You have to respect this at all angles. A reporter casually walks into a gang neighborhood and start asking questions. The gang member answers those questions without any issues.
Hell nah. You don't know what it's like in certain neighborhoods and whatnot. The cops is the biggest gang in America and do worse than the crips and bloods combined. But I bet somebody like you, @American Pride , uh just support the crooked cops n shit.
@@zazasnruntz7505 Really now? Serving your country that was attacked on a large scale in 2001, to take out a group killing innocent people, is anywhere similar to wreaking havoc on the streets of LA? There’s a clip of a guy throwing a bottle in front of passerby’s vehicles for no reason other than to be a nuisance. These gangs are fighting over drugs and territory, committing robberies and every other illegal act gang members participate in. You’re out of your mind if you think military service members and gang members are anywhere near the same. One is fighting in an attempt to maintain the standards of their country with exceptional rights, the other is fighting to look cool and jump kids that looked at them funny on a sidewalk.

@@Spartan_Rage7 No, people don't have the right to take other people's lives. The stuff gangs did in the 80s is unspeakable. You can do whatever you want to AS LONG AS IT ONLY INVOLVES YOU.
His reasoning for being in a gang was for acceptance, comradery, love & protection you know the things you are supposed to have in your own household. Unfortunately a lot of these guys aren't able to articulate that so it seems as if they are just in a gang to just be in a gang
It’s lack of education at most so they can’t express their feelings at the fullest with words, but what you wrote is exactly what they feel and express It’s family first, followed by love and so on..
Sadly the white media knows they can’t articulate why there in the gang and they use that to spin there narrative that all black people are in gangs for no reason just because there violent for no reason. When these neighborhoods are all u see failing schools no jobs and they don’t see any way out what do u expect from them to cure cancer or become rocket scientist???
You can’t rule this out tho, it’s the area you live in you can say “I’m not in a gang I’m not in a gang” all you want. Nobody cares, then they ask where yo grandma stay, and that’s where you from. It’s like a damn maze with no way out except to move but most low income folkz can’t just do that, so the kids end up ganging with their friends or just getting down w a gang sad

