I lived in Avalon gardens in the 70s Camelot way I remember so many cats back then shug shay the porters we all had fun ball playing all day now it’s different a lot of new face’s
Jimmy Lavender you may have been a cold gangster during your time but you are also a gentleman, scholar and maybe most importantly a true friend. Your compassion towards your old friend Jimel can teach us a lot!
It’s cool how you getting all these triple OGS on film bro, on the real. I hate to say it but all these godfathers are most likely to be gone sooner rather than later, and I’m glad you are getting them out to the world to share before their time is up. Keep getting as many as you can Kev. Great work, appreciate it and am sure the OGS themselves appreciate you putting their story out for the world to see. I think it’s awesome that many, many future generations can always come back and look at these videos, that are more then just videos now, to be looked at as some real history. All because of what you do Kev this lifestyle will never be forgotten... ✊👊👍👌
The thing I learnt the most out of this interview is how us black folks can have a lack of compation towards mentally ill people in our comunitys,what's happened to jimmel Barnes is truly sad n can happened to any of those OGs who we're once his friends n naw have turned their backs on him,like Jimmy lavender said,you would hope if it ever happened to you that your comrades would be there for u,especially those who knew u when u had all your faculties intact,Mr Jimmy lavender you are a true comrade and a compassionate brother,I hope some of the other OGs see this and hopefully change their stances on jimmel,like I said it could happen to anyone.kev Mac this is another classic one under your belt,really felt this one on a human level for real,it really made me look at jimmel Barnes differently,good work
Another fire personal intro Kev!! Adds more soul and hypes it up before the video starts. Sick edits! 👌👍. Keep em coming and thanks for this epic history you keep branging us ✊💯
Great Interview Big Kev. Much respect by allowing Mr. Lavender to speak on his friend Jimel and give a different perspective on the O.G's life. Great to see Mr.Lavender stand tall with Jimel even if Jimel is battling some mental health issues.
Out of all of the Jamel stories, I believe this one the most. Sounds like Jimel was bullied, and said eff it, and got turned out, like many youths today. I wish jimel could have a normal day, and give a real interview.
In L.A best believe ah Seven year old boy ain't no child or child like!!!! Raymond was ah serious child and so was Crip Tookie .... You grow up real fast in L.A .... Who would think that I would meet the one who started the Crips my first day of PRESCHOOL getting out of my grandmother's car??? And actually held ah conversation with him!!!! Some of us are born with old souls and we mature faster than others!!!!
Trae Evans Exactly!!!!! Some kid's learn from ah big brother or uncle and become much more advanced than yo average kid that can't really even tie they shoe's right! Real shit CRIP!!!
The third time I met Raymond Washington on Wadsworth and 98th he was walking wit Jimel in 1979! That morning Raymond was calling me and my friends the baby homies from the Neighborhood and Jimel was yelling, come on Raymond leave them kid's alone!!! And Raymond told us , Y'all think I'm scared of him HUH? Cuz he bigger than me HUH? Then Raymond told us , size don't mean nothing!Then Raymond said , I'm they leader as Jimel and others stopped to wait for Raymond.. Raymond said they bet not drink my beer cuz y'all bought me that beer cuz my friend Adrian used to give Raymond money through the school gate! So Raymond caught up wit them and walked in the middle of the street and called Jimel out as Jimel screamed, Raymond you just tryin to show out in front of them kid's !!!! Raymond took the 40 ounce beer from one of his homies and before he tossed it to his mouth HE RAYMOND LOOKED BACC AT US KID'S AND SMILED!!!! And they marched together down the sidewalk I guess to Raymond's house! The next day Jimel came to the school in the morning and stopped and told us not to talk to Raymond cuz Raymond love people and he be drinking!!! Jimel said u seen it got serious wit me in Raymond the other day ... Jimel said y'all liked that huh and smiled! He asked me was I Raymond's people! You know why I asked you that? Cuz you favor Raymond! Then Jimel walked off and said alright Lil homes!!!! TRUE STORY WORD FOR WORD AS THE TRUE ONE GOD is my witness! 1979 on Wadsworth! 😎
Thank you Jimmy for your honesty! Some people think its easier to jump on bandwagons and hate smashin on jimel seems like it the thing to do today. What you just did in front of that camera you dont see no more. Thats real solid leader type shit. Also Kev Mac the reason you got the respect you do for being so solid. You two had words and now you put this together! You a master of your craft no b.s! This wasnt the most interesting video but def shows who you are, and what and why you do what you do! Cream always rise to the top Kev Mac! You already know man!!
