Thank you once again for a job well done. I love your humble attitude and great respect you show in all your content. I remember our city during these turbulent times. These were the darkest days. I’ll never forget when they stormed Morning Star Baptist on Blue Hill Ave. I knew then our city had took a turn for the worst. The church was always so sacred. The OG’s would never… however the younger gangs could care less. I’ll never forget little Tiffany Moore getting shot on that mailbox. I lived in these neighborhoods during that time. I honestly walked through a war zone everyday. No one ever bothered me, but boy was I close to the fire. I had friends n family lost to these street wars. I never knew how bad it was until I watched your content. Please continue to tell these stories. The younger folks need to know what we lived through back in the day.

Oh yea 100% I’m CV and we been killing each other out here since the late 80s. The beef started back in CV with 2 big families, it got started out here after someone got killed back in Cv. Now it’s just crazy, has nothing to do with families. CV dudes have serious tempers, it’s ten different islands and most of the ones from Boston are from Fogo. We have a joke saying are you crazy or are you just from Fogo?! They’re known to be kinda of dumb, crazy and violent lol. You can ask any CV dude and they’ll tell you the same. Each island speaks different and sometimes look completely different. I’m from Brava they’re very light skinned green and blue eyes sometimes. We are know to be more snobby and educated. Most of people from Brava say they’re Portuguese not African 😂. My dad says this when he’s drunk. Just thought I’d tell you a little bit about Cv history. Pretty interesting.

Great video man. Im up on the N.Shore,but use to skip school in the early 90s to go play Madden for $$ up on Blue Hill. Only dudes we ever had issues with were the "GoyaBoyz"& "ABZ" ALL the time .

Lemme start off by saying: I’d usually have a problem with someone from outside of the hood and culture, commenting on it etc, but I actually appreciate the way this Cat approaches the subject with care, thoroughness and respect. The comment about the perception of why there aren’t many big name Hip-Hop acts out of Bean is spot on. I speak from experience, being from an underground Hip-Hop group outta Roxbury, back in the late 80’s-90’s. I grew up on Hutchings Street (one of the “H-Block” streets associated with Humboldt) in the 80’s. I’m 48 and I moved to Tent City at age 15. I was actually outside shortly before Darlene Tiffany Moore was killed (Bless Her Soul). The mailbox is on the corner of Homestead and Humboldt Ave (a fact that only those in the know, know.) So many years later, one of our well known locals named Bernard was killed on that same corner, just across the street (Bless His Soul). I even got into some sh!t on that corner myself back in the day. Side note: there was a “Junior Humboldt” gang that I was somewhat being recruited to join but opted out. I’m grateful to have survived and to have a clear retrospective view on the ‘hood sh!t that I grew up with. There are a few important things to name when talking about Boston ‘hood sh!t, for example: differentiating between which hoods were in Roxbury, Dorchester, Mattapan and Jamaica Plain etc for example. It’s also important to frame that the ‘hoods throughout the U.S in general are not only a result of poverty etc, but the overall legacy of slavery and disenfranchisement of Black, Brown and poor folks. I’ll sign off by saying again that I salute this Cat @jasontrimmins8264 again for his efforts and I’ll be keeping an eye on his channel. 🫡👊🏾 1L

Thorough breakdown on what was going in our city. I remember when it started not being safe going outside. In the late 80's by the time 90's came it got real crazyyy. Especially in Roxbury ( Brunswick/ Interval/SouthEnd / Tin cIty / The Villa / Franklin Hill / Castle Gate / Humboldt / Corbet ) ... Most of us went to The Burke. It was a very dangerous time. They we had to endure which the city never gave two shits about. Until it was wayyyyy too late. By that time, we started saving ourselves. By curving the violence with Hiphop n Sports n Gang prevention programs ( Gang Peace in Roxbury ) set up by us through the city. I was apart of all of that. Even though I have mixed feelings about you as the poster posting this info. It should of been one of us to actually narrated that lived thou this. Im still some what appreciative because I forgot about most of this. Especially Columbia Point. Thanks for posting RIP to Todd Holiday n The Holiday Family.

@jasontrimmins8264 Sonoma wasn't a gang street it was a drug street. We was little kids when the gang shit started popping off , a bunch of young teenagers 15 16 17, mostly because of the introduction of crack and the money out there , but Sonoma was in existence before then. It was where Heroin was sold from the 70s well into the 80s. You gotta remember , a lot of veterans came home from the Vietnam war strung out, and this street was it. Can't tell you who ran it , like I said , we was kids, but we knew it was grimy. Don't matter what hood you was from , nobody played on Sonoma. They had lookouts with shottys on the roofs.This is how I remember it.

@@BSTLIVE1 Now to be fair I said Intervale was once considered to be at one time the most dangerous street in Boston and I read that I didn't actually say that. That is incredibly interesting comment you left about Sonoma being the heroin hub. I'm very interested in that period there really isn't anything out there about that era. All the Vietnam vets coming back strung out and heroin was the major market before crack all great points. I did read a long time ago about a dope operation late 70's early 80's before crack with guys on rooftops armed spotters but I couldn't remember the organization or the street. Thank you very much for this comment and new info I'm going to look into that for future videos. Have you ever heard of Egelston sq having the same reputation for being a heroin hub back in the day?

JT how i get in contact with you? Email whatever. I enjoyed this put together. Got something you'd find very interesting. 👌🏾👍🏾