@@hxhdfjifzirstc894that don't mean it's not a freestyle or originally something he came up with. It's a difference between on the spot or not a freestyle is a freestyle.
Its because they were legitimately gang members who needed to do that to get by while the ones today are really just posing as what they think gang members are and trying to look eccentric and tough
The difference between a gang like the bloods and today's GOP like Marjorie, Donald, Matt, Tucker, Hannity, etc, is that the GOP are cop callers. MTG called the cops on Jimmy Kimmell. LMAO. A gang member would never do that. The GOP talk big with guns in their hands, but without those guns, they are quick to call the cops.
It ain't that sad for these kinds of people. I mean, you heard them. Basically the entire point of their gang is just to be hard and kill the other gangs because "they're down". Didn't even mention money or drugs. Their friends getting killed just gives them and excuse to kill, which is why they joined in reality....
@@pauld.b7129 They joined for camaraderie, protection and love. The natural human trait of assigning yourself to a "tribe". Many of these kids started in broken homes, with cracked up parents (thanks to the CIA helping traffic cocaine into Hollywood and thus L.A as a whole). THeir houses get shot up in some wild gang war, their sister, brother, freiend dies, and they feel like they now need to join the frey and get back at those who wronged them. Topped off with a lack of a solid house hold it's no wonder they find themselves in trap houses with a bunch of other gangsters that welcome them in, feed them, and give them drugs to escape their reality.....And then the cycle continues...
@danny supersell That's because GTA San Andreas was based off of the 80's gang wars in Compton and other L.A boroughs. It's actually a comedic masterpiece in gang mentality and how people get caught up in gangs when they were simply trying to make their way out of the hood. When everything and everyone around you is doin illegal shit, it's hard to not get "stuck in" without completely alienating yourself from the world around you.
Most gang members I have met in my life were looking for love and acceptance. Things they didn't get at home, mainly due to the fact their father figure was missing from their lives. Truly sad.
@@rypsterhc8673 nah a lot of the kid did this cause they father was gone and the mother was never at home cause they were working so much so they found acceptance in the street now the adults are the superior og bitches
@@jddropemoff4974 you havent met real gang members then.💀 because nobody joins because it was "cool" thats like saying people smoke weed because it was "cool" nah it was to get high like everyone else. And well gang members join gangs because of protection from getting jumped,attention they dont get at home, escape abuse from their family, or desperate for money or a thousand other reasons. Its way deeper than oh it looked cool. Because nobody does it to look cool. They do it because it benefits them in someway.
It always surprises me that interviewers are surprised by guys like this disregard for death, like when that’s all you know of course you become very desensitized to it, you’d go crazy if you didn’t
Sounds more stupid.... it is stupid, it’s not like there some hero’s or something, it’s just kids doin dumb kid stuff, like fr even if there getting nothing out of it they are just gonna throw there life away for pretty much nothing at all, an they just tell all the police that hey I’m in a gang come arrest me when they cover themselves from head to toe in bandanas, so no I don’t think desensitized or whatever your saying or everyone else is saying I just think it’s stupidity
@@NarutoUzumaki-eo9fv they’re just adapting to their environment. Sure it seems stupid from your perspective because you grew up privileged enough to see a different lifestyle. This is all a lot of these people know. I’m not advocating or condoning gang banging but it makes sense that someone in a violent area would get used to violence…..
@@kub3d my environment is meth heads and drug dealers, saying I’m privileged is just a racist stereotype against white people, my environment is worst then theirs it’s trailers and shake and bake, and meth heads staying up all night trying to kill one another, you really don’t know what your talking about dude, not all white people are privileged and just because people don’t live in the hood doesn’t mean there privileged, the hood isn’t the only struggling place in America I’m sick how people completely ignore and don’t understand how some white people also come from struggling places, even more so then the hood in some situations, you don’t have to fall into that way of life, you still have choices, you really got no idea the place that I live and if you did, privileged would be the last thing you would call it
@@kub3d yes I know hearing white people struggle aswell is a hard pill to swallow when society acts as tho we are all privileged and some rich racists in our big fancy Lamborghinis livin in Hollywood, but you need to understand right now that’s just a racist sterotype

There’s something about the man’s demeanor, that calm, candid (even if a bit brash) way he spoke to the reporter that tells me he really has seen and been through what he’s talking about. Hope he’s still doing alright.
For those wanting more info, and to stop the spread of misinformation. His real name is Bruce (source: 48 hours: Gang street), he lived on Fraley in the Lime Hood (source: Facebook accounts of people in the area, who were around at that time [with other important names being Dusty, Lil Bone, Handz, Wolf, Tone Bone, Ducky Hood, and Boston (Dusty Loc, Boston, Wolf, and Handz are in this interview)]). Tone Bone is the light skin one and was killed 4 days after the interview (R.I.P). The guy rapping was part of Piru MOB and was sentenced for killing Ducky Hood, he was 15 at time of interview. Other than that, they are all ok, Dusty Loc is still alive (Source: Mellymel interviewed Lime Hood on his TH-cam channel and confirms that Dusty is alive). Hope that answers everyones questions, and please don't believe people that are in the comments talking about everyone getting smoked with their source being "trust me bro".
This reminds me of when I lived and worked in my families mini mart back in the 80s west side of Chicago rough black neighborhood we had a couple of gang members always come in and buy those D size batteries for their boom box stereo we always showed them respect and my uncle would give them a discount on those batteries so they were kool with us and we got their protection we never had a hold up in the store I had moved like 25 years ago to Cali and recently I came back to visit Chicago went to the store and one of the gang members who used to buy batteries was still alive and recognized me honestly I was happy to see him.

