I came to LA when I was 18 and yes that gangbang, sherm and dust was outta control I almost got kill 2 weeks after I got there you gotta learn quickly the rules of the Street fast!!
I'm not from LA but my city copied the gang trend very well in the early 90s. Since my neighborhood was mostly crip, my older peoples who were active made sure I didn't see anything that was red🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️. It definitely has a psychological effect on you because till this day I have very minimal red clothing and blue been my color ever since. I was never involved with gang banging but represented my neighborhood.
Most Hip-hop Heads give Quik his credit. The Great Adventures of Slick Rick is my favorite album of all time, so the production and storytelling for Quik Is The Name is something I never get enough of
@@sofnaji My Bad Homie, No Disrespek Intended. I'm Going To Edit That Right Now, Thanks For Bringing That To My Attention... I'm Sure Auto Correct Changed It And I Didn't Notice.
The movie Colors set everything off. I grew up in a mostly Mexican part of LA in the 80s and even Mexican kids were going around asking each other if they were Crips or Bloods and wearing different color shoelaces. It was like Star Wars for the hood.
Quik did low key..loked out hood is him namin the streers in tree top..n the only song on quik is the name where is reppin the set Way 2 fonky no set trippin Safe n sound he let it hang he didnt give a fuck Ppl only focused on the cover the eiht disses But the title song safe n sound places quik in the rollin 40s when he moved with playa hamm ..2001 brownin on rollin 40 crip hood Sumthin 4 the mood he even takes the listener to the crip hood Ppl dont know quik was good on both sides N this when red n blue was at war
@@drumarsdeodorant5375 Well, the infamous Red Tape(the catalyst to the beef with MC Eith and CMW)was out way before Quik is The Name. Honestly, I thought Loked Out Hood was about him having various alterations with the Locs as he rapped about rolling through certain Crip hoods in Compton. On Way Too Funky, he was dissing at all seeing as he was going through problems with Profile Records(his label at the time). Even Eazy E(Kelly Park Crip) tried to get him over to Ruthless, but the record company filed a cease and desist order against Eazy from signing him.Then Eith and CMW came out with the first Duck Sick diss by the time Safe + Sound dropped. Quik was dripping for real. The album cover even further exemplified his affiliation with the Pirus(not to mention Suge was the executive producer on the album🙄). As far as getting love on both sides, he did produce records with both Blood and Crip rappers signed to Death Row when he came in temporarily. Dollarz and Sense was aimed solely at Eith & CMW and not other Crip rappers in general. A case can be made for The Game even through he's guilty by affiliation(by way of his older brother), but no other Blood banged their set harder than Quik

We didn’t have crips and bloods in my city at all when I was growing up but certain movies and songs started coming out and my entire city changed overnight.
Quik shit was classic. My brother and cousins had the original quik underground tape and he was going hard. Born and raised in bompton, dissing crips etc, but it was so hard u had to play it
It was Quik reppin’ Tree Top & MC Eiht reppin’ 159th St Tragnew Park a couple of years later. They are the 1st 2 prominent rappers that I heard shouting out a specific set.
@@1lifestyle112 they said nutty on their songs but they came out like 5 years later. Eiht and quik was doing that shit in the late 80s when nobody used to do it.
Theres multiple, + many of the groups individual sets and artists went on to release albums themselves, like NOTS, Sin Loc, Fo Clips, etc. Both B&C albums are amongst my favorites, the energy is unmatched and production is actually of very high quality with Battlecat doing a good amount of the production. DJ Vlad should get some of the (few) surviving rappers on the show to do an interview, like Sin Loc or Keke Loco.
Snoop is fake NOW but I can tell you for a fact that he was reppin’ RTC in Long Beach before making it big even though everyone knew that he was a rapper
@J. Mtz Much respect to Ice T but he wasn't banging on wax. He's a r60 affiliate but never actually banged the set. Quik was the first to bang his set on record.
Vlad you gotta start making these clips longer! Especially when the artist doesn't say anything with real substance in the clip. This clip should be at least 5-10 minutes longer...