Thanks folks... I believe when Huncho spoke that would give ooogs Crips the chance to come out.. . But hey. . Jimmy Lavender isn't looking for money nor fame But that history isn't lost
"I would of been a hard door knob for her". "She had to be one of the cutest girls to ever walk South Central ". Sounds like Jimel had some bad ones. Part 2 on Jimel please. Respect.
this guy done pissed me off on a couple of occasions, but when he spoke on friendship, and sticking by ya friend at the end, of the interview, made me smile!, now thats real og talk! respect on the black hand side!!!
And thanks for clearing Jimel's slate and giving him his honor..ppl act like they don't know what PTSD is.. you can't take nun from him... and we all have been affected in one way shape form or another if you was raised up in that hell. how to survive in SoCentral!! WeAreTaughtToSurvive! and that's WATTS UP!!
He probably doesn't have PTSD, but schizophrenia or something. There are people who have seen way more violence then jimel and have no PTSD, or if they have it, it doesn't make them talk crazy. Jimel has schizophrenia and drug induced psychosis
Thanks for that interview. It's always great to hear about the loyalty, respect, and dedication of two friends rather Brothers from another mother. True example of how to represent for a homie...🍔🍔🍔
Nice interview Kev Mac... Jimmy Lavender is a real stand up guy. I love his interviews well spoken and straight to the point. True friends will always be. Good shit Kev Mac. Much Love homie. Big B Ratt
@GRE if you use that logic a lot of the older bangers didnt put in work cus this was before the crack era and gunplay. My pops banged in this era and he been told me about seeing Tookie and Jamel always together and this is way before youtube.
Funk Buddah12 in the words of Head Huncho the original Eastside And Compton Crip Leader. Jamel love Crip’in and if it wasn’t for him there would be no Avalon Crips.
I can't even begin to say that this was a fantastic video. I get geeked off the information Jimmy Lavender puts down for all of us. So from me to both you Big Kev Mac & Jimmy Lavender. #Salute!!! Peace!
Jimel Barnes was a Crip Gang leader, in the 1970’s, and his gang is still active today. Now.... I can only imagine, but I’m sure that title or position didn’t come easy. Who a man is at 60 is not who a man was at 20. Give credit where it’s due. Definitely interested in seeing a Jimel Barnes interview on here. Or any of the original Avalon Gardens (or young Walnuts for that matter). Anyone who can speak on behalf of his history and leadership and not his present state would be ideal. I appreciate Mr. Lavender for being real and positive. A lot of people are afraid to do what he just did here. I respect that. ✊🏽
Also, remember that those guys from the Avenues were a bit older than Jimel. Those are the same guys that turned Raymond away because he was to young, and if I'm not mistaken, Jimel may be one year younger than Raymond😎
My point is that everyone caught it from the Avenues back then, even Raymond when he got slapped. Now, what's your point in asking me what my point is?
Mr. Lavender, a true gentleman... We ain't gon C too many moe of these types of bruthas. Pretty much tha last generation of true ol school folks... I wish we could sustain our ol school perspective so tha newer generations could inherit tha same principles... Oh well, we done gone to shits. 😔 Anyway, RESPECT AN LOVE TO OUR PEOPLE (even tho we so broken) 👊🏾 💪🏾 ✊🏾
Yep, these are true facts. After the Avenues reign, there was always the battles between the Wall-Nuts, the Park Boys, and the Avalon Gardens. At the time,, I was in the 4th, 5th, and 6th grades, and that was always the topic of discussion in school. The news would always travel over the "Hood Newswire" of where the fights were going to be😎😎😎
The music makes me feel as if Jimmy is looking for someone, *movie Voice* one last mission. One last time! Jimmy Lavender stars in "The last Bishop" in theaters September 2nd!
On da quick quick quick Samson system been in effect for him since jr high n im not gonna lie I seen videos on his page with him puttin up big numbers doin different workouts old head still got a little heavyweight left in his system
Vinvin Mccalpine with so many great interviews it's a pleasure to be brought up with these brothers...Vinvin Mccalpine I thought I was your best friend....
Eric Taylor, if this Bean from the apartments, tell him that we're gonna grab Spook, and you can roll also, and we're gonna sit down over some Roscoe's, and catch up, and laugh about this ish. In the near future. Real talk👊👊👊
jacques aldredge that’s the one thing I hate the most about comments from some of the people that don’t know me and not aware of my earlier work. When they say I’m a hater or biased you can tell off the top they don’t know shit about Kev Mac!
