@@chaseparker4950 I wasn't trying to go to every hood in the city in one video, I never do. The interviews aren't about if I want to do one, it's about if I can get one. There are lots of places I attempted and wasn't able to get interviews. I do random ones and on some people contact me. Several people contacted me to do one in Tacoma after I left, so I will probably do one with one of them when I come back.

I currently live in Tacoma. Moved here from southern Oregon about a year ago now. I'm in recovery, but I can tell you that when I was using, and running a muck in the streets 6 months ago, every single person whether they be an addict, homeless, mental illness, fallen on hard times or all of the above were some of the nicest most giving, generous, caring and thoughtful people. People that have come under hard times get labeled in such a terrible manner and treated as if they are leppers. And of course there are those that are just not good people at all, theirs, violent, leave garbage everywhere. But there are people like that in all walks of life. I love Tacoma, and the people that live here. The only negative thing I have to say, and this applies to the entire state. But not a single person here knows how to drive. It's infuriating. Pick a damn speed, don't break for no reason on the freeway, get off your phone, and learn how to merge!

It’s like Seattle 30 years ago. Beautiful historic prewar architecture that is preserved by zoning regs . Unlike Seattle and PDX which lost a ton of prewar slash historic buildings to developers building soulless luxury condos.

It's gotta be hood for a rapper like dmx to name his son after Tacoma. Hardknock life tour came to Tacoma in 2001. Me and my bro were there. He announced at the show he loved the city and his son was born that day an named him Tacoma. Went to school the next day an everyone was talking about how he rolling through hilltop in a limosine equipped with a dog horn. Didn't believe it but people still talk about it till this day. E-40 always mention Tacoma. Young ma, mozzy, mac dre shout out tac.

It’s not hood...jus cuz a rapper says a city in a song doesn’t mean it’s a hood...Messy Marv used to mention Nebraska in a few songs so that makes it hood🤔...and so every city hardknock life tour went to is a hood?
