Shit was crazy in the 80s bruh....I had to walk through all this everyday to get to Denker Park for practice...nigga basically had to pick a side or you fighting everyday
I remember being a student at USC back in 2004. One of the mothers in my church son was from Rollin 20s-Kevin “Big Evil” was murdered by 18 Street. I remember driving down Jefferson from USC... the 20s were out heavy on Jefferson Blvd a day after it happen in a show of force. Also, USC police patrol that area heavy as well as the LAPD. Many USC police are former LAPD.
My older cousin from FTB I took him through his hood he showed me another strong hold apartment for them on Catalina. At the same time, USC got security standing on every single corner! On the back streets! That was a trip
Skipp you hit this right on the head! I grew up right near Jefferson and Raymond Ave. From 37th St School, to Holy Name, Foshay, to Manual Arts and not to mention playing Pop Warner in Inglewood and baseball at Rancho Park next to Dorsey, I couldn't tell you how many close calls I made it through. Choosing the right path just walking to school, to the store or to grab a burger back in late 70s early 80s was treacherous! Great video!
I grew up between western and Washington/Venice, went to 24th elementary and mount Vernon jr high. It was crazy how close the 20’s and 30’s were. Half of em was kinda related thru their Belizean heritage.
Everytime I watch these videos. It blows my mind how these guys are a block away from each other. Just imagine how many times it was "on sight" with each other. 😯😯
Yo u from Jersey too!?! and also yea that's what's sad...I live here in LA now and I here the stories constantly of how back in the day these guys literally all knew each other went to elementary and Jr high together...know each other's families and everything and once they got to their teenage/early twenties years they literally started hunting each other down for sport because their neighborhoods now divided them...some sad and scary shit...LA is still very bad from what I can see but it also has calmed down a lot from what my people who grew up here all tell me... gentrification is real!
Grew up in this neighborhood. 35th and Walton ave off of Jefferson (FTB). Went to 32nd street elementary school. That was my walk to school everyday on Jefferson. One other thing I remember was a lot of Mexican and latino gangs that would be in our area beefing. Had to keep your head on a swivel. I remember on the corner on Vermont and Jefferson before they built that ladder day saint church, that was an open area where they would have those little hood carnivals with rides and food. Everyone would come and it would be all good. Occasional fight but everyone would keep it respectful with peoples families there. We all grew up so close together and new people from other hoods that were literally right across the street. I learned so much during those years and if you are like me and still breathing and able to comment on this post, you know how precious life is and what you had to do to get here to this point. You have an understanding unlike anything anyone not from this area could ever begin to understand. This was a crazy time when even the PD was a gang set trippin in the neighborhood. Great video! This one really took me back. Thank you!
I grew up on 37th Place & Catalina FTB hood. I thank the guy above for watching over me. I always used to be walking to all three of the neighborhoods to visit friends. I was one of the few, that they didn’t join a gang. God bless!
This gave me a chill. I really feel for the kids in that situation, because I can almost do the same video in St Louis. Also between gangs that have decades of history, and dozens of bodies. I got shot in a drive by 7x by mistaken, identity by a kid young enough to be my son. In moved in an apt complex that was warring with gangs on 3 sides of em.
I remember when they first built the Burger Palace and when Curtis dad had the arcade, getting candy at Mr. Adams store and getting my haircut at Jones barbershop .......Your videos are nothing but true facts!!! Growing up in Harlem and that area in general was no joke....
nah bro what u doing is monumental...you literally probably saved people's lives with this video...many people probably had no idea just how potentially dangerous those neighborhoods were until you educated them.. I'm originally from Jersey and I live in LA now...the hood in LA can be very misleading because it kinda looks nice (in comparison to New Jersey hoods) but trust and believe these LA palm trees and sunshine filled neighborhoods can turn deadly in a heartbeat..I have my family out here so I spend very little time in the hood in LA..not tryna have my son around a certain element and energy but I definitely respect the OGs in LA who doing what you're doing trying to educate and make a change..salute King!

Good vid. My old stomping grounds. Lived deep in Harpys (Vermont/24th) hood in the 20's and went to Foshay and Manual Arts. Got hit up once by the FTBs walking home from Foshay and got into it with a Harlem 30 on Denker. Funny thing is, I had friends from all 3 gangs and didnt gang bang.
I grew up on 30th St between Western & St Andrews. I never banged but been banged on and shot at by 20's growing up. Gentrification is real. I went to the military in '83 when crack was starting to really hit. Can you imagine if all the ballers had bought all that real estate and held on to it?
Man thats crazy that shit is 2 close 4 comfort and i feel you about us being kicked out of our hoods n varrios making it better 4 them but not us.... raising the rents we cant afford... not helping us but clearing enthic cleansing of long time black n brown neighborhoods 4 its like their corraling us to all move to them valley towns which is like the wild west nowadays with transplants from towns having to click up again 4 protection in a new town crazy
It’s crazy cause I use to live out there, we lived at 27th and 7th ave and I went to 6th ave... back then it was a middle school and Elementary. I remember telling everybody about GDs and vice lord...
Love what you’re doing. I stayed off Catalina for short time period, and it’s crazy how much gentrification and cameras have changed things. Keep spreading the positive message and making the younger generation think about what they’re doing.

