From somewhere you seek a certain pride in itself would be always surprised if there is some little stuff like you google something university a pang campus and university on 45th street and you could make one shine you know on the bottom you want to get if you got a project. In west philly right there are a few of these little blocks like this these little row homes you see People Living on top of each other i guarantee wherever you are from russia or wherever your from the only thing i know what a row home is this is called road home. Anywhere in this city and theres a servant in any urban area if you have an event of some light that you got people to come out with good intentions the you always got people that might not have good senses in. Living in in so much poverty you know you got guys in a ghetto and guys you know who have things that are nice things materialistic then you have was called the wolves in the wolves or oh you know thats it danger to whoever you are whether youre a working man who are violent drug bill is shows like you know like right now it is cold out so you see people want stuff like this this had i dont turn to all black males so you know me im a musician and im an actor and im a activist so i dont want trouble but somebody else walking out you know it is what it is is what it is. All right now you are in east baltimore and this is all tell me all this is a mall they should be right famous like a lot of black people like myself with when i was a kid become a vile close. Little store. Farmer scenes we have Beauty Supply stores so this was like a one stop shop like you come here and do everything it was a growing community during the seventys and eightys and this is all tell more. What happened here like any other Community Going to seventys and eightys it was a high volume of drugs and as you can see this idea became a Drug Trafficking environment lot of drugs and with that. He said some of those stores some of the buildings just deterring it because of the traffic of drugs and with that a little bit of violence people get shot. The crime now is undercover because. Its different drugs different drugs pills pills pills a very popular these days very popular pills are very popular people grandmothers dont feel safe walking here with groceries a mother dont feel safe would bring her son here to maybe take him to get something to eat so just over tiling things kind of deteriorated as one dell. Told me there was a good scene miles that this way you know to be moved by says neighborhood is a place of being more remoras because you find a. Lower merion area a Great School District which you could see blocks that way the 2nd in one case where just a couple days ago a guard actually at the gas station got shot 16 times because these you go up here to know marion after School Programs computer. The Football Team stuff look like the end. They got all you got everything you got to go show for it try to play sports and even if you do you know its so expensive you got a single mother she barely could feed these kids you know which are the most is 300. 00 on a football she might say to me playing for each of them on a 2 mile difference a 2 mile difference to a young person this 1314129. 00. Miles theres 2000000 miles of a difference because because if you look at these homes where you look at these look like they they look at a band that is riflemen enough but look at the way didnt look at be this some might the 2nd floor light is what i mean somebodys living it right 1st floor of my not in the regulated when nobody lives some i want to 2nd floor you know people that live around here some sound dont even think this is going to miles that were right some people even the lower marine looks like measure the kid they go to sleep at night they dont know heat right and its cool this just a reality right here. Its not like just some pretty. Young. So right now youre still in the baltimore this is looks old housing projects everyone live close together close together so everybody know each other around it as you can see is a rough Neighborhood Drugs Police Brutality high crime rate and die what we eat this is messed up we dont have good food were all here to eat you have Grocery Stores where families like buy snacks like mills high poverty. Low education rate. Tain pregnancies. A lot of killings mindless shooting around here a lot of my friends lost their lives. In his neighborhood. People cant get a job they sell drugs spray here you know wave of people come boom boom boom boom boom boom. You know and thats how they make winning is uncontrollable you got to survive look. Look its a jungle so an example you got to act like a lion amongst other lines that like the beasts a must of the beast so this is survival of the fit is at the rose form you have to survive people minds can expand if theyre close together to 1st create it in they dont know how to express themselves that was cool of ballots the government designed these housing projects and they keep people suppress. I believe that the environment that you grow up into is a huge part as to what you experience you know i as well as what you become when you grow up. Oftentimes memphis bird people die in specific locations they utilize the flowers and teddy bears or create a memorial on the spot. So hopefully as a reminder to continue to reinforce why. Not going the negative route or the dark road. In my adult life ive had 6 friends that have never heard of you gun violence in homewood. One was working as a bartender at a local bar and the patron came in and decided to shoot him inside the bar another young woman named denise tall and she was murdered in a bar of the street from the y. M. C. A. Because she didnt want to give her phone number to a gentleman that was there and then theres another one of our friends named Frederick Douglas that was murder right on on franks on avenue not sure for what for what reason exactly but all these places are within. 