I lived on the West for over 20 years, and now I’m on the Northside of LB. This video was well researched, but it’s wild because for all the gang violence in our city, I went to school with a lot of dudes in this video from different sets, and at one point everybody used to be cool with one another. Like bro said, I wish everybody would find a way to get to the bag together and stop the senseless violence
I’m from the West as well! My whole life! (31 years) And this is so on point! But it’s hard to get the bag as a group because greed really rules. You involve everyone, the pie cuts get smaller for you and the hood. And to be real some sets run with some other sets just to get the bag, but on the low.
True, i was hanging with some homies and we got shot at. I have hanged out with different sets and always worried about getting shot because of them. Guess guilty by association..
@@jamaljam13 do you see your profile picture??? 😭😭😭😭 you assume dude lying cuz his name Philip I know a Mf named Robert that will smoke you and beat yo ass he live this shit. chill out J Khan Don’t bring the anime characters out on me
I've lived in LB for 30 years now. My first apartment was off of Cherry and Ocean. Never had a problem but I also wasn't stupid. I knew gangs and crime was prevalent. When I got married I left that area of LB and moved to the suburbs. My husband and I looked at homes in Bixby Knolls and Wrigley but passed because our realtor told us they're surrounded by "depressed" areas (her term). Gangs, crime. With all that said we love Long Beach.
As a LB native, this is a great summary of the many different sets in LB. I was right on the edge of Cambodia town and I remember when I was driving by the 7th street shooting and hearing the news after from some homies that a party got shot up. Shit had everyone in CT tensed for a minute
I grew up in Long Beach from the 5th grade through high school. Then I was in the Army for 22 years. My mom and her boyfriend own a home in North Long Beach. I am visiting them now from PA. They live near Jordan High School not far from Compton. It's not one of the nicer areas of LB. The population density appears high? My mom works for the welfare dept and her boyfriend works Compton school district. She says they ain't any people on welfare living big around here as real estate is too expensive for that. I know that Carmelitos is Housing authority because I grew up there. It sure seems nicer now than when I lived there. There see some gang types but they seem a lot cleaner then they used to be? Jordan HS is now mostly Mexicans and Brothers v when I was there. I am now an outsider but it seems more crowded here now but more upscale than it was. I was never that familiar with the rest of Long Beach. I am more familiar with NLB, Compton, and Paramount. From what I see.....all of this is now much nicer. I don't see the people in NLB as being afraid of gang members. But I can see gang members as being afraid of these people. There are a lot of homeless in Long Beach. The cost of real estate and rents just is not going to afford gang types. This ain't Detroit, Youngstown, or Chester, PA. It's just too expensive for that kind of thing. When I lived there it was much worse than it appears now. It was so bad I stayed in the Army to keep from living there but helped my mom financially. I return home next Saturday, but will see some of the rest of the city before I go. Los Angeles is a beautiful area. That's one reason people want to live there. Merry Christmas/Feliz Navidad to all and a great 2022!
Yeah William its a lot more complicated. I am sure I am telling you something you already know its a bunch of cliques. Jamie Garcia 22 years congrats... So Jaime with me it was the 4th grade, me a bunch of families including mine moved to Carmelitos from apartment complexes on Atlantic Drive, and Nutty Bloc. We were going to form a little league baseball team, Carmelitos was known as the Bricks.. So our team name was going to be called Brick Boys, now it never happened because most of the kids quit the team to hustle We had the uniforms, had a couple of practices and then kids saw how much you could make selling crack and quit.... Name of a team, not a gang, we were not Bric Boys, we were aligned with Carver Park, and had a problem with Blvd Mafia Crips, one of the three neighborhoods he did not mention in the video. Why would someone originally from Carmelitos have a problem with a neighborhood by Compton College? LOL makes no sense... That is why you wont see pictures, or videos of older guys that lived in Carmelitos claiming Brik boys... I lived in their 10 plus years and never met anyone that claimed it as a set. Now when we moved to Carmelitos it was a clique of North Side Longo's I believe the Pee Wee's. we all use to walk to Clara Barton together, and we never had issues with them... So in Carmelitos its guys from everywhere, if you lived in Park Village before they remodeled, Avalon Gardens, Jordan Downs wouldn't you want to transfer to Carmelitos too? So the Brik Boys being a dominant gang or controlling Carmelitos since the 80's is false. If you watch the videos on UA-cam the guys claiming it do not even live in Carmelitos. Jooba Loc in his video tells you he grew up on Plymoth which is closer to 49th street. (another set he did not mention) So I do not know who writes the gang stuff online or comes up with the information for these UA-cam videos... Using common sense you can dismiss most of it....
