They have no common sense. It just proves how small the world is in their head. If they understood how large the world was, They'd be working on to improve their life for the chance to experience the rest of the world, They wouldn't be preparing themselves for prison for "Their block"
In college i’ve been getting lessons about how to ask good questions, really all i’ve heard there i see perfectly executed by Tommy. People don’t realise it but he is fucking amazing at asking the right questions and saying the right things. He keeps their respect, can make jokes, can make the conversation get deep, he is really good at this.
He's just a naturally charismatic guy. He understands people, he's truly interested, and he cares. That's really all it takes for some people. In other words, Tommy is a people person.
@@mattymatt6970 yeah true, but his way of asking questions you aren’t born with. He definitely learned it from somewhere with some research. Which is pretty logical as he wanted to be, and now is a journalist. If that’s a word in english haha
@@mkapp8724 ya. Journalist is a word. Honestly, I feel like I could just do it. 😆 lead with questions and shit. I interview women on dates and shit. I'm COMPLETELY aware of how ignorant I probably sound tho. I actually have a few interviews planned. Maybe I'll find out it's much harder than I think. Even if I didn't, I'm sure I'll still learn more techniques if I keep doing it, from studying other people and learning what I tried but didn't work. I'm NOT saying I WILL be good. I'm just saying the quiet part out loud. Either way, I'm very intrigued with interviews. They're cool.
@@mattymatt6970 I feel you bro. Some people are born very social and have good communication skills, me too. I am very good at having conversations, tommy is too. But tommy is also really good at asking the right questions and his way of acting makes people like him. Being good at asking woman the right questions is definitely a good step haha. What kind of interviews do you have planned? You must also realise in Tommy's case, he isn't just asking good questions like an interview. He is surrounded by groups of intidimating people, who really could do anything. He's also getting filmed needs to constantly watch out for people fucking with him. Still he manages to make them like him and ask really good questions, he's a boss.
I don't know, they are pretty notorious for violence, like come at you with a machete violent. Not too many gangs in America are known for that lol UPDATE: Apparently a few people misinterpreted my original comment. I never said this certain gang was the most violent, most feared, the only gang that uses machetes, or even the most notorious. I honestly don't care one way or the other, gangbanging is a sign of cowardice in my opinion. Only scared indviduals(mostly children/teens) who can't fight or defend themselves join street gangs for protection and "status". I don't approve of any of this BS
I'm from NY. I've never heard of them. 100% of NY "gangsters" are just ignorant welfare babies that have never paid for anything in their entire lives. Their parents did the same. They all get checks every month that equal far more than a minimum wage worker. And they all get a free condo when they turn 18. A free condo that costs NY 200 to 600 thousand dollars. It is free for life. The state even gives them a new fridge and stove every year because they don't clean anything.
@@Joshmo1234 machete attacks are getting pretty common now because all of the illegals crossing the border., Especially with the new gangs coming from 3rd world countries like Haiti, Dominican republic, Venezuela, Cuba & gangs from well known Cartels..The Crimes in all those places are decreasing because they're all here now. People who lived in Venezuela before 2021, Now wanna go back home to Venezuela because they say its much safer to live there than here in the U.S..
I think its even funnier that people from the suburbs who probably listen to drill or trap music yet come on UA-cam and criticize real gangsters who really live that life
Imagine immigrating to another country for a better life and your parents sacrificing everything for you to have a better life but you end up like one of these guys?
For me my immigrant parents were always my motivation to do things the right way. That fast money lifestyle comes with slow problems and it’s sustainable
@@Dragon228833 You say that like gang members aren’t constantly getting murdered and or murdering others in NY. Being college educated and doing music doesn’t negate the consequences of joining a gang. White collar criminals do years in prison yet somehow they’re college educated most of the time. It’s all about the direction of how you want your life to go. Unfortunately when you’re at a young age and you feel like you don’t have much options, many kids fold into choosing the gang life
@@roguewrld5878 the statistics speak very loudly. there's a very slim chance this dude will not be incarcerated for a prolonged sentence or dead by the time he turns 30. sorry for reporting the truth but don't kill the messenger.

