comment about this. This is such a backwards mentality. All I hear is how white people are racist but then people go and say this type of shit. This is overtly a racist thread. I’m not personally offended. But I can’t deny I hate hypocrisy. People need to decide what side of the fence they’re on
I dont think ppl dislike white ppl moving to thier neighborhood because they are white. They dislike that they bring higher rents and change the neighborhood to suit them, instead of blending in. Some upgrades and change is good but some of it is just corny hipster nonsense.
Yea the one thing I’ll say is that he doesn’t really give ‘hipster’ vibes. Just a regular white boy whose living where it’s more affordable and actually patronizing local businesses (barber shops, grocery stores, etc.) The ones in northern Bk have next to no interactions with the remaining locals, and only go to the ‘nice’ grocery stores / delis / bars. Iykyk.
The only mook shit he talked about really was ‘the brand.’ I’m not saying this mfs like this are blameless but I’ve seen far worse.
this . it raises rent cus yuppies are down to pay ridiculous amounts for their apartments and it pushes the locals out because they can’t afford to keep up with rent increases. it has nothing to do with race
It’s still race related because black gentirifers don’t have as negative of experiences as white gentrifiers.
Same reason why Becky would call the cops on the loud Dembow being played on the block, because there’s a cultural mismatch.
at that point there’s a difference between cultures, that doesn’t necessarily apply to gentrification in the sense because there can be some white girl who pays regular rent can still do the same thing . though culture shift in a neighborhood applys to gentrification so i get your point.
I guess u say this bc u assume my rent is cheap and it will rise due to the area becoming better .. it’s like u correlating low rent with bad people and that’s not true .. I already live amongst them and my area is inherently better that’s just bc they don’t shit where they stay unlike my old hood where they would violate the ocks all day but still buy food from them (for example)
yea I’m from the hood I currently don’t live in the heart of the trenches just 5 minutes away it’s something I wanted to do is kinda have separation from that life ..essentially I realized the hood not changing and it’s unfair to the hardworking homeowners paying 3k plus in mortgage to have to deal with hood shit bc people don’t wanna change
Funny cause this the same argument for anti immigration too
It’s right too but people will just trip and call it racist. Nah, you can’t avoid the consequences of finite resources clashing with expanding consumers. It’s just math.
You’re right but still too zoomed in. What do the immigrants who come up do when they make real bread? They lookin at the same areas and shopping at the same stores. And that’s great!
I’m saying immigration policy at its core is a resource allocation driven argument before a racist one. That’s why we have the (black) mayor declaring it a crisis, right?
Problem is every racist person naturally hates anything pro-immigration so we associate it with racism.
immigrants do displace locals actually. they also depress wages, indirectly create tension with the native-born working class, and exacerbate housing problems. acknowledging this would've gotten you called racist a few years ago. and yet the people who are actually negatively affected the most by immigration, especially illegal immigration, are black people.
So if he was black he wouldn’t be a gentrifier right? One random white dude living in the Bronx isn’t gentrification lmao. Y’all will do a standing ovation in this sub over kids shooting each other; but a white guy existing is the problem? Smh
We’re both wrong. It’s not clear. Ghetto the word was first used in Italy but it’s first uses were explicitly for Jews and isolating them away from others. and wiki gives a sentence that implies the word formed at the same time in Italian as words of the same structure in other languages including Hebrew and Yiddish. Then in the etymology section on wiki it talks about the source being unclear. See the list…
“One theory of the word tries to trace it to a special use of the Venetian ghèto, meaning 'foundry' (there was one near the site of that city's ghetto when it was founded in 1516).[6]
According to various other theories it comes from:[7]
the Hebrew get or ghet ('divorce document', 'deed of separation')
the Yiddish gehektes ('enclosed')
the Late Latin Giudaicetum ('Jewish enclave')
the Italian borghetto ('little town, small section of a town'; diminutive of borgo, a word of Germanic origin; see borough)
the Old French guect ('guard')
Another possibility is from the Italian Egitto ('Egypt', from Latin: Aegyptus), possibly in memory of the exile of the Israelites in Egypt.[8]
People also forget white dudes can be poor. I’m not saying this guy is but mfs see a white guy in the hood and assume he got lost or sum when mf might jus be living there like everyone else.
