The Roy Crutchfield Homicide in 1974 is about the night Mack Thomas and some younger Compton Crips took a ride down Hoover Street in South Los Angeles. While throwing up gang signs at a group of people believed to be Brims, their dark colored Cheverolet was hit with glass bottles.

Growing up my father always told me to avoid establishments that allowed people to hang around outside, because anything can happen...it took me seeing incidents like this to understand for myself
One more reason FATHER'S are so vital to a child's upbringing especially a young BLK male 💯💪
Smart father. To this day, I keep to myself.
Wise words.
Literally just expressed ride to a Bodega in my hood .. I told them all summer that the ambiance outside the store was changing, and would get ugly if they didn't stop it. Somebody got smoked in there 2 weeks ago smh... Now they close at 930pm and open 830am... They were 24 hours prior too

Great research, KevMac, love the facts and the historical context that reflects a time period outsiders want be able to comprehend the nature of why and what we do. It's a complex violent history, but true history. EXCELLENT JOB !
Melly good looking out.

I had to take a break from watching this content because it hurt my spirit seeing so many young Black men murdered for absolutely nothing. I happened to see this clip come up in my subs and looking at Roy’s young face made me want to watch.
Unbelievable. Just a kid. Wrong place, wrong time. I wonder how his family is doing today? Did they move back to the East Coast? How do you move on mentally/emotionally after something so senseless and tragic? God bless his remaining family.

Same here. So much wasted potential and unnecessary trauma!
Yeah that was a hell of a docu piece Kev. It's interesting the way you cover All of this Los Angeles history it's like putting pieces of the puzzle together for our historic legacy in its proper context.
An early morning gem, appreciate it KevMac! Needed it, Respect!!
Locked in with the King of UA-cam..respect OG
Much love and respect big homie. This Big Skill Craft from 40's. Never knew of Roy Crutchfield until now. I lived on 42nd and Hoover and always went to the store(THE WINE BARREL) I appreciate the history
SOME Of The Best Content You'll Ever Run Across KEV MAC VIDEOS Holding It Down!! 🔥🔥🔥💙✌🏽😎
I was waiting on Mac Thomas this made my pre work day
So Mack Thomas is from Covington, TN. The first time I ever heard of Covington was from reading some info on Isaac Hayes way back in the day when I bought many of his albums. He was born there. He left Covington too, it was a very hard place, but he didn't go all the way to west coast; just down the road to Memphis where he helped make Stax Records a thing. He was peaking in the late 60s/ early 70s, about the same time Thomas and The Crips were budding. It is probably safe to say that Ike is Covington's "favorite son."
Stanley Williams' side kick Buddha, like Mack Thomas was from Tennessee also, but I don't know the city. Buddha Records started just a little before the Crips were being organized. New York mobsters ran a big part of it for a while. It was peaking around the same time Crip- Buddha was thugging it out and was killed. The Buddha name is just a coincidence, but there is a definite Tennessee connection and influence in crippin I guess. By the way Ike had a series of tracks called "Ike's Rap." It was the first time I ever heard the word "rap" associated with music. Now I ain't saying he started the movement, not at all, I'm just saying it was the first time I personally heard the term used for a track, that's all. Ah, Covington! Hell, I'm going to go Google Earth and do a fly over just to see what it looks like today! Probably worse. If Mack Thomas' parents went back to Tennessee it was probably because the pain of his death in LA County was greater staying there than the pain of going back home.
GREAT HISTORY THERE.
OKLAHOMA IS ANOTHER PLACE THAT FOLKS FROM TO CALIFORNIA.
IN FACT HOOVER CRIPS ARE DEEP OUT IN OKC
GRAPE ST IS DEEP IN MEMPHIS
R60’S IS DEEP IN ST LOUIS & ATLANTA
LOS ANGELES GANGS ARE ALL OVER THE SOUTH.
@@2Pkb25 >You mentioned Oklahoma. Oklahoma is a little unusual in that it included some major white migration. The migration got so huge in CA in the 30s that the state had highway patrolmen stopping people including whites at the CA border. They would not let anybody in despite that act being unconstitutional! White Oklahomans fleeing the "dust bowl" were deemed "white niggers" to many Californians at the time. You mentioned Grape Street. The plight of migrants from OK inspired the book "Grapes of Wrath." I know it is unrelated, but just bringing up the word had some slight connection. That would be a hell of a name for a Grape Street gang, "Grapes of Wrath." I doubt if they would be singing the Battle Hymn of the Republic, however! 😬
My grandparents (father and mother side) are from central Texas and they went to the LA area in the 50s so they were part of the black Texans' migration. Other relatives that didn't make it all the way to LA, settled in west Texas and picked cotton where ever it grew in west Texas. The ones from central Texas that didn't go west, stayed in Texas picking cotton. Some acquired land and did some simple farming.
@@delstanley1349daz is from oklahoma. the most lethal crip that ever lived
Kev your work is always excellent. It's not just gang history. It's Los Angeles history. And these are stories that need to be told. I know your focus is gangs. But maybe you could do a short video specifically on the Great Migration and how it impacted the Black demographics of Los Angeles. It always amazes me when I read your comment sections and someone is surprised that some OG from that first or second generation was born down South.
If you have already done a video like this then disregard this comment. Keep up the good work brother.
Thanks for sharing these stories of less talked about gang members
The new intro is hard. I like how u keep switching it up

