This is gonna take me back to 88/89. We lived on bellhaven and 92 in the bebops apartments. We was the 3rd Hispanic family living there and I remember a hole lot of shooting and I learned about bloods and crips. At that time I was going to 96 street elementary and I used to walk home with my black friends and we used to get jammed up by the hat gangs because we lived in in the bops.I learned how to fight,I learned what gun shots sounded like, I learned about the ghetto bird, and I saw my friends older brother dying from multiple gun shots. Yeah it was active back than and I had black friends who were real cool with us. I remember 1 in particular they called him sugar bear from bebop. We moved out in 90 back to south central and lost contact, but I heard through the grape vine that he got life. I'm really looking forward to watching this interview.Good looking out kev mac
@David Harbin . Are you sugar bears brother? .he had 2 brothers. The youngest 1 was real chubby and he looked like young dough boy from the movie boys in the hood. Sugar bears mama apartment was on Hooper and I remember he used to show us the shotti 12 gauge he had under the bed.
@B.G. Knocc Out .Much respect Homie you gonna trip out on this and its funny how it's a small world. My wife took a picture with you last year at Reggae in the desert. Yeah she knew you because she worked at the cleaner's on Mlk and Alexander and you used to get your clothes pressed there.When I saw you at reggae in the desert I told her hey that's B.G. knocc out over there.

Thank you for taking the picture with my wife.
In the early to mid 1900’s we were struggling to find stability and work in the south. As another brother in the thread pointed out there’s a train that runs till this day that’s a straight shot from Louisiana to L.A. That’s why you see the Texas, Louisiana and L.A. connection. Further East many of us migrated up to Pittsburgh, Philly and NYC by train as well.

The reason you’ll get Louisiana and Mississippi is those were the train routes for those specific cities during the African American migrations from the early to mid 20th century.. North Carolina and South Carolina routes were through the eastern Seaboard
Tahlid El Shabazz you hit the nail on the head. During the 40-60s we migrated in huge numbers from the south. New Orleans(mostly) and Texas took the train to LA while the south east migrated north in search of work and stability. August Wilson really spoke on this in his plays(king hedley, seven guitars).

@@miked853 true.. While North Carolina and South Carolina peoples moved to New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. Thing is over here in the Carolinas our folk up north come back to the south to HBCUs when alot of them come of age. Many stay down here after they graduate and get jobs. A significant amount continue to go back n forth.. Edit.. This specific migration pattern has been going on since the end of the Civil War.

HE WAS ON THE SPLIT AT THE LIGHTS ON CENTRAL AVE , & HOOPER. YES SERIOUS KILLING WAS GOING ON IN 81 & 82, BUT THAT WAS HIS FIRST PASS THAT HE DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT. LATER ON 1989, THAT'S WHEN WILLIE & BIG JACK WAS LIVING & HANGING ON WADSWORTH & 88TH. THE YEAR OF AK- 47 RIFLES KILLING. WE ALL WAS COOL THAT YEAR & GETTING MONEY WITH FREEWAY RICK. 1989, I HAD A SUPER CLEAN BLACK MONTE CARLO 1979 STYLE , LIKE THE ONE DENZEL WAS PUSHING ON "TRAINING DAY".