By our own decisions. Did the they name the gangs too? When the gangs got together them theys were standing there making the rules? Giving orders. I believe we own this.
My Grandparents lived on 27th and Arlington. I’m from DC but loved that neighborhood. I have found memories of playing outside around there in the 80s as a child. I remember there used to be this hill that was like a roller coaster. You would go down and then it would dip and go down again. Does that sound familiar to any of y’all locals? I think they reconstructed that road so that it wasn’t like that anymore. As a child, I never once felt in danger in that neighborhood.💯
A nigga saw star wars at the University Village back in 1977...Bought groceries at either 32nd street market or thriftys on adams and Vermont...Went to Vermont elementary school...Ate at one of the original Jack in the box on Vermont just past adams...Bought candy from sun moon liquor...And bakery goods from the bakery on adams near catalina...Mom's moved us over there in 1971 ... 1535 west 23rd street...
I lived on Washington and 12th Ave when I was kid back in the 80s. It was busy to say the least. A lot of people got hurt on Bronson, 18th St, and the alley off of 10th and 18th.
It’s peaceful today yesterday I can bet not the same . It’s amazing the way things change over words. The effects of words play a big role things work out. Night time I bet its the jump off.
Hey Skipp, I might know u, or my sister Gigi, but I know that area o so well, moved on Walton & 29th in 1972, and lived in LA all my life, in Tristate area now, but so much has changed, as it should, but there's nowhere like it, the best thing you could ever do is change locations and get a education.
I went to Foshay middle school and had family and friends from both sets... we would catch the bus on Normandie heading south across from Hamburger Dans... The FTB’s would be out every day after school... and some times we walked 3 more blocks down and caught the bus on 39th Harlem Hood... and if you wanted to walk a couple more blocks your now catching the bus in 40’s hood..... life in the late 80’s and 90’s was crazy... How to survive in south central
I like wat u doin its different from others cuz u give us a visual, we hear bout these hoods but we dont know how they look or where they are n how close they are to eachother 👍🏼🔥💯
Every Time I Think About The 30's...I Think About Just Jefferson!!! And; Every Time I Think About 20's, City Stones, And Fruits... I Think About Just Adams!!! Boy I Was Wrong....Thanks For The Clarification Skipp!!!!
@@Beatbyawhiteboy King and Western in front of the donut shop by the Popeyes they used to be posted deep AF lol.. and at King park still they shit..i grew up in 30s hood on Normandie and Rolland Curtis a blocc past 39thk street

