This is a story many outside of SD, don't know about. Sagon Penn! Brother held it down, defended himself and was Rightfully found not guilty. I just wish he would have moved out of San Diego and created a new life. Rest in Power.
Thanks for doing this brotha. This was a great video! Originally from 619, I remember going to Lincoln and wondering how this started. I was super young when I heard about Sagon Penn story from the elders in SD...
Great interview Curtis. I had one of those jackets. LTD stood for Limited. It was LTD and then it was Wrecking Crew. But it all happened around the same time or at least there wasn’t a huge gap.
Absolutely Bishop! You are from those days with West Coast and definitely know. I remember you guys wearing those bomber jackets. I know Ltd stands for "limited" but thought it meant something else with you guys. And thanks for confirming Wrecking Crew, Mafia Crips and LTD were all within a very small window. Give you a call this week to catch up!
47th & market was a...."no go zone" back in the day. Kicked with Sean the other day Archie Moore taught us how to drop a fool" "Chicken" taught us also.
Cool. They were still saying 5/9 during my era. It was way later after I aged out the life that I started hearing terms like "The South" more than I heard 5/9. But my generation was over so you know better than I. Peace.
I'm from 59 brims, we definitely know big country started the set. We just put are twist on how we say different meanings that still end the end mean, 5/9 brim. Respectfully DEE-NUTT
I grew up in Emerald Hills....Bunny Boys and Hill City spray painted their tag on my Moms house and I painted over it in the 80s so as not to draw attention .....made me mad
Bunny boys got their name because of the rabbits that ran around the park in EH. Saigons connection to emerald hills becuz Saigon hung out with people from EH He was one of my mothers students….
Pain is from John Adams apartments across from Bayview apartments across the freeway from emerald hills that's where his mama stayed and that's where we used to work out
Back in those days, you could still drive with people in the back of the truck. They were all coming back from Sunday at the beach, it was right after we graduated from High School. One of my teammates was there, he didn't like me much but he's a good guy. Everyone knows what it is coming back from the Beach on Sundays, you're out to have fun. Crazy to make it damned near home and have that happen. Every week, some BS with pop off! Then I remember my dude, Prentice Byrd and some of his boys getting caught up doing a home invasion. I'm like "Happy go lucky ass Prentice???? WTF!!!" Then more and more and more burnt out Strawberries and homeless, Greedy Coke Smokers. AWFUL TIMES!!!
My white grandparents lived & ran a farm in Compton for decades, When white flight begin they didn’t move far they moved to what was than “Lilly white Lynewood” & ultimately settled in Lakewood were my family remains today, I was raised in Paramount & Lkwd, There was a whole class of white lowriders to I never heard spoke of, Amy father was one of them
@@TheNeighborOnThe3rdFloor Compton was actually built to be a model “city of the future” sadly in many ways it’s become just that, I got the fuck out & I live in the mountains of SD now it’s like night & day!
If you grew up in SESD in the 70s & 80s...you know about the Cobra Club & the Sunday gatherings at Oceanview Park that always ended with riots with police & pursuits!
I was part of the Playboy Bunny boys we change it to rude boys when Prince came out we had the little bad saying rude boy on our clothes I remember those days
That's not true but is Funky Bob or Tone living the where lowriders. From West coast.they can tell you about Swool Tubby from Los Angeles some of early Cripp know who he is ask fennie Boy. He knows.
Gangster Ern picked up where Big Country left off according to my relatives from Ocean View but I'm pretty sure the Basement will say something different that's the two sections Ocean View and you got the basement Burgundy and Gold.... shot out to Sir Rod and Sick Beav and OOOG Mad Bob , Lil Old Man, rest in peace fat ocean and big old man
I love curt but he’s got to be more specific. He said there was only 3 gangs in San Diego in 1975 which is just wrong. There is Mexican gangs going back to the 40\50s in San Diego. I’m sure he knows that too he needs to specifically say there was only 3 BLACK gangs in 1975.
Thanks for tapping in with Street TV. Appreciate all the support.
Sagon dated my mom summer of '98
This is a story many outside of SD, don't know about.
Sagon Penn!
Brother held it down, defended himself and was Rightfully found not guilty.
I just wish he would have moved out of San Diego and created a new life.
Rest in Power.
I bet all those that loved Police Officer Thomas Riggs wish Sagon had moved before he murdered their loved one!
@@22lyric You mean before their loved one, tried to murder Penn.
Cops back then used to beat up people all the time for no reason.
Sagon fought back but it still ruined his life.
5/9 brims have been in SD since early 70s.i went to st.judes during that time
@complexblackness so explain shooting the ride along. Stop defending Sagon, he was a 5150.
Curt Dog knew a lot....he spoke the truth on a lot of issues I remember back then....Much respect Curt Dog.

All the Diego homies I know from Brims push that 59 they acknowledge and embrace the fact Big Country started they set.