Jimmy Lavender Men need to check thier feelings at the door,The reality is Cripping & Blooding was Spawn by ignorant youth not mature educated adults so many can't accept that they're are apart of something that was destined to lead to death,jealousy,betrayal,drug addiction,incarceration and confusion
Terrell Sanders Jimmy Lavender's story sounds much more official than Cutes's and other OG's that decided to bandwagon and twist the story on Jimel. I feel like it comes down to jealousy, envy, saltiness and embarassment. Alleged mental issue's don't change the history. Gangbanging is crazy anyway right?
Donald, That Part! Big homie,what it is ,is a lot of cats are getting misinformed by people that want to rewrite history and place themselves right there with the info they have heard about over the years and a lot of that was produced by jail house stories that was passed along and has changed from the real story. Watch out! The cameras on!!!😂✌🏾🎧Dj Vegas
THE CATSKILLIAN ...A special thanks to you... When i decided to interview I told kev it would be based on truth...I thought this is what people wanted to hear... For the most part it is.... But many chose to live in untruths...... I'm very serious about history....and truth....I appreciate your coming out.... your the first.....
Me lavender is always a class act ... keep in mind he could go the path of least resistance and renounce jimel.but he is still riding for his friend god bless you mr lavender. Lesson not falling on deaf ears
Mr. Lavendar is Dope and a True Friend. I sometimes wondered if Jimel was a popular name in the 70’s because my name is Jamel and I’m a late 70’s baby. Lol Great Interview Kev ✊🏾✊🏾
Much love and respect for OG Jimmy lavender I used to live next door to Jimmy and his family and his brother Bobby and his sister Brenda at 8910 Beach Street Jimmy was a nice guy into you made him mad but God is good did you can tell all these youngsters how it was
Now, you heard it right there, that Jimel was the leader of the Avalon Garden Crips, and the other guys were "his" followers, and the "tag-a-longs."😎😎😎
Pharaoh 1 Jimel wasn't known as ah Avalon on the East Side for real .... He was known as ah East Side Crip with Raymond!!! Those street names wasn't really ringing! CRIP was thang not ah set!!!!
ONE TRUE GOD Actually One true God.. Jimel was the Avalon gardens.. you couldn't speak on the Gardens without his name.Their was a big difference between The Avalon gardens and the Avalon's.....Wolf and the Jackson brothers was considered 5 tray Avalon.... Around South park...I went to Jeff high school with them.....
+Jimmy Lavender I know Wolf and me and him talked a lot about the Crip history some year's ago .... He said Raymond Washington introduced him as ah Crip at ah party! Wolf name was changed to Crip ... But what I mean is Jimel is known as ah Original Crip more than he is an Avalon amongst Crips ...
ONE TRUE GOD, no sir. Avalon Gardens or The A.G. Boys, as they were sometimes referred to, was for sure "ringing" back when I was in elementary school, in the early 70's. And, Jimel was the leader of the crew😼😼😼
🤣🤣🤣 I love jimel barnes so much I can see him watching this interview saying nigga I did not jump out no window on the quick quick cuz you got me fuck up!
Hey Kevin Mac Cuzz, wsup? Yo, Mr Lavender, that's wsup man, mentioning the Wall Nuts. You know my father, Lil Tommie, a Wall Nut and my uncle Big John Seales. No secret that Jamel and John had difference of opinions. But thanks for the mention. I'm gonna let my pops know you through that out there. And also, you mentioned Bulldog. Is that the Bennie Ray Simpson rip Hoover Bulldog or another. My grandmother adopted him as her son years ago. I met him and when I tell you he was standing on my grandmother's steps wanting to fight 9 dudes from 87, he was all but ready....my father told me...they not coming cause they know who he is and what he is about...plus he wasn't gonna disrespect my granny's house...but dam. But again, thanks for that shout out to the Wall Nuts and Big John. Peace out.
