Twitter is always late with some shyt, but that’s definitely one of my favorite videos. I remember when it went viral 4 years ago. Word is he was looking for Leon’s (a BBQ joint) and got lost, and ended up at his old stomping grounds from when he would visit his cousins in Chicago. Unafraid with no security.

This should be a thread in itself. What other celebrity do you think could just walk around in the hood without security and in fear of getting robbed?

Denzel, mike Tyson and I say Samuel L can go anywhere in all hoods and get respect

Mike Tyson, Samuel L Jackson, 2Pac before he got locked up and went to Death Row, Michael Jackson, Robert Downey Junior (MCU stimulus package), Chris Evans (MCU stimulus package), Tom Hanks, Michael Jordan, John Cena, Stone Cold Steve Austin back in the 90s, The Rock, Macho Man Randy Savage back in the 90s, E-40, Too Short, Uncle Luke, Ludacris.

Trying to list those who haven’t been named yet:
my list is Obama, lebron, Marshawn Lynch, OJ, patti labelle, Chadwick Bozeman (rip), present day Snoop, Jamie foxx, Allen iverson, Morgan freeman

Farrakhan and Cube are still too polarizing to old school black conservatives so they would be good in the hood but probably not the boogie enclaves

It all circles backs. Denzel used to roll with his Blackstone Rangers cousins when he’d visit the chi, then he ended up filming in The Jungles with some LA Jungle Stones in 2001. :wow:

Denzel is like a street Dr.Strange. Just meta and omnipresent. :wow:
Black P Stone in the Bronx too. Right next to Mt Vernon. :wow:

worlds apart. they in the same area, but once you cross that border its a whole different environment each direction. Mount Vernon doesnt have the money public services like the city/bronx, once you cross a certain street the street lights are missing and buildings become abandoned. its a very stark difference once you cross borders of yonkers/mount vernon.BX. crossing into yonkers is from the bronx is like you took a trip to Ireland. it doesnt get grimy until some distance north.

im just talking about the people

Michael Jackson. He could walk through Gary Indiana anytime of the day and not get touched.

I'd add will Smith as long as it was before 2013 when he started to fall off. If will Smith wandered into a random neighborhood back in 2005 people would probably show him love.

Now tho people would probably pretend they don't know him :mjlol:

Queen Latifah and Rhianna are good too. In fact I think I read somewhere that a few years back Rihanna did show up at a random small party and fit right in.