👍👍👍👍👍 I live in Long Beach, my kids and family graduated from Poly. For me I have a big family, spanning from islanders, Mexican, black and asians. One from each gang once upon a time. But I'm so thankful we are more of FAMILY. Aint that a tripp. I liked this video post it just happen to come my way. So interesting...I'm a subscriber🤙🏼
I spent all of 2019 back and forth through cambodia town in Long Beach . The history is rich in culture. And elders there are held in the deepest respect.
Lived in Long Beach from 2014 to 2019 by Poly and all I know is I got out because of all the shootings, never lived in a place where shootings were so frequent, plus the parking sucked
Damn, I've lived in LB my entire life and had no idea it was this active... I'd hear about violent incidents every once in a while, but it honestly never felt like a full blown war zone. Guess it all just comes down to who you roll with. I always hung out with nerds Lmao
@@chnbri3388 ya, the numbers are very low. It is one of the most gang-infested cities though. Just a few years ago, it was like top 2 or 3 most gang infested large city.
I miss Long Beach I moved to Texas 2 years ago and I watch these videos for Nostalgia. I lived on Gaviiota and 2nd nice area. I don't miss the parking. I'm a white girl and drove around all those areas and felt safe. I would even walk to 7th and Cherry at night. Nothing ever happened. The gangs left me alone. They saved me a couple of times.
How do you like Texas? I was born in San Antonio. Ended up in Long Beach 2 weeks after that. Raised in Southern California. Went to visit Texas in my 30’s loved it minus the humidity.
Oh snap I love visiting there, I got family who live in gaviota always a good time love the fact that the target is just down the street and they got a fat burger too 🤤 and yeah people don’t really trip out on you if you minding your own business it’s a cool area
Long Beach been my second home since I was 9 years old I’m 35 now. I love Long Beach but it definitely has some downfalls about it. Had to move my son away because he kept getting into it with the longos 😒 I still live in their neighborhood but my son stays in the house 💯 the Black and Mexican war is too serious out here 🤦🏾♀️
Have lived in LBC for 9yrs, great place with great people. It’s sad these different groups attack each other, but they do a hell of a job keeping the public out of it…never saw a single sketchy exchange etc. Everyone outside of the gangs kind of mixes together and just vibes in LBC. I remember a scary looking dude at 7-11 all tatted up held the door for me around 2a, was such a homie. It was then I knew LBC was different. There’s culture here, people don’t hate quite as much as they do in LA proper.
I know I say this every time on every video, but thank you Kuya for everything you do for the community and shinning light on how a lot of us really live. Keep grinding and stay safe Pare. You the man cuddy frfr
@@SergioKwon Word up Kuya! Glad to help in anyway I can, I truly believe you do so much for the community and I just want to be apart of it in anyway possible even if it is just helping in any way.
He spent like 2 seconds talking about the westside Longos when he spoke of west LB they are probably the most dominant gang in that section of LB they even tag all the way to dominguez I think even ESL tagged in dominguez. I don't really think the west has Samoan or crip gangs anymore more they used to be more visible at Silverado park in the early 2000s and late 90s.
that’s just what they do to us mexicans but it’s funny because in all reality mexican gangs have been around for way longer and have always held there ground still making them the largest gang in long beach. we definitely deserve more recognition 🇲🇽
For the most part Mexican gangs don’t really put their business out like that, and there’s not much to document. I mean there are some little homies that like to post shit put they eventually grow out of it
Sergio I appreciate what you're doing I appreciate you spreading awareness but also preaching a good message . Would it be possible that you can do a video on the gangwars in Miami Florida.. I live in Brownsville which is a hood in Miami and there's A-war going on between different blood and GD sets that split off into Gkode and gdub. My section of brownsville is gdub. Can u do a video on my city?