London locked in!!!!!! I see some people with thousands of views and they don't have half the history that you have king! Keep doing what your doing. The amount of people that I've introduced to your channel over here. Real recognise real. Salute ✊🏾👊🏾
@Kev Mac .... I think you need another Blood with y’all when you interview Damus.... dudes can say we all grown up now & that’s cool..... but there’s always slight tension early on with Damus during the beginning stages of the interview. I think you oughta hook up with Skipp Townsend on future Damu interviews. Keep Baby S-Mac & Melly, but just add Skipp to help relax the Damus. Plus he’s a known & familiar Blood to all the OG’s. I ain’t nobody at the end of the day, but it’s just a suggestion.🤷🏽♂️
I do see a little tension in the beginning of some of the anti crip group interviews (mainly the ones who are actually under the blood handle.) The combination of the line of questioning plus the history of bloodshed and animosity could possibly cause a knee jerk reaction at first. They're all grown men, but everyone wants the history of their hood represented well. When those questions come, it may feel like the hot seat, especially from someone you don't have a relationship with or know too well. We know Kev is just trying to give the most accurate history though. I saw a little tension at first during the BSV interview also, but it lightened up. Big ups to these guys for stepping out and coming on KMV.
It might just be the actual individuals and being in front of a camera in front of thousands of people, and not connected to Crip or Blood at all. Because thinking back I didn't get that feeling from AC, Madd Ronald, Jackamoe, Jimmy Lavender and other Bloods.
In 91,92 93, 94 and 95. I was always in the Bops. On high risk parole had to go to the Parole office twice a week. OG Bang would patrole the hood on a bike on Central. Lil Deno would run down from Hooper with a Gage. Lil Wino was my nigga. Frank Nitty was a beast. Be Bops got some real hitters. Still don't understand why Sleep turned 89NHF.
Guy who works in CJ from beebop...he one of main maintanence men....once I was going downstairs to see the treatment nurse...this was around 03...my boy heavy duty from a varrio in Whittier/ Pico Rivera told me to take a message to @##&¢¥ when I got by the treatment room and to pick up a clavo of weed and a lighter and bring it back to the pad...he said the guy was from bee bop in watts and he knew him from the streets...I asked him why is he blessing you/us since we are Chicanos....heavy duty told me that was because he got it like that and wherever he goes he gets love from everyone
With Kev Mac pushing these interviews, and pushing unity throughout these interviews, the deaths of Kobe and Nip, this is the opportunity right now for all the brothers to put the guns down. And I'm a Chicago dude, this is my observation. Kev Mac will go down in history
I was from ECC, and Bee Bop main hang spot was on the corner. I never understood how they hung out like that but they did. I didnt see no Swans on Central, but Bee Bop was there on a regular, and they wore red. I was out there in the 90s.
That was the store for 2 blood sets. Family one way and Bebop the other way kitchen was down the street on Central and 87th and 88th but that was the blood corner my little cousin out the nickerson gardens go to that store I'm like you go to that store but we both laughed he a blood
Near the end there’s a lag in the video with sound but EXCELLENT video, EXCELLENT interview...I’ve always wondered why they called themselves “Bebop” I thought it was a dance.
Ragtime was at Fremont with the red rag hanging. Him and Chris (I'm not sure if Chis's street name is Slaugter though), were the "ONLY" two flaggin red rags at Fremont back in the late 70's, amongst all the Crips, and can't no other blood claim that 😎
Man I am on the East coast, I remember my big cousin who was from the West coast coming back to Baltimore to visit for the summer,back in the late 70s,we were like brothers I looked up to him,would do anything for him,fight,whatever, hated when he would leave back to California, well eventually he stop coming back to visit and I found out he was in a Gang,he started doing time in prison as well,I do know he was in San Quentin for a long time,I do remember seeing a photo of him and he was huge from throwing around that iron,I also found out he hated me calling him Cuzz! Back in those days never saw same Gangs warring,I respect all the real OGs on that West Coast, back then that's all you heard about was the Bloods and Crips Warring,my mother my cousins aunt wouldn't let me visit California, lol writing on the wall! Much respect to these survivors!
Kev Mac I'm from Las Vegas big sin city 702. There has been a Rollin 60 set on our west side since I was kid, do you know how they got started and what their big homies were from LA. I am almost positive after the 3 strikes a lot of OG' s moved from LA to Vegas but I would love to hear their story.
@@ladystyles1174 Thanks for that , but we don't have projects in what we call North town . All our projects are in Henderson (Gardens) or on the West side cause early Vegas kept Blacks segregated , they had a 60 set all get indigted in the early 2000's on a huge case .