Definitly. i always watch youtube when i am eating a meal. In 4 minutes i cant even finish half of my plate. I think they should be about 10 minutes long. And they used to be, vlad changed that for whatever reason
First person I remember going mainstream gang banging was Compton's Most Wanted 89 or 90 but I remember in 91 when Dj Quik came out with the Born and Raised in Compton and he was in a magazine in a Full length Chicago Bears Jacket and if you wasn't from that gang life what you didn't know is that Chicago Bears even tho it was blue represented Bloods because of the big B they used. Everybody wanted one of the jackets in my school not even knowing they was repping Bloods.
Quik was the first rapper doin it. Specific streets. Even naming specific people him and his set only knew of to show his authenticity. Even the way he spelled his name. Influenced a lot bruh underrated
Vlad forgets he did an interview in 2015 with MC Eiht which he stated that record labels weren't standing for all the gang shit and at first him and Quik didn't claim affiliation. Quik mentioned it on the Red Tape but didn't let it be known he was Piru until he joined the ranks of Death Row Records
Eazy had Crip references in his songs before most of these dudes. He also shouted out Nutty Blocc and Grape Street Watts. His shit was pretty subtle though
Eazy wasn’t repping crips. Quik started with all that bullshit. Then suge knight and his artists took it to another level.then the east coast rappers got in the color game
@Chris Spencer sorry listening to the early Eazy E and NWA records not once were crips or bloods mentioned!!! We can all look it up and read about it but back in 88 no NWA or Eazy E records had anything to say about crips or bloods, listen to the records not straight off the streets of Compton he made reference on that record
Matthew 5:43-48 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?
I believe that even when DJ Quik had the line about the Tree's. The masses who listened to Hip-Hop/Rap at the time didn't really know what DJ Quik was referring to. Like Tray Dee, stated, the line was so concealed within the rap, that the masses of fans who listened to Hip-Hop at the time didn't really catch it. It was basically, part of the rap. I don't think rapper's started saying the name of the neighborhoods until the late 90's early 2000's in my opinion.
A few things go into why artists didn't explicitly mention their gang affiliations: 1] For many, music was a way to get out of street life/the hood. 2] Since rap wasn't mainstream yet their audience was already limited, so they needed their music to be accepted by as many people in that audience as possible to make money. 3] Many of them were raised with that old school respect, so they were used to keeping their street life separate from other aspects of their lives. I'm not a fan of Vlad TV, but I will watch each & every clip of BG & Tray Dee. They are Southern Cal. Hip Hop historians that always drop knowledge & wisdom about the culture, not just the artists or songs. ✊🏾
Not sure what Vlad's talking about. Dj Quik never talked about his gang affiliation on record. The closest he came was when he said on one verse "I'm down with the Trees..."
The cover of Pun's debut album was all decked out in black and gold and Pun wore black and gold all the time. He didn't say LK in his songs, but he had the colors. Same with Fat Joe's album Don Cartegina.
There was literally a joint album of bloods vs crips , I remember we had "The Box" in Phoenix and they would play piru love and steady dippin back to back to back to back to back 😭yeah the music has something to do with it big time!
Quik deserves to mentioned next to Dre bc Quik is a musician & has more output than him. The things Dre put out as a producer & as a solo artist doesn't match Quik, but Quik doesn't get his props. Quik gets all the props from me
The first rappers to really put on banging in they music was true blue!, n.o.t.s., lil keke loco was the main rapper, plus lil squee bastard, from east coast crip, an a couple other cat's!, keke loco was a real producer, wit the coldest slaps!!!, bangin on wax came next!, but there production was all over the place!, with horrific raps!, plus they where on the album cover with masks on!, very stupid move for so called street cat's!, but through all that mediocre music they did have a star outshining that wack ass project!, his name was b brazy!, an even us cat's from the blue skies had ta admit, that boy was cold wit it!!!
"Miami Vice is small-time, LA's the big league. From the Rolling 60s to the Nickerson Gs, Pueblos, Grapes Street, this is what I see. The jungles the 30sthe VNGs, life in LA ain't no cup of tea." - Ice T That was the first time I'd heard gangs mentioned on a record. 1987. But we had already heard of Crips and Bloods in the Bay by then.