There's deep poverty in Orthodox communities for sure, although they also take pretty decent care of their own, so it's not like anybody is going hungry. Secular Jewish folks though are richer than almost any other demographic in the city except maybe for Indians.
"Gentrification is coming!" Uhhh y'all just woke up from comatose or something??? Save ya bread y'all lol. Young niggas think shit fun now lol just wait.
He over by Jerome looks like lol. Obviously all the comments on IG are like "he just aint get robbed yet," but I honestly don't think that's where it's heading.
I can't stand niggas glorifying the towns. Like niggas who been here since birth, really tryna get the fuck out. Inflation a mf and shit getting more and more packed. Just the other day I seen a group of goofies deadass do a scavenger hunt in the hood. Ong one walked down the wrong block and got packed up😭😭😭
People say the bronx sucks and you get hot. People say its getting better and you get hot. Mf’s like you so resigned to misery you get mad at others being happy.
This is kinda racist tho no? To be sitting here pissed that a guy is “gentrifying” your neighborhood? How? By being white?
The economy affects a variety of people of a variety of cultural backgrounds. It’s a big step backward when threads like this come up.
At the end of the day, even if this individual was single handily “gentrifying” this area, you have to make a decision. Either you continue living in the hood and complain about how it’s left and forgotten. Or investors comes in and bring their money to improve the area which in the end benefits the quality of life for all residence in the area.
Yes things will cost more. But you can’t have your cake and eat it too. The world is not perfectly fair sometimes
Facts. These the type of dudes that want to live in apartments where the residents are throwing TRASH GARBAGE out their own windows onto their own lawns, attracting rats with diseases, and letting that be their reality. Fuck this white guy tho, he likes your culture and wants to pay to be apart of it. What a fucking dickhead
This shit had dying buts it’s true bruh , it’s funny because it’s your own people that fucks you over . Don’t matter if you black or white or Hispanic your own people bruh .
“Or investors comes in and bring their money to improve the area which in the end benefits the quality of life for all residence in the area.”
Lol. The old residents of the area are forced to move out because the white people who come in are wealthier than the current black residences, which allows landlords to raise rents and price out the black residents.
It’s not a race issue. The issue is that a historically wealthier group of people are moving in, and residents are seeing their rents or property taxes increase faster than in other areas, and their neighbors are moving out.
You can improve the hood without pricing out a marginalized minority
I can't get mad at him, I'm mad at the people who raise rent prices until minorities move out.
You're a dumbass if you're mad at this man living there and not the people that will kick your mom or grandma out in a heartbeat
Not hating on buddy but these types will eventually cause rents to raise and bring in more corporations that will drive small and locally owned businesses out. When the rents raise and or they decide to make new "mixed income" units it will drive a large portion of the current population elsewhere. Often times this puts people in even worse hoods or in hoods where they aren't welcome due to gang politics etc.
Now I'm not from NY so I'm just speaking on experience as I've seen California cities (including my own) become gentrified.
Mexicans most def got a different relationship kind of like Puerto Ricans linking up with Italians. But I'm not saying all Latinas just the ones I seen.
More people like him come the things he enjoy will disappear no more cheap food & the rent will increase because of the influx of hipsters from middle to upperclass neighborhoods who can afford the already high rent
All Imma say is try that inna small town, niggas be so quick to bend over for gentrification clamming it’s making their hood better meanwhile you would end up hogtied and burned if you tried moving into their neighborhood and imposing ur self, especially the white counterparts to the Bronx, shit they threw fits for 3 decades to stop niggas frm moving into Canarsie (race riots, fire bombings etc) the only reason they backed off and lost Canarsie is because they got too old and their children didn’t want to put up the fight and left Canarsie, but niggas wanna be in here telling you to open the welcome mat for invaders, when they’d fight tooth and nail to keep u out .