It's crazy because LB and Baldwin Park have been my 2nd home since my teenage years. I can't say I've ever seen anything negative but looks can be deceiving. I still love it🏝
No disrespect to you . Dont take this the wrong way ,but There are somethings you got wrong . No I'm not affiliated ( just putting that out there ) . For one the orignal Insane crip gang werent called" BiG Insane "they were called just Insane Crips and were formed in the 70s the name supposedly came from of the pay bacc crips from Gardena via Barefoot Pookie ( who was from there and lived in Long Beach at some point he was cool with those who were had reputations on the streets in Long Beach ) they were known as the Insane paybaccs before just shortening it to insane crips under that, you had Young Foundation crip ( formed in the 80s from the younger members at that time ) and the Baby Insane Gang ( BIG) that was started a few decades later . As for rappers reppin that set , I also dont understand why you didnt mention Big Tray Dee ( hes an OG from Insane as well. ) .You also left out old north Long beach gang O Hood Crips as well. They are probably the oldest of the north LB crip gangs( they are also a mix as well of black and Mexicans in that gang ) . As for Suicidal town, that was actually a punk rockl gang that was racially diverse ( I'm not joking) They were were actually called Long Beach Suicidal punks ( LBSP) then they later on coalesced oi into what they are now. If you dont believe me look at the band Suicidal Tendencies" S" with the upside down T . Suis still sport that .( side note : the original Suicidal gang was from Venice and they are more linked with the South Siders than the LB off shoot was - both started off as punk rock gangs - venice was first ) The SOS afffialtion is alleged to have come from some of SOS guys doIing security for Fenders Ballroom- an old punk club in long beach ( at the time) the SOS had their backs against nazi skins that would be at those shows. You spent a lot of time on new rappers and newer LB gangs please check out Kev Mac video on here ( UA-cam) he has a video about LB crips and interviews people that gave some of the history about that. We cant just skip to all the new groups without covering the origins . Of course many people hardly mention the Acey Duceys or even the Pharoah's gang when speaking on Long Beach gangs I'm new to your channel I'm curious about your story. Peace .
Yes it is. Crip vs Crip beefs are no different than Crips vs Bloods (same for Bloods vs Bloods). LA has always been a city of gangs before the Crips and Bloods, who are only alliances of gangs that existed decades earlier.
Stop exaggerating even tho they beef their not killing each other like that, this is not Comptone it's a bit more tamed and the racial issues keep them from actually going in on each other like they do in cpte
i remember visiting LB, it was like being in skid row here in Stockton. It's reputation was there, but of course my city of Stockton reputation will always be murder capital. Many of the homies come from here and move to LBC, bay area or migrate to the Midwest or east coast, sometimes the dirty south. California home of the bloods and crips..
Bro I been to Stockton before and I'm from Long Beach lol Sotckton don't take the murder capital, the Dirty Dino 🦕 is the cap murder in cali (San Bernardino)
Yea PCH ain’t what it was in the 90s and 2000s. Anaheim is way more active. I remember walking home from adult school on willow back to the East side. And Anaheim was always active.
@@Gangstermo_310 nope my boy most of what it's in this video it's half ass information you will find online, he failed to mention the C's are not at war like that rumbles n fights it's the outcome although they are exceptions the racial funk keeps them from killing each other like that, another point it was not entirely racial since b dogs from Carson and will town and p funks from Cpte used to side with the southerners
Rest In Peace Johnny !!! Your music will never disappear! I know my boyfriend misses kicking it with you and smoking blunts. Thanks for this video, man
I live where the shooting happened that killed that rapper I’ve been living in Long Beach all my life. I’ve been stabbed over some stupid shit in Long Beach and I’m not a gangster but I learned a lot from living here. Don’t fuck with no one and don’t look for trouble and you’ll be good.
Grew up on the ES and now on the NS. Born in LA raised in LB. There’s a perception of LB that it’s some kind of war zone but it’s not. You can walk around even at 2am in several parts of LB minus Kings Park lol. But nobody will F wit you. LB people are super coo. It’s the age old adage of, Mind ya own damn bizness and you’re good! Nice video brah!
Theee safest neighborhood ever lol I used to jog Over there when I was going to cal state Long Beach daily and used to find money and stuff ALL THE TIME
@@mamisomorales4474 Depends on where you go. I’m in an area that’s really great. Everything is within walking distance from my flat. All in all, I love it here in Long Beach.