It's funny how life turns full circle. See just because Quik was Piru, that didn't mean it over ran his life. Hell he did shit with plenty of Crip rappers even while beefing with Eiht. Eazy E for starters. People be reaching far with the gangbang shit 😂🤣. Respect first.
cripping was bad in the 80s and 90s. i knew crips who went as far with it not touching anything that had red like a bag of dorritos 🤣🤣🤣🤣

B. O. Agreed. Even the diss track against MC Eiht was legendary.
👍👍
He’s neck n neck with Dre
Sadly too many people do and he just may not be properly appreciated until he’a gone and passed away.
Quik is an absolute legend, got 5 or 6 of his albums in rotation, especially Rosecrans
Rosecrans is an underrated classic
Next to James Brown, NOBODY had a more dope perm then DJ Quik

They got Mexican gangs still around from the 1940s. What are you talking about
Michael Jackson's Beat Video, put LA Gang Bangers on The National Scene in 82!
David Duarte, not the part of LA I grew up in 80s & 90s. Mexicans did not jive with blacks.
Colors ? Yeah Dwn South & the Midwest.The Material cam from the Hood,How a movie do anything. Like the Valley in 88 maybe,Not even there now.
🤣 i don’t think so homie. Our people had their own gangs. Even tho i rode with the bloods, we had our own Mexican gangs/hoods. .
Quik will forever be my fav rapper and producer of all time
Safe and Sound is always in my rotation
Get at me still goes crazy in the ride
Mc eiht said back then they couldn't claim their hoods in their music because the record labels won't allow it so they had to do it on the down low
Eazy was independent on his own label
Quik did low key..loked out hood is him namin the streers in tree top..n the only song on quik is the name where is reppin the set
Way 2 fonky no set trippin
Safe n sound he let it hang he didnt give a fuck
Ppl only focused on the cover the eiht disses

None of quiks mixtapes red tape or the roadium stuff had disses towards eiht or no other rapper he was set trippin.. not really set trippin but jus reppin the trees hard
Eiht had ppl in his ear about the red tape .. eiht n mike t was Rydin around jammin it n mike t was a blood
Was no problem until eiht was bangin in the hood n they made somethin out of nothin he was givin em shout outs
It’s a reason why he has on the jacket on the way 2 fonky cover
Avg listener didn’t pick up on none of the stuff on some of the songs on quik is the name
Quik is the name quik in itself the c is missing can be took two ways he from Compton n didn’t wanna disrespect crips with ck or he piru n c ain’t in is his name fuck em
He did the political route n use the didn’t wanna disrespect crips by puttin the c
Then there is loked out hood .. loked is actually spelled loc it’s a crip sayin .. yet quik spells it loked ... then quik starts the song sayin one day I was chillin on aranbe and spruce ... he pins points exactly the hood he is from spruce is the street quik is from .. so automatically quik is representing n set trippin .. for further measure closing the song he says a fool jumped out all dressed in guess shot em in the chess
If u ever seen the movie called the wood ... think about the time when mike and the boys ran into Stacy robbin the store
Mike was the only one dressed in guess n had on a North Carolina hat to match .. it was bloods outside the store n slim and the other homie told mike to take the hat off
Every crip I knew growin up wore guess and had either a cowboys unc Georgetown cap to match
So the person shot on loked out hood came to quiks hood n got shot 9 times out of 10 was a crip
“ so all y’all remember that we can’t be stopped.. what’s the name of my hood ???”
Tree top rhymes with be stop
Crips across the country had it out for quik
So way to fonky he wasn’t mad at the label yet ..that Compton jacket .. was him sayin fuck it y’all know where I’m from now no sense in hidin it
Way to fonky was quiks official first time dissin eiht
He said he never dissed em he was a fan of cmw.. but since 8 had the battery in his back sayin fuck quik .. it’s fuck him too n quik let it hang
Safe n sound is when he was mad at profile .. quik was probation from 93-94 - quik was workin at death row then
Suge came in the picture if u have the safe n sound album or u can look it up on discog u can find the cover .. every song was written by Dante Blake .. quik name is david .. quik used Dante n a new publishing to eat good off safe n sound
The cover spells out quik if u open it all the way up the k .. look at quik he is givin the finger n look at his shirt it’s a death row records
He had the shirt on in the safe n sound video too
Safe n sound the single was huge across the country
All of sudden a record stations started puttin disclaimers sayin they don’t condone the use or the sale of narcotics
They eventually pulled the song off the radio u couldn’t request none of the singles off the album unless u was in California
Quik was suspended indefinitely.. look in dogg pounds dogg food credits David Blake is listed quik couldn’t be used on shit .. so when quik was full time at death row all eyes on me all u see is David Blake in the credits
Breh I pretty much know everything. About quik death row and eiht
U know a lil bit but a lot of it is waaay off
We didn’t have crips and bloods in my city at all when I was growing up but certain movies and songs started coming out and my entire city changed overnight.
