The history of this particular culture within all parts of L.A. is endless! Kev Mac you have a way of telling 💯% facts up close and personal right in our face! L.A. culture runs deeper than anyone can ever imagine! You the G.O.A.T. of this Kev Mac!
This Kev Mac documentary series of LA urban culture is just absolutely incredible , produced, documented and edited on a shoestring budget and the most professional and accurate piece bar none, simply brilliant Now are you watching how it should be done mainstream TV this is the real Colours. Love your work Kev. This channel just trend sets , your way ahead. Can't wait for the next one. Peace 🇮🇪
This was incredible!! I love how you Kev Mac make your videos being none bias and telling the history how it actually went. Not trying to discredit our Latino brothers, but I see a lot of comments on these type videos where the Chicano brothers don’t like giving credit to the African American gangs for being a major influence in Los Angeles gang culture which at times can be confusing to some of us out of towners who just wanna know the history. This was great brother, keep up the good work.
I'm from London and learn a lot from this channel I learn the history of black Culture in California you give me feeling, demographics of the times and politics also nostalgia this is a great channel for authenticity and social documentation with a twist of gangster
Watched it twice already, so much information packed in here, I wholeheartedly agree with Monster's commentary on the power of the gun and the allure of outlaw culture, America loves its violence, and Hollywood interpreted street gang culture mostly wrong, and the art appeared to imitate real life, but actually perverted it, and added fuel to the fire, KMV I now really see what you said in the early development of this channel, "So goes LA, so goes the nation"...I really get it now
@B4Y SH!T in your opinion, how should I word the shit for you then, I'm just a black man, enjoying another black man's content, nobody said police except you, this is a black history channel, and history is archiving and sharing factual " information", correct me if I'm wrong
Man you have almost single handedly traced the inception of the blueprint of today's gangs as far as the west coast blacks go,it's growth n spread, and also the damages and all basically first hand info. Great job and impeccable journalism..peace n blessings from TN Kev Mac
This was dope! I have been watching your videos for a couple of years now and am very impressed with your growth. This was a very well put together project. Keep up the great work!
Great compilation of knowledge for those unfamiliar with the chronological events that led to not only violent transactions occurring, but politics across many sociocultural and economical factions. This is nicely done and the commentary reflects your professionalism in depicting occurrences amongst LA metro.
Dopest shyt EVER on TH-cam. Sorry I’m late. Thank YOU Kev Mac...I gotta do sum shyt-and git back to this. This shyt 🔥🔥🔥. RIP all LA bangers lost in y’all’s war. This THAT SHYT💯
This looks like a big setup to cause the sets to go to war against each other, at least the Crips in particular. Very insightful video, @Kev Mac Videos. #Respect #Love
Nah, the big setup is getting generations of kids into the sets in the first place. There was/is never going to be a positive future for anyone active in any gang.
I had to come back to watch this one again, this one was really dope it has a good timeline on the whole city of LA and a great accounting of the events good show KEV!!! "Mac'Documentary" Kev Style!!!
The ‘79 video as well as the ‘83. It really takes a mfing genius and a legitimate Journalist to think of shit like that and take the time to make it happen👍🏽🍻🍻🍻
There was an article in the 70s ,. N it was about the old school impala style car was a one of the common cars for the gangland style homicides that started taking place Good shit Kev
Wow, '79 really was the year when everything jumped off and gangbanging was in full swing. And I think it was like that in a lot of other cities as well
@@creepnasty5370 ...imitated what ??? A LA was not the only city with brothers living in them circumstances & with the same results ... check Chicago history ... was LA immitating Chicago ??
This is the year when crippin tooc on the persona of “we pushed” a different line. It wuz so many wars poppin off. When anie got kilt we never recovered the luv on the rip cyde it still carries over til this day
when y'all started falling out with the hoovers one by one was it straight gunplay or scuffles here and there with hopes of maybe finding a way to squash the shit since you were all hoovers?
I remember all that I was 9 years old in the year of 79 and I could remember all that as a kid living on 60th street and going to Hyde park Elm. I remember this girl talking about how a kid name Tyron had been kill and how her mom knew his brother Big Rick. Times were different and real gangbangin was Omnipresent. Even as a kid at 9 years old you had to be tough because 9 times out of 10 when you hung outside on your bike you encounter Gangbangers not gangmembers, and you had to act a certain way around them or you would be a victim by the fist. I remember Peddie Wack,Stone, Baby Face, and Moster kody and his brother Lil Monster and how they use to move,shaping us 80s teens that came up in the crack 80s era....good looking on this video this brought back memories...
@@veepee3172 Hmmm...your bottom lips do sorta match 🤣. Alright I'll take yo word 4 it. We're roughly close in age then. I was 16 yo in the 9-duece, from Gardena/PBC hood. Those were crucial times---glad you made it out homie lol 🙋🏽♂️
Most Important years in L.A Gang History, 1972 ( Wrath of the Crips ) 1973 - 1974 ( Formation of Bloods & Pirus ) 1979 ( Crips vs Crips ) Raymond & Tookie gone 1980 ( L.A city suprass over 1k homicides ) 1983 ( Gangsta Rap & Crack cocaine ) 1992 ( Civil Unrest ) Rodney King Riots
@@damuaskari2275 Every independent Gang existed before Blood / Crip / Piru, I’m talking about the unification years and coming together against the Crips happened in 1973 - 1974 on
I understand that the 83 and 60 divided LA crippin too an extent not all the way but what was the first crip beef 90/Hoover or 83/60, Because outside parties like Compton crips and big mizz for example say that when they went to county for the 1st time the only crips warring were the 90 and Hoovers.
Hoover’s sided with 83 EastCoast sided with R60’s The rest is pretty much history if you know the deep history & influence of those 4 heavyweight gangs in L.A
@@meanmugg6212 Crip vs Crip was already happening in the early 70’s … Tookie right hand man Buddha was killed by another Crip and I guess it got swept under the rug … What Kev Mac is saying is this, 60’s vs 83’s is the war that made everything change far as Cripping !!! If you was NH you ride with the 60’s If you was GC you ride with the 83’s
In monsters book he explains it a little he said one of his little homies got beat up by a Hoover and they went to the Hoovers and they squashed it and went to the park to go hang out
@@matrixseven8528 107 Hoovers vs UGs bloccs, was before 83 vs 60s literally 107HGC being formed is why they beef cause it was former UGs that started 107HGC
When I read Monsta book I thought the 60's and ETG was super close before the war but that is not the case in some respects. From Mumpy to Big U its more like some know each other and that is it. Another thing how did the Hoovers and 60's become such bitter rivals? Was there a bit of friction before the 60's and ETG beef?
@@apprentessjgooden2263 I know that part that is why I asked was something going before the 79 crip split/alignment. Another thing that is not really stated is the Hoovers use to be hella large as a set even way back then!
Hoovers always had beef with the 60’s there is a big u interview that says this. Beef was before the 60’s were called the 60’s. The video has U wearing a seattle s hat and light blue long sleeve polo hat. Series of 4 interviews I want to say from a few yrs ago.
The part you guys are missing or not understanding is there are different generations, and different associations. While the originals all got along very very well, the next generation went to war and the third and fourth generations have only experienced war. Thus, the younger generations only see them as rivals whereas the older generations still view them as friends.
@@KevMacVideos Ok gotcha that is true I forget a 3 or 4 year age difference is a big gap! The problem is even Monster had big homies we only getting the 1978 onward view of this war. My fault Kev 🙏!
