    CHEA!

  • I do work for banks and it's kind of nice knowing that most bank locations will be in nice, decent areas. I hate going to poor areas for work because theres always a chance some fool will try and make a profit off of me because they see an opportunity. This is coming from someone born and raised in Queens. The communities can only blame themselves for the lack of outside development in their crime-ridden area.

  • Nice work. A true contribution! You guys are street poets.

    Have a great day ROBBiE3MM....

  • One line ROBBiE3MM was about my life. The whole post was one paragraph. Get a life A**W***! What...Do you work at a bank that went under? I was pointing out that not all check cashing places are in ghettos. Many people who are in business for themselves use check cashing. There are more options other then banks to choose from. I do wish that more credit unions were available in our area. We have only one who caters to government employees.

  • I use the check cashing places quit a bit. One was in a gas station. A mile down the road were gated communities with homes that are half million dollars. I pay all my bills, even my mortgage payment. The fee is on a % of your check. Less then the fees at a bank. I remember long ago getting my check cashed at a bar. They had a little iron cage. Banks had better watch it Walmart only charges $3.00 to cash your check. WHO REALLY NEEDS A BANK.

  • No one asked for you life story queer hawk

  • banks hold yer money but debt collectors have access to your account to. and the bank can freeze your account and block you from gettin your own money and giveit to a debt collector. thats why i use check cashing. hospital bills break me and the jpob i got hurt on blackballs me and "loses" the paperwork so i cant get coverage.

  • I know man. I use Check Cashing stores to cash my check. Banks charge more than check cashing stores do. I even use a Prepaid card as if it were my personal bank card

  • Why pay your bills any other way!?!

  • i was doing a small project for one of my classes where i talked about the black community and work force issues. i used your video to show how much it sucks for them. thanks for making this

  • nice! glad to be of service...

  • u guys gonne run around with € one day :p

  • if I die today, I win.

    epic nice video.

  • 7:26

    if i die today, i win!

  • this funny ass hell my dude lol

  • F-U-C-K-H-S-B-C!!!!

  • this is genius

  • lol "i need some drugs"

  • ''One thing i've learnt about debt is, if I die today - I win!''

  • The guy at 7:12 looks like Bernie Mac, the guy that died that played in Oceans 11/12/13 the black guy. :D He should be his replacement.

    R.I.P

  • Ghetto Big Mac.

    Bodega.

    Cereal is Dope.

    Urine Nation.

    and now Checkmate.

    5 instant internet classics to help save me, the consumer, money. especially when the economy is still fucked the fuck up! I'm livin a brand new lifesyle after these videos, and I Can't wait for the next one. Its changed my life.

  • Hilarious!!

  • America is weird. xD

  • And we wonder why the economy is in such a state...

  • Great video idea, well-executed, but I'd say a tad (4 minutes) too long.

    Keep 'em comin' fellas.

  • Do you think the video length may make it hard for a good number of people to watch this one?

  • na man i like those long vids more see hommies more entertainment long vids good!

  • No, but lacks information from both sides. See these check n cash places, rob from poor, but also help the poor. Especially those who are illegals and get paid with checks (under the table). MOst of these places just need a picture id. As oppose to banks who want ss, mutiple forms of i.d ect.. to open a bank account.

  • did you actually watch the whole movie? we do plenty of talking about poor people lacking access to the banking system. this isn't just a condemnation of check cashing places just like our flick bodega wasn't just a condemnation of those establishments.

  • The point is in poor neighborhoods is that, there are no banks there, cause there is no money to be made. No loans no Roth Ira accounts. And Check cash places are makin money just for poor people just to cash there checks.

  • Not to mention that they are high crime areas. And what person in their right mind would open a bank in an area that's subject to lose them money?

  • a bank that has bullet proof plastic and employees that can carry assault rifles

  • Banks are corrupt. It's inherent. I would never put my money in a bank just based on general principle. But I'm just stating that it would not be logical or beneficial for a bank to establish a branch in an area with a high crime rate and where there are going to be more withdraws then deposits. Lets be honest most ghettos don't have people putting money away for that trip to the Galapagos Islands. There's no pay off. Why pay for the bullet proof plastic and arsenal for your guards when you can

  • simply locate to a lower crime rate area where people have more money to put in your bank.