My brother baby ko(T.I.P) from ETG had a broad from Bps BUT she lived in OHC hood and he used to stay going over there and I use to go with him cuz she had 4 lil brothers my age and it’s crazy cuz 2 of them from 20’s now and 2 were from 30’s but one of them passed a couple years ago. It’s just crazy how you can live under the same roof and grow up with someone and split ways like that
I used to stay on Halldale off Normandie n Adams though I’m from Pasadena I was low key in there and it was poppin ova there with the 20s vs 30s by the park and that alley. Apartments was full of Belizans
Seem like you really had to keep your head on a swivel when you living in LA, with the way gangs got they territory set up, they got enemies just steps away, that had to be hectic
I was up at the Playboy Jazz Festival a few years back, and musician Gregory Porter got on stage, and told the audience he grew up off of Normandie between Jefferson and Adams in the early 80s. He said he lives in New York now.
Yeah Skipp I grew up in both hoods. I grew up on 38th and Normandie on the West side of the street was the Rolling 30's crips on the east side of Normandie was the Fruit Town Brims. We all went to Forshay together. Then we moved to 5th Ave and Mount Clair and just as you said the same close boundaries. We went to Mount Vernon Jr. High. Man it was rough, I had friends on both sides because I play Football and was known for that and still it got rough sometimes. But I always had a knew someone on both side that would stop me from getting assaulted or at least I would get a head up. I never banged but I still had to deal with it and thats the truth.
I'm from Texas. I enlisted in the coast guard. I drove to LA to stay with my dad and his wife. They lived on S Halldale. 27th wasn't far away. Nether was W Adams. I stayed with them two different times, for a month, or a few weeks. I didn't move around too much in the neighborhoods. I was later told I was in the rollin 20s bloods area. I would drive out, get on Western Avenue. I would cross under I 10 and passed Korea town. Make a left and I'd be in W LA near UCLA. Make a right and there was mcArthur Park. Keep straight the street turned into sunset bllvd in Hollywood. This was decades ago.
Skip you know there's a famous pic of rollin 20s bloods in estavan oriols LA photography do you know who the guys are in those pics ? They also did a photoshoot for FHM with leader OG Bloodhound they have some Mexican or Hispanic looking guys in there to
I grew up on Denker I went to kinder at the lil school by Marvin's Liquor. One of my peoples by marriage is from 20's lol. My pops used to take me to the Burger Palace all the time! And Fred's down the street lol!
They use call them the Pinks apartment on Montclair......I went to 6th Ave Mr Brown was the Princple. Bullock use ride his bike down the hill to Earl liquior store on 7th Ave
Hey Skipp I don't know you bro but your videos are great and fascinating....I will say this once you started publishing these videos you became a educator of both knowledge and negative feed back! People who don't know about South Central and the gang geographics are going to say negative things.....It's up to you to give The 5 "s Who What When Where and How!!!!!!! Its like being a professor and a student says the wrong thing..Saying people should'nt respond how ever the comment being stupid should make you go harder in the paint to express the knowledge and Gang History...Keep doing your thing bro.... keep up the great work...Keep pushing!
My grandmother stayed on 29 and la salle in 20's blood hoop that's how I met Santa clows and Jimbo plus baby D Plus I remember ABC food market on Jefferson and western back in the day
I grew up In From a Mexican barrio got along with the Harlem 30s am very familiar with those street Shout out to Big Forhead Rolling30s may you Rest in Peace Kiwe ...
you ain't lying about cops messing with folks that grew up in them streets. We used to be all up in them streets as pre-teens. Woodys Bicycles, Thriftys, on the northwest corner. Used to get free Christmas trees there across from the post office. Before we sold our house on magnolia & adams, that neighborhood went "OCS"(off campus housing).. used to see the older common folk being harassed by USC security and LAPD. RIP Mike..
Yeah major interesting very interesting write down near by the building as you pointed on Montclair where they filmed Menace to Society scene at the homegirl Dorette's house. I Grew up a portion of my life just up the opposite side of that hill on 7th Ave and 25th by the freeway..
Jefferson and Denker, oh yeah yeah yeah that's Jeff and Budlong Fruit Town Brims. I used to slide through and see a chick over there gambling with my life, other fools hoods hahahahaha. L.A. trap for real...
The liquor store closed down before 92 the riots closed everything else but they went first.. Golden Bird sold to Louisiana Chicken around that time too but that closed last year..

A nigga saw star wars at the University Village back in 1977...Bought groceries at either 32nd street market or thriftys on adams and Vermont...Went to Vermont elementary school...Ate at one of the original Jack in the box on Vermont just past adams...Bought candy from sun moon liquor...And bakery goods from the bakery on adams near catalina...Mom's moved us over there in 1971 ... 1535 west 23rd street...
I lived on Washington and 12th Ave when I was kid back in the 80s. It was busy to say the least. A lot of people got hurt on Bronson, 18th St, and the alley off of 10th and 18th.
The pizza man didn't deliver in the Jects so as a kid we used 2 have 2 go stand in front of that church @ the bus stop 2 get Domino's
It’s peaceful today yesterday I can bet not the same . It’s amazing the way things change over words. The effects of words play a big role things work out. Night time I bet its the jump off.
Hey Skipp, I might know u, or my sister Gigi, but I know that area o so well, moved on Walton & 29th in 1972, and lived in LA all my life, in Tristate area now, but so much has changed, as it should, but there's nowhere like it, the best thing you could ever do is change locations and get a education.
Yo Yo & Gigi???
I went to Foshay middle school and had family and friends from both sets... we would catch the bus on Normandie heading south across from Hamburger Dans... The FTB’s would be out every day after school... and some times we walked 3 more blocks down and caught the bus on 39th Harlem Hood... and if you wanted to walk a couple more blocks your now catching the bus in 40’s hood..... life in the late 80’s and 90’s was crazy... How to survive in south central
When I went back to the city, I saw whites deep in the city. Damn I saw them at Louisiana Chicken on Normandie, in Watts it was a trip..
Absolutely