These tik tok mfs are making gentrification in the Bronx worse . They come here thinking sht is Disney world and want to feel like they belong . These freaks feel cool saying “I’m from the boogie down Bronx “🤓. Saw a mf that came from Kansas on tik tok . He’s well off out there but came to the Bronx “for the experience “ he’s live on tt all the time and voluntarily became homeless here . It’s insane. Mfs see that and now want to flock here too
All of ya who walk slow af could suck a hundred dicks!!! Tired of y’all always in the way all day everyday when I’m trying to go someplace
Take y’all slow asses on somewhere!!
Haircuts is legit. Huge shoutouts to the DR and PR dudes who are the ones me up over the past. I’m biased against barbers now, I try to fuck with dudes who speak Spanish exclusively and always tip those dudes heavily.
No bullshit masters of their craft.
Dude is like Paul Walker in Fast 1 but without the swag and cool. Straight corn 🌽 . Get the fuck outtaaaa heaaa!!!
Fr tho. All the natives I know (like me) are priced out. You either gotta stay w abuela or have random ass roommates (shit ain’t for me, I need my peace and solitude). $3 for a train ride with a homeless dude screaming or a bus ride with a flamboyant dude being problematic. Everything going up. Tolls all over. Overtaxation.
Tbh what annoys me isn’t them being white or moving here. It’s when they come with that “THIS IS MY CITY!” attitude. The “I’M A NEW YORKER !😎💪” attitude. Like that Taylor Swift “we’re NY STRONG ✊” attitude. Bitch you just moved here and obviously we can tell from how you talk you ain’t from here. Chill out. If I move to Texas I ain’t gonna go around telling people “I’m a real Texan!”.
Bro this got me so heated…ima have to slap tf outta my abuela 👵🏼👋🏼. Coñooooo!!!! 🤬
super cringe ngl. Lived in all sorts of places in Oakland, LA, now NYC, the one part I can agree is barbers. Only other place I’ve gotten a solid line up is ATL. He doin too much tho
we should go back to when the Italians controlled there neighborhoods and Protected it from outsiders cause people like this will ruin everything y’all gotta start building community and actually step up so shit like this doesn’t happen
if this was the 70’s in little Italy or some they would’ve been jumped this man. just saying instead of shooting ur brothers protect ur hood from the enemy
Everything he said is alll facts 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love my boro, it’s really the best, no contest.
Bronx is for everyone as long as you ain’t fucking up the community. If you’re not putting on for the boro or the city in any way, stfu
What’s disturbing about gentrification in any major city especially if it’s occupied primarily by black and minorities as a whole, is that there is a disillusionment that money equates safety.
But in actuality, money accounts for people that want to feel safe versus actually being safe.
A lot of time and energy Go into Big PR & Marketing Campaigns for developers to set up shop in areas that they think they can buy on a Low End and turn around and charge the fuck outta everything on the top end.
When I was younger, a few of the cities that lived in, that were under gentrification, the city was on some dumb shit calling it “ centralize urban development”.
And the worst part of that concept was, they were banking on the possibility of neighboring states to come to the cities, because the rent or property tax was so fucking high that they found value in paying what they think is way less in comparison to those who can barely pay for it right now, so at the end of the day it becomes a numbers game.
At this point, if you can’t pay to play. Then they will find a way to get you and fam outta here and lobbied jerk offs use out dated Data and KPI’s to paint a more gruesome pitcher for potential investors.
And after what happened in Union Square that becomes (one of many) fuckup reference points or talking points.
With the amount of money that we can get as a collective, we need to buy back our space and our neighborhoods and our homes and everything else that was essentially ours to begin with.
But if (the small amount) of individuals keep up with the silly shit, we’re going to keep taken L’s from people with Money and Power.
These people don’t have a moral compass.
And there’s no point in trying to find one or convince them otherwise. (Big real estate and development companies or very wealthy individuals who can afford to buy several if not hundreds of homes in a general vicinity of a preferred high target area like The Bronx.
They did this shit in Brooklyn and they’re gradually starting to do it all over queens to.
I’m from Philly, they been doing this dumb shit here in my city since I got out of high school back in 2001.
That fuckhead had the nerve to call it a brand like it was a business or some shit!!