Crips started with an open hand slap to Raymond Washington face....Jimmy Lavender thanks for being a TRUE friend to Jimel on the Quick, Quick, Quick, Quick....We need more people like you in this crazy racist world. Jimel might be going through some things now but in his hey day Jimel was a FACTOR. Pervis also said Big James Miller was bullied because he was a big kid. I respect EVERYONE that could stand toe to toe with bullies, especially if the bullies were older and more developed physically and mentally. Those bullies just wanted to control his swag early in his youth because they knew he would be a monster later in life when his mind , skills and game caught up with his physical presence and size. Both Jimel and Big James Miller were true warriors and they pushed the line in each of their hoods without having the backing of older brothers. Jimel not only get my respect but also my compassion. True LEADERS make thier own paths by being true to who they are and its clear that Head Huncho and Jimmy Lavender are TRUE LEADERS by telling the REAL vs jumping on the bandwagon to distort true CRIP / BLOOD history. True History will put Jimel Barnes as a reputable Day 1 OOOG. Remember he did it when it wasn't popular being light skinned which means although he was being hated on, he still was able to pull the baddest bitches in LA and hold his own from the shoulders up.....True Crip Legend.....Give that man his props..... Kev Mac you have a gift and I will always support your mission. SALUTE KM Videos...... Get at me for a REAL donation!!!
This video shows what real love is for a friend, and it reminded me of how Honcho talked about love amongst friends, can we get a one on one with Honcho too?
Jimmy said Jimel was good at Basketball and Track and flag Football, Most gang memebers were the best athletes in the hood, i think Jimel could have been the first Bo Jackson
Thank you Mr Lavender for your personal experiences, please hold your head up through the hate. I got put on in '97 in TX, so far removed from the truth and origins of a name that we did not have any real idea where it was coming from. I believe it is important how connected the early bangers really were. You and Cutes both talking highly of adversaries with respect and truthfulness, to me, is key to helping us all move forward.
Cory Wilkerson Sweetback was an original Westside Crip but they came in 2 to 3 years after crippin began. The Eastsiders from Drew Jr High have the real story about the Bloods / Crips and need those that are still living to tell about it.
Real talk story about Jimel Barnes. I'm from the Imperial Courts in Watts, CA, but I've been living in Fort Worth Tx for 13 years. I was rolling down the street and stopped at a stop sign in Fort Worth and a brother asked me for ride down the street to the store. I said what the hell, he looks harmless so I said come on. Jimel Barnes got in my car and the first thing he said before I said no other words is you a LA n****. I was shocked like how this dude know I from LA. I took him to the 7eleven and we chopped it up. He talked about a movie script he's trying to push and thangs, but you can tell he had some mental issues going on. Jimmy Lavender is perfectly correct in bringing this point out, but I can say this when your with him he's a cool cat. I think I saw him on the streets and gave him rides like twice after that. I promise this story is true.

Jimmy Lavender you may have been a cold gangster during your time but you are also a gentleman, scholar and maybe most importantly a true friend. Your compassion towards your old friend Jimel can teach us a lot!
Jimmy Lavender is a humble teacher...Salute to kev mac
Mr. Lavender always takes the high road and he is to be admired for that.
I agree
my grandparents said the same thing taking the high road is always better rip grandma and grandad
And he should be
You from Manchester? (UK not ETG)
Liverpool supporter
This almost made me cry. You don't see this level of loyalty anywhere anymore. This is so commendable on all levels.
Regardless of what said part Jimel played, he definitely is from that Original era... can't rewrite history
PeBee FanSpeak Battle Rap, truth✊✊✊
PeBee FanSpeak Battle Rap
Too bad the PCP fucked his head up
Jimel was a hard hitter yall bs. Wus up Avalon gangster crips
He said "Raymond pressured Jimel to be A Crip..He wasnt an Original CRIP..He wad ORIGINAL AVALON GANGSTER CRIP.
@@tekarayoung199 jimel barnes is an ORIGINAL! he ran with n was in the mix with all the original crips. No one could deny that
It’s cool how you getting all these triple OGS on film bro, on the real. I hate to say it but all these godfathers are most likely to be gone sooner rather than later, and I’m glad you are getting them out to the world to share before their time is up. Keep getting as many as you can Kev. Great work, appreciate it and am sure the OGS themselves appreciate you putting their story out for the world to see. I think it’s awesome that many, many future generations can always come back and look at these videos, that are more then just videos now, to be looked at as some real history. All because of what you do Kev this lifestyle will never be forgotten... ✊👊👍👌
SS GAINZ real talk. And that’s the motivation and more reason for them to share the history before they die with it.
no doubt!
That was a powerful EDING! "If you want true HISTORY you gotta have JIMEL IN THERE ! ".