They are actually pretty chill for a gang with a most dangerous label. Not that I expected them to be brawling in the street but they weren't boasting about it like I expected them to.
we never really leave high school tbh, the class rooms just get bigger, and the groups you used to see in school just get bigger and are now outside instead. its the exact same mentality just leveled up it feels like.
Man, that video of the kid stumbling around the bodega asking for help... he even ran into an ambulance and they didn't even stop for him... when his throat was slit. That murder was beyond f****d.
I remember when that happened. The whole Dominican community was enraged and wanted every single one involved cooked. Even my mother and all my aunts and uncles were furious.
Great video, i will say for me growing up in the hood not having a dad made me very rebellious. Add the environment, and not caring about anything put me in bad situations sometimes. It also made a bond because i grew up with kids that had same struggles. No guidance and no father figure played a big role in not helping me as a youth. Thankfully i was able to rebound and do great things.
@Demosthenes84 thx for the comment. Yes I did. I think it was a gift and a curse it made me a better father. I'm also glad that you did. Life works out for some and I guess we are both fortunate. Peace and blessings.

You know a good thing is criminal street gang is coming all races in colors so don't worry about it brother black white Latino we all have gangs communitys so don't worry about it brother😂 okay and we all know we have hard-working people of all races
We know this is a thing that exist in EVERY country, but yeah, most Dominicans are sick and tired of this kind of criminals and gangs, preaching for someone like Bukele to come and wipe them all. Most people are grinding for a better life studying and working, and there's a LOT of Dominicans representing in big companies that like Google, Microsoft, NASA, etc...
American blacks feel the same way in the same context, yet people don't differentiate with them. I don't think all of any group is bad including blacks
Fun fact, my first time ever visiting New York, I was surrounded by a bunch of these dudes outside a 7-11 they kept asking me what my Rolex crown tattoo meant, they thought I was a Latin king

16:11 He says he’ll feel like a b*tch for making peace with his ops, it’ll never end he says, 15 seconds later he says his goal in life is to make it out and change everybody. With rapping drill music about k*lling your friend. If you’re actually being real with yourself stop rapping about k*lling and stop walking around with people saying “Gang gang we the toughest in the street we make no friends with ops”. You’ll never make it out with that exact personality.
The crazy part is there wasn’t shit to make it out of bro. I come from this exact fucking community. I’m Dominican and never once did I think about getting into any of this bullshit
Totally off topic, but my small town would like to invite all of you guys to check out the coolest cruise night in North Texas! Summers Last Blast in Vernon, Texas is the second weekend of August. Swap meet, multiple car shows, burnout contest, live outdoor concerts, vendors around the courthouse square, a whole lot more through out the entire town, and a 4 mile strip just for you to cruise on during the cruise time. We hope to see you guys there!
Tommy G, I emailed you earlier today about my Neighborhoods war with the homeless and how the city is doing nothing, they've set an RV on fire with a Mulatov next to my house and we struggle daily to protect our families... please respond soon
@@pgh_kenanbecause the gang was started to protect themselves from other gangs. Is the same like bloods and crips that killed innocent ppl , they ain’t the only one. 😂
@@cristian49537 ik but that one went FAMOUS, plus it was brutal murder, usually with other gangs someone would get hit wit a stray bullet but they tracked and chased em down and stabbed him to death, then had the nerve to cry in court
I watched another video about this gang and the members said they don’t respect that murder of junior. they told the interviewer they never intended to kill innocent people they only get busy with oops. I respect them not owning that for credit and putting streets credit on that murder.
