One thing I don't know if can ever be fully appreciated is the notion of a life with no sets. Sets are so entrenched they define gang life is LA. Like trying to imagine a life without cell phones, and I'm 55. Its hard for me to imagine/remember that yes, there was a time when you couldn't just call somebody. Like when Kev leaves Vegas for the Land, you really wouldn't be able to reach him, to talk to him, unless and until he returned. when S Mac asked a great question, do you think Phillip started the VSC, and Melvin responded there were already Crips there in Venice, but Westside, really what he was saying (and you get this from Barefoot Pookie too) not only were there no sets, but we we'ren't even thinking in terms of sets, i.e., separation. And as Kody Scott explained, any separation was pliable if it existed in the first place. "That is what made this shit so hard." MK
He was a praying man I got to know in 78 I was in the 6 grade at the The Academy Christian center on on Manchester right off of Crenshaw. He was a youth Sunday school teacher he would always give us testimony about how the streets put them in a chair and that God was a better alternative. We would always ask him where he was from he would just smile and say he was in Gods gang.I was a member of that church from 78 to 94 and he was always there A real good man 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
I see the pattern for the real, multiple information matches up from multiple people and sources, creating enough trust for me to know I'm getting the certified real from team KMV... truth helps us all win!
Kev we just performed at a festival in California the Joshua tree music festival in Joshua tree California. We got off the flight at lax. We had 1 hotel on La cienega and We had hotel on century st. there’s a motel 6 next to the bridge we walked under. We from New Orleans tho. We was Jwalkn and in Nola people don’t kno what that is. So we walked to the corner to cross at the light but we started talking. Man I told my Potna not to wear no football hats. Nope he don’t listen. He got a red Ny Yankees hat on I’m not really thinking about it tho. Maaaaaaaaan a car pull up dude had to be at least 50. Dude lk man y’all gone respect the set y’all niggas tripping. I asked if I’m tripping is he talking to us? Man my other Potna say ah yeah I think so. So I look again dude saying y’all gone get merked then pulled off fast asf. We just walked off but say round dude looked lk he most definitely got an AARP CARD. Man that’s what 50yr old grown ass men do out there. Man we got our lives threatened by a senior citizen

You always do a good job of putting interviews together to show a connection between them all.
Just when u thought you could connect the dots to this part of black history, here we go with another integral part of this intricate history 💯💯💯
Melvin got so much to do with Crip history in my opinion

The stories that you bring out .. man just so much knowledge fr I don’t even know how to put it into words , great channel 💯👌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
OG: It was alot of people that didn't like him.
Bird: I was one of'em!
Diz iz Anutha piece to da puzzle preciate the hard work u stay puttn in Kev fareal!!
K-Mac- you at the top of the documentary game for the Kats of the era. I see you like a pioneer. - spawned a lot of copy cats.
Even though Bird is a little out there, the homies still show respect to him, and let him say his piece.
Yes, He was around from the Beginning. Out there for real.....kp

I like the his-story coming from the O.G's who actually were there. Do more OG's from West Adams
I went to Christian Academy school in the 1980's and he was always cool. I always wondered how he got paralyzed
ANOTHER CLASSIC RESPECT KEV N SMAC LEGENDARY
Good content! PEACE 7
Kev, waddup cuh!
This was good ✊🏾
I am ashamed that that old man's shoe game is much better than mine.
How far back do harbor area neighborhoods go like Dodge City & HCC?
I Remember DCC From 1974 When I First Met Some @ Pecks Park
Would like to here about Big Buster, I heard he and Poppa sonn was the leader of Sholine crips
I got a little confused on where he was shot was it by Crenshaw or the EightTrays. Also was Red Devils a common drug for bangers during that time?
It’s confusing because I let people speak their piece it’s first hand info vs second hand info.
@@KevMacVideos You have encouraged me to do that more in my particular type of work....the hard part is fighting the urge to jump in.....
@@KevMacVideos got it… I’ll go with the Newspaper article 😂
Shot by the police
Good one Kev Mac!