A "B-Bop" is similar to what was also called a "Apple Hat," and or they could be one in the same. Although, most Apple Hats were a bit larger than B-Bops🎩
Bakers Finest yea I remember that song. I don’t here to many people mention NHF just Swan. The only tome I heard someone mention it was when streetgangs when on 89th and wadsworth to interview one of them.
Me too, for a long time until I read later on that they're cliqued up with the Pueblo Bishops and naming their alliance as the "Be-Bop Watts Bishop Bloods".
@DropSixteenTV Tv Same can be said for Chicago, Oakland, Detroit, etc. and many other cities nationwide...it ain't only L.A.; Even during the pro black era there was conflict/division amongst Black people (e.g. BPP - US Organization) . What was your intent typing that statement? What's your reason for watching KMV?
@@SamirAmeen92 my intent was commenting on ppl talking about the rise of blood on blood beef. Also I said LA... because this is a video about LA gangs... And yeah you always had conflict, but gangs lead to violence in a collective level as a trend, not one on one anecdotal incidents, so there's difference. Also these ppl have generations here, and probably have family members from previous wars. I watch KMV is to learn the history, I'm a history buff in general from LA wars to ancient history. I've been watching KMV back when he struggled to get 20K views, and I've donated many times. Anymore questions?
@@dropsixteentvtv4149 Upon seeing your comment, "Why even tune in if you're not interested in this platform/the history of why all this came to exist throughout L.A. County" came to mind...ain't know if you were trolling or if you are one of those fake woke individuals; I see where you're coming from now. I respect it.
@@dropsixteentvtv4149 what's crazy is, the conflicts in our communities have always been magnified and fed. It's hard for a black man 2 find peace anywhere in this world let alone this country. Lack of education, resources and identity real issues..
You are correct in stating that " the whole area was Eastside Crips." That's absolutely correct. Later on, that area was predominantly Avalon Gardens, 89NHC, and Kitchens, before 1978. Avalon Gardens was on back in the 60's, when I was in elementary, and I'm 58 😎

These stories are a testament to the history and the story of black migration from the south and should be included in the history books along with it. I've watched damn near all of your videos and most of the OG's either came from the south or have roots there.
Crip history seems much more defined and easy to follow, When the actual blood identity actually came in seems to make blood history in some instances less defined and easy to follow.

That triangle they spoke of ain't no joke, my head always on a swivel but I'm hyper alert when I'm in that area stopping by the Louisiana Chicken (to me the best Louisiana Chicken in the NHPs in Inglewood, but the Louisiana in the Swans off Central where I'd go when I needed chicken to complement the sides from Carolyns)
That Louisiana right there ain't that good. They'll cook the chicken in the same grease that they cooked the fish in. Plus, you can easily get your wig split right there. Manchester & Normandie has the best Louisiana Fried Chicken. Hands down 👏

They gotta hit Kev up

Be Bop Watts City Stones and the Skylines,don't say cuzz ,cause Blood this is Piru all the Time..
Bloody Mary laced that verse
Fuck someone already beat me to it as soon as I seen the video I started mouthing the verse lol
I never met a BeBop and I been in Compton n Watts my whole life. This one is monumental. Kev Mac Videos this is fasho
The Louisiana to LA migration is real. I came out in like 79 as a baby. All my family came out here in the 70's from Louisiana.
That comparison is noticable in the G's from the south be laid back but will split your head to the white meat same with most Cali G's ,which alot of times get misread by others like don't let the smooth taste fool you lol.I function with some homies from out there .But when it's time to get active they with the shit.