  • loves it!

  • My state is in debt 15 BILLION dollars [California]. My country is in debt TRILLIONS of dollars [U.S.A.]. Why can't i be in debt? Oh wait, i am! ha ha ha ha ha

  • Debt is Real. The word Mortgage is broken down as Mort -Death(Mortuary, Rigamortis) Gage-Gauge, or grip = DeathGrip. You want a 20 or 30 year DeathGrip ???

  • if i died today i wain. classic.

  • Really funny and informative . . . keep it up!

  • my comment is not working

  • this is just stupid... this country and the fuking whole world is going to hell now days....... GOD

  • johnyboya, how is this stupid, this is whats happening all around. Debt! its all the rage in Europe.

  • "I gotta say, the economy is fucked the fuck up". So wonderful.

  • What were you gonna do with that other nine cent?

    You were gonna fucking waste it.

    Nice.

  • Brilliant!

  • A surprisingly good super low budget documentary disguised as a funny web video... bravo!

  • F-U-C-K H-S-B-C !!!!!

  • gold

  • nevermind

  • is that bronx???

  • "debt is the new money"

    HAHA

  • he reminds me of patrice o'neal except patrice is from boston

  • Debt says, "I'm that upstais neighbor who likes to walk over your head."

  • plenty of banks here.. and wtf u dont need 10k to open an account

  • haha so much satire in this video clip

  • banks close around 5:30 actually...

  • Cheque cashing joint: brilliant idea!

    Banks suck!

  • what are you going to do with that 9 cents?

    your going to fucking waste it!

  • the poor stay winning!...loool

  • Banks, step your game up.

  • "We just tried to make it rain, we thought we'd enjoy it, but we regretted it immediately."

    Some banks act way too shady when it comes to fees (I mean they got to make money somehow, right?). Sometimes it seems like a better idea to give up 2% of your check to get your money than to mess with banks. Although, I wouldn't do it haha.

    Yo, you guys are hella funny. I probably watched this video about 5 times already. Thanks for posting.

  • "if I die today, I win"

    lol

  • "one thing about being in debt is that if i die, then I win." This video rocks

  • Somebody said slaves? hahaha we still have slavery in the usa. Today we are slaves to the banks

  • no the credit unions...

  • THE JESUS PIECE !!!

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • east coast = hideous people

  • poor ppl ftw!

  • You guys look like you haven't missing too many McDonald's burgers and fries.

  • Good point, well made. The rich stay rich by knowing how to reduce their tax bill. The poor folk don't get to write off the tax should pay, because they can't afford to pay an accountant to find out how to do it. The less you have, the more you pay. The poorest people often pay a higher percentage of their income in tax than the richest people. No fair? You could argue that it is survival of the fittest...

  • BIG TIP in the countries we live in we are only poor by choice!

  • Poor by choice? You are an idiot, 12 year olds should stay off the net.

  • get a job fatass

  • America the land of free loader

    Why the fuck poor people moan

  • I charged my cable bill just so I could wash

  • credit had me once. never again. cash only now, and no recurring bills. traveller=have liberty.

  • FU WaMu!!!

    I owed Washington Mutual $212 all in bounce fees, All because AOL ran a charge through, even though I canceled the account. Neither organization apoligized for this or offered to refund my money and for my inconvience AOL offered me three months free service. I told them what they can do with thier three free months and hung up the phone. I soon removed AOL from my computer, cancelled my AOL account againg just to be sure and asked for it in writing. I then closed my account with WaMu

  • how long did it take them to make this video? the black guy goes from having a five o clock shadow to almost a full beard, lol.

  • What I was saying is people who understand how credit and money works teach this understanding to thier children. These fundementals give your children a crucial understanding. IF you don't have a bank account it's really really hard to get credit, even if you earn alot of money.

  • Above is my response to Blucheez, who wrote "What you mean to say is that the sons of JP Morgan and the Carnegies don't use check cashing places because their parents taught them the fundamentals of exploiting the poor through capitalism. Get real about poverty meatball. Capitalism is built on exploitation of people and their resources."