I bet they was pissed because DJ Quik is real witty and sarcastic and sharp the way he rap for a West Coast rapper

Who remember the Bloods & Crips album?
Theres multiple, + many of the groups individual sets and artists went on to release albums themselves, like NOTS, Sin Loc, Fo Clips, etc. Both B&C albums are amongst my favorites, the energy is unmatched and production is actually of very high quality with Battlecat doing a good amount of the production.

These BG Knocc Out vlad tv interviews/clips are dope. He seems like a cool person n has a chill vibe.
Compton's Most Wanted, MC Eiht, X-Raided, Brotha Lynch Hung... I think all these specific rappers were rapping Sets before Snoop Dogg
Vlad you gotta start making these clips longer! Especially when the artist doesn't say anything with real substance in the clip. This clip should be at least 5-10 minutes longer...
First of all his name is "Glad" ! Lets get it together...

@Chris Spencer he never mentioned that on his record Eazy duz it that's what knockout is talking about it was DJ quik who was banging on record
@Fact Check Quiks underground tapes came out before banging on wax
I have a very similar story listening to Quik, riding the RTD as a kid
Matthew 5:43-48
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?
I believe that even when DJ Quik had the line about the Tree's. The masses who listened to Hip-Hop/Rap at the time didn't really know what DJ Quik was referring to. Like Tray Dee, stated, the line was so concealed within the rap, that the masses of fans who listened to Hip-Hop at the time didn't really catch it. It was basically, part of the rap. I don't think rapper's started saying the name of the neighborhoods until the late 90's early 2000's in my opinion.
@Fact Check They were more underground. I'm speaking on the mainstream California artist at the time.
BG "Absolutely" Knockout
Well "Absolutely" it's the Knockout definition original baby gangsta
A few things go into why artists didn't explicitly mention their gang affiliations: 1] For many, music was a way to get out of street life/the hood. 2] Since rap wasn't mainstream yet their audience was already limited, so they needed their music to be accepted by as many people in that audience as possible to make money. 3] Many of them were raised with that old school respect, so they were used to keeping their street life separate from other aspects of their lives.
I'm not a fan of Vlad TV, but I will watch each & every clip of BG & Tray Dee. They are Southern Cal. Hip Hop historians that always drop knowledge & wisdom about the culture, not just the artists or songs. ✊🏾
I can say Dipset blew up the Bloods in NY. They were already in NY since the early 90s, but Dip Set is what made it mainstream.
@Andre Ricardo Bryant That was pre-Bloods. Bloods in NYC started in the jails in 1993. It didn't hit the streets until 1994. Fuck Compton was 1991.
Not sure what Vlad's talking about. Dj Quik never talked about his gang affiliation on record. The closest he came was when he said on one verse "I'm down with the Trees..."
There’s stories about after “Colors” came out. Suddenly there were Crip and Bloods on my reservation. 😂😂
Fat Joe is from Terror Squad which is not just a music group, it’s a gang from the Bronx which named the music group
The cover of Pun's debut album was all decked out in black and gold and Pun wore black and gold all the time. He didn't say LK in his songs, but he had the colors. Same with Fat Joe's album Don Cartegina.
