I’m from Newark nigga.. up NORTH. We don’t talk like no fuckin New York bruva we got our own shit goin on dude.. our own lingo allat

[@_GoGo_]

Facts, don’t nobody sound like y’all Jersey cats, on bro

[@CharlieBo313]

Yes you do. The whole North Jersey sound just like or similar to New York. Most of the differences only noticeable to locals. Why would that be so crazy, yall all share the same radio TV, etc because it's all the same media market.

[@KillaQuan201]

I'm from Jersey City and we do have a different accent from New York it's similar but different even the different boroughs of New York have different accents from each other but people that are not from these areas to them it all sounds the same so I get it. Most of my family is from Newark and Philly and people from Newark definitely don't sound like New Yorkers alot of people think I'm from Newark but that's because my accent got all scrambled up from living back and forth from Philly to Jersey all my life. I'm been to Camden a few times and they had a part of town that had abandoned houses for blocks and it was nothing but crackheads in that area it's like they had there own community lol and some were young as hell and don't get me started on that greyhound station 🤦‍♂️🤣 and the crackheads use to stay pushing up on me out there 😂🤣

[@CharlieBo313]

@Quan201 Most of what you said is true but accents usually change gradually over a wide geographic area. People may sound different in New jersey or in different burroughs of NYC, but that has more to do with social/economic class, and education level. In some cases the buroughs are separated by a street so that would mean somebody born on one side of the street would sound different than people across the street from them.

[@DC-de6bx]

The rapper is actually a real dude, he ain’t flashin for the camera, everybody fw him, he’s humble, when you really from the streets you not braggin and he’s smart, if you street smart you know he’s definitely holding back a lot from the camera. Unlike most people you interview he’s genuine/real. If you don’t think they from the streets you don’t know the streets. Blessings to all of them

What is crazy is, you can tell the difference in when he interview southern people, and more northern people. Northern people seem more humble and intelligent. I'm a southern person and I see it clear.

Camden used to have the highest crime rate in America in the early 90's. Half the projects and rowhomes have been demolished since then. The city is an empty lot now. Most junkies have fled over the bridge to Kensington in North Philly. Camden never gentrified but it's not as bad due to lack of abandoned buildings now.

i wonder why it never gentrified, with the proximity to philly...not that i advocate for that

I'm clean now, it will be 6 years in March. I notice they've knocked a lot of the abandoned houses and buildings since I've been there. I actually met some really decent people, some bad too.

Jersey gave up on Camden, infrastructural, Educational, it’s constantly in the top 10 most dangerous city’s in America. As long as it’s contained to Camden and doesn’t spread to the suburbs the state is ok with it. I’m not going to call nobody’s life sad or nothing, you make the best of where you are but you have to give people a chance to do better or make their city better, I hope they make it. Two points they made that are very true 1- Nobody wants to be the only one fist fighting, so once shooting becomes the norm nobody’s going to ask for a fair one cuz they know they’ll just get shot. That’s the situation in every hood Camden isn’t different 2- They feel they have been forgotten. It’s true they have been forgotten, by the state, by the government, by society. They are people in America that have no idea theirs places this rough.

[@shane6450]

What else can the state do? It’s a money pit. The crime is out of control, no one wants to be a police officer in that area so crime stays. Why not get the community together and fix it up? It’s much better than standing on the corner doing nothing but shouting out your Instagram. If each of those guys got a decent job, saved up for a year and pooled their money together they could buy one of those cheap houses and fix it up. You can basically learn how to do a lot of things right on KZbin. They can all live there together or flip it. That’s the only way to save Camden. It comes from within.

Most of the young people in Camden that I’ve talked to sound like this, they’re lively, mostly respectful, and comical, just with their cliques. Can’t speak on whatever else they get into but in my experience working at the city schools and clubs they’re pretty chill

[@blast4me754]

When I go to any major city I throw the whole metro area into one bucket as if it's one city..I notice hood folks take those invisible city limit lines serious. Philly and Camden is literally walking distance from each other.

[@davidscott3726]

Like Jersey City and Manhattan.

[@215Christ]

it's about a half-hour walk if you trying to walk that ben franklin bridge, I give you that.

[@RadGalDaMenace]

can’t walk across the water but i get what you’re saying lol

[@Shiestyset]

I’m from Camden ya heard probably Delaware

[@omfgCantGetaUsername]

@@215Christ Rs. Lol you better be used to jogging and walking cus that's a husky ass hike hood to hood no bap. Lmfao but it's definitely just like walking across the BK/Manhattan bridge I imagine.

Diversity is truly our greatest strength

[@daddius]

Don’t you know that’s why white men invented the internet? So we might one day listen to these guys shout their social media locations on KZbin.

[@Rust_Rust_Rust]

Who said dat

[@piyesankara890]

Yes all the addicts in Camden look like you

[@lacag-lacag]

Man when i see such kids like this i really laugh/amaze , like these kids they think that they are upto big things. Most of them are dead broke, live in the misserable life, no job not good circumstance like the houses they live in, this is worse🙈🤦🏾‍♂️

[@b3u3g3g3y]

I love how you asked him what he does for a living, and he said "I get money". And these guys are confused about why their neighborhood doesn't get tax dollars to clean it up. No tax base, no funding.

[@TheRealJayKs]

I said I rap right after, Million ways to get money, don’t assume

[@Ali64426]

Most the tax money they would be paying would be going directly to the police fund. Why would I pay taxes that only go to cops and not for ACTUALLY improving my city?

[@nytiaj.9582]

Camden has gotten a lot better since the 90s / early 2000s. The violence was off the charts .. But the drugs are getting worse.

[@Tiy51]

From baring st which isn’t 2 far from this spot , this was a good interview charlie you are improving 🙌

[@Rashadd-mu4jc]

CMD all day Shout out to the everyone in the video and a special shout out to everyone from my city CMD stand up

[@BigDirtDawg]

Camden, philly and baltimore all look very similar. And they are the only cities that look as bad as they do.

[@bartenderzzz]

I feel bad for the youth. No leadership. Nobody to look up to. And they seem cool too. I hope they wake up and realize there's more to life then just the block. I know Camden's rough but there's a way out. NYC LUV

[@talkingmoney4499]

Camden is one of the worse but compared to how it used to be it has gotten a little better

[@trapbois4573]

Honestly if the neighborhood got posh, you know these guys would still be complaining because the standards of living would be higher and they wont be able to fit in that higher end of living. Its really a double edged sword. If the neighborhood is shit they would complain, if the neighborhood be thriving, they would struggle to survive. It's a lose, lose until you change your mentality.

[@thesoulclinic_]

Every nigga from Camden I met don’t be on no fake gangsta shit them niggaz go hard and they know they REALLY from the hood

[@TheRealJayKs]

Said it perfect 🎯

[@futurecatastrophes9533]
