Shut your ass up. A thousand sanctimonious fucks like you thinking your better than someone else based off some life decisions. Always worried about the next man.
Respect is respect. It's not even about letting someone know you're in their city. If everyone had a greater understanding and appreciation of respect half the shit happening in our own community, this country, the world wouldn't be happening. It's not even about gangs. And it's going to get worse because not only is the respect going the way of the Dodo but so has shame. So people really need to pay attention more so because when no one has any respect or shame about them, they'll do anything for any dumbass reason.
It's a sad state our black people are in that so much violence is attached to so many communities to the point you can't even visit a place and grab some chicken in peace.
@@Malibukenn you missed the point. He knows the hoods of LA and other parts of this country are not "playgrounds" - that's the sad state of affairs. There shouldn't be any places where black people gather that aren't reasonably safe to go eat some chicken in broad daylight.
@@J2theK but people know how to be respectful and cautious in all these other hood outside of LA. But Get clapped in a hood in LA, everybody wants to shed tears. LA hoods are just as dangerous as all of these other places. Have that same level of respect when you are in LA hoods. Is all I’m saying.
@@realwithself5159 I was just about to post something similar. A lot of these so called rappers with “opps” claim to be rich and stocked but they’re not. They’re broke and have no future.
He most definitely has. I had that similar thought yesterday while watching one of the other vids. But thatz why I've been rockin wit' Eiht since way back with CMW. He's a real G and keeps it 💯.
This is one of the main reasons I stay away from the streets and bad neighborhoods. If I constantly have to watch my back and look in the rearview mirror I'm not going. I also don't need to " check in " with anyone where I go. That's street and hood shit . The only people I'm checking in with is the hotel reservation staff and dinner reservations at the front desk .
@@33GLOCK true but let's be honest .Some places you have to watch your surroundings far more than others Not even the safest environments are guaranteed to be 100 percent crime free but your chances of ending up in a bad situation are far less than an environment that is known to have issues
People don't realize how deep & intricate the gang culture is in LA - just cuz you stay clear of Compton or South Central don't mean you good. There's people in every area of LA who are related to someone in a gang, or are affiliated with someone from the hood, or who are on patrol for their set so they out there observing & reporting back....
@@karlitosway7474 not exactly, but just varying degrees as was said by my man -- there are many neighborhoods where you won't see gangbangers either because the cops do their best to keep them out of certain neighborhoods, or many OGs have learned to assimilate & stay DL...However, there's is somebody in every area of LA who is related to or connected back to someone in the hoods...that's why you can easily get set up just arriving at the airport flossing or flexing. Somebody's cousin-in-law who works the desk at the airport makes a call back to the hood. Or you in a restraunt & somebody who used to be down with a gang spots you out & drops a contact. And it's not just Crips & Bloods -- LA county as a whole got like 500 diffferent gangs & sets
Right! Main place tourist go to is hollywood boulevard & there be gang members out there on the main strip & back streets lurkin, lookin for a come up.
People have forgotten what big chains was supposed to represent. It started as a way for street guys to flex how respected they are. They were inviting trouble but they felt they were too connected or tough for anyone to actually try to rob them. So it's crazy that these rapper are shocked when they find themselves in these situations.

The man could’ve been set up and told to go there by anyone claiming to be connected to that area for for all we know. I doubt he didn’t know his surroundings. His murder could have nothing to do with the people in that community so we need to stop making assumptions and dry snitching.
I'm from the south and I tapped in to my homies from LA. I couldn't just go out there on some here I am shit. I got up with the right people and it was respectful and a cool visit.
That's because you're a NIGGA that's the things that you worry about notice how white people don't have to worry about these things. And other white people don't look at this disrespect.
I was dealing with this Sista from Houston TX for a couple of years before I went back to the States to chill with her in Houston. We met over in Kuwait and dated and things of that nature. But once i knew I was going out to Houston to see her i got at a few catts I knew from my military days and catts I just knew through others sources. Yeah I had been dealing with Pretti Babi(that's what I would call her) for about 5 years I still wasn't trusting her in her own hometown so I checked in. Nothing wrong with letting catts know before you hut any place rather you a celebrity or just a regular Brotha as myself. Safety that's all and most of us Fellas usually going to a place to chill or meet some female. Or just being adventurous then if you don't know anyone stay your azz near your hotel and make sure you in a nice hotel
Bro I'm from Houston you was just being scary I promise you there is absolutely positively no reason for anybody to check in in Houston especially a regular dude who served in the military. That was just you being extra on your part not you trying to do what's right. Believe me nobody was worried about you.