I've lived in Washington heights,181st. And Broadway Bennett st, around the corner from key food grocery store 🎉. Restaurants are great there, Dominican food, so great 🎉
I wouldnt mess around with train hopping honestly, regardless of how good of an informative video it can be. And anyone who actually connects with you about trainhopping, probably isnt a genuine trainhopper. stay safe bro
What up big dog? I really enjoy watching all the crazy stuff on your channel Tommy G! Fun fact: The lowest character on the “Totem pole” is actually the most important and the level of importance is lower as you get higher! You would be surprised how many people use that term and they have no idea that it’s the exact opposite. My mom’s side of my family are Indigenous,or Native as a lot of people like to be called. There are a few different sayings that non Native people use that are kind of offensive,as well as being used ass backwards. If people are going to use sayings from other people’s cultures then they can at least use them right. It wouldn’t really be disrespectful if people actually knew what they were saying,honestly.
4hrs school there,no ambition, father multiple families, sex and vulgar music will produce this. The problem is work ethic and education and strong healthy family system. I've said for years Canos act like they discovered fire 100yrs ago and thrown into modern society
They have nothing else and don't know how good it feels to be out of that environment. It's like having depression. You forget how good it is when it's gone.

@@isopanda5158DID is basically indistinguishable from schizophrenia, and the distinction only exists because of historical reasons (because "multiple personality disorder" used to be a thing, which was discredited and more or less changed to DID). it is like you are saying "no, they have Asperger's, not autism", while being unaware that Asperger's is now considered part of ASD.
@Regdollaz456 🧢 biggest cowards in NYC is bloods and crip homegrown gangs / blocks regardless of borough or race of members tend to be more vicious real. Bloods and crip is just a trend in NYC and attracts a lot of the weak.
peer pressure works both ways.. not only the well known ''try'' acting big..but opening up about emotions also..they are so feared nobody talks about them
Because there’s no such thing as a black or white Dominican, we’re just DOMINICAN.. when are y’all African Americans gone understand this is exactly what they wanted y’all to think like.. not even in Africa they call each other a color 😂

Respect to both you and their crew.. i see this a lot more the old heads teaching the young ones the positivity and learn from my mistakes mentality. Love seein this 🙏👏🏻👏🏻.. i get not all of em feel that way but hey. 1 day at a time
I found your channel just by chance and I'm glad that I took time to see what you're about and how you operate. Normally journalism is a particular thing, but how you said in one of your videos that you've sidestepped the professional accreditation and jumped head first straight into it and found out that your sincerity propels you everywhere you go and to the people you interview. I also appreciate it when someone challenges my ways of thinking about something. I really respect that man, thank you for the interesting content. Best wishes to you and your future endeavors, J.
I would love a Tommy G secondary channel where u just talk about the past, styled like this about the gangs black hand,.. bootlegging… I like this information and you give nice edits and speak not to fast or slow so it would make a splendid secondary channel!
Tommyg I just wanted to let you know I appreciate how you create your episodes with a lot of respect small things like saying the guys apartment was nice even when the kids were saying it looked like a dungeon or how you ask people smart questions to challenge them and respect them for the knowledge they have not just asking them about street things I really appreciate the respect you show to another group of peoples cultures and you do research about the actual neighborhood you make great quality episodes
6:35 He always wanted to be a Royal, even at 8 or 9. His uncles were Royals and they kept telling him no - you're too little - don't want you out here etc - he eventually became a peewee and got sent to prison at 13 for the murder of a neutron . Only catch is he didn't kill anyone - he got tricked on and lied on and spent his teenage years all the way into his late 20s, early 30s sitting in prison just steaming and planning ...he comes out red hot and ready to be top Royal, he tried to get the band back together but guys his age had kids, been in and out of the streets for years and had lived that life. Once the cash came it was crazy - he was recruiting the kids of his friends in traditional Royal hoods but that wasn't enough and he wanted more - so he starts flipping TVLs and Imperial Gangsters ( the guy in the video with him grew up a member of the imperial gangsters) - he starts going after everybody he deems an opp ( anyone not claiming Royal) - putting bags on the heads of any opp, not just the leaders - TVLs, CVLs, SGDs, Milwaukee Kings, 4s and Cobras mainly Some say he was upset over the fact that his peers ( people like Earl) didn't click up with him and was using it as an excuse to take control on his original hoods as well as out west. In reality Earl and Cecilia had like 5 kids, some really young and yes Earl definitely still was a Royal just wasn't about that street hustle all day every day ... Tj and I are the same age but I never really knew him before the first arrest so I can't attest to what he was like beforehand. Other Royals who did know him say he was always that kid getting into trouble, fucking with everybody etc Crazy epilogue to the whole story is what went down with Earl a few years after this. Ended up shooting and killing his wife Cecilia (she was a longtime Royal as well) and either then killing himself or getting shot by his teenage son (also a Royal) depending on who you talk to ... I know the TVLs / Royals out west ( no luv money ) called themselves Oskeenotown or some shit like that in memory of a beloved Royal who was lit up on the street - there are still a few Royals out that way but most flipped back to TVL, apparently they'r mixed TVL /Royal set which is fucking crazy if y V ask me

We know this is a thing that exist in EVERY country, but yeah, most Dominicans are sick and tired of this kind of criminals and gangs, preaching for someone like Bukele to come and wipe them all.