London locked in!!!!!! I see some people with thousands of views and they don't have half the history that you have king! Keep doing what your doing. The amount of people that I've introduced to your channel over here. Real recognise real. Salute ✊🏾👊🏾
Love that beat at the end Kev. Damn you do good work! I like your videos before I even watch em.
@Kev Mac .... I think you need another Blood with y’all when you interview Damus.... dudes can say we all grown up now & that’s cool..... but there’s always slight tension early on with Damus during the beginning stages of the interview.
I think you oughta hook up with Skipp Townsend on future Damu interviews. Keep Baby S-Mac & Melly, but just add Skipp to help relax the Damus. Plus he’s a known & familiar Blood to all the OG’s.
I ain’t nobody at the end of the day, but it’s just a suggestion.🤷🏽♂️
Solid suggestion
I feel U on that- but I'm also sure they break the ice b4 the cameras start rolling
I get the feeling it’s all grown man business from what I see ya dig.
I do see a little tension in the beginning of some of the anti crip group interviews (mainly the ones who are actually under the blood handle.) The combination of the line of questioning plus the history of bloodshed and animosity could possibly cause a knee jerk reaction at first.
They're all grown men, but everyone wants the history of their hood represented well. When those questions come, it may feel like the hot seat, especially from someone you don't have a relationship with or know too well. We know Kev is just trying to give the most accurate history though.
I saw a little tension at first during the BSV interview also, but it lightened up.
Big ups to these guys for stepping out and coming on KMV.
It might just be the actual individuals and being in front of a camera in front of thousands of people, and not connected to Crip or Blood at all. Because thinking back I didn't get that feeling from AC, Madd Ronald, Jackamoe, Jimmy Lavender and other Bloods.
KEV MAC THE OVERHILLS FINEST!!!
Awwww.....shit!!! Got that premier reminder. Got my drink and my snacks and I'm tuned in. Kev Mac videos...you know. ..This is fa shooooooo!!!!!
In 91,92 93, 94 and 95. I was always in the Bops. On high risk parole had to go to the Parole office twice a week. OG Bang would patrole the hood on a bike on Central. Lil Deno would run down from Hooper with a Gage. Lil Wino was my nigga. Frank Nitty was a beast. Be Bops got some real hitters. Still don't understand why Sleep turned 89NHF.
Guy who works in CJ from beebop...he one of main maintanence men....once I was going downstairs to see the treatment nurse...this was around 03...my boy heavy duty from a varrio in Whittier/ Pico Rivera told me to take a message to @##&¢¥ when I got by the treatment room and to pick up a clavo of weed and a lighter and bring it back to the pad...he said the guy was from bee bop in watts and he knew him from the streets...I asked him why is he blessing you/us since we are Chicanos....heavy duty told me that was because he got it like that and wherever he goes he gets love from everyone
With Kev Mac pushing these interviews, and pushing unity throughout these interviews, the deaths of Kobe and Nip, this is the opportunity right now for all the brothers to put the guns down. And I'm a Chicago dude, this is my observation. Kev Mac will go down in history
Damn Kev Mac You Branging The Smoke Already
I was from ECC, and Bee Bop main hang spot was on the corner. I never understood how they hung out like that but they did. I didnt see no Swans on Central, but Bee Bop was there on a regular, and they wore red.
I was out there in the 90s.
That liquor store, and Quik N Split, are not a good place for refreshments, if you're not familiar with the hood 😨
I WITNESS SOME REAL GANGSTERS SHOOTOUTS RIGHT THERE , QUICK N SPLIT WAS A KILLING ZONE IN 1989 , FOR REAL.
@@originalbountyhunterfrog1992 , yep yep 😼
That was the store for 2 blood sets. Family one way and Bebop the other way kitchen was down the street on Central and 87th and 88th but that was the blood corner my little cousin out the nickerson gardens go to that store I'm like you go to that store but we both laughed he a blood

Keep getting better and better 🏁🚨
Near the end there’s a lag in the video with sound but EXCELLENT video, EXCELLENT interview...I’ve always wondered why they called themselves “Bebop” I thought it was a dance.
Ragtime was at Fremont with the red rag hanging. Him and Chris (I'm not sure if Chis's street name is Slaugter though), were the "ONLY" two flaggin red rags at Fremont back in the late 70's, amongst all the Crips, and can't no other blood claim that 😎
Frog also said him and big-time were only bloods in the county walking around with red flags before the gang modules