Unless u got beef directly with somebody or u a celebrity clicked in with the wrong ppl. U have absolutely nothing to worry about in Houston... U was paranoid for no reason...

Show respect to some gang banging bums who don't own nothing in their city or neighborhood.... ridiculous. White people don't need to check in.. It's so stupid.

Real talk..its like calling yo homeboy to let him know I'm up the street..when in L.A watch for: Color codes: red and blue apparel * Even though times have advanced there are still sections and those whom identify by colors and often times one set might where the opps color to throw them off which can lead into baiting a vic(victim/opps) to thinking they on same team.,even more so with now access to high end clothes gangs dress more fittingly to blend in..Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing 2. Hats(Ball Caps) If you don't know about hat recognition then be careful about what ball cap you adorn for damn near every ball cap in Cali has some significance to a gang as well as particular sports gear. 3. Establishment safety and awareness As in the earlier forementioned of the passing of PNB Rock this is big even if your from here,liquor store, food and social establishments are the ones you gotta be on point for because the threat can come from any angle because these places often thrive with a certain type of element/traffic be regulars/locals,out of bounds regulars(local but stay a few miles in other towns which often bring other elements positive or negative to these situations also which comes to these places to enjoi the different attractions they don't have and it can also spill into stuff like robbery, gang violence etc
First & foremost, people make the mistake of not realizing that the East Coast/West Coast heat still simmers, percolates, & marinates, even though it ain't front-page news in 2022 -- so it's not the wisest decision for a kid from North Philly to be flossing, flexing, and/or posted up on the West Coast -- at the very least you gotsta be aware of your surroundings & keep your circle in check. Secondly, LA is a whole different world than Sac-Town, the Bay area, or San Diego -- gang culture runs deep & is far-reaching, whether you deep in the hoods of South Central or out in Hollywood or down in the Valley or up in the canyons or rolling thru LAX....errybody is either connected up, or affiliated with, or related to somebody who's down for their crown...Listen to the OGs & take heed.
I travel alot and i definitely reach out to mfers when i get in town why thats why i have their numbers lol and as when they get to Jersey or nyc they hmu
I’m from Chicago but California is just different, I don’t even wanna go no more I’m good off Cali y’all can keep that shit, I don’t want to go to the hood I’m already from the hood.
The problem is outta towners only think about Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, Hollywood etc… when they think about Cali. When you leave those tourist areas and head into South Central you playing wit your life

Westside Gunn been in L.A plenty of times and he a Blood, one of the most Icey dripped rappers you ever done seen. I don't know if he tapped in or not, but he seems to be having no issues whenever he lands in the land. Then again, Gunn is one of smart ones too!
WSG is not a blood stop it
@@JEFFMAN90 Not from any WestCoast lines, no!
Just don’t wear all that jewelry and watch your colors. U never know who gonna trip out
Baby ward, does this apply to a white man who can wear all the jewelry and red and blue that he wants. A white man don't have to watch a damm thing because they will welcome him but blow a black mans damm brains out for the same shit the white man has on.🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤔🤔🤔ignorance BEYOND comprehension
He droppin jewels. Listen up!
8 stand up cat. We Brooklyn kats fukk wit em. Bless he n he family
Good points for everyone to follow
My family - Mexican - born in East Los in the 20, eran Pachucos- and I won’t drive to Barbee St to see the homes where they was raised
It not checking in…it’s a friend that’s gonna inform u on where to nd not to go…That’s called family
The man could’ve been set up and told to go there by anyone claiming to be connected to that area for for all we know. I doubt he didn’t know his surroundings. His murder could have nothing to do with the people in that community so we need to stop making assumptions and dry snitching.
You had MC Eiht, Spice 1 & Krayzie Bone on your platform - You gotta suggest those three to get together and make supergroup to do an album together
i remember spice and eiht done an album a while back
MC Eiht and Spice 1 did do collaboration albums together already.
Quik does the beat
No
That's part of the problem. Old niggas on some dumb shit.