Did you know that Vice City was inspired by the neon city of 80's Miami? Jokes aside, GTA just takes an iconic/flavourful real life setting and turns it into a game. I don't remember what GTAIV was specifically based off of, but the drab immigrant dock worker aesthetic has been around for atleast 100 years. Sadly, with GTAV they lost their trend by returning to Los Santos. V has no style in comparison. It's almost like it's a parody of itself.
Journalists now: “I influenced a presidential election because I couldn’t handle mean tweets.” Journalists then: “I will literally walk up to a gang and ask them questions.”
It’s always been like that. Some journalists: how can we hide the truth? Others: “come on, let’s walk up to these guys and ask them wtf is going on here”
@Critique Everything haha yeah wtf journalists are so DUMB they're trying to talk to us about THINGS and IDEAS. I don't need anyone to give me ideas. I know everything that is happening everywhere at all times. I don't need the NEWS or the MEDIA to tell me what I ALREADY KNOW. BECAUSE I KNOW IT ALL
Two things struck me about this young man, he was respectful and he was only 17. I believe these kids were doing the best the could to survive in their environment. Very sad that this is in America. I hope Dusty Loc is still alive today.
You shouldn't believe these kids were doing the right thing. He was talking just like that about killing and get killed. It is a big deal for a 17 yo boy talking about death like it was a game. That's exactly the root of almost all of your problems. You people from states concieve violence like something natural, and that'ts definitely not cool.
@@maximgdcould you elaborate on violence not being natural? I feel the need to clarify that the tone of that question is genuine interest, not me setting you up to try and insult your opinion.
@@maximgdhistory has been riddled with violence for thousands of years. It must be natural. Not that that's a good thing mind you, but bro. Show me ANY period of history without violence. You can't. It's terrible, absolutely horrifying, but it's ALWAYS been around and violence seems to be FAR more prevalent than kindness unfortunately. We just don't bury our heads in the sand. Wherever you're from, there's violence there too.m I promise you. Maybe you dint see it, or maybe since you are from wherever you're from, you act like it doesn't exist, but it does. It's a fact of life anywhere you go I promise you. It may not happen everyday everywhere, but it's always lurking around the corner.
As an old quote says: “an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind - Mahatma Gandhi”, perfectly describes this. I hope the mate is doing good, but if he is already gone, then I hope he rests in peace.

Rosario Munoz u missed allot of cities bruh Louisiana has always had the highest murder rate PER CAPITA still does too Detroit has always been bad Chicago as well and DC too Baltimore is crazy Gary Indiana fucking horrible etc but my family is from LA (watts) I use to go out there in the summer time every year as a kid that was in the 90’s and it didn’t seem any different from New Orleans that’s AFTER it had gotten “better” compared to the 80’s
Yeah well how many get recruited at 18 by the military and die for that gang and honour instead? Teens getting into trouble because they are broke and bored half the time.
As someone from L.A. and who went to public schools in South L.A., I found it hilarious that the reporter thought "Loc" was shorthand for the Spanish word "Loco". He has NO CLUE.
I was born in 73 and grew up in the eighties. The eighties was rough on many levels, politically, economically, socially you name it the 80’s started it. Crime, drugs, war, tragedy, financial, social problems wow I can go on and on. If you made it through the 80’s God bless you and I hope theses young Men did to.
@ Cody you’re correct the 60’s was turbulent particularly with the start of the Vietnam war, social unrest and economic challenges. However in my opinion the 80’s started the true period of decay. The 60’s were tamed compared to the shock of the 80’s.
Aids epidemic, Chernobyl, Iran Contra scandal, Berlin Wall came down, USSR Collapsed, Worst recession since Great Depression, Computers, Reganomics, Wars, CNN 24 hour News, Cocaine, Gangs, War on Drugs, Highest unemployment, Challenger explosion witnessed in classrooms including mine, Rise in conservative movement, Cold War, last time the Chicago Bears won anything, Man I can go on and on, the 80's was savage.
That's because they all grow up in an environment where they have to grow up faster & experience stuff at a young age. Its not like growing up in a nice gated community in the surberbs. In the hood its different because most of these dude don't even got parents or an uncle or big brother to raise them the right way & even if they got older relatives to raise them, they are also gang members as well.
Ever wonder how soldiers go to war and return looking like they aged 10 years? Same growing up in a bad neighborhood where it’s basically a war zone people dropping daily etc.
the interviewer failed a golden opportunity to really delve into this kid's mindset. when the kid said 'he's down'', why didn't the interviewer press him and ask him to clarify what exactly he's down for?