Another 🔥 episode! I like how the DJ slowed down that Marvin Gaye at the end, almost like DJ Screw outta Texas! Keep um coming Kev! ✌️
Kev Mac should be Henry "Skip" Gates of LA Gang culture. He should actually have genealogists comb through archives to uncover history of significant gang members, their family history, family tree and reveal it to them or their surviving families...
I believe there needs to be an encyclopedia (accommodated with footnotes, genealogy, news paper clippings, photos, news reels, criminal court cases, annotations, etc.) and with a KMV DVD/jump drive to research the material. It's the only way to fully document the culture. Kev might not be able to carry such a Hurculean task but I'm sure black colleges could
No Kev Mac does not skip the truth like "skip" gates.

Kev Mac you have to do one on Boothill Reggie. He was older than all of these dudes including Craig Munson. He was born in the 1940’s. They said he attacked a White man at Compton High with a hatchet.

Another great video
Another one!

Excellent story
Roy fly in that pic
How did Mack die?
He had an altercation with one of the members of his hustlers crew, for the share of the heist i think both of them got fatally injured
@@stylezp829 Was it a bank robbery heist? And he beat the Kenny murder case ?
@@stylezp829 yup as Tookie said in his book. It not said in the video but he went to prison (maybe for this or not idk) when he got out he stop Crippin and became a hustler said he wasn't interested in Crippin anymore and the rest is what you said
COMPTON CRIPS OUT LOOKING FOR L.A BRIMS ?? NUFF SAID
That crossed my mind.
All out war, Crips vs Brims....
Clearly Brims was a force to be reckoned with at the time. When Crip & Blood (or anti-Crip if you will) still stood for something other than what it's become....
Mac was Crippin hard period
They was on a mission for real
KEEP IN MIND MAC THOMAS IS ORIGINALLY OUT THE EASTSIDE NOT COMPTON. SO HE KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING
Kev Mac what happened to the original intro, a video of this quality deserve to be blessed. 🔥👍🏿😎
Reserved for interviews only
Great history kev Your The Best
I use to hear stories abt Mac Thomas by the elders.
Yessuuhhh! Let's go!!
A Kevmac the hardest came off that Eastside ain't that right😁👊🏽
Kev Mac is that your brother in the intro he look just like u with braids og
Swere it do !!

What she say? “I’m the driver and the shooter”.
I remember this one dude from Lynwood told me and Melly Mel that she lying she was never a banger, and then she catch all these shooting cases, lol.
Moral to the story… you can’t speak on what you don’t know, stick to what you know. 🤣
Hell yeah her music so hard she definitely with the bizness fool
Need to do a segment on this cripplet
Kev always do that A1 Carfax fool

First off shout to the founder of KMV Big KevMac also shout out Smac what that 60 like what that KMV like fool
Raymond Tookie Mac Thomas OOOGs
I'm still surprised Mac Thomas & the Compton Crips got down with the Pirus early on
I learned some history today. Now I somewhat know why the name "Mac" is common among Crips. Correct me if I'm wrong.
@@elijahstraight402 Bodacious from Nhood CC said Puttin and Mac Thomas was kinda kickin it b4 the Grandees, and Head Huncho said him Puttin & Mac were in class together were friends once upon a time, but moved to Piru St and the rest is history
@@dscgodflow6663 I can believe. A.C. Babalouie said many times that Compton wasn't a huge city like LA. Also, he said that most of the original Pirus knew or were kicking with both Mac Thomas and Raymond Washington on various occasions when the Crips first started out in 69'. Still, I never found how The Pirus & Mac started beefing initially, but I'm willing to bet Puddin' was involved somehow. And then came the Bloods...
Do some more Brim shit !