Most people are grinding for a better life studying and working, and there's a LOT of Dominicans representing in big companies that like Google, Microsoft, NASA, etc...
American blacks feel the same way in the same context, yet people don't differentiate with them. I don't think all of any group is bad including blacks
This is a real ass video man keep doing what you doing ❤
I found 3dp by the song lime city a few months ago and everyone was clowning them talking about how they’re unknown but here they are 💀
that minute or two yall reflected on mental health hit different. respect bro
Fun fact, my first time ever visiting New York, I was surrounded by a bunch of these dudes outside a 7-11 they kept asking me what my Rolex crown tattoo meant, they thought I was a Latin king
Yaiks you could have gotten into some serious trouble
@@yaboisbunker7744 trouble he could of been a initiation plate. thank god when you get a chance
and thats real talk in jail both gangs fixing you or you joing lk
Why you even got that tatted 😂
Lol
@@Dr.wasabimaybe… cuz he likes Rolex’s? Just a thought 😂😂😂
I know one in that group from high school. He used to box idk what happen. Hope him the best in life, he used to bully me but made me tuff.
Which one
Love how these guys are gangster but still recognize mental health and its importance. Now that’s growth and a step in the right direction 💪
I don’t respect this gang after what happend to Junior in New York R.I.P Junior🙏🏽
Brodie just said they ain’t agree with what happened
@@JOHNDOE-vg9ge doesn't mean shit, we still don't respect them
@@Whereareyoujojo 💯💯
@@JOHNDOE-vg9geain’t agreeing it ain’t gonna bring him back. A young kid lost his future due to these dumb mf’s
What happened to Junior?
Bro got murked ?
16:11 He says he’ll feel like a b*tch for making peace with his ops, it’ll never end he says, 15 seconds later he says his goal in life is to make it out and change everybody. With rapping drill music about k*lling your friend.
If you’re actually being real with yourself stop rapping about k*lling and stop walking around with people saying “Gang gang we the toughest in the street we make no friends with ops”. You’ll never make it out with that exact personality.
its hypocrisy at its finest as well as a prime example of insanity.
It’s a repetitive theme in the streets. The second dudes get arrested suddenly they are activists and Muslims and all this other shit.
First way of making something of yourself , gtfo of new york
The crazy part is there wasn’t shit to make it out of bro. I come from this exact fucking community. I’m Dominican and never once did I think about getting into any of this bullshit
I mean every gang beef won’t never end I never seen other gangs coming together for peace but just the crips & bloods
Totally off topic, but my small town would like to invite all of you guys to check out the coolest cruise night in North Texas! Summers Last Blast in Vernon, Texas is the second weekend of August. Swap meet, multiple car shows, burnout contest, live outdoor concerts, vendors around the courthouse square, a whole lot more through out the entire town, and a 4 mile strip just for you to cruise on during the cruise time. We hope to see you guys there!
