My grandmother use to have those old mirrors, behind him. Back in the day.. the whole wall was covered. Lol…. I could just keep listening to Claudy he has a great memory!
Yeah. It brought back memories. I was like. I goes toss was the style because I do remember many people doing that. I couldn’t wait to peel those mirrors off. Lol. He still got his, which actually is cool breaker it’s hard to go back in time without these visuals
Watching this is so funny… because as a fan and a genuine love for working out. I use to have a Instagram account and I followed Craig Monson and I use to always find it down to earth if I commented on his post he’d sometimes reply or like it. I found out about him through CT Fletcher. I’m from Kansas City Missouri 33 yrs old never got into bangin but I was athlete loved working out but did street shid growing up just never did no time and I’m grateful Alhamdulilah. Now I drive 18 wheelers coast to coast!
Same here. I can largely identify with the crips because of the weightlifting and the fist fighting. I was a petty criminal and a bully at best, did only 6 months..i'm not much of a gangster. But those stories from the 70s alwyays draw me to KMV I still lift weights and hit the heavy bag at 33 but if in need money i just go to work (on and off, to keep the strain on my back low and to change my environment from time to time)
That last 30sec hit hard. “Friends , or just people I know” . 2 weeks after my father passing away Coming from Chicago to Compton/Carson in 03 as a 14 year old starting high school lemme tell you I didn’t know what to expect and now as a 33 year old today Just off the top of the head I can name maybe 50 minimum nighas thats passed since 05 but if we talking about friends like my brothers fasho I got about 5 that moms know granny know last name first name type shit and that Shit is difficult Asf to deal with .
Fantastic interview! And the guy was very honest. What he knew, he knew. If he didn't know, he would tell you and he spoke on things he knew with factual knowledge. Excellent. Based on the pictures though, Munson was bigger than Scwarzenegger, the picture of him flexing the bicep, you can't even see Arnold's FACE.
I remember mr lavender talking about the Compton bishops damn Kev I wish u would have asked him to speak on the Compton bishops and how they started lol I know u can’t remember everything big homie great interview we all missed u dropping interviews . We appreciate the KM lives 🔥🔥🤞🏾
The bishops had eastside westside compton just like the crips but it never flourished like the crips did. The brims had downtown, westside and eastside sets but lost most of it to the crips. The early crips were powerful
@NH South Orange Avenue you have to watch the elgin interview, there were a couple I think the most popular ones would be the walnuts ... And the gay 90s (LOL). Don't laugh. It meant something else back in the day. They were at locke high, shot mac thomas' house up and made him move to compton. They were also at freemont. The mccoy boys who were beefing with raymond and craig craddock were also brims (dusty mccoy). The brims had a presence in fremont and locke early on (and john muir) and got pushed out later, into downtown area and the small pockets we know today. Brims were huge in 1970
What's crazy is as your life evolves your friends change, they're here for seasons... which at the end of the day you're the average of the 5 ppl around you.
It's interesting how the body building culture of Southern California in the late 60's through the 70's impacted LA's gang culture. Body building was huge in LA beginning in the 60's all the way through the 80's. Venice Beach may be know more for homeless people now. But back then it was known as Muscle Beach due to all the body builders that came through there to work out. The muscle and intimidating look of Craig Munson had to play a role in Raymond's desire to be down wtih him and the Avenues. Of course Munson rejected Raymond and we know the rest of the story.
raymond emulated craig monson because raymond was a buff teenager. up until 1972 he was even bigger than tookie. raymond stopped lifting weights in his late teens and fell off, while others kept the style they adapted from the avenues
I'm suprised he didn't admit to having a closer relationship with Tookie like he did with Vertis Swan ! When I was a kid my dad told me a story of the Bishops going to an event,Tookie & Crips showed up,Tookie approached Claudy & said "what's up buddy" then Claudy replied "good to see u buddy" ! I believe they were aquainted by way of juvenile incarceration cause they never lived near each other !
Permit me to say it one more once....Mr Clay is cold with it.........that dude you may make the mistake of trying, and then be secretly thinking....will somebody get him off me please? LOL
Thats Not Gonna Happen. Jimel Claims to have Founded the Crips & Bloods, Brought Tookie Around, and threw Tookie under the Bus while he sits on Death Row. Every OG needs to be ask about Jimel.
@@joemosely9383 Sound like female behavior you should of kept that to yourself..... Now I look at u as a fab for even wanting to know about a man that asked to be left alone. It's easy to do female ass shit on the internet. But how come y'all won't ask him about him?? LA got female tendacies but I was raised up to never talk about a man unless that man is present!

You can tell... that like Cutes OG.. the more comfortable he gets.. the better the stories.

We had a Compton Bishop to tell the whole story but he flaked.

Great Interview
Elvis and Tweet was not brothers. Great interview with a legendary Damu I know personally.
A solid ending to a very good interview. At times he reminds me of AC and it's hard to decipher what he's saying.
GOOD ONE KEV MAC
SALUTE TO YOU BOTH
GOD Bless
U can tell he’s an original! Before the gang banging got outta control…
Good vid kev, you forgot to ask them if he knew the pigmy’s

Good Stuff !!!
Kev Mac, do you plan on reaching out to all the hoods in LA county for interviews, or just certain ones?
We are open to all crips and bloods and southsiders in LA County and abroad
You talking about The Living Room? Off Adams & Crenshaw
That club was the Apollo theatre
There were two different sets of the Outlaws. You had Outlaws in the 60's, near Edison Jr. High. And then you have the 20 Outlaws.
@Austin Tx , he definitely spoke on the 60's Outlaws. That's part of my neighborhood, and I went to school with them dudes at Edison Jr High in 1976.
Kim is out of prison.
Actually three sets of them they had 30 Laws too. I thought you was gonna say the Roman 20s and the Original Outlaws. West and east of central.
@Austin Tx , yep it was a real set. And, in case you didn't know, Bird is originally from Atlanta, Tx.
@@KevMacVideos , good lookin 👊👊
