[@brakorinspaceo81]

Well their friends and family are all in these places and they've been there for decades. It sucks, but to a point I'd imagine that moving isn't an option or it's extremely difficult. It also really is amazing what the human mind can acclimate to if given it's given enough time/necessity. Not to mention that gangs can kinda be like cults. Getting mixed up in a radical, tight knit group such as a gang, at a young age, would fuck with anybody's sense of self and decision making. Especially when friends and family have been killed by members of opposing groups. You have very tight personal and familial connections that you want to protect AND a nearby group that you and your gang fucking despise.... It makes sense a lot of these guys might not want to leave, they'd be abandoning everybody that they love. I have never and hope that I never will live in an area like Oblock so my pov is VERY one sided.

[@aelix56]

If you listen to them they've all become desensitivized to violence so in the end they all lost something even if they didn't realize it. I don't think living thinking "oh just our monthly shooting quota" can be healthy for their minds and I bet someone with that part of em stunted is more likely to end up in a gang than any other.

It’s the same thing when I lived in river park towers. People constantly called it the most dangerous place in the Bronx, yet it was never that bad. It was always something petty then every now and then it would be something severe like a robbery or an altercation that resulted in someone getting injured. People rarely got killed and it was always dumb kids trynna act gangster. The older cats would never do anything like that, they usually just made sure that anyone who didn’t live there wasn’t messing with anyone.

But y'all don't realize is nobody gets shot inside of parkway gardens or old block.... They get shot outside of the community dude. No matter where you live, you have to go to the f****** store to the daycare or wherever else to pick up your children or do whatever you have to do day-to-day. That's where the violence resides You cannot blame them for Brandon asking, is there a lot of violence in o'block And they go no dude. I live here. Nobody ever dies in this apartment complex.

The common theme: People who live there play it down, and when they get a chance to leave they can finally reflect. It's what we should expect, when you have to survive day by day you can't dwell on it. When you move somewhere where your friends and family aren't dropping dead every month, it puts things into perspective.

[@littleloner1159]

The dissonance was shocking to me, a European. "Look how we just standing outside. You're safe with us nothing to worry about!"

But it is stunning to see, especially because their community is so special and positive and full of hope.

Wow. These 2 Videos that you just made were amazing. As someone who was always interested in the Chicago Drill scene, this was something I‘ve been looking for. This video shows that these are just people that can be very nice and that they‘re not just some brutal monster that will shoot without hesitation as soon as you step on their territory. And even they say that it’s not that dangerous and some of them are ready to kill people and disrespect people like Tooka, I still feel sympathy for these folks. Because remember, for them this is normal life. Like they said: You get used to it. And for them Tooka is somebody from the gang, a group of people they were raised to hate and through music, it has become regular phrase in their circle. Therefore I‘m glad there is a video that shows them as human beings. Bravo Brandon. - just a guy from Germany that loves Hip Hop and the story behind it.

Man... These kids have a look in their eye that is killing me. Its like an endless hopelessness, like theyre tired after seeing so much violence.

[@DJ42487]

I live in a city, and although where I grew up wasn't as violent as Chicago, there is this switch once you get into high school and right after where people start losing the playful joy of being a kid and start into gang violence and killing. Really tripped me out seeing dudes I knew being killed or turning into killers themseves when just a few years prior they were bright eyed happy kids with hopes and dreams. I remember one dude was just a typical high school teenager that played sports and had bright hopeful eyes with hopes and dreams. Four years pass by and he killed and attempted to kill people not to mention several rumors of killings. You compare photos of the before and after and it looked like a literal demon had entered him. Facial structure and everything change. Pretty wild to see and tripped me out seeing several guys, some completely innocent caught in crossfire, lose their lives or lose their light and become killers. Personally I wasn't prepared for things to change so quick and honestly it really affected me so I can only imagine growing up in a place where close friends are being killed and gunshots are ringing out weekly or monthly. God I pray for that community😔

[@rikkipowers3921]

grew up in a city. lost a friend summer before high school. felt fam life was the only way to be safe and fed. so glad I got out of that. but I'll never forget that first lost. my 9th grade classmate in a heroine recovery program. losing classmates to knife fights. It hits you, but the dude was right. You don't process, you just adapt.

this was so cool to watch. i’m so impressed with the quality and content. instant sub and fan bro

[@nevermindme8922]

I really feel for these young guys. A lot of people judge them, but those people don’t understand that in that community, you really don’t have a choice. You are surrounded by people who want to kill you simply for living on a different street. It’s sad af. Don’t die for a street your mom is paying rent on.

Feel for all these kids stuck in it man, great video bro

[@josiahalvillar1583]

I’m ngl brother I love these documentary type videos you drop. I forgot what it was but the one about that mentally disabled dude that got trolled and messed with and told to do horrible things by ppl online, this one. I know these videos are harder to do and take a lot more time to create, but I love em. Would love to see more documentary type content like this not just on subjects like this, but on everything. Great video

Respect for showing the good side of o block .. these young people sound nice ... tight community. They deserve more respect and encouragement

[@_ThatOneServant]

I'm from Cincinnati, OH and I can definitely relate to them saying things like "its not as bad as the media make it" thats only because when you become immune to that life and can't escape it because of your situation you just brush it off. Man oh man I would love to hit o block just to connect with our people I know you can't save err body but I need that connection with more of our people