This is almost comedy the way the news and the journalist spoke and reported on it. I'm not a gang member, but I been listening to rap and hip hop culture for 30 years, and still appreciate the message of "Down for the cause" its nice to read that the Dusty dude is still around. Hope he is inspiring others towards peace love and respect. Players on opposite teams don't need to kill each other. They just need to have fun and make those dollars!
If you really listen to what this kid is saying it is truly heartbreaking that this is the mindset of a 17 year old kid in America. This is why it is so important for fathers to be in the home this kid is so misguided.
@@df8245 Lmao you think it's racist to congratulate people who didn't fall for degenerate culture. This is garbage its destructive and nothing inherently good comes from it.
It's amazing how much perspectives change with time. Now, as an adult, when I look at these people, all I can see are insecure kids who want to feel like they belong to something and feel like they have control in their lives.
@TeniquasInTheWild The irony is, I see the same thing in you. The same thing that got these kids on the street and in gangs is the same thing that got you to put in the time and energy to make racist content for TH-cam. You both made poor choices due to a set of circumstances that altered your thought process in an unhealthy way.
Respect to everyone. The reporter, the gang, everyone. 17, to live like that, and be honest about it. It's all feuds, everywhere, someone else's feuds that the young are expected to die for. This kid recognised that, and accepted it. This gang acts no different to countries, how they treat their soldiers. If you have a problem with gangs, which you really should, you surely have to have a bigger problem with your own selfish government
@Mr. Meeseeks what u think gangs are made for ? 😂 this is what y’all see from the outside , gangs ain’t about fighting and killing it’s about getting MONEY . People don’t join gangs to stay broke 😂
Youre talking like older generations werent the one that raised the new ones,youre shooting your own generation in the foot,and fun fact drug addictions and hippies where way more common and widespread in the 80s and 90s
this is actually really sad that these guys had their childhoods and i guess whole lives for some people hijacked by their terrible circumstances that would turn them to this
Yeah, and they went around and stole the childhoods of hundreds, if not thousands of other youngsters. Comes a time where you lose pity, and see it for what it is
@@resyntax Having basic requirments is not the same as only allowing a specific race. The issue is that most countries still view population growth as a goal even though basic logic dicates that what an increasingly technologically advanced society requires is a lower number of exceptional peopel to run the systems and machines that create productivity.
I’m in no way a gang member but I’ve grown up around stuff like this in cali, az, and Mexico and it’s mainly a family thing and like he said the area your born or raised in, like my family has ties into the cartel which we have long left behind, but you ask any of them why the were in it and they would say it’s a family thing to stick together and not let anyone mess with us. And it’s gotten a lot bigger than that but it started with rival tribes, just like the bloods and the crips, so I understand where he’s coming from when he said what he said. It’s sad to see kids nowadays want to join a gang because they think it’s cool, until they get shot, back then they knew the risks and danger of being one but they chose to for the sake of their hood.
Back when people were talking and listening to each other. Kind of absurd to see that murderous gangsters from the eighties are more proficient in the skill of communication than all these "experts" nowadays.
What??? I was around in the 80's you must not have been. The amount of murders back then were some of the highest in the history of America. It was so bad that serious criminal reform took place.
@@TwoPlusTwoEqualsFive32he doesn't blame the world amd his choices? You mean it was his choice that he probably didn't have a good family and background? That society doesn't give a fuk about these neighborhoods? Bullshit, tgus guy is doing what he needs to to survive and take care of his people
I see 2 different realities. The reporter likely comes from a safe neighborhood with opportunity to advance. The gang member is clearly in a hostile environment where you can’t sit back and think too much, you gotta move with instinct. The gang member has developed these instincts, one of them being loyalty to his tribe, because they offer safety and strength. He never had the opportunity to think about the philosophical or psychological implications. For the reporter, his environment isn’t hostile, survival is expected, and he has time to contemplate the deeper issues in life. But he is underdeveloped in primal instincts. It’s fascinating when different cultures interact. There’s likely misunderstandings that have deep roots but are only looked at through shallow lenses. This happens a lot in modern America, the most diverse country in the world. With a bit of understanding and patience we might make progress.
wow great commmentary. it kinda reminds me of 'the society that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting by fools'