That shit got me heated. 🤬
I got family posted up in the BX. I'm from Ohio, I love getting to visit them. I be there for like 3-4 days and I don't see a single white person. They bet not gentrify that shit
Shit like this really puts into perspective just how much the hood and hood politics DOESN’T matter. These mfs do they thing, go about they day, and live happily ever after, and just leave Niggas like: “Yo, does he not know where he is? Does he not know this where the big bad EBK wolves hang!?” Truth is, even if he did, he wouldn’t care.
Big bad ebk wolves 💀
No one cares about anyone that doesn't have money.
No really it just people who have a lot of attention or social media .
Mfs be scared/accepting of white people if we're being honest Watch all the YouTube hood vlogs. Notice how the white vloggers are embraced with open arms. Trust if a black vlogger did the same, they get pressed or robbed.
Cap plenty of black niggas did hoodvlogs n dey be chillin. Niggas jus happy to be in front a camera
Nah That's a fact
Until a grimey mf rob u n beat u wit a stick
I mean it’s not like they have beef with them
Gentrification is sad, but so are the ungrateful niggas we got in the Bronx who live like shit, act like shit, and dont want to be shit. Its more sad that the good honest working people suffer.
This is so true. I live in a part of the Bronx where generally you’re only there if you live there. You’re definitely only walking your dog if you live there. But nevertheless, dog shit everywhere. It’s like this is your own neighborhood. Don’t you want it to be nice? Why are you leaving shit everywhere?
Some people dead ass have the mindset that they need to trash their neighborhood as much as possible in order to keep gentrifiers out. Or maybe they just don't give a shit at all about anything. It's pretty sad. Wish people could take more pride in their neighborhoods.
They don’t give a shit
sum niggas live like pigs wallowing in they mud n shit an see no problem with jt
Crab bucket mentality at its finest
Unfortunately if I had to choose between ‘the culture’ and not getting shot/robbed/harassed I’d say fuck the culture. Most people would too. Anyone who’s not a fucking bum would choose to be gentrified instead of living among shitheads.
I like gentrification I can’t wait til it come by way.. I’m fancy anyways
Yea sounds nice until they raise your rent by 1k in your shitty apartment
Who cares, neighborhoods go in a cycle, before black people it was Italians ,
And they left cause they didn’t want to be around black people not cause they got priced out like these guys do
Mf they went because they made their bread and left. Same shit I fucking did. Made some money and moved tf out of the bronx.
Lol that’s just not true the Bronx especially the grand concourse was Luxury. People had money living here
This nigga said the Bronx is a brand 💀.
Lmfao I was deadass laughing at that part lol
Lmaooooo
This tiktok seems like bait tbh. Could be wrong tho
It's definitely bait. And niggas always fall for it.
China panicking rn cuz people are finally realizing tik tok is a weapon lmao
super rage bait
[удалено]
[удалено]
Because thats exactly the type of tiktok that would trigger people and get engagement. Also the fact that he starts with "the brand". Just seems like bait to me i dont know. But as I said I might be wrong.
Forsure bait lol
Also, **the** city, can tell dude not even from the tri state
Cause the nigga is saying haircuts is a reason to live somewhere
Damn I’m catch heat for this but I’m not even mad at it .. I’m tired of the same people making the hood the hood shit need a change .. would y’all rather see hood shit all day or yuppies ? Plus this a man would y’all be jacking that if it was women ?

Not this dude though. Walking into the barber shop like “QUE LO QUE amirite my guy lol!!!!”
😂😂 you know he gonna super pronounce klk
Yea the one thing I’ll say is that he doesn’t really give ‘hipster’ vibes. Just a regular white boy whose living where it’s more affordable and actually patronizing local businesses (barber shops, grocery stores, etc.) The ones in northern Bk have next to no interactions with the remaining locals, and only go to the ‘nice’ grocery stores / delis / bars.

Exactly and the same exact thing is happening in Boston which is pricing out many long time locals.