Lived at 1115 Gardenia Ave. Long Beach, CA and just moved to Orange a year ago Honestly, I miss the East side Cambodia town because well it will always be my home
Sui’s were originally a punk rock gang in the 80’s called Suicidals. It became more progressively an Asian gang as the OG’s got locked up or tweaked out. I’ve always wondered if the younger generation even knows that history.
Born and raised on the EAST SIDE in 1948 seen it all, heard it all, would like to see LONG BEACH go back to the way it was in the 60's, 70's and 80'sI. Nuff said!!!!! 😎
Bro if you want a real break down on Asian Gangs in Long Beach I might be able to help you out. Online research will get you nowhere. It’s annoying seeing all these wrong Info’s.
Damn I've been in Long Beach since the 90s insane and twenties was the main gangs but the spinoff from that was dogs mob , Loc mob , EMC , teenage pimps , just to name a few .Those from Long Beach know what I'm talking about especially from that time and error Now I see all these gangs now I'm like damn it's a bunch of different shit . And for the Asian gangs I remember ABC , TRG , for the Samoans SOS and for the Mexican gangs north side east side west side longo they just hate blacks had quite a few run ins with them in my day 👹
@Tony Morz Because it's politically correct for him to be racist and his prejudices are respected, one thing he mightve been ignorant to is that it was not that black and white since bloods were in the picture so there were cases of Samoans( them Carson boys) and Mexicans vs blacks or Mexicans and blacks( comptone) vs Samoans or Asians
@@deseanwatson5619 so it's bs just because it doesn't fit your narrative? You probably can't even explain why and i bet the first two sentences triggered your ass
@Los 7 You along with desean failed to get the point it was not entirely racial since street politics would sometimes play out in the mix and there's about 75 percent of Latin hoods that don't even beef with Samoan, black, or Asian gangs so OP comment is very misleading
@@seven-vx6nv yeah but u be acting like longos is some terrorizing gang. They don’t do shit out here. No gangs do shit in Long Beach but here and their. Long Beach ain’t got shit on LA or Compton wars. Longos wouldn’t last in LA. Ecc would take them out or the 60s even the bloods would take them out. Even some other Mexican gangs like f13 or 38st cv70s.
Yes but there aren't any places like my Brasil(Rio de Janeiro n São Paolo) when it comes to diversity n race mingling. We are number 1...hands down... I've been travelling throughout Europe, USA, Africa n South America. Brasil is clearly the most mixed/diverse country I'd say...especially (Rio, São Paolo...)
I am a native of Long Beach. Born and raised on the Westside. I live near Silverado Park. I remember so many of these shootings and the rest. . I am now a Christian and burdened for our city. So many of these guys don't realize that God has a plan for each of their lives. Jesus gave his life so we could be delivered from a life of sin. Praying for our city. Jesus is the only one who can change a heart and change a life. These guys could turn their lives around and do great things for this great city. Our church busses used to pick up kids from the Carnelitos projects, until Covid hit. I pray one day we can resume. I will never stop trying to reach others for the cause of Christ❤
Suicidal Town was originally a Sui gang (Similar to Venice Suicidals). Due to California politics & jail/prison stints, they dropped the anti-racist ideology & adopted the tried & true racist politics and no longer fought at Punk Rock shows and instead started gang banging in the streets.
Halloween shooting was right behind my previous house and I’m pretty sure there were 38 people that were injured at that party. there was blood everywhere near the house. A few months ago an 11yr old boy got shot and killed while playing outside with his friends on 10th and Cerritos/Orange. They were all non-gang member little boys playing outside when someone shot into their group. Thank God only one of the boys was hit, unfortunately he died. Not too long before that in the same area a 55yr old disabled lady was shot and killed by a stray. Then right before that a lady sliced up her man with a machete. It’s been an eventful couple years on the Eastside.
Facts.. snoop could have definitely been from insane crip. He big them up like 20 times on his demo tape, so much u would think he was insane. Many years later, he came out and said that he would have joined insane but they were too hard on they own homeboys.