2 minutes of the y. M. C. A. Which is unique because thats where a lot of our kids go. Basketball is a easy game for kids to pick up on because all you need is a vast. You can get lost in the game for hours or years or even a lifetime for some people like Michael Jordan or kobe bryant. In the columns of a motivation and more importantly gives them an opportunity to excuse. A lot of kids who look up to athletes and entertainers so even want to be rappers or the next Le Bron James or they want to be their neighborhood gangsta the Neighborhood Drug deal thats fascinating into so kids they get chance to see in their environment and they have options was like evil you selling crack rock or you got a wicked jump shot in order to excrete the hood. And. I. Was going to let. Me go for the. So whats up plan for today. Is what is some of the best of these all see. Feel and see. How many also so much you shall before. Us will some of these. Limits tell you what you guys cannot be a real bad people. All of the reasons were because there was division you know and the principle behind dividing thats why remember were United States of america. I did states. This whole area was black so what happened was they put it i way didnt cared but the highway right down the middle right smack down the middle. Of this most prosperous inner City Community called jackson ward which actually was named black wall street this was prosperous and then they divided it right here and as we cross over into this section you want to see the transition. Government housing became high crime drugs everything in addition to the highway as i mentioned some of the black owned businesses left their businesses to go to other areas this area right here and then became the ghetto this is one of the high crime areas right now as we see the difference here books ace government housing. You know businesses. Welfare food stamps you get hooked you get hooked and basically you just barely get along and youre living off of the government see blacks did better when we didnt get help. We were getting help we did better because we had to we were forced to do for ourself where you start giving people help and paying them then this what happens these people are used to a check which is only enough for them to live in this kind of condition who wants to open up a business in a high crime area. Because then you get rough. You can go with yeah you. Know was a clip of sea world no use to you. But the way its always at the k. It was a story will more of the late. You know. Media. Today i think whats the mood at the. Smithsonian the capital. City the. Yes. The. Yes well. Theres a low blow number of opportunities here in western pennsylvania as well as so not only did our industries move but a lot of our people moved as well which forced even more businesses to move strongly difficult to run a business in a place like home well just because one theres not a a lot of people there and then to the people there dont have the necessary means to take advantage of extra things and one of the unique business is that has been able to been a steadfast place to look to at home what i think theyre you know at least 15 years old and mr mr bundy has been there you know making. Making those donuts for for kids to make sure that they have food before they were just cool for for generations upon generations so even in those situations where if mom and dad couldnt take care of kids knew that they could go to the bakery and grab a donut or grab something to make sure that they had so food in order to get through today so. I dont know how they did it but they found a way to be a constant presence in that neighborhood despite what has gone. On their good or bad you know im only American Point were homeward. From. Earlier i dont see any new bridge. And right now a couple Big Companies k. F. C. Found a way maybe meet their quota here whatever Company Calls for you know theyve been gone for you know 56 years you know i thought long theyve been out of here. You know. Thats just a tough par in a round the guns in murders that take place right out avenues one of the busiest roads in western pennsylvania is one of the longest and strangest rows so people arrive from the a fluent neighborhoods out on the side of western pennsylvania and they ride through homewood through traffic every single day to go to work which is crazy if you go on a news itll say you know somebody got murdered in the home with us so its not a place that you want to pull over and stop and maybe grab a donna and coffee rather than the same traffic. Weve got here is the most number one you know most one of the capital murder. Somethings not so great. Well talk about your food and how it impacted because you thought hostages thought it was 60. 00 thought it was thought it was 16 out of the gas saw you know how it all enough to sell a food amount so make a living now was there. While the slave say its all we got what will face i was so when i saw my anger its fun thats. Hostile so the bit im committing i think about every bycatch ahead i want to cut the head which. Addicks only times for any value i do is like controlled lot say the habits when we behave but our city no is what we used to do not oppose what we want to sell goods is what. You got a cloudy with a quick buck. You know we know. We had a bottom you have to climb all the way to how old the metal you are yet to make a name for yourself l primary right now were so happy that is comparing it to like a war zone actually nice a more severe shot of baltimore if youre in saudi arabia. Is probably crazy yeah told me probably months ago. Paul crowley lot of people risking. My senior year i found out i was having a baby by a woman that i wasnt going to marry so i dropped out of school was living out of my parents house was broke and started dabbling in some things that i didnt