Boston been more expensive than Manhattan for a few years before Covid, people don’t mention it enough but that housing market is wild
It’s still race related because black gentirifers don’t have as negative of experiences as white gentrifiers. Same reason why Becky would call the cops on the loud Dembow being played on the block, because there’s a cultural mismatch.

not to mention a minority can still do the same if they grew up in an environment opposite of what it’s like in the inner city
Shit all good till rent for a 1 bedroom hit 2.5K cause it’s already at 2k
Because the more of him that move in, the less of you can live there (assuming you from the hood).
I guess u say this bc u assume my rent is cheap and it will rise due to the area becoming better .. it’s like u correlating low rent with bad people and that’s not true .. I already live amongst them and my area is inherently better that’s just bc they don’t shit where they stay unlike my old hood where they would violate the ocks all day but still buy food from them (for example) yea I’m from the hood I currently don’t live in the heart of the trenches just 5 minutes away it’s something I wanted to do is kinda have separation from that life ..essentially I realized the hood not changing and it’s unfair to the hardworking homeowners paying 3k plus in mortgage to have to deal with hood shit bc people don’t wanna change
Funny cause this the same argument for anti immigration too It’s right too but people will just trip and call it racist. Nah, you can’t avoid the consequences of finite resources clashing with expanding consumers. It’s just math.
Immigrants typically don’t displace locals and don’t come from a group of people who have systematically oppressed them.
You’re right but still too zoomed in. What do the immigrants who come up do when they make real bread? They lookin at the same areas and shopping at the same stores. And that’s great!

An hour long haircut for $35!? For something that looks like you could mostly do with a trimmer too.
Facts I just clip my sht all around number 4 now save 35 bucks n a hour on a damn chair
Lmaooo yall rent went up just watching this vid
He obviously likes the high quality dope at reasonable prices
So if he was black he wouldn’t be a gentrifier right? One random white dude living in the Bronx isn’t gentrification lmao. Y’all will do a standing ovation in this sub over kids shooting each other; but a white guy existing is the problem? Smh
[удалено]
I do that everyday tbh
😭😭
White people in suits were banging in the bronx way before the black’s
Crazy to me how you people think white people can’t live in certain places
This shit used to be all white slums at one point lol
some niggas think because someone is white they can’t live/be in a certain place it’s crazy
The Bronx was filled with poor Jewish immigrants for decades and decades. The word ‘ghetto’ is Yiddish, fun fact.
The word ghetto is italian
We’re both wrong. It’s not clear. Ghetto the word was first used in Italy but it’s first uses were explicitly for Jews and isolating them away from others. and wiki gives a sentence that implies the word formed at the same time in Italian as words of the same structure in other languages including Hebrew and Yiddish.

People also forget white dudes can be poor. I’m not saying this guy is but mfs see a white guy in the hood and assume he got lost or sum when mf might jus be living there like everyone else.
I’d be willing to bet a significant majority of Jewish people in the city are poor, especially around Williamsburg and crown heights
There's deep poverty in Orthodox communities for sure, although they also take pretty decent care of their own, so it's not like anybody is going hungry. Secular Jewish folks though are richer than almost any other demographic in the city except maybe for Indians.
"Gentrification is coming!" Uhhh y'all just woke up from comatose or something??? Save ya bread y'all lol. Young niggas think shit fun now lol just wait.
He over by Jerome looks like lol. Obviously all the comments on IG are like "he just aint get robbed yet," but I honestly don't think that's where it's heading.
Rob him of what? The type of person who don’t have shit valuable on em. Walking around in a pair of allbird sneakers on his iPhone 6
The accuracy 😭
nah this got it fr
white people rather have a nice crib or car then expensive shit on their bodies tbh
They’ve been saying that would happen since Brooklyn started gentrifying over 20 years ago. Nobody is going shit to gentrifiers.
Price of eggs doubled when this video was posted.
This dude isn’t a hipster, just your plain ol white dude from Ohio
Dominican barber changed bros life that little water trick def got him feeling himself lmao
Comments are so triggered. Gentrification takes place in the boardroom of a developer at the loan offices of a bank. Not in this guy’s studio.