Great Interview Big Kev. Much respect by allowing Mr. Lavender to speak on his friend Jimel and give a different perspective on the O.G's life. Great to see Mr.Lavender stand tall with Jimel even if Jimel is battling some mental health issues.
The exceptional accuracy of a south central historian Jimmy Lavender 92 Bishop's is unmatched.
Melvin Gipson Thanks folks
Melvin Gipson agreed bird gives a hell of an interview though too!
Out of all of the Jamel stories, I believe this one the most. Sounds like Jimel was bullied, and said eff it, and got turned out, like many youths today. I wish jimel could have a normal day, and give a real interview.
Jimel got bullied. Raymond Washington got slapped. All these guys were nobody to somebody before they became somebody's to mostly everybody...
He could have a normal interview dude just be trolling cause nobody takes him seriously. I know Samson knows some credible history
James Jones True history I love the way u put that
James Jones that’s some real shyt! ✊🏾
Appreciate it OOOG
The one thing these stories show is these gangs were started with KIDS let that sink in..all gangs start with children
In L.A best believe ah Seven year old boy ain't no child or child like!!!! Raymond was ah serious child and so was Crip Tookie .... You grow up real fast in L.A .... Who would think that I would meet the one who started the Crips my first day of PRESCHOOL getting out of my grandmother's car??? And actually held ah conversation with him!!!! Some of us are born with old souls and we mature faster than others!!!!
Trae Evans Exactly!!!!! Some kid's learn from ah big brother or uncle and become much more advanced than yo average kid that can't really even tie they shoe's right! Real shit CRIP!!!
The third time I met Raymond Washington on Wadsworth and 98th he was walking wit Jimel in 1979! That morning Raymond was calling me and my friends the baby homies from the Neighborhood and Jimel was yelling, come on Raymond leave them kid's alone!!! And Raymond told us , Y'all think I'm scared of him HUH? Cuz he bigger than me HUH? Then Raymond told us , size don't mean nothing!Then Raymond said , I'm they leader as Jimel and others stopped to wait for Raymond.. Raymond said they bet not drink my beer cuz y'all bought me that beer cuz my friend Adrian used to give Raymond money through the school gate! So Raymond caught up wit them and walked in the middle of the street and called Jimel out as Jimel screamed, Raymond you just tryin to show out in front of them kid's !!!! Raymond took the 40 ounce beer from one of his homies and before he tossed it to his mouth HE RAYMOND LOOKED BACC AT US KID'S AND SMILED!!!! And they marched together down the sidewalk I guess to Raymond's house! The next day Jimel came to the school in the morning and stopped and told us not to talk to Raymond cuz Raymond love people and he be drinking!!! Jimel said u seen it got serious wit me in Raymond the other day ... Jimel said y'all liked that huh and smiled! He asked me was I Raymond's people! You know why I asked you that? Cuz you favor Raymond! Then Jimel walked off and said alright Lil homes!!!! TRUE STORY WORD FOR WORD AS THE TRUE ONE GOD is my witness! 1979 on Wadsworth! 😎
ONE TRUE GOD lol
ONE TRUE GOD Great word you put up man..
ONE TRUE GOD, thanks for that shot of history. All we should do is let history speak for itself✊✊✊
Beautiful story

Jimmy Lavender. Any history about t Rogers you know of and how Bishop n crips fall out seems to me you guys was all friends
Just asking a bps kill my cousin in Chicago a few years back so how da hell bps end up in la
One day our people will get this together one big brother
Big Hauncho and Mac Thomas Started the Compton Crips and Grape Sreet, Hauncho said Jimel was the Man
HEAD HAUNCHO
He didn’t say he was the man he gave him his due
Tookie did mention Jamel Barnes in his book a few times so Jamel got to be very important to early Crip History
@GRE he said that cus they had beef they used to be friends why would you roll around with a buster dont believe that bs
@GRE if you use that logic a lot of the older bangers didnt put in work cus this was before the crack era and gunplay. My pops banged in this era and he been told me about seeing Tookie and Jamel always together and this is way before youtube.
Tk Kirkland lol Cuhz
Jimel never went to the pen hes a buster
Funk Buddah12 in the words of Head Huncho the original Eastside And Compton Crip Leader. Jamel love Crip’in and if it wasn’t for him there would be no Avalon Crips.