Man I am on the East coast, I remember my big cousin who was from the West coast coming back to Baltimore to visit for the summer,back in the late 70s,we were like brothers I looked up to him,would do anything for him,fight,whatever, hated when he would leave back to California, well eventually he stop coming back to visit and I found out he was in a Gang,he started doing time in prison as well,I do know he was in San Quentin for a long time,I do remember seeing a photo of him and he was huge from throwing around that iron,I also found out he hated me calling him Cuzz! Back in those days never saw same Gangs warring,I respect all the real OGs on that West Coast, back then that's all you heard about was the Bloods and Crips Warring,my mother my cousins aunt wouldn't let me visit California, lol writing on the wall! Much respect to these survivors!
Kev, your editing is getting real sharp bro!
He ain't lying about central being a blood st. From the hunnas to the outlaws it's mostly bloods in between

Kev Mac I'm from Las Vegas big sin city 702. There has been a Rollin 60 set on our west side since I was kid, do you know how they got started and what their big homies were from LA. I am almost positive after the 3 strikes a lot of OG' s moved from LA to Vegas but I would love to hear their story.
@@ladystyles1174 Thanks for that , but we don't have projects in what we call North town . All our projects are in Henderson (Gardens) or on the West side cause early Vegas kept Blacks segregated , they had a 60 set all get indigted in the early 2000's on a huge case .

A "B-Bop" is similar to what was also called a "Apple Hat," and or they could be one in the same. Although, most Apple Hats were a bit larger than B-Bops🎩

Dudes right! My big bro was from 89 ES NHF he didn’t claim swan because he said that was new. The swans came years after ES NHF
Bakers Finest I think or he might be from Swan I don’t think 89 NHF exist anymore. I think they all merged to Swan.
@@armondocordova3121 they STILL there they got a interview on Street gangs but they were all young
@@jamesthomas6056 they are fucking Swans! Just that they are NHF Swans, but same set since the merge. They all just Swans now
You got that backwards. The Swans were around long before 89NH Family 😼
Bakers Finest yea I remember that song. I don’t here to many people mention NHF just Swan. The only tome I heard someone mention it was when streetgangs when on 89th and wadsworth to interview one of them.

Black ppl in LA have been beefing heavy with each other for decades now... and what has it gotten em?
@DropSixteenTV Tv Same can be said for Chicago, Oakland, Detroit, etc. and many other cities nationwide...it ain't only L.A.; Even during the pro black era there was conflict/division amongst Black people (e.g. BPP - US Organization) . What was your intent typing that statement? What's your reason for watching KMV?
@@SamirAmeen92 my intent was commenting on ppl talking about the rise of blood on blood beef. Also I said LA... because this is a video about LA gangs... And yeah you always had conflict, but gangs lead to violence in a collective level as a trend, not one on one anecdotal incidents, so there's difference. Also these ppl have generations here, and probably have family members from previous wars. I watch KMV is to learn the history, I'm a history buff in general from LA wars to ancient history. I've been watching KMV back when he struggled to get 20K views, and I've donated many times. Anymore questions?
@@dropsixteentvtv4149 Upon seeing your comment, "Why even tune in if you're not interested in this platform/the history of why all this came to exist throughout L.A. County" came to mind...ain't know if you were trolling or if you are one of those fake woke individuals; I see where you're coming from now. I respect it.
@@SamirAmeen92 I feel you
@@dropsixteentvtv4149 what's crazy is, the conflicts in our communities have always been magnified and fed. It's hard for a black man 2 find peace anywhere in this world let alone this country. Lack of education, resources and identity real issues..
You are correct in stating that " the whole area was Eastside Crips." That's absolutely correct. Later on, that area was predominantly Avalon Gardens, 89NHC, and Kitchens, before 1978. Avalon Gardens was on back in the 60's, when I was in elementary, and I'm 58 😎

These stories are a testament to the history and the story of black migration from the south and should be included in the history books along with it. I've watched damn near all of your videos and most of the OG's either came from the south or have roots there.
Damn! Kev you got the Bops on here. I have no words for this.😶
Crip history seems much more defined and easy to follow, When the actual blood identity actually came in seems to make blood history in some instances less defined and easy to follow.
