    Man I pray that some major company picks u up to provide a documentary. 🙏🏾💯 it’s not just the gang talk and lifestyle, it’s the unity, the understanding of the relationships that you are detailing and showing that make this more important than any other channel on TH-cam for young black Americans. Understanding is everything!

    LA was a real live Purge movie in the 80's. Riding the RTD (Rough Tough and Dangerous) down Manchester to Crenshaw I had a front row seat to the wars during the 80's. I will never forget it a day in my life.

      RTD! Yes, I remember. I was young during this time in LA, looking back at those times, it was a miracle that I survived. Drugs, gangbanging and serial killers praying on women who were cracked out.

    One of our favorite journalist is back at it again. Much respect.
    Also just for my greed. I hope another Tyrone Tate interview is done, hopefully with Hawkeye or Head Honcho. Would like to see them connect the pieces of LA County history together. I know these interviews aren't put together as easy as it may look, I preciate every interview that was done though

    Tight and accurate like a mother. I graduated high school in the spring of 83 and by the time I came home from college break that fall, my homies that weren't even smoking weed and drinking beer when I left were stealing from their mama's cribs, and had no longer had fades but unkempt fro's, i.e., shelled. And I'm 3000 miles away on the opposite coast.

    Kev Mac this is a great video about the history of Los Angeles in 1983. You hit a lot of very important points that only us from that area know about. Now people that are from other places get to see. With mad proof picture's and paperwork how it was like in the City Of Angels.