Tommy G, I emailed you earlier today about my Neighborhoods war with the homeless and how the city is doing nothing, they've set an RV on fire with a Mulatov next to my house and we struggle daily to protect our families... please respond soon
Rip junior🤦🏻♂️
stg, idk how they ain’t ashamed to be claiming a gang that killed a innocent kid
@@pgh_kenanbecause the gang was started to protect themselves from other gangs. Is the same like bloods and crips that killed innocent ppl , they ain’t the only one. 😂
@@pgh_kenanbc dats not how it works in nyc we care my bout our block there’s mad trinis dat beef w trinis so stfu if u don’t know wats going on
@@cristian49537 ik but that one went FAMOUS, plus it was brutal murder, usually with other gangs someone would get hit wit a stray bullet but they tracked and chased em down and stabbed him to death, then had the nerve to cry in court
I watched another video about this gang and the members said they don’t respect that murder of junior. they told the interviewer they never intended to kill innocent people they only get busy with oops. I respect them not owning that for credit and putting streets credit on that murder.
NYPD is LOVIN this video. Takin notes!!!
Please, take their tales down.
they didnt say anything fed trust me lol
Feds probably been building a case on them they don’t come after you till they got enough on you
NYPD anit doin nothin
Tommy i work security and i just wanna thank u for always passing the time on my shift😂🤝🔥
Wow just wow Tommy's on another level ! Congratulations bro ! Doing more than a good job
Dont forget those kids that killed junior were crying with snot coming out their nose when they got sentenced 😂😂
I thought it was grown men?
What does that got do with them??
You know when UA-cam confirms your age its gonna be a good one 💀💀😂😂
😂 💀
Mid at best
Definitely mid
Shit was lame asf lol😂
there is no correlation, but you know comments like this will get the likes.
I've lived in Washington heights,181st. And Broadway
Bennett st, around the corner from key food grocery store 🎉. Restaurants are great there, Dominican food, so great 🎉
@Tommy G would u ever be interested in interviewing UK Gangs? Would love a series for that
“3 personalities, so what.. one of y’all is schizophrenic” ☠️ 😂
I like how he wasn't scared to joke around with them
Homeboy with the hair coming out of the eye and mouth holes got me rollin 😂
😂😂😂
picture son trying to get the look right in the mirror loll
dying fr yooo
facts i peeped that too lol
Looks like a slipknot mask
I wouldnt mess around with train hopping honestly, regardless of how good of an informative video it can be. And anyone who actually connects with you about trainhopping, probably isnt a genuine trainhopper. stay safe bro
What up big dog? I really enjoy watching all the crazy stuff on your channel Tommy G! Fun fact: The lowest character on the “Totem pole” is actually the most important and the level of importance is lower as you get higher! You would be surprised how many people use that term and they have no idea that it’s the exact opposite. My mom’s side of my family are Indigenous,or Native as a lot of people like to be called. There are a few different sayings that non Native people use that are kind of offensive,as well as being used ass backwards. If people are going to use sayings from other people’s cultures then they can at least use them right. It wouldn’t really be disrespectful if people actually knew what they were saying,honestly.
As a Dominican, I’m embarrassed these guys exist 🤦🏻♂️
It’s like u watched the video with ur ears shut and ur eyes closed
my guy they contridicrted they selves after every sentence.@@Wizlancs
@@TalabianZicso go do somn about it If not then stfu and move on😂😂😂
You're glazing a bunch of murderers @@Wizlancs
4hrs school there,no ambition, father multiple families, sex and vulgar music will produce this. The problem is work ethic and education and strong healthy family system. I've said for years Canos act like they discovered fire 100yrs ago and thrown into modern society
“ we the most dangerous gang “ and smiles … why is he proud of that
Cuz pride leads to sin
They have nothing else and don't know how good it feels to be out of that environment. It's like having depression. You forget how good it is when it's gone.
Cuz hes dumb
Facts. This whole era of tommy is just glorification of clown shit
@@KennyPowersGamingI think it depends on the viewer.
First time ever in life I heard a Gang has a waiting period before you can be a member 😳🤦🏾♂️
I bought my baby daddy a "big dogs gotta eat" t shirt & he was sooo happy lol. He thought it was the coolest shirt. He said he wears it to the gym lol. Gonna buy him another one this coming Christmas
You mean the dude you slept with.