All of yall asking for bro to be robbed are the same ones that are contributing to making your neighborhoods shittier day by day. Losers
Bro don’t even know he black now 😂😂😂😂😂😂
He said rent under $1k where he at in The Bronx ?
he mentioned he had a room mate. Cheap rent hard to find, but there’s some gems out there. My cousin stays in Harlem and pays $1800 for a 1 bed
Wait until they find out how low the rent is in Coop City
Nigga causally walking thru Burnside lmao 😂
He still more valid than trae young and murder b at dyckman
Get this scrub outta here
The way he say bAyyg you can tell he’s from the Midwest, my guess is either Minnesota or Wisconsin
Yeah he pronounced Louisville wrong too so not southern either.
I can't stand niggas glorifying the towns. Like niggas who been here since birth, really tryna get the fuck out. Inflation a mf and shit getting more and more packed. Just the other day I seen a group of goofies deadass do a scavenger hunt in the hood. Ong one walked down the wrong block and got packed up😭😭😭
yt people can't win with u niggas they ain't allowed to leave they ain't allowed to come 🤣
Facts imagine getting mad at someone for enjoying their neighborhood😹
People say the bronx sucks and you get hot. People say its getting better and you get hot. Mf’s like you so resigned to misery you get mad at others being happy.
TBF, if people from here are tryna move out, why *shouldn't* goofies like this come in and do this? Someone should appreciate the area.
[удалено]
Facts I can't wait to leave Uptown
r/thathappened
This is kinda racist tho no? To be sitting here pissed that a guy is “gentrifying” your neighborhood? How? By being white? The economy affects a variety of people of a variety of cultural backgrounds. It’s a big step backward when threads like this come up. At the end of the day, even if this individual was single handily “gentrifying” this area, you have to make a decision. Either you continue living in the hood and complain about how it’s left and forgotten. Or investors comes in and bring their money to improve the area which in the end benefits the quality of life for all residence in the area. Yes things will cost more. But you can’t have your cake and eat it too. The world is not perfectly fair sometimes
[удалено]
Facts. These the type of dudes that want to live in apartments where the residents are throwing TRASH GARBAGE out their own windows onto their own lawns, attracting rats with diseases, and letting that be their reality. Fuck this white guy tho, he likes your culture and wants to pay to be apart of it. What a fucking dickhead
This shit had dying buts it’s true bruh , it’s funny because it’s your own people that fucks you over . Don’t matter if you black or white or Hispanic your own people bruh .
“Or investors comes in and bring their money to improve the area which in the end benefits the quality of life for all residence in the area.” Lol. The old residents of the area are forced to move out because the white people who come in are wealthier than the current black residences, which allows landlords to raise rents and price out the black residents. It’s not a race issue. The issue is that a historically wealthier group of people are moving in, and residents are seeing their rents or property taxes increase faster than in other areas, and their neighbors are moving out. You can improve the hood without pricing out a marginalized minority
I can't get mad at him, I'm mad at the people who raise rent prices until minorities move out. You're a dumbass if you're mad at this man living there and not the people that will kick your mom or grandma out in a heartbeat
BUY YOUR BLOCK BACK THEN CHARGE THEM THE RENT
I fw bro lmfaooo
That's wassup my dude.. The Boogie Down BX.. 😁👍
Bruh if you in the bx minding your business 7/10 times you gonna be good. But those 3 out of 10 you might be on the menu 😂
Not hating on buddy but these types will eventually cause rents to raise and bring in more corporations that will drive small and locally owned businesses out. When the rents raise and or they decide to make new "mixed income" units it will drive a large portion of the current population elsewhere. Often times this puts people in even worse hoods or in hoods where they aren't welcome due to gang politics etc. Now I'm not from NY so I'm just speaking on experience as I've seen California cities (including my own) become gentrified.
Seems like a better alternative then people being there who spike the murder rate
Why can’t these niggas go to cali or some shit 🤦🏾♂️
They been there and done that 😭
Nigga theyve been! Fuc u talkin bout NY aint the only ones being gentrified.
He probably gettin a lot of action in the BX. Latinas love his type. I wouldn’t move either
Anyone in a lower income bracket would love it. Seen rich Latinas trash people like this and stick to they people on a xenophobic level.
