First heard this maybe around 2007 on Much vibe. Still here today. It hurts my heart hearing those lyrics knowing shit hasn't changed in the black communities but at the same time it heals my soul knowing im not the only one going thru the struggles of a black man in the ghetto............

Regent Park is going through a gentrification transition as of this comment. Has been since the development plans were set in stone in 2005.

[@TheRadboy84]

Alot of people dont know regent park was the first real housing project, it wasent in the u.s it was in Canada. The Americans used it as a model for social housing projects later. Not comparing the violence and crime rates, im just sayig the idea of lumping poor people into one area on purpose (funded by the goverment) was created in the 30s in Toronto Ontario. The point of this video is not to see whos hood is craziest, the point is to show that buy just tearing down a physical building and replacing it dose not tear down the socio economic problems that are the real reason behind poverty in the firsts place. It also shows how not much has changed in the end, thats why theres clips from the 30s 60s 70s and today showing people doing the same shit in the same place, the change is cosmetic on the outside to make outsiders happy thinking theres change because a new building looks nice, but the root cause stays same and has gotten worse.

[@TheRadboy84]

Andre Black Baby Jesus did not know that, social housing in the 20s and 30s...during depression huh new to me man.

[@TheRadboy84]

Andre Black Baby Jesus but was it then labled as a project or did it just turn gradually into that? just wondering im no expert man, i thought regent was the first one set up by a government, i could be wrong it happens.

[@TheRadboy84]

TheRadboy84 regent was built in the early 40s my bad, still i guess my point is Americans tend to not realize how long we have also had projects and shit, they think its all middle class people living in igloos or someshit.

[@terfdale]

actually ur not totaly wrong, regent park was the first social housing project as in government housing as a social experiment. look it up it fact

[@TheRadboy84]

terf dale i know but i didn't want to continue a long youtube argument LOL.

[@saveriopersichilli1129]

[@omnicron6174]

Someone else alluded to this, but I think it's worth repeating, people should check out that documentary INVISIBLE CITY, from 2009, that follows the life of Canadian teens living in Regent Park during their final years of High School. The reason I'm mentioning this is because this song was in the end credits, which was actually a perfect companion and anthem to the doc.

[@WestboundPromo416]

Sean Price that’s the one I been thinkin abt haven’t seen it since, and it was on tvo alie?? I saw that on tv in like the early 2000s