Great Interview Kev Mac , I Got Major Respect For You Doing This Interview 💯

Jae Smoove, that was definitely "stand up." It's takes a real man to speak the truth, irregardless of the circumstances☝
Word
Also, remember that those guys from the Avenues were a bit older than Jimel. Those are the same guys that turned Raymond away because he was to young, and if I'm not mistaken, Jimel may be one year younger than Raymond😎
My point is that everyone caught it from the Avenues back then, even Raymond when he got slapped. Now, what's your point in asking me what my point is?
Agree that Jimel was young and alone but he still battled and I respect that to the fullest
Shake Spear, dig that👍
Two years younger.
Mr. Lavender, a true gentleman... We ain't gon C too many moe of these types of bruthas. Pretty much tha last generation of true ol school folks...

Yep, these are true facts. After the Avenues reign, there was always the battles between the Wall-Nuts, the Park Boys, and the Avalon Gardens. At the time,, I was in the 4th, 5th, and 6th grades, and that was always the topic of discussion in school. The news would always travel over the "Hood Newswire" of where the fights were going to be😎😎😎
Pharoah 1 What became of the WALL-NUTS ??????
jacques aldredge, they grew up, moved out, moved on, joined different factions, some may have become 87GC's😼
Who were the original Avalon garden boys/Crips

Mr. Lavender has both class & compassion...Respect!
OOOG j.lavernder shoot that knowledge
Real talk it's as simple as that we can't change history but it don't stop people from trying. Jimel is a big part of Crip history.
Eric Taylor, history is history👍
Pharoah 1 bean asked me about you I told him that you go by the name Pharoah he doesn't know you by that name.
Pharoah 1 Yup he read your article and don't know who you are he asked me if I knew you but I don't.
Eric Taylor, if this Bean from the apartments, tell him that we're gonna grab Spook, and you can roll also, and we're gonna sit down over some Roscoe's, and catch up, and laugh about this ish. In the near future. Real talk👊👊👊
Pharoah 1 ole it's bean he wants to know your name he said he can't believe that you don't know Cat
Wonderful Perspective from OOOG JIMMY LAVENDER and by doing this KEV MAC has displayed Fair & Balanced Journalism 👌👌👌💯💯💯
jacques aldredge that’s the one thing I hate the most about comments from some of the people that don’t know me and not aware of my earlier work. When they say I’m a hater or biased you can tell off the top they don’t know shit about Kev Mac!
Fo Sho KM
Shake Spear LoL,Corrected💯👌
jacques aldredge Thanks Jacques Kev have been a great and fair journalist I never dreamed this would bring so much hate....
Jimmy Lavender Men need to check thier feelings at the door,The reality is Cripping & Blooding was Spawn by ignorant youth not mature educated adults so many can't accept that they're are apart of something that was destined to lead to death,jealousy,betrayal,drug addiction,incarceration and confusion
Jimmy is the best man.
Kev you killing it on here
J Lavender makes you just hang on every word and listen like a lil kid on a bedtime story or something. Damn
Excellent interview, great content!!
It’s crazy how everything goes back to the avenues
This was a dope interview
Jay Murray, that's that real Eastside history✊✊✊
Jay Murray This is why I call the Avenues the father of the Crips
Salute to the og Jimmy Lavender I like how u keep it truthful and respectful peace og
Terrell Sanders Jimmy Lavender's story sounds much more official than Cutes's and other OG's that decided to bandwagon and twist the story on Jimel. I feel like it comes down to jealousy, envy, saltiness and embarassment. Alleged mental issue's don't change the history. Gangbanging is crazy anyway right?
Real Men Are Not Defined By The Group They Run With Because Real Recognize Real.✌🏾🎧Dj Vegas
At DJ VEGAS Watts up This The Big Homie..That's Real talk it's No Guessing About Jimel i'm 63 i saw what he was doing
Donald, That Part! Big homie,what it is ,is a lot of cats are getting misinformed by people that want to rewrite history and place themselves right there with the info they have heard about over the years and a lot of that was produced by jail house stories that was passed along and has changed from the real story. Watch out! The cameras on!!!😂✌🏾🎧Dj Vegas
Great interview by Jimmy Lavender. He seems to be a humble Triple OG..
Damn good job Kev also Mr Lavender I feel stupid for dismissing you because of the hard truth you told.
THE CATSKILLIAN ...A special thanks to you... When i decided to interview I told kev it would be based on truth...I thought this is what people wanted to hear... For the most part it is.... But many chose to live in untruths...... I'm very serious about history....and truth....I appreciate your coming out.... your the first.....