The feds are loving these Tommy g videos
could they actually use it as evidence to convict them?
I mean yeah if they were showing off guns and shit
@@gangstergoose8159yes
Most of these dudes are already known gang members.....as long as they not doing anything stupid on camera.... the feds are just fans
these guys are all cap none of them have bodies and are standing on shit
Forever 15❤ R.I.H Junior Guzman🕊️.
That’s Crazy😅
Rip
Keep going brother 💯💯💯🔥
I love Tommy G. Thanks the gods for blessing us with this beautiful man.
“3 different personalities”.
“You guys schizophrenic or what?”
Idk y but that had me rolling 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Same shit was too funny 😂
@@isopanda5158DID is basically indistinguishable from schizophrenia, and the distinction only exists because of historical reasons (because "multiple personality disorder" used to be a thing, which was discredited and more or less changed to DID). it is like you are saying "no, they have Asperger's, not autism", while being unaware that Asperger's is now considered part of ASD.
@@isopanda5158it's a joke stfu
Issa group like migos and each of em got a different personality type, ain’t that hard to understand 😢
Funny thing about gangs is if they’re rolling solo they’re quiet. They’re only loud and tough when they’re with their groupies
This is most groups of people not just gangs
Na not everybody lol it’s a lot dudes like that regardless if they with they people or not
This gang is the most known for that
Can tell you haven't been around real savages. I know dudes that don't hesitate to go to war by themselves
@Regdollaz456 🧢 biggest cowards in NYC is bloods and crip homegrown gangs / blocks regardless of borough or race of members tend to be more vicious real. Bloods and crip is just a trend in NYC and attracts a lot of the weak.
peer pressure works both ways..
not only the well known ''try'' acting big..but opening up about emotions
also..they are so feared nobody talks about them
Yall gonna do BIG Things , Salute..! From a FL G Que lo Que
Dude said he had to play black....is somebody going to tell him??? Lol why do black Dominicans claim to be a whole separate race?
Word lol a Whole ass Black man that Js happen to be Dominican why he stunting😂
lol they hate us more than white people
Because there’s no such thing as a black or white Dominican, we’re just DOMINICAN.. when are y’all African Americans gone understand this is exactly what they wanted y’all to think like.. not even in Africa they call each other a color 😂
Looking at black americans I can see why.
Meaning he acted like a African American
RIP to all the innocent victims of these upstanding citizens of the neighborhood
Don't forget the crips and bloods too. The pyru and all your favorite rappers.
Great video! Shout out from Philly
Always live your videos g
R.I.P Junior 🕊️
A mobster with a mansion and property are real “ Gangsters” . These are kids who still live with mama and buy from the corner deli with a ebt card.
You mean Mama only lol
This guys don t last a hour against Italian 80’s mob
@@7youtubeeee I agree they will get “wacked”
they're a street gang just like the bloods, crips, etc smart one
Nah, that would be a BOSS
I didn't know he interveiw Mojon and Kbandz and Ja Milly. Happen to love their song Called Wartime and Lime city SMOKING ON JAY RIP🚬🚬🚬🚬
I just discovered your channel yesterday and I am speeding through the eps, thumbs up for everyone so far! This is amazing stuff brother!
Those videoes are so well thought out, and made its crazy. U really put the Work in💪
Gotta say i really respect the attitude and appreciation these dudes have for mental health and education. I wasn’t expecting it honestly but it’s good to see from a group of young men you wouldn’t assume to see it from
Respect to both you and their crew.. i see this a lot more the old heads teaching the young ones the positivity and learn from my mistakes mentality. Love seein this 🙏👏🏻👏🏻.. i get not all of em feel that way but hey. 1 day at a time
I found your channel just by chance and I'm glad that I took time to see what you're about and how you operate. Normally journalism is a particular thing, but how you said in one of your videos that you've sidestepped the professional accreditation and jumped head first straight into it and found out that your sincerity propels you everywhere you go and to the people you interview. I also appreciate it when someone challenges my ways of thinking about something. I really respect that man, thank you for the interesting content. Best wishes to you and your future endeavors,
J.