I got homies from 20s and SOS and they don't even beef. It's the 80s you're talking about. SOS don't get along with the 80s. You got to be specific. You going to start a beef that doesn't exist
A homeless guy tried to open my car door and pull me out I been telling everybody the homeless more of a threat than an entire active hood. People just wanna romanticize gang culture for musical purposes idk why n I’m in Long Beach
I went to long beach for a grappling world championship.. At around 8pm i reaöized i didnt have epson salt at my rental apartment, which i needed to cut weight... So i left to go look for the nearest store... Well, i ended up in a area were i almost shit myself 😅 3 dudes followed me and told me repeatedly to get into the car... I went into a store and the dude working there was nice enough to call his brother and wife from upstairs to bring me home.. Apparently i ended up in a hood that was high in gang violence etc. My ass from europe didnt even know about these things other than he tv 😅
My dad was the owner of …pee and gee fish market i us to work there and believe me the 90 was on fire 🔥. I have so many pictures of many people coming to are place . ✌🏼 happy 2022
Interesting I remember a lot of shooting in ten street and orange avenue I lived in the corner apartments 1000 orange ave and it was active back then with the ese lots a lot of friends doing life and death you should make a story about krazy writers in ESLong Beach
Dam..bro what u said at the end..about all people uniting especially gangs because they already organized to the point they have more influence to make good change like all connect and start a company with everyone money put together to make it happen..much respect to you big bro..u have the best asian hip-hop gang channel in UA-cam..u deserve way more subscribers and I think u will gain a lot more subscribers

Finally got a email address for ya
@@SergioKwon Word up Kuya! Glad to help in anyway I can, I truly believe you do so much for the community and I just want to be apart of it in anyway possible even if it is just helping in any way.
That Green light on Asian gangs stemmed from Longbeach. Asian gangs from LB have legendary status
He spent like 2 seconds talking about the westside Longos when he spoke of west LB they are probably the most dominant gang in that section of LB they even tag all the way to dominguez I think even ESL tagged in dominguez. I don't really think the west has Samoan or crip gangs anymore more they used to be more visible at Silverado park in the early 2000s and late 90s.
that’s just what they do to us mexicans but it’s funny because in all reality mexican gangs have been around for way longer and have always held there ground still making them the largest gang in long beach. we definitely deserve more recognition 🇲🇽
For the most part Mexican gangs don’t really put their business out like that, and there’s not much to document. I mean there are some little homies that like to post shit put they eventually grow out of it
Sergio I appreciate what you're doing I appreciate you spreading awareness but also preaching a good message . Would it be possible that you can do a video on the gangwars in Miami Florida.. I live in Brownsville which is a hood in Miami and there's A-war going on between different blood and GD sets that split off into Gkode and gdub. My section of brownsville is gdub. Can u do a video on my city?
It's crazy because LB and Baldwin Park have been my 2nd home since my teenage years. I can't say I've ever seen anything negative but looks can be deceiving. I still love it🏝
BP is active asfk
No disrespect to you . Dont take this the wrong way ,but There are somethings you got wrong . No I'm not affiliated ( just putting that out there ) . For one the orignal Insane crip gang werent called" BiG Insane "they were called just Insane Crips and were formed in the 70s the name supposedly came from of the pay bacc crips from Gardena via Barefoot Pookie ( who was from there and lived in Long Beach at some point he was cool with those who were had reputations on the streets in Long Beach ) they were known as the Insane paybaccs before just shortening it to insane crips under that, you had Young Foundation crip ( formed in the 80s from the younger members at that time ) and the Baby Insane Gang ( BIG) that was started a few decades later . As for rappers reppin that set , I also dont understand why you didnt mention Big Tray Dee ( hes an OG from Insane as well. ) .You also left out old north Long beach gang O Hood Crips as well. They are probably the oldest of the north LB crip gangs( they are also a mix as well of black and Mexicans in that gang ) . As for Suicidal town, that was actually a punk rockl gang that was racially diverse ( I'm not joking) They were were actually called Long Beach Suicidal punks ( LBSP) then they later on coalesced oi into what they are now. If you dont believe me look at the band Suicidal Tendencies" S" with the upside down T . Suis still sport that .( side note : the original Suicidal gang was from Venice and they are more linked with the South Siders than the LB off shoot was - both started off as punk rock gangs - venice was first ) The SOS afffialtion is alleged to have come from some of SOS guys doIing security for Fenders Ballroom- an old punk club in long beach ( at the time) the SOS had their backs against nazi skins that would be at those shows.