Mr. Lavender is a truly genuine Evolutionary Elder.
Best one so far, Kev Mac VIdeos, Keep doing yo thang Kev, Thats a Nice Camera you got
Me lavender is always a class act ... keep in mind he could go the path of least resistance and renounce jimel.but he is still riding for his friend god bless you mr lavender. Lesson not falling on deaf ears
Thank you always side with right
Proper order bro. Backing up the mental health. Sampson cool bro. All the way from Ireland. Amen. God bless
Mr. Lavendar is Dope and a True Friend. I sometimes wondered if Jimel was a popular name in the 70’s because my name is Jamel and I’m a late 70’s baby. Lol Great Interview Kev ✊🏾✊🏾
Damn this shit is better than high school history and I’m 45 from the Bay Area in this sh;t is history.. part 1 and part 2
This really explains alot about Jimel and his actions now. Respect
Much love and respect for OG Jimmy lavender I used to live next door to Jimmy and his family and his brother Bobby and his sister Brenda at 8910 Beach Street Jimmy was a nice guy into you made him mad but God is good did you can tell all these youngsters how it was
Now, you heard it right there, that Jimel was the leader of the Avalon Garden Crips, and the other guys were "his" followers, and the "tag-a-longs."😎😎😎
Pharaoh 1 Jimel wasn't known as ah Avalon on the East Side for real .... He was known as ah East Side Crip with Raymond!!! Those street names wasn't really ringing! CRIP was thang not ah set!!!!
ONE TRUE GOD Actually One true God.. Jimel was the Avalon gardens.. you couldn't speak on the Gardens without his name.Their was a big difference between The Avalon gardens and the Avalon's.....Wolf and the Jackson brothers was considered 5 tray Avalon.... Around South park...I went to Jeff high school with them.....
+Jimmy Lavender I know Wolf and me and him talked a lot about the Crip history some year's ago .... He said Raymond Washington introduced him as ah Crip at ah party! Wolf name was changed to Crip ... But what I mean is Jimel is known as ah Original Crip more than he is an Avalon amongst Crips ...
ONE TRUE GOD, no sir. Avalon Gardens or The A.G. Boys, as they were sometimes referred to, was for sure "ringing" back when I was in elementary school, in the early 70's. And, Jimel was the leader of the crew😼😼😼
ONE TRUE GOD, nope, Jimel was known more as A.G.😎
🤣🤣🤣 I love jimel barnes so much I can see him watching this interview saying nigga I did not jump out no window on the quick quick cuz you got me fuck up!
Much respect Mr.Lavender
Mr. Lavender
We appreciate you for continuing to be an upstanding human being. I love my hometown.
Great video, always good content here
I knew Jimel was official but PTSD will fuck you up for real !!! Respect to the founders !
Yoooo! Cuz... You drawl'n cuz with that intro... Lmao..
LMAOOO KEV MAC “what typa problems” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So Mr. Kev Mac I have a question now that you’ve interviewed a few people. What’s your conclusion about Mr. Jermell
great interview kev
Jimmy a stand up brother.. He spoke so well when explaining mental health. 💯
Jimmy Lavendar is like miyamoto musashi- the badass samurai warrior who hung up the sword and became a guru.
TRUE HISTORY! MR JIMMY LAVENDER ...K.M VIDEOS ...KEV MAC!
I could sit and listen to the O.G. speak for hours.
I had family that lived on Beach Street, between Firestone & 92nd, back in the 60's, hence the name "Beach Boys""🌴
Pharoah 1 who's ur family
Jimmy Lavender, she was an older relative that watched us sometimes during the day. We called her Miss Sis👩
Hey Kevin Mac Cuzz, wsup? Yo, Mr Lavender, that's wsup man, mentioning the Wall Nuts. You know my father, Lil Tommie, a Wall Nut and my uncle Big John Seales. No secret that Jamel and John had difference of opinions. But thanks for the mention. I'm gonna let my pops know you through that out there. And also, you mentioned Bulldog. Is that the Bennie Ray Simpson rip Hoover Bulldog or another. My grandmother adopted him as her son years ago. I met him and when I tell you he was standing on my grandmother's steps wanting to fight 9 dudes from 87, he was all but ready....my father told me...they not coming cause they know who he is and what he is about...plus he wasn't gonna disrespect my granny's house...but dam. But again, thanks for that shout out to the Wall Nuts and Big John. Peace out.