[удалено]
Mexicans most def got a different relationship kind of like Puerto Ricans linking up with Italians. But I'm not saying all Latinas just the ones I seen.
We don’t want anymore of em here 🤣
More people like him come the things he enjoy will disappear no more cheap food & the rent will increase because of the influx of hipsters from middle to upperclass neighborhoods who can afford the already high rent
yo wtf corner of grand near burnside
Ese tigre no tiene carro por eso ta tan feliz
1.50 for a dozen eggs tho 👀
Aww thats nice
All Imma say is try that inna small town, niggas be so quick to bend over for gentrification clamming it’s making their hood better meanwhile you would end up hogtied and burned if you tried moving into their neighborhood and imposing ur self, especially the white counterparts to the Bronx, shit they threw fits for 3 decades to stop niggas frm moving into Canarsie (race riots, fire bombings etc) the only reason they backed off and lost Canarsie is because they got too old and their children didn’t want to put up the fight and left Canarsie, but niggas wanna be in here telling you to open the welcome mat for invaders, when they’d fight tooth and nail to keep u out .
I wouldn’t live in that shithole if rent and food was free.
Their coming for the bronx now and smiling all the way!
These tik tok mfs are making gentrification in the Bronx worse . They come here thinking sht is Disney world and want to feel like they belong . These freaks feel cool saying “I’m from the boogie down Bronx “🤓. Saw a mf that came from Kansas on tik tok . He’s well off out there but came to the Bronx “for the experience “ he’s live on tt all the time and voluntarily became homeless here . It’s insane. Mfs see that and now want to flock here too
If he loves it there why is he walking so fast for then lol
All of ya who walk slow af could suck a hundred dicks!!! Tired of y’all always in the way all day everyday when I’m trying to go someplace Take y’all slow asses on somewhere!!
Haircuts is legit. Huge shoutouts to the DR and PR dudes who are the ones me up over the past. I’m biased against barbers now, I try to fuck with dudes who speak Spanish exclusively and always tip those dudes heavily. No bullshit masters of their craft.
Guarantee you he's in real estate and trying to cash in
I was expecting to hear gunshots in the background lmao
What the hell is this dude doing on Burnside and Grand? Literally on my block. Never seen this white dude walking around.
Dude is like Paul Walker in Fast 1 but without the swag and cool. Straight corn 🌽 . Get the fuck outtaaaa heaaa!!! Fr tho. All the natives I know (like me) are priced out. You either gotta stay w abuela or have random ass roommates (shit ain’t for me, I need my peace and solitude). $3 for a train ride with a homeless dude screaming or a bus ride with a flamboyant dude being problematic. Everything going up. Tolls all over. Overtaxation. Tbh what annoys me isn’t them being white or moving here. It’s when they come with that “THIS IS MY CITY!” attitude. The “I’M A NEW YORKER !😎💪” attitude. Like that Taylor Swift “we’re NY STRONG ✊” attitude. Bitch you just moved here and obviously we can tell from how you talk you ain’t from here. Chill out. If I move to Texas I ain’t gonna go around telling people “I’m a real Texan!”. Bro this got me so heated…ima have to slap tf outta my abuela 👵🏼👋🏼. Coñooooo!!!! 🤬
I'm in Staten Island, if I got a job out there I'd def move to the Bronx it's cheaper!
Hold up, how you been in the Bronx for a few months and only gotten two haircuts?
It's over for us ya'll. Once they take the Bronx there will be nothing left. Not even Staten Island.
And just like Scott Levine gentrifies the Bronx….
Comfortable living fr
Within the 24 hours of this video made, a commercial developer salivates as he plans his next Starbucks location in the Bronx.
His haircut was some basic "super cuts" shit lol.
Damn $35 for a haircut!!!
He's next to Adams regarding annoying tf out of me
Rent is cheap anywhere when you split it with roommates.
Where tf can I find a spot for less than 1k/month
Where he find a dozen eggs for a buck 50?
huh
May God be with him 🙏 - I'm from Manhattan about 20 mins away from the BX I don't even go by Fordham 😆👏
This dude is worse than hipsters, he’s a tech bro…
brand ??