You spent a lot of time on new rappers and newer LB gangs please check out Kev Mac video on here ( UA-cam) he has a video about LB crips and interviews people that gave some of the history about that. We cant just skip to all the new groups without covering the origins . Of course many people hardly mention the Acey Duceys or even the Pharoah's gang when speaking on Long Beach gangs I'm new to your channel I'm curious about your story. Peace
.
I’m watching this video at 6am on the toilet …. In Long Beach lol
Sergio my man always dropping gems
That burp at the end was hilarious 😂 because he’s like who gives af 🤣
Born and raised in Long Beach, on Linden Avenue in the 80s… it was heavy East Side Longo and Crips. I miss it
You forgot about the Notorious LONG BEACH WEST ISLANDERS 33RD STREET which handles the West Side Longos!!!
Born in the 80’s raised in the 90’s E/S LBC. If any of y’all lived & survived God bless y’all
amen, because them streets were no joke back then
As an outsider, its really crazy how much crip on crip violence there is. Does it really go that deep?
All the time I grew up on chestnut and Anaheim and also on 7th and orange and not much has changed
Yes it is. Crip vs Crip beefs are no different than Crips vs Bloods (same for Bloods vs Bloods). LA has always been a city of gangs before the Crips and Bloods, who are only alliances of gangs that existed decades earlier.
It's ways been every set for themselves.
Stop exaggerating even tho they beef their not killing each other like that, this is not Comptone it's a bit more tamed and the racial issues keep them from actually going in on each other like they do in cpte
Na
I LOVE LB! I DoorDash ALL over LB and (knock on wood) it’s always been safe, even at 12am. 😊🙏
i remember visiting LB, it was like being in skid row here in Stockton. It's reputation was there, but of course my city of Stockton reputation will always be murder capital. Many of the homies come from here and move to LBC, bay area or migrate to the Midwest or east coast, sometimes the dirty south. California home of the bloods and crips..
Bro I been to Stockton before and I'm from Long Beach lol Sotckton don't take the murder capital, the Dirty Dino 🦕 is the cap murder in cali (San Bernardino)
I’ve lived in Long Beach my whole life it’s not that bad you just have to keep your head on a swivel, pch is nothing like u said it is though
Long Beach full of weak ass cuzz
Yea PCH ain’t what it was in the 90s and 2000s. Anaheim is way more active. I remember walking home from adult school on willow back to the East side. And Anaheim was always active.
Pch been dead a.f since like 2011
Anaheim b active with crackheads
Excelling EVERY video you put up brotha. SALUTE!
The way you break down your videos and The homework to do is A1 keep grinding bro
It’s crazy to see same gang to gang violence. Makes no sense, everyone flaunting things they don’t have and claiming shit they don’t own.
In the 90's shit was wild...
Grew up in LB all my life and didn’t know PCH also stood for Pimps, Crips and hoes.
Hmmm I think you’d find all the REAL HOES In fig
get you some hoes on PCH just like san andreas lol
Lots of false informations. Probably a good idea to interview 1st generation TRG or ABZ for the real history
You not even from the beach, I was born and raised and this shit is all truth
@@Gangstermo_310 nope my boy most of what it's in this video it's half ass information you will find online, he failed to mention the C's are not at war like that rumbles n fights it's the outcome although they are exceptions the racial funk keeps them from killing each other like that, another point it was not entirely racial since b dogs from Carson and will town and p funks from Cpte used to side with the southerners
Yuuuuuuuuup
Kwon has the best background music 🔥
Rest In Peace Johnny !!!
Your music will never disappear!
I know my boyfriend misses kicking it with you and smoking blunts.
Thanks for this video, man
I live where the shooting happened that killed that rapper I’ve been living in Long Beach all my life. I’ve been stabbed over some stupid shit in Long Beach and I’m not a gangster but I learned a lot from living here. Don’t fuck with no one and don’t look for trouble and you’ll be good.
Grew up on the ES and now on the NS. Born in LA raised in LB. There’s a perception of LB that it’s some kind of war zone but it’s not. You can walk around even at 2am in several parts of LB minus Kings Park lol. But nobody will F wit you. LB people are super coo. It’s the age old adage of, Mind ya own damn bizness and you’re good! Nice video brah!