I would love a Tommy G secondary channel where u just talk about the past, styled like this about the gangs black hand,.. bootlegging… I like this information and you give nice edits and speak not to fast or slow so it would make a splendid secondary channel!
This is America baby. Shit gives me chills, United we Stand divided we fall. Just a group of men tryin to survive. Respect @tommy g 🤙💯
love that tommy g cares for everyone
Tommy G cares about the $$$ like every other UA-camr.
Tommy da best out here…shedding light on a lot of social issues and I can tell he really care about people and they struggles
I love Tommys way of journalism. Its so non exploitative and actually solely to educate and understand.
3v3 in ski’s and tech fleece is crazy work 😂
Glad to be a day 1 fan since he was on baylen Levine vids and got shouted out
i always end up seeing your videos right when they drop and it’s always at perfect times
Everyone acts “dangerous” when they in a group, when they alone they not saying nada.
Exactly,they can never fight 1 v 1 they always have to call someome or run to their block
They’re not saying nada unless its to the police
It be the non affiliated deebo ass 🥷 I’m scared of.
Grown ass man took my whole scooter and just rolled off with it when I was 12-13. Never recovered
@@redram34 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Talk that talk
R.I.P JUNIOR❤
Sad to see things happen like this everyday out there!
The way they speaking etc and positives at times idk if these or many of these are involved in much but yeah
Rest in Peace Junior❤ we will never forget
Tommyg I just wanted to let you know I appreciate how you create your episodes with a lot of respect small things like saying the guys apartment was nice even when the kids were saying it looked like a dungeon or how you ask people smart questions to challenge them and respect them for the knowledge they have not just asking them about street things I really appreciate the respect you show to another group of peoples cultures and you do research about the actual neighborhood you make great quality episodes
I agree!
6:35
He always wanted to be a Royal, even at 8 or 9. His uncles were Royals and they kept telling him no - you're too little - don't want you out here etc - he eventually became a peewee and got sent to prison at 13 for the murder of a neutron . Only catch is he didn't kill anyone - he got tricked on and lied on and spent his teenage years all the way into his late 20s, early 30s sitting in prison just steaming and planning ...he comes out red hot and ready to be top Royal, he tried to get the band back together but guys his age had kids, been in and out of the streets for years and had lived that life. Once the cash came it was crazy - he was recruiting the kids of his friends in traditional Royal hoods but that wasn't enough and he wanted more - so he starts flipping TVLs and Imperial Gangsters ( the guy in the video with him grew up a member of the imperial gangsters) - he starts going after everybody he deems an opp ( anyone not claiming Royal) - putting bags on the heads of any opp, not just the leaders - TVLs, CVLs, SGDs, Milwaukee Kings, 4s and Cobras mainly
Some say he was upset over the fact that his peers ( people like Earl) didn't click up with him and was using it as an excuse to take control on his original hoods as well as out west. In reality Earl and Cecilia had like 5 kids, some really young and yes Earl definitely still was a Royal just wasn't about that street hustle all day every day ...
Tj and I are the same age but I never really knew him before the first arrest so I can't attest to what he was like beforehand. Other Royals who did know him say he was always that kid getting into trouble, fucking with everybody etc
Crazy epilogue to the whole story is what went down with Earl a few years after this. Ended up shooting and killing his wife Cecilia (she was a longtime Royal as well) and either then killing himself or getting shot by his teenage son (also a Royal) depending on who you talk to ...
I know the TVLs / Royals out west ( no luv money ) called themselves Oskeenotown or some shit like that in memory of a beloved Royal who was lit up on the street - there are still a few Royals out that way but most flipped back to TVL, apparently they'r mixed TVL /Royal set which is fucking crazy if y V ask me
I remember learning about these guys way back when gangland was still a show on spiketv, forgot these people existed.
Love your content bro, everytime you upload its a banger 🔥🔥