  • please dont be mad at me!! i have to do this im not takin any chances!!!!

  • I never carry cash !

    In fact i am actually thinking about caning my credit into the red then faking my death!!

  • New Nas Song In My Channel.

  • The reason check cashing placing succeed is the majority of their clientèle are poor, poor people are lazy and therefor can't be bothered to go to a bank.

  • brilliant vid...

  • CHEACK OUT MY VIDSEOS

  • If I die today, I win

    Lmao

  • "Best line ever: "One thing I've learned about being in debt is that, I mean, if I die today, I win!" "

  • ye the world is slowli fucing up and im not from the rich fmalyes =[ realy hate the econamoy

  • the Chinese would take over!

  • i was entertained the whole video good job!!!!!

  • Congratulations on not picking up on the sarcasm. It doesn't matter objectively which way you spell it.

  • most people who use check cashing stores owe money to a bank for writing a bad check or are having their account garnished for some reason.

  • true, and people who owe child support & can't be putting money in no bank.

  • Is geico a bank???

  • Nice, and it's so true. It's FAR too easy to be in debt. Credit cards are where the debt's at. If people are just cashing checks and spending cash... they know they aren't living above their means. Credit cards, however, you can spend thousands of dollars of money that you just don't have and spend the rest of your life paying it back.

    Best line ever: "One thing I've learned about being in debt is that, I mean, if I die today, I win!"

  • next time skip the last part ;)

  • was that the Cut Chemist? totally looked like him at 4:56.

  • ha, people keep asking me that but nope it's not him.

  • Wait...

    Queens has way less money than Brooklyn.

  • I don't know about brooklyn vs queens but the bronx actually has both boroughs beat for not money havingest. You can check the actual fact in our video Bodega which was shot in the south bronx. Despite a few nice areas, the bronx is still the poorest urban county in america. But Dallas' comment has an air of truthiness and sometimes that's all that matters.

  • America sucks so much. Everyone is a hypocrite and America STOLE ALL ITS LAND.

  • At first I was skeptical about this video, but I watched the whole thing through and I really liked it. I thought it was funny and it gave me a good perspective on money in the city. The interviews were interesting. thanks.

  • I go to the bank myself..where I don't have to give anyone my hard earned money!!

  • These guys are hilarious!HAHA

  • "being poor isnt my problem its not having cash!!"

    love the sarcasm

  • 8:22 so dumb

    jackass

  • If you look at credit and how it is used what you see is this. Some people use credit to extend thier spending power, where as other people use credit as a convience and as a tool to build credit. I feel that spending habits are taught just like eating habits, so of course if your parents had good spending habbits you are more likely too as well. The sons of bankers aren't cashing thier first checks at check cashing places and that's something to think about.

  • What you mean to say is that the sons of JP Morgan and the Carnegies don't use check cashing places because their parents taught them the fundamentals of exploiting the poor through capitalism.

    Get real about poverty meatball. Capitalism is built on exploitation of people and their resources.

  • My point was the simialr to your contention with my post, it was implicit, however you added an element I did not originally have, I do not whole heartedly agree with that elment; paranoia. The rich wife who takes her daughter to the bank is not saying "See honey this is how we exploit the politcally disenfranchised, and the poor, it works for us but not for them." You should get real about poverty and stick to making videos with your friend. Goodluck on your future endevours.

  • Very good video. Funny as hell too xD

  • Excellent Video!

  • I'm not in the habit of posting comments but in this instance I felt compelled. This is brilliant! Social insight, contemporary social anthropology, real economics - these guys are urban philosophers with a sense of humour (yes, I'm English). More power to Dallas Penn & Rafi Kam and the crew.

  • you gotta be kidding me! Jewlery is more important than food in the hood?

  • Read tradegy and hope by carroll quigley and see how "experts" pick presidents many many years before they are "voted" into office. Don't be a braindead parrot like Brzezinski want you to be, the media is the father of all Big Lies, don't parrot the media, read and be enlightened. Yes, you are right, the Big Lie worked once again!

  • I enjoy the Wu-tang clan reference at the end xD.