I hv a sneaky suspicion that MC Eiht has been one of your most popular guests...bc people love genuineness. Js
What advice is given for George Zimmerman and Darren Wilson for continuing to live their lives while your attacking each other?
if zimmerman did that in LA he'd be dead by now ...
@@lilshsjsj1904 So by your logic George Zimmerman is welcome in LA, because he didn't kill a black child in LA.
@@lilshsjsj1904 it don't matter where George did it at I bet he can come out there and every black gang will be on " HUSH MODE. 🤔🤔
George Zimmerman not a LA issue, that’s Florida or where ever it happened at, If Zimmerman was in LA’ he would of been Got Already!!
@@LABoutaBagDoe is LA where your from or do you believe it's who you are?
I'm from the south and I tapped in to my homies from LA. I couldn't just go out there on some here I am shit. I got up with the right people and it was respectful and a cool visit.
That's because you're a NIGGA that's the things that you worry about notice how white people don't have to worry about these things. And other white people don't look at this disrespect.
I was dealing with this Sista from Houston TX for a couple of years before I went back to the States to chill with her in Houston. We met over in Kuwait and dated and things of that nature. But once i knew I was going out to Houston to see her i got at a few catts I knew from my military days and catts I just knew through others sources. Yeah I had been dealing with Pretti Babi(that's what I would call her) for about 5 years I still wasn't trusting her in her own hometown so I checked in. Nothing wrong with letting catts know before you hut any place rather you a celebrity or just a regular Brotha as myself. Safety that's all and most of us Fellas usually going to a place to chill or meet some female. Or just being adventurous then if you don't know anyone stay your azz near your hotel and make sure you in a nice hotel
Bro I'm from Houston you was just being scary I promise you there is absolutely positively no reason for anybody to check in in Houston especially a regular dude who served in the military. That was just you being extra on your part not you trying to do what's right. Believe me nobody was worried about you.
Unless u got beef directly with somebody or u a celebrity clicked in with the wrong ppl. U have absolutely nothing to worry about in Houston... U was paranoid for no reason...
@@tmoneyy1516 Careful just careful. Paranoid means you will never go there and man I'm overseas seen wayy more vicious places in many countries around the world than the USA. You put all your trust in a woman in her hometown? Come on read again what I was saying
The south is different. Gangstas there will only gat yo ass if you fuck with they money. You don't fuck with anyones money you good. Don't snitch on nobody, don't deal on no ones corner (in fact just stay away from that shit fam) don't rob no one or test no one and generally people down there is cool as hell in my experience at least.
Dats da big homie...mC.eiht..watz craccn Cuuz
Man, I'm telling you, Martin and Malcolm are turning in the graves at what black men are doing. And Corretta and Betty are absolutely crying at the way black women are acting!
Amazing how a beard makes a man look completely different.
I saw MC Eiht like a thousand times, and I couldn't tell right away it was him.
Dude looking like Smack
So checkin in is like tellin ya homeboy that live in another state you coming through so yall can kick it lol
Show respect every where you go. Being respectful goes along way. If not, except the consequences of your actions. West Side!!
They should Nuke that area.
Show respect to some gang banging bums who don't own nothing in their city or neighborhood.... ridiculous.
White people don't need to check in..
It's so stupid.
That's not going to happen.
The thing that’s often not spoke on when we discuss crime & communities who are known for poverty. Is Capitalism. Our Country is in late stage Capitalism. And our Citizens are a Reflection of our 1% ruling class structure
After all these stories of robberies, and scandalous killings, who would even wanna go to LA??? I'm good.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Proverbs 28:16
The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.
Why dont classical pianists, opera singers and rock musicians need to check in when they tour? I've never heard of Metalica or Jewel or Briney Spears needing to check in anywhere besides a hotel 🤣
Exactly.. imagine Michael jackson checking in.. he he.. yo but is mine.. no mike chill they don't none 🤣🤣
Because we glorify and honor violence. Grown men in their 50’s still brag about snatching chains.
@@sadiqqdaoud4210 yea. Children in older bodies trying to seem relevant. That shit gay to me. Go teach somebody something thats what they should do but they still glorify gang culture wearing the same colors they wore gang banging
Exactly. This is why I don't deal with the hood and street crowd . I will let my relatives know I'm in town out of respect and even then not all need to know , just immediate family . Otherwise I don't need another grown man to demand me to check in .