@@ryan_team1420 Many people want better, but they don't know how to get it or what it even looks like. If you didn't know what it looked like, and you've never had it, you wouldn't even know where to begin. It would be like you going into a foreign country for the first time, where everyone speaks a different language and has a completely different culture, and lives by a different set of rules, and trying to thrive in it. Then there's the fact that humans gravitate to what's familiar to them. They might know that how their living is wrong, and they may want better, but for most people it would be scary to enter such unfamiliar territory, like a fish out of water. Those who've always had such great opportunities, exposure, and experiences, really have no idea the struggle, both mentally and physically, that an oppressed person has to go through to work their way up to the same starting point as someone with privilege.
Reporter: "Why be in a gang?" In summation: "Look at where I'm from. I'm a product of my environment. I embrace it. I'm proud of it." Sometimes the answers are simple.
Im also 17 and I gotta admit he make me look like a kid, but than again I went to a bad school in kindergarten that had 4th or 5th graders that looked like middle schoolers

I love how the guy thats being interviewed is honest about him being a gangster, sure he might have killed another rival gang for their friends and their turf but at the end of the day he understands that its a risk he's willing to take and if he gets arrested then he'll know his time is up.
Honest about it? I mean I guess, but there's nothing particularly admirable or praiseworthy about it though lol. He's just young and dumb and poor, and really caught up in a culture of senseless violence and brutish machismo. All of the comments here complementing this kid are kinda silly to me.

People here should look into the griselda crew. OGs that have all dropped great, real hip hop albums in the last 6 months. Also pusha T dropped this week, people saying no real rap is coming out, tf you mean
It's all just flexing and fake BS nowadays. Dudes talking bout their hard upbringing without any elaboration then talking about how many hoes they fucked and how fast their Rolls Royce can go.
When "gangs" still had attitude, respect for each other and life in general. When hard drugs had not destroyed a generation either by addiction or corruption. When money was the big dream but not more important than family and friendship.
Props to them for being respectful and honest in the interview, but he litterly said "we in the gang to die" and then he explaied how its a never-ending circle of just bloodfued.

His reasoning for being in a gang was for acceptance, comradery, love & protection you know the things you are supposed to have in your own household. Unfortunately a lot of these guys aren't able to articulate that so it seems as if they are just in a gang to just be in a gang
It’s lack of education at most so they can’t express their feelings at the fullest with words, but what you wrote is exactly what they feel and express
It’s family first, followed by love and so on..
Sadly the white media knows they can’t articulate why there in the gang and they use that to spin there narrative that all black people are in gangs for no reason just because there violent for no reason. When these neighborhoods are all u see failing schools no jobs and they don’t see any way out what do u expect from them to cure cancer or become rocket scientist???
@@SephirothGodF7 exactly!
You can’t rule this out tho, it’s the area you live in you can say “I’m not in a gang I’m not in a gang” all you want. Nobody cares, then they ask where yo grandma stay, and that’s where you from. It’s like a damn maze with no way out except to move but most low income folkz can’t just do that, so the kids end up ganging with their friends or just getting down w a gang sad

@@pauld.b7129 They joined for camaraderie, protection and love. The natural human trait of assigning yourself to a "tribe". Many of these kids started in broken homes, with cracked up parents (thanks to the CIA helping traffic cocaine into Hollywood and thus L.A as a whole). THeir houses get shot up in some wild gang war, their sister, brother, freiend dies, and they feel like they now need to join the frey and get back at those who wronged them. Topped off with a lack of a solid house hold it's no wonder they find themselves in trap houses with a bunch of other gangsters that welcome them in, feed them, and give them drugs to escape their reality.....And then the cycle continues...
@danny supersell That's because GTA San Andreas was based off of the 80's gang wars in Compton and other L.A boroughs.

This is almost comedy the way the news and the journalist spoke and reported on it.

Hope he is inspiring others towards peace love and respect. Players on opposite teams don't need to kill each other. They just need to have fun and make those dollars!

It's amazing how much perspectives change with time. Now, as an adult, when I look at these people, all I can see are insecure kids who want to feel like they belong to something and feel like they have control in their lives.
the hoods still exist, insecurities to
Soci(et)al engineering for control and keeping privately owned prisons full.. people don't think
So ur saying u used to idolize shit like this … typical . U praise the black struggle !
@TeniquasInTheWild The irony is, I see the same thing in you. The same thing that got these kids on the street and in gangs is the same thing that got you to put in the time and energy to make racist content for TH-cam. You both made poor choices due to a set of circumstances that altered your thought process in an unhealthy way.
I also see insecure kids joining frats, the military, and police. All the same thing, the desire to be part of something.
Respect to everyone. The reporter, the gang, everyone. 17, to live like that, and be honest about it. It's all feuds, everywhere, someone else's feuds that the young are expected to die for. This kid recognised that, and accepted it. This gang acts no different to countries, how they treat their soldiers. If you have a problem with gangs, which you really should, you surely have to have a bigger problem with your own selfish government
Lol its not like countries. they say its about gang loyalty but really it’s all about what turf they can sell drugs on

Youre talking like older generations werent the one that raised the new ones,youre shooting your own generation in the foot,and fun fact drug addictions and hippies where way more common and widespread in the 80s and 90s
Teens in the 80s committed more robberies and murders than teens do now. Y’all sound very silly
That funny they kill more people then today
the boomer levels are off the charts with this comment
this is actually really sad that these guys had their childhoods and i guess whole lives for some people hijacked by their terrible circumstances that would turn them to this
Yeah, and they went around and stole the childhoods of hundreds, if not thousands of other youngsters.

What’s sad if that their parents were allowed to have children
@@maknavickas what?
@@skinwalker_hangdog if your life is a mess you should not have children. Pretty simple concept.
@@resyntax Having basic requirments is not the same as only allowing a specific race. The issue is that most countries still view population growth as a goal even though basic logic dicates that what an increasingly technologically advanced society requires is a lower number of exceptional peopel to run the systems and machines that create productivity.
I’m in no way a gang member but I’ve grown up around stuff like this in cali, az, and Mexico and it’s mainly a family thing and like he said the area your born or raised in, like my family has ties into the cartel which we have long left behind, but you ask any of them why the were in it and they would say it’s a family thing to stick together and not let anyone mess with us. And it’s gotten a lot bigger than that but it started with rival tribes, just like the bloods and the crips, so I understand where he’s coming from when he said what he said. It’s sad to see kids nowadays want to join a gang because they think it’s cool, until they get shot, back then they knew the risks and danger of being one but they chose to for the sake of their hood.
I understand. It looks cool when you fire the gun but it's always messy and horrible when the bullet finds it's target..

Back when people were talking and listening to each other. Kind of absurd to see that murderous gangsters from the eighties are more proficient in the skill of communication than all these "experts" nowadays.
Yes it's insane. Peoples communication skills today are so poor because people today spend most if not all their spare time on their smartphones.