Do quiks one of the legends of the legends one of my favourites of all time
Love listening to BG man I wanna meet him one day i think I’d get a lot of game and knowledge from him
BG is the only reason why I know about Nutty Blocc. I always wondered why he wore NY hats even though he’s from the west coast
So glad when are you gone interview DJQuik
The TerrorSquad logo is LITERALLY black and gold
Yep, we could see it but I guess Glad is referring to speaking on it on records
I don’t remember none of them dudes ever being Lk
Lyndon Simmons they were just lowkey they had real ties with King Blood
Mike DTG 5L oh shit I really didn’t know that that’s what it is tho
I fuck with some LK they kool
Crippin' was 20 years old by the time COLORS (1988) came out.
Yeah but they talking about people knowing who they really were in the media.
The movement is so different now. Sets rock all sorts of different colors now like Rainbow Mafia.
There was literally a joint album of bloods vs crips , I remember we had "The Box" in Phoenix and they would play piru love and steady dippin back to back to back to back to back 😭yeah the music has something to do with it big time!
Can we get the DJ Quik interview?
Dude listen I would go crazy if my uncle did that lol especially dj quik that’s like one of the greats I would’ve spazzed lol
"I'M the first nigga that was banging on Wax, if you remember, '87 underground tapes" - DJ Quik "Dollaz and Sense" outro
This guy should've played a young dr.dre in straight outta compton or even in a dr.dre biopic
He doesn't like Dre and Dre's scared of him
@@Countmacula666 how u know ?? 🤔
@@scarletbouvier520 him and Easy E made a diss record against Dr Dre and snoop called Real Motherfucking G's
BG said that movie was all bullshit so I doubt he would want any involvement with it
If BG and dr.dre were in a line up together, everyone will point them out to be twinning lol
Vlad gets all his history from movies.
its da knocc out definition original baby gangsta
I really do love this channel
Still waiting full interview of WC
I believe bg with tapes breaking especially that part Of Compton he is from being the westside yes that sounds accurate back then
Peace ... I knew about the gangs since 82... my cousin was a West Covina Crip.. or a Crip... was killed in 84
Dj quil went to the secret meeting To help the prison industry
Micheal Jackson did Beat It with real Bloods in Crips.. first time ever they got a long..
Quik deserves to mentioned next to Dre bc Quik is a musician & has more output than him. The things Dre put out as a producer & as a solo artist doesn't match Quik, but Quik doesn't get his props. Quik gets all the props from me
Colors came out in 84/85 where is dude getting his info
Daaaaamn his uncle wasn't playing
Original Baby Gangsta!
Quik the best out the West. I said what I said.
Schoolly D is the OG of what became gangsta rap. P.S.K. was his affiliation as well as his debut single.
The title is Gangsta asf!!!
The first rappers to really put on banging in they music was true blue!, n.o.t.s., lil keke loco was the main rapper, plus lil squee bastard, from east coast crip, an a couple other cat's!, keke loco was a real producer, wit the coldest slaps!!!, bangin on wax came next!, but there production was all over the place!, with horrific raps!, plus they where on the album cover with masks on!, very stupid move for so called street cat's!, but through all that mediocre music they did have a star outshining that wack ass project!, his name was b brazy!, an even us cat's from the blue skies had ta admit, that boy was cold wit it!!!
That might be true but they wasn't FrontPage mainstream like NWA DJ Quik Compton's most wanted
👍🏽👍🏽
Way more 2 from cali it's just underground as fuck not even on youtube
Eazy Duz it came out in 87 frsss I toby there music goes back to 89
This title got me fuckin dying
Quik a goat
BG Knocc Out 🔥
"Miami Vice is small-time, LA's the big league. From the Rolling 60s to the Nickerson Gs, Pueblos, Grapes Street, this is what I see. The jungles the 30sthe VNGs, life in LA ain't no cup of tea." - Ice T
That was the first time I'd heard gangs mentioned on a record. 1987. But we had already heard of Crips and Bloods in the Bay by then.
It's funny how life turns full circle. See just because Quik was Piru, that didn't mean it over ran his life. Hell he did shit with plenty of Crip rappers even while beefing with Eiht. Eazy E for starters. People be reaching far with the gangbang shit 😂🤣. Respect first.
Yeah Pun was spitting lit in his raps
Spruce Street if u know u know he needs a interview to tell his story.
The DJ Q-U-I-k with no c in it
My mom broken my A Tribe Called Quest tape(electric single). That Shirt Tray Dee has on is nice🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤
