I survived East NY projects. We last lived at Brownsville before my sister died. I remember the first day we move into the project apartment a guy was shot in the elevator right before we entered it with our furniture. Crazy memories yet Brownsville was about surviving and family. Loyalty and respect. We lived in East NY - Pitkin, Atlantic Ave, and Mother Gaston. Glad to see that previous rivals are now communicating. Anyone that survive living at any of the East NY Projects can make it in any city / hood. After being in the streets of East NY, Bedsty, Crown Heights, and Flatbush I give God thanks for taking me out of the street. After my sister died, I decided to go to college...then I joined the Air Force and that was the best decision I made that changed my life. Respect and thanks for this video.

To put this in perspective, Brownsville has the lowest average lifespan of any neighborhood in New York, and the highest infant mortality rate in the city. There are 18 different housing projects in the neighborhood (the most densely concentrated area of public housing in the U.S.). 30% of its residents are high school graduates and only 8% of the population holds a bachelors degree. 28% of the population lives in poverty. I have always been shocked of the conditions of the neighborhood, but its improved a lot from even 10 years ago, but 2020 changed that along with the rest of the city.

This is why dudes have to stop glorifying it like it's cool. I grew up in the hood, but I am not impressed when dudes keep saying legendary this or that. No, what's legendary is you show me something you own on that block other than a pair of Jordans. The hood can shape you mentally and break you mentally. A lot of people don't realize it's another world outside the hood. I used to have that same mentality until I left the hood.

BTW, as a former NYCHA employee I can say from straight facts that Queensbridge Houses is the largest project in NYC and in the Country with 96 buildings. It’s so large NYCHA had to split it into two: Queensbridge South and Queensbridge North. ✌🏾

[@bxboro4662]

Queensbridge is definitely the largest pjs, but it’s not the only one that’s split into 2 (North & South). Edenwald PJs (The Bronx) is also split that way.

I can't believe I'm just now finding out who Hadji is. Barely went to my first show in 2023 and was able to get onto my first stage as a photographer by the end of that year. But mannn do I relate to that awareness of being at barricade. So close yet so far. (as corny as that sounds) Always seeing HELLA randoms up there just knowing there HAD to be a way to join them. Fortunately, I was able to make it happen but now I gotta make it happen again and again. Also he's so right, you can make it look like you're doing things by being at these shows but at the end of the day you really gotta have something to show for yourself.

[@SketchCarellz]

Born and raised in Park Slope, Brooklyn, NY. My neighborhood wasn't dangerous like Brownsville, but I was never allowed to go to Brownsville, Bed Stuy or East NY as a kid and I think that's a testament to what the guy in this video is saying. These are very much "If you not from here, don't come here" type of places. I have family in Brownsville and it seems to have changed a bit since the '90s, but I think Brownsville and South Bronx competes for the most volatile places in NYC for Millenials.

[@inspirationalshanae5129]

Yep. For some reason people in Brooklyn love to say they will never visit Bronx(my relatives). I live in the Bronx(South). I lived in Bk in the 90s. I both boroughs are not the best

[@illusiveman1]

Yeah I was born in East New York in 1990 and grew up scraping and around violence. My moms while family lived in Cypress projects. Most deff you gotta be born in to these places not spots you wanna just stroll in to at all b smh. I used to be playing skully and fighting .