that rap verse the other dude sung at the end was pretty good
When rapping was about expressing yourself and painting stories through your words. No fake shit
@@joe-mama94 ah yes, such a sophisticated expression in these verses
@@filip6127 It was a giant cliche of middle school rhymes.
I see 2 different realities. The reporter likely comes from a safe neighborhood with opportunity to advance. The gang member is clearly in a hostile environment where you can’t sit back and think too much, you gotta move with instinct. The gang member has developed these instincts, one of them being loyalty to his tribe, because they offer safety and strength. He never had the opportunity to think about the philosophical or psychological implications. For the reporter, his environment isn’t hostile, survival is expected, and he has time to contemplate the deeper issues in life. But he is underdeveloped in primal instincts.
It’s fascinating when different cultures interact. There’s likely misunderstandings that have deep roots but are only looked at through shallow lenses. This happens a lot in modern America, the most diverse country in the world. With a bit of understanding and patience we might make progress.
He wouldn’t have to be in a gang if he desired a better life and a good job
wow great commmentary. it kinda reminds me of 'the society that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting by fools'
Very well articulated. You literally spoke every thing that ran through my mind as I watched this! To have such insight, you must have had some kind of experience in both worlds that you mention.
@@ryan_team1420 Many people want better, but they don't know how to get it or what it even looks like. If you didn't know what it looked like, and you've never had it, you wouldn't even know where to begin. It would be like you going into a foreign country for the first time, where everyone speaks a different language and has a completely different culture, and lives by a different set of rules, and trying to thrive in it. Then there's the fact that humans gravitate to what's familiar to them. They might know that how their living is wrong, and they may want better, but for most people it would be scary to enter such unfamiliar territory, like a fish out of water. Those who've always had such great opportunities, exposure, and experiences, really have no idea the struggle, both mentally and physically, that an oppressed person has to go through to work their way up to the same starting point as someone with privilege.
The black man had all the opportunity he needed if he wanted to apply himself. Look into Thomas Sowell

He actually listens and answers questions with coherent sentences unlike a lot of the people we promote today.
Reporter: "Why be in a gang?"
In summation: "Look at where I'm from. I'm a product of my environment. I embrace it. I'm proud of it."
Sometimes the answers are simple.
this right there.
And 'I'm a reporter'
In order for those places to not be unsafe and filled with crime, it has to stop
just like how a tumor is also a product of it's environment

I love how the guy thats being interviewed is honest about him being a gangster, sure he might have killed another rival gang for their friends and their turf but at the end of the day he understands that its a risk he's willing to take and if he gets arrested then he'll know his time is up.
Honest about it? I mean I guess, but there's nothing particularly admirable or praiseworthy about it though lol. He's just young and dumb and poor, and really caught up in a culture of senseless violence and brutish machismo. All of the comments here complementing this kid are kinda silly to me.

But yeah, not like is used to be with Slick Rick and shit.

People here should look into the griselda crew. OGs that have all dropped great, real hip hop albums in the last 6 months. Also pusha T dropped this week, people saying no real rap is coming out, tf you mean
It's all just flexing and fake BS nowadays. Dudes talking bout their hard upbringing without any elaboration then talking about how many hoes they fucked and how fast their Rolls Royce can go.
When "gangs" still had attitude, respect for each other and life in general. When hard drugs had not destroyed a generation either by addiction or corruption. When money was the big dream but not more important than family and friendship.
Apparently going about murdering other people is respecting life in general.
This was filmed in the height of the crack epidemic and the murder rate was three times higher than it is today
All the commentors be dissing today's youth and acting like they wasn't out there murdering people and wasting there life's
Props to them for being respectful and honest in the interview, but he litterly said "we in the gang to die" and then he explaied how its a never-ending circle of just bloodfued.
It's sad when you realize that all of these guys are probably dead or in prison now 😔
The real gangster is that reporter for walking up to these guys, out of his comfort zone, and in their neighborhood. Respect.
Are you new to the club, money got his ass on that street or they let him come in to bolster their reputations.

Personally I don't think it was his balls- I think it was the combination of reporter's naiveness, plus an advanced member of the news team asking permission to interview... maybe a little dough on the side, probably not though bloodz enjoy the airtime
Nah that's just your scared as$. Are you 10? A hardcore mf'er would of asked the real questions.
I think that is why they were cool with him because it seemed like he cared enough to find out why they were doing this, and he was not afraid to ask.