The whole oceanfront from downtown LongBeach to Bixby Shores has a Big Ass gang. The GAY gang. No issues in these ereas. Thank you gay community.
Lol L²BP, Long Beach Butt Pirates
Theee safest neighborhood ever lol I used to jog Over there when I was going to cal state Long Beach daily and used to find money and stuff ALL THE TIME
I've lived here for 4 years. Thank you very much for the information.
so how is living in lonbeach im in the process of working there and living there wat you think
@@mamisomorales4474 Depends on where you go. I’m in an area that’s really great. Everything is within walking distance from my flat. All in all, I love it here in Long Beach.
cool thx i appreciate the help
All the parts of Long Beach (like pch) you showed the wrong part should’ve been closer to Atlantic not the traffic circle
Hell yah, I was like 'wrong direction on PCH' lol
I guess he showed it so viewers who aren't familiar with this would see something recognizable 🤷♂️
Long Beach is so beautiful yet so brutal I still love it
GREAT VIDEO!! You mentioned Cherry apt I could helped but laughed!!! Good Bye LB....HELLO Las Vegas!!
Lived at 1115 Gardenia Ave. Long Beach, CA and just moved to Orange a year ago
Honestly, I miss the East side Cambodia town because well it will always be my home
Great content my guy good job keep it up.💯👏🏾
Feels great to get this video recommended just before moving there for an exchange semester :^)
Sui’s were originally a punk rock gang in the 80’s called Suicidals. It became more progressively an Asian gang as the OG’s got locked up or tweaked out. I’ve always wondered if the younger generation even knows that history.
I don’t think they know.
Oakland CA is another city with Black, Brown & Yellow dudes in the streets.
Brick Boys going hard on North Side Longos? Are you serious? Brick Boys have been out of play for almost a decade because of the fear of Lomgos
It’s because he just googled this info . Probably found an old article smh
Born and raised on the EAST SIDE in 1948 seen it all, heard it all, would like to see LONG BEACH go back to the way it was in the 60's, 70's and 80'sI. Nuff said!!!!! 😎
Bro if you want a real break down on Asian Gangs in Long Beach I might be able to help you out. Online research will get you nowhere. It’s annoying seeing all these wrong Info’s.
get at me on instagram
Yes for sure it’s all wrong info 💯💯
You should make more videos about Pacific Islander gangs
Damn I've been in Long Beach since the 90s insane and twenties was the main gangs but the spinoff from that was dogs mob , Loc mob , EMC , teenage pimps , just to name a few .Those from Long Beach know what I'm talking about especially from that time and error Now I see all these gangs now I'm like damn it's a bunch of different shit . And for the Asian gangs I remember ABC , TRG , for the Samoans SOS and for the Mexican gangs north side east side west side longo they just hate blacks had quite a few run ins with them in my day 👹
🔥🔥🔥 We need part 2.
Blacks Asians and Pacific Islanders vs the Mexicans……
@Tony Morz Because it's politically correct for him to be racist and his prejudices are respected, one thing he mightve been ignorant to is that it was not that black and white since bloods were in the picture so there were cases of Samoans( them Carson boys) and Mexicans vs blacks or Mexicans and blacks( comptone) vs Samoans or Asians
@@seven-vx6nv especially if they get it from you you typed all that bs
@@deseanwatson5619 so it's bs just because it doesn't fit your narrative? You probably can't even explain why and i bet the first two sentences triggered your ass
@Los 7 You along with desean failed to get the point it was not entirely racial since street politics would sometimes play out in the mix and there's about 75 percent of Latin hoods that don't even beef with Samoan, black, or Asian gangs so OP comment is very misleading
@@seven-vx6nv yeah but u be acting like longos is some terrorizing gang. They don’t do shit out here. No gangs do shit in Long Beach but here and their. Long Beach ain’t got shit on LA or Compton wars. Longos wouldn’t last in LA. Ecc would take them out or the 60s even the bloods would take them out. Even some other Mexican gangs like f13 or 38st cv70s.
I really like your channel bro keep doing your thing
The blue line u can see some crazy shit...fights etc
Gangs also went through gentrification a lot of wanna be internet gangsters running on a different code.