Love ur platform KM. I don't like the new theme song though. The first one is off the chain...for the damus and locs...yeah that joint hard...
Yeap i like that every time I see cisco( Mac)
I get chills some cats you just miss…….
Kev Mac you should do another interview with Tony Stacy. See can there be an understanding with the Hoover’s so they can come back into the Crip family. There has to be a peace treaty! And so you Hoover’s know their true history and that Tookie was just tripping in his book.
He ain’t doing anymore interviews with me too much drama.
Hoover’s are that far gone? Because down here they still bang Crip and put their blue flag on the front left side. Some wear the orange but they are still Crips. If not Tony Stacy their has to be some mature dude from neighborhood to come forward and admit the truth. I’m no gang expert but there has to be some dialogue between Hoover’s and Neighborhood in order to reunite the west side Crips.
@@bs10098121reunite the West Side Crips?
How about reuniting LA Black's period? Gang culture has really stunted the consciousness of the community

Good one.

What's a farmdog
who is that guy standing in the middle of mcthomas though, in that flick. they had his picture in the video "once upon a time" by bg knocc out and cut everyone else out.
cant blame kenny
How did Mac Thomas die?
@6:34
We road ponies throughout the city of Baltimore in the 70s. One thing for sure those horses knew when it was time to go back to the stables. No use in trying to stop them or slow them down. Just hang on for dear life. Wild times.
CC IN PEACE MAC THOMAS
It's Richland Farm I Was?
Alright Mac Thomas passed away in 1978. Tyrone Tate claims that Mac was a, straight up BK and wouldn't even drink red kool-aid 🤔 so the color bangin was going on like that when he was alive? I think Tyrone be puttin a little extra on it 🤷🏾♂️
Tookie said in his book, The Crips started carrying Blue rags hanging out hanging to the left out of respect for his enforcer Buddah, who was killed in 74 or 75. Mac joined up with Raymond and Tookie already during this period, so it makes sense.
@@elijahstraight402 Buddha was killed in 73
W/S Brims & W/S Crips chose opposing Colors in 73 not 75
@@westside8514 You're right Cuz. I was off by 2 years. I knew it was the early 70's when it started. Just couldn't remember which year. My point was the Blue rags thing started long before Mac got killed, which is why he didn't associate with anything Red
@@elijahstraight402 the red rags came AFTER the blue. Rips was wearing blue before the Blood alliance existed

In the Video , Kev's Flashes a Page from Tookies Book that tells You.
@6:34
How did Mack Thomas die ? And where ?
Tookie wrote that mack started getting involved in making money heavy, and his hustler cronies backdoored him to pocket his share of a heist or his dope or whatever. The Police said it was suicide, but the crips are adamant about him dying from foul play by his shady hustler cronies. He died in 1978 i believe
I was told he was killed over some rims by his own home, and was not Crispin any more
Kev can yu do 1 abt the murder of Mac thomas
All I know is allegedly over a dispute about robbery money and the guy is still alive that might not be cool especially without having any facts.

the farmers
rip George wade farmers
Seeem to me like all the real gangbangers came from Tennessee further down south and that’s where my folks came from they landed in Washington DC to be exact NORTHEAST DC but soon as the riots came, got crazy I was six we move too north Virginia halls hill and been there last 46 years I was second of my family to run with a neighborhood crew halls hill hustlers the DEA TOOK US DOWN 1996 me and one homeboy where the only ones to getaway with out being charged cus they sold to dea agent like fools I knew that them two new faces buying
The whole southern part of the US
This ain’t about you bruh.
90% of black people lived down south back then. 80% of the us population lives in the east coast or down south currently. So of course all the "gangbangers come from the south
@@mceithdavis3462 you told your whole life story like if you was important 😂😂😂 goofy
They came from South not because they were "real". They came because that's where most of the Black people in America lived at the time. So if they are forming a Black gang in that time period most of the originals are going to be from down South. You have to remember the Black population of Los Angeles exploded after WWII ended in 1945. There was a huge influx of Blacks coming from the South. Prior to this there very few Blacks in L.A.
Also Tookie was born in New Orleans. Raymond Washington was born in Los Angeles. In fact, most from that generation that were born out of state were either from Louisiana or Texas.
Do the bangin on wax dudes all of them