@@greasemantexas9159 Damn right fam in silence. The more people know is when gossip spreads
First thing I thought was PNB didn't check-in.
I respect ova Black & Brown Brovas for shining. You should step ur game up so u can be there too. Have to stop genocide.
Rappers need to have security! Make sure your security game is strong when you're traveling to ANY city! You got wolves in every city! Just be aware and take precautions!
I would love to hear a Emcee Eiht and Raekwon conversation between them
Ioooonnn care what O. G EIHT SAY, IM FROM MINNESOTA, GROW UP IN FLORIDA AND IM GOING TO ROSCOES WHEN I GET TO 👑L. A👑 the same one PnB died at cause I love👑👑👑 LOS ANGELES 👑👑👑
and King spoken!♡♡♧♤
I’m seriously curious and maybe someone can help me. I’m Black American and was born and raised in LA. What is the insatiable appetite and desire for tons of large gold and diamond jewelry? I consider myself stylish and don’t feel the urge. What is the allure of large jewels? Can someone please provide insight?
I can, simply because they worked hard for it, and shouldn't have to die for it, because niggas out there don't want to work for it. 💯💯💯💯 thank me later 🤘
It feels good, buy a nice chain and you will know the feeling
It's always comes down to trying to impress women.
@@KyleReeseCel2029 no its about swag
It’s woman-ish to me, I don’t get it either
Real talk..its like calling yo homeboy to let him know I'm up the street..when in L.A watch for:
Color codes: red and blue apparel *
Even though times have advanced there are still sections and those whom identify by colors and often times one set might where the opps color to throw them off which can lead into baiting a vic(victim/opps) to thinking they on same team.,even more so with now access to high end clothes gangs dress more fittingly to blend in..Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing
2. Hats(Ball Caps)
If you don't know about hat recognition then be careful about what ball cap you adorn for damn near every ball cap in Cali has some significance to a gang as well as particular sports gear.
3. Establishment safety and awareness
As in the earlier forementioned of the passing of PNB Rock this is big even if your from here,liquor store, food and social establishments are the ones you gotta be on point for because the threat can come from any angle because these places often thrive with a certain type of element/traffic be regulars/locals,out of bounds regulars(local but stay a few miles in other towns which often bring other elements positive or negative to these situations also which comes to these places to enjoi the different attractions they don't have and it can also spill into stuff like robbery, gang violence etc
It ain't just Los Angeles any city you can have problems
Your a target anywhere you go it’s just that serious especially when money is involved!!!
"Gheeeeeeeaaaaa" *Eiht voice*
That’s any city.. It’s jus rappers frequent La more often….
a wax did his thing on that movie. classic fasho
First & foremost, people make the mistake of not realizing that the East Coast/West Coast heat still simmers, percolates, & marinates, even though it ain't front-page news in 2022 -- so it's not the wisest decision for a kid from North Philly to be flossing, flexing, and/or posted up on the West Coast -- at the very least you gotsta be aware of your surroundings & keep your circle in check. Secondly, LA is a whole different world than Sac-Town, the Bay area, or San Diego -- gang culture runs deep & is far-reaching, whether you deep in the hoods of South Central or out in Hollywood or down in the Valley or up in the canyons or rolling thru LAX....errybody is either connected up, or affiliated with, or related to somebody who's down for their crown...Listen to the OGs & take heed.
Good vid
MC eiht official hood politician that kiccs real street politics to a tee🤫
I travel alot and i definitely reach out to mfers when i get in town why thats why i have their numbers lol and as when they get to Jersey or nyc they hmu
I looked at the the thumbnail and saw John Salley with a beard then Gilbert Arenas with a beard, clicked on it that's MC Eiht.
IMAGINE YOUR SITTING HERE TO HERE CONTENT AND YOU HAVE TO STOP AND CLICK EVERY 3 MINS
I’m from Chicago but California is just different, I don’t even wanna go no more I’m good off Cali y’all can keep that shit, I don’t want to go to the hood I’m already from the hood.
Sounds exhausting

LISTEN!
The problem is outta towners only think about Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, Hollywood etc… when they think about Cali. When you leave those tourist areas and head into South Central you playing wit your life