Day And Night Getting folks ask your pops could he find.. Liberace from walnuts.. Thanks
If anyone ever got a shoe shine at Chambers, then you would recognize the presence of the Avenues👞👞👞
Pharoah 1 I use to take my baseball gloves their....He hired all the neighborhood kids
Jimmy Lavender, yeah he hired quite a few youngsters. I remember all of the guys with the blue smocks😎
Man love this shit! Jimmy is so real he keep it 100 like it’s supposed be
Crips started with an open hand slap to Raymond Washington face....Jimmy Lavender thanks for being a TRUE friend to Jimel on the Quick, Quick, Quick, Quick....We need more people like you in this crazy racist world. Jimel might be going through some things now but in his hey day Jimel was a FACTOR. Pervis also said Big James Miller was bullied because he was a big kid. I respect EVERYONE that could stand toe to toe with bullies, especially if the bullies were older and more developed physically and mentally. Those bullies just wanted to control his swag early in his youth because they knew he would be a monster later in life when his mind , skills and game caught up with his physical presence and size. Both Jimel and Big James Miller were true warriors and they pushed the line in each of their hoods without having the backing of older brothers. Jimel not only get my respect but also my compassion. True LEADERS make thier own paths by being true to who they are and its clear that Head Huncho and Jimmy Lavender are TRUE LEADERS by telling the REAL vs jumping on the bandwagon to distort true CRIP / BLOOD history. True History will put Jimel Barnes as a reputable Day 1 OOOG. Remember he did it when it wasn't popular being light skinned which means although he was being hated on, he still was able to pull the baddest bitches in LA and hold his own from the shoulders up.....True Crip Legend.....Give that man his props..... Kev Mac you have a gift and I will always support your mission. SALUTE KM Videos...... Get at me for a REAL donation!!!
Shake Spear you said it all....
Jimal and Jimmy Miller was bully and both rose to the top of the largest and most powerfulness gang the Crips...
Jimmy Lavender Jimmy Lavender is the TRUTH and we learn so much from your wisdom, knowledge and understanding......
Shake Spear thanks
Much Love “Kev Mac Videos!” You Know It’s Fo_Sho....YEAH!
This video shows what real love is for a friend, and it reminded me of how Honcho talked about love amongst friends, can we get a one on one with Honcho too?
I see ya on your editing game Kev💪💯
Jimmy said Jimel was good at Basketball and Track and flag Football, Most gang memebers were the best athletes in the hood, i think Jimel could have been the first Bo Jackson
Thank you Mr Lavender for your personal experiences, please hold your head up through the hate. I got put on in '97 in TX, so far removed from the truth and origins of a name that we did not have any real idea where it was coming from. I believe it is important how connected the early bangers really were. You and Cutes both talking highly of adversaries with respect and truthfulness, to me, is key to helping us all move forward.
Mr. Lavender is very respectful well spoken original gangster...
Could you get sweetback? I would like to hear him talk more on the originals.
Cory Wilkerson Sweetback was an original Westside Crip but they came in 2 to 3 years after crippin began. The Eastsiders from Drew Jr High have the real story about the Bloods / Crips and need those that are still living to tell about it.
Real talk story about Jimel Barnes. I'm from the Imperial Courts in Watts, CA, but I've been living in Fort Worth Tx for 13 years. I was rolling down the street and stopped at a stop sign in Fort Worth and a brother asked me for ride down the street to the store. I said what the hell, he looks harmless so I said come on. Jimel Barnes got in my car and the first thing he said before I said no other words is you a LA n****. I was shocked like how this dude know I from LA. I took him to the 7eleven and we chopped it up. He talked about a movie script he's trying to push and thangs, but you can tell he had some mental issues going on. Jimmy Lavender is perfectly correct in bringing this point out, but I can say this when your with him he's a cool cat. I think I saw him on the streets and gave him rides like twice after that. I promise this story is true.
grimesfamily1 have you seen jimel recently ?
Solid material bro. Keep it classy Jim 👍🏽👍🏽
Big Kev!!!! You drop it for me
This man is a real one the only one who admitted Jamell knew of tookie they just weren't friends yet
My dude is such a soft spoken guy this nigga probably the best grandad 😂😂
Salute to Jimel Every man need his just due! Truly seems he was a man 1st!
He might be slippin mentally...
But if his name is always brought up, positive or negative he is heavily involved. Whether anybody like it or not.
Facts