My brother baby ko(T.I.P) from ETG had a broad from Bps BUT she lived in OHC hood and he used to stay going over there and I use to go with him cuz she had 4 lil brothers my age and it’s crazy cuz 2 of them from 20’s now and 2 were from 30’s but one of them passed a couple years ago. It’s just crazy how you can live under the same roof and grow up with someone and split ways like that
How does that work when they hoods got smoke
Dang man I just realized how close these hoods is.
All of south central, east la, watts and Compton is like that. Hoods all bordering other hoods.
@@rigobryant8050 I know that I just didn't put much thought into it.I'm from L.A. EAST SIDE LOW BOTTOMS TO BE EXACT
Bro. Keep making these videos..I learn a lot from the neighborhoods that make up LA.
I used to stay on Halldale off Normandie n Adams though I’m from Pasadena I was low key in there and it was poppin ova there with the 20s vs 30s by the park and that alley. Apartments was full of Belizans
@West Coast All day 20's,30's.Fruit Town Brims,Stones all have plenty of Beleizans in their gangs.
HIGH LYFE600 my b hound was from other there BadBoy ...belizan and didn’t give a damn...20s
Respect,Skipp!
Seem like you really had to keep your head on a swivel when you living in LA, with the way gangs got they territory set up, they got enemies just steps away, that had to be hectic
Crazy it's a maze within a maze lol crazy
s/o p stones L.A& Chicago rip Dennis Johnson
Michael Johnson passed in the early 1980s but Dennnis is still alive..
@@2ndCallSkipp whut blood set yu was with Skipp??
Stones run it from LA to Chicago! All is Well Stone Love 🖐
I was up at the Playboy Jazz Festival a few years back, and musician Gregory Porter got on stage, and told the audience he grew up off of Normandie between Jefferson and Adams in the early 80s. He said he lives in New York now.
❤❤❤❤GREGORY PORTER grown folks music
Yup, lol.
Yeah Skipp I grew up in both hoods. I grew up on 38th and Normandie on the West side of the street was the Rolling 30's crips on the east side of Normandie was the Fruit Town Brims. We all went to Forshay together. Then we moved to 5th Ave and Mount Clair and just as you said the same close boundaries. We went to Mount Vernon Jr. High. Man it was rough, I had friends on both sides because I play Football and was known for that and still it got rough sometimes. But I always had a knew someone on both side that would stop me from getting assaulted or at least I would get a head up. I never banged but I still had to deal with it and thats the truth.
Yessir dat was on my old block 3857 w Montclair street it used 2 b goin down nothing but Jamaicans, belizeans & bloods 1986-1994 👌🏾👌🏾
It’s crazy it’s so peaceful
granny on normandie and 35th place last time i was over there seem like the 40s done took that
you sound dumb
mayja gilbert so does your name

Skipp that brought back memories going to the village at the arcade game movie theater and the bike shop man them was the good old days
Thanks for sharing big homie
Appreciate these videos Skipp
You know we over here on Dirt Gang. Damn I wish I could have linked up with you.
I'm from Texas. I enlisted in the coast guard. I drove to LA to stay with my dad and his wife. They lived on S Halldale. 27th wasn't far away. Nether was W Adams. I stayed with them two different times, for a month, or a few weeks. I didn't move around too much in the neighborhoods. I was later told I was in the rollin 20s bloods area. I would drive out, get on Western Avenue. I would cross under I 10 and passed Korea town. Make a left and I'd be in W LA near UCLA. Make a right and there was mcArthur Park. Keep straight the street turned into sunset bllvd in Hollywood. This was decades ago.
I remember the long walks from the nine to the aves made it all the time.
Skip you know there's a famous pic of rollin 20s bloods in estavan oriols LA photography do you know who the guys are in those pics ? They also did a photoshoot for FHM with leader OG Bloodhound they have some Mexican or Hispanic looking guys in there to
I grew up on Denker I went to kinder at the lil school by Marvin's Liquor. One of my peoples by marriage is from 20's lol. My pops used to take me to the Burger Palace all the time! And Fred's down the street lol!

your street videos are informative
30s 20s BPS and FTB all be related they all be Belizeans

I spent a lot of time in the pinks
Keep posting big bro. I’m tuned in.
Hey Skipp I don't know you bro but your videos are great and fascinating....I will say this once you started publishing these videos you became a educator of both knowledge and negative feed back! People who don't know about South Central and the gang geographics are going to say negative things.....It's up to you to give The 5 "s Who What When Where and How!!!!!!! Its like being a professor and a student says the wrong thing..Saying people should'nt respond how ever the comment being stupid should make you go harder in the paint to express the knowledge and Gang History...Keep doing your thing bro.... keep up the great work...Keep pushing!
I appreciate the feedback..
@@2ndCallSkipp I've been following you since the documentary......If you a Wolf and I'm a Wolf we need to come to some type of agreement!
I used to hookup music for these guys on Jefferson and 10th Ave

you ain't lying about cops messing with folks that grew up in them streets. We used to be all up in them streets as pre-teens. Woodys Bicycles, Thriftys, on the northwest corner. Used to get free Christmas trees there across from the post office. Before we sold our house on magnolia & adams, that neighborhood went "OCS"(off campus housing).. used to see the older common folk being harassed by USC security and LAPD. RIP Mike..
FTB homie use to give out them xmas tress