Houston is a city where all ethnic people kick it together.
Yes but there aren't any places like my Brasil(Rio de Janeiro n São Paolo) when it comes to diversity n race mingling.
We are number 1...hands down...
I've been travelling throughout Europe, USA, Africa n South America.
Brasil is clearly the most mixed/diverse country I'd say...especially (Rio, São Paolo...)
I am a native of Long Beach. Born and raised on the Westside. I live near Silverado Park. I remember so many of these shootings and the rest. .
I am now a Christian and burdened for our city. So many of these guys don't realize that God has a plan for each of their lives. Jesus gave his life so we could be delivered from a life of sin.
Praying for our city. Jesus is the only one who can change a heart and change a life. These guys could turn their lives around and do great things for this great city.
Our church busses used to pick up kids from the Carnelitos projects, until Covid hit. I pray one day we can resume.
I will never stop trying to reach others for the cause of Christ❤
Amen Praise GOD (Jesus Christ) best comment on here!!!
Suicidal Town was originally a Sui gang (Similar to Venice Suicidals). Due to California politics & jail/prison stints, they dropped the anti-racist ideology & adopted the tried & true racist politics and no longer fought at Punk Rock shows and instead started gang banging in the streets.
Halloween shooting was right behind my previous house and I’m pretty sure there were 38 people that were injured at that party. there was blood everywhere near the house.
A few months ago an 11yr old boy got shot and killed while playing outside with his friends on 10th and Cerritos/Orange. They were all non-gang member little boys playing outside when someone shot into their group. Thank God only one of the boys was hit, unfortunately he died.
Not too long before that in the same area a 55yr old disabled lady was shot and killed by a stray.
Then right before that a lady sliced up her man with a machete.
It’s been an eventful couple years on the Eastside.
Facts.. snoop could have definitely been from insane crip. He big them up like 20 times on his demo tape, so much u would think he was insane. Many years later, he came out and said that he would have joined insane but they were too hard on they own homeboys.
He skipped the westside Islanders...
Venice is where different gangs of different ethnic backgrounds coexist pretty good..
I remember this guy on 23&1 like a year ago. Forgot about him but I see he's parlayed that move into a good career
I lived on mlk in the middle of the hood it’s dangerous but not crazy like that
I got homies from 20s and SOS and they don't even beef.
It's the 80s you're talking about.
SOS don't get along with the 80s.
You got to be specific. You going to start a beef that doesn't exist
I live right next to cherry. It's scary hearing gunshots and shit all the time. Scary world.
Just subscribed, your channel is so interesting!
bro do san gabriel valley next
Not worried about the gangs more worried about the homelessness and how people ignoring it.
A homeless guy tried to open my car door and pull me out I been telling everybody the homeless more of a threat than an entire active hood. People just wanna romanticize gang culture for musical purposes idk why n I’m in Long Beach
"The metro blue line that can take you to all these lovely sections." *shows vernon station*
I did hear Snoop rep Eastside Insane in his early song before he was famous “I Can’t Forget Eastside Insane”
ive been living in LB my whole life this is true but after the end of the 90s and early 2000s it really died down
Long beach is soft as pillows
I grew up in LB both west and east side but never really knew what “section” I grew up in
Maurice was my best friend . Do that video on the Halloween massacre bro . That shit crazy
I went to long beach for a grappling world championship.. At around 8pm i reaöized i didnt have epson salt at my rental apartment, which i needed to cut weight... So i left to go look for the nearest store... Well, i ended up in a area were i almost shit myself 😅 3 dudes followed me and told me repeatedly to get into the car... I went into a store and the dude working there was nice enough to call his brother and wife from upstairs to bring me home.. Apparently i ended up in a hood that was high in gang violence etc. My ass from europe didnt even know about these things other than he tv 😅
LoL other than the TV 😂 thAt killed me! Glad nothing happened
Epson salt to cut weight? Lol glad you survived
My dad was the owner of …pee and gee fish market i us to work there and believe me the 90 was on fire 🔥.

Interesting I remember a lot of shooting in ten street and orange avenue I lived in the corner apartments 1000 orange ave and it was active back then with the ese lots a lot of friends doing life and death you should make a story about krazy writers in ESLong Beach
The gang beef is wild, but the city is beautiful! I love my city!