need to dabble and put myself in a situation to almost be murdered in 2011 as a result of that experience thats when i made the decision to start doing what i do what i did it was a basketball game a start to focus more in on my basketball career. In basketball its a competition with yourself. You have to conquer yourself. Its a game where you have to learn to share and play with your teammates and more importantly compete against the other team as well as the environment. When people think about the ball they dont look at it in that aspect where you break it down because its a personal battle its a battle of monks your team and the other people. Its about almost you and the environment. Its a game of skill its a game of aggression. And physicality where youre forced to tremble youre supposed to shoot. The force and do a lot of things that people take for granted in every day move its. Just that that passion that ive been able to maintain from much of the carryover into my adulthood is what is allowed to be so much. Then everybody else and create an opportunity where people say we could work to find other children in the fathers neighborhoods primarily in homes where i start as a consumer all its to teach them how to harness that energy and maintain that energy into their adulthood so then they can continue like i said to do some of the things that ive done if not ill take it further and further and further. So will be also right now is a war. Losing too many people every day out every day i dont want to stick my life in philly put up are you to somebody and thats another fatherless show i said no the one who who meaning come almost a mother who got a im tired of seeing what mothers have to bury the black son burke and thats just the thing if im as is his plan is i can put it i dont want to see people getting children miss where you griego i dont need to see people getting killed in russia i damn sure dont want to feed your children for those. Primaries based on no drugs. You know people who didnt kill anything. 95 percent of the crimes. Or least 85 percent of chromes is drug related. You know were a weirdo right now currently were number one. Murder capital in United States we also. Number one and her with addiction here. Why because we have the port which is right there were willing to the edge of the east coast so a lot of things come through the ports just the way kids get involved with drugs growing up and in a city soon as you step outside your door. Being go youre right there. Actually some i may add when you step outside your door stus me do you know where i can use a wee for a scuse me you know thats a dont. Mean you know got some coke or scuse me you know got some pills. Right now in the community he is going through a change because it changes going on in his community because john hopkins in a real estate value is going up so a lot of these residents is not going to be here to do too much longer and theyre going to bring in the good food because its already south everything is about spacing right now and everything so youve got well youve got wealthy People Living next to that poor people. So eventually to poor people its going to get its going to its not going to be around anymore. Theyre moving a poor people out to the county out this way so homeowners. They give them vultures in voters meaning give you access to another house and you dont have to pay me money just move right on it but the thing about it you may be away from the city. So right now in the city theres a growing. Epidemic of just like well the conflict is is no inclusion for the people as they are ready. Best to call flick the conflict is theres no inclusion everyone does a resident right now. Theyre not included in no future plans best the conflict. Desk changing because donald. Donald trump is sending you oh basket full of contaminated foam it already had an image and people do not like so donald trump has really stepped in a lot of people will. Have freedom of choice you dont have a freedom of choice which you know youre eating with the government giving you can usually call it a go get food at a market mail mistake yet if youre on a welfare and you want to have they done a basket he said when you like go a basket full of food its in government yeah so you cant theres no more purchase things are changing in the rich want access to the city. In with that comes. Ginger vacation a lot of things get exposed right now you know. A lot of people go to church. And. You know they give offerings and you know im a speaking bedouin you wont believe im just picking from my observation but at the same time when theyre in the. Same people that they were a lot of dispersed. Never be there for them financially and it never has. The fingers together youre going to squeeze it in and make sure you figure stays off tour movie to go into this position and then be sure you set your hand in properly bring the gun up and keep it im a ok all right so the thought of it all old saying well ok forget what you saw in the movie sorry if you shoot the way to shoot it in movies youll never get anything. According to several sources felice new United States kills from 2 to 4 people simply day. One child had his hand. Sanitizer grinned. One of my being arrested for a response from me and. That is just their little old style that they developed just so you can stumble. Along comes your own terms like 25 years ive. Never had to shoot someone holding a loaf.

Some people are gone this protest across america right now bolshevik revolution time make a reference to the workers uprising that we saw in the old in korea russia. And youve got a new imperium here in america a lead story can tell you there and the workers suddenly realize that wait a minute we dont want to live under a dictatorship we dont want to live under a monarchy a good Old Fashioned bolshevik revolution which is what really happening because.