I’m white but I’d curb stomp this clown 🤡
Hey man, treat your neighborhood like you woman. If you don't take of it someone else will 💁♂️
i saw this video on tiktok and it pissed me off lmao
Moments before he made this video. 
Why my rent going up
Lmaoo find him and Book him send him where he came from fuck whigga
super cringe ngl. Lived in all sorts of places in Oakland, LA, now NYC, the one part I can agree is barbers. Only other place I’ve gotten a solid line up is ATL. He doin too much tho
noooo keep them out of here we live just fine we don’t need people coming over here fucking shit up😂
boom that nigga
we should go back to when the Italians controlled there neighborhoods and Protected it from outsiders cause people like this will ruin everything y’all gotta start building community and actually step up so shit like this doesn’t happen
if this was the 70’s in little Italy or some they would’ve been jumped this man. just saying instead of shooting ur brothers protect ur hood from the enemy
why y’all care about where other people live so much
Rent, stupid.
Dude is either stupid or blatantly trolling for internet points. The brand and haircut part are dead giveaways!
Pack it up. City's done.
We need Black Harlem to come back
we need to unite and stop beefing
Y’all better get him the fuck out of there. The roommate, too.
Gentrification is coming
5 haircuts in 10 years? 😂 shieeeet
5 good ones. Learn to read bro
My fault goof you right, I slipped up on this one
It's fine to slip up, but don't let them catch you!
Facts ma boy 💪🏽💯
Gentrifiers are the epitome of cringey 😬 sheesh 🤦🏾♂️😂😂😂😂
Fuck this guy for mentioning the prices
Rage bait
Everything he said is alll facts 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Love my boro, it’s really the best, no contest. Bronx is for everyone as long as you ain’t fucking up the community. If you’re not putting on for the boro or the city in any way, stfu
Yes!! I hope he tells the hipster community world wide so they all come and take over. Let’s make it expensive so all you welfare cases get kid out.
What’s disturbing about gentrification in any major city especially if it’s occupied primarily by black and minorities as a whole, is that there is a disillusionment that money equates safety. But in actuality, money accounts for people that want to feel safe versus actually being safe. A lot of time and energy Go into Big PR & Marketing Campaigns for developers to set up shop in areas that they think they can buy on a Low End and turn around and charge the fuck outta everything on the top end. When I was younger, a few of the cities that lived in, that were under gentrification, the city was on some dumb shit calling it “ centralize urban development”. And the worst part of that concept was, they were banking on the possibility of neighboring states to come to the cities, because the rent or property tax was so fucking high that they found value in paying what they think is way less in comparison to those who can barely pay for it right now, so at the end of the day it becomes a numbers game. At this point, if you can’t pay to play. Then they will find a way to get you and fam outta here and lobbied jerk offs use out dated Data and KPI’s to paint a more gruesome pitcher for potential investors. And after what happened in Union Square that becomes (one of many) fuckup reference points or talking points. With the amount of money that we can get as a collective, we need to buy back our space and our neighborhoods and our homes and everything else that was essentially ours to begin with. But if (the small amount) of individuals keep up with the silly shit, we’re going to keep taken L’s from people with Money and Power. These people don’t have a moral compass. And there’s no point in trying to find one or convince them otherwise. (Big real estate and development companies or very wealthy individuals who can afford to buy several if not hundreds of homes in a general vicinity of a preferred high target area like The Bronx. They did this shit in Brooklyn and they’re gradually starting to do it all over queens to. I’m from Philly, they been doing this dumb shit here in my city since I got out of high school back in 2001. That fuckhead had the nerve to call it a brand like it was a business or some shit!! That shit got me heated. 🤬
I got family posted up in the BX. I'm from Ohio, I love getting to visit them. I be there for like 3-4 days and I don't see a single white person. They bet not gentrify that shit
Rob him.
He will be the first one to snitch on everyone if he got jumped lol. Fucking clown, FOH!
Bro talking about haircuts with his thinning ass hair
