    Kilo G aka Poppa G l must tell you that l had this video on and my younger cousin watched this video with me. He said you are his favorite guest on KMV and he loves the fight at the movie theater in Long Beach. Classic stuff and how can you not love the Black Leave it to Beaver and the best part for me?
    Billy Jack, just because l remember it as a kid.
    "Now l'm gonna take my right foot & kick you on the left side of your head & there's nothing you can do about it"!!!
    Great video and Season 2 is winding down strong and another fantastic year on KMV.
    Thank you OG Poppa G and KMV, Melle Mel aka The Professor, Baby S Mac and Big Kev Mac!!!
    Peace!!!

Before the interview, the OGs ,who are still alive, advised me not to tell our story. However, I was compelled not to let our history be lost. My account is but one of many accounts of "The US Boys".

    You'd have to know that coming from 24th & Main to 135th & Central, was definitely "movin on up." That area around Centennial High, Dooto's, and Sportsman Bowl, was considered the suburbs, and was a very nice area for a long time. My cousins stayed on 139th & Central, right across from the Brickyard. A lot of Blacks in that area had good jobs and careers. Most worked for the aircraft companies such as Northrop, Hughes, North American, and McDonnell Douglas 😺

    I always thought fruit town was named after all those fruit streets in that particular neighborhood, north of Rosecrans, like Cherry st, Plum st, Peach st, Pear st, and many more fruit streets north of Rosecrans. Also, I thought Tree Top was named after all the tree streets south of Rosecrans, like Spruce st (spruce tree), Maple st (maple tree), Cedar st (cedar tree), Elm st, Poplar st, and Arbutus st are also names of trees. Spook town for having the darkest streets with the fewest street lamps, and before them, was the Ghost Town Grandees (Nutty Blocc) which gave birth to Spook Town and all the Crips in Compton besides Carver Park and Mona Park.

    • @kidkully
      @kidkully 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      William Duren are you sure about spooktown being named for being dark and “spooky”?? Because I heard the neighborhood around them was originally called “spooktown” by the racist whites at that time and the Crips took it and ran with it....someone told me this, but I dunno.
      “spook” is an old school derogatory word for blacks!

    • @williamduren215
      @williamduren215 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      @@kidkully I'm nowhere near sure. That's what I heard. If anybody got some real facts on that, let me know. I will ask my cousin-in-law Roscoe from the Grandees tomorrow. He was the first Crip in Spook Town hood, and he said his little brother started Spook Town while he was in YTS. Roscoe left around 1973 or 74, and did about 4 years. He said when he came home, his little brother Cartoon had already started Spook Town, which was US boys and red rag territory when he lived there. Big Hauncho said Roscoe and Cartoon started Spook Town. They've been my in-laws for decades, and I talk to Roscoe almost every day, but I don't know his brother Cartoon. He never came around. I've never spoke to him. I saw him way on the other side of El Dorado park at my in-laws big ass family reuinion, but neither one of us bothered to introduce ourselves. Maybe cuz I'm from Nutty Blocc.

      William Duren can you also ask him about an og named big jacc from the grandees? If he knew him as well? I think what I just said about spooktown might be true...do you notice spooktowns rags are brown? Maybe to represent black skin color? 🤷🏽‍♂️

    • @williamduren215
      @williamduren215 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@kidkully I'll ask. I've heard that name in conversations before. I'm sure it ain't the homie Michael Jackson from the Grandees. He was goin by name Jacc, but not Big Jacc. Also, I know what the derogatory term "spook" means. I got homeboys from my hood (Nutty Blocc) named Big Spook, Lil Spook 1, 2, and 3. Never asked the origin, I just know it's a popular gang name. As for the colors, I always heard the spook towns say, "spook town brown," and the tragniews would say, "powder blue tragniew." I used to sell dope on the Willowbrook traccs in spook town hood with Winky R.I.P. from over there before my hood started beefin' with theirs. I personally gave my hood the color gray in 1987, the next day after the CC Rider meeting. We adopted the New York Yankee symbol that same day too. When I said we gon wear gray, I had already bought a gray rag and put it on my head. We agreed that we need a team, and Lil Woody said, "look cuz, we all got on the same Yankee hats - Young Nutties." We looked, and saw we had it on by coincidence, but the N, the Y, and the blue and gray color was perfect for us.
