Big Kountry of the Brims born Alvin Terrell Garret in Corpus Cristi, Texas in 1952, moved to South Los Angeles, Ca in 1969 and his neighborhood became known as the home of the Untouchable Brims. He moved to San Diego in the early 70s after his brother was murdered in 1972, and eventually made his way back to Corpus Cristi where he offered free martial Arts lessons to keep the kids from joining gangs. He died 2012 at the age of 60 years old.

I just want to thank you from my heart Big Kountry would love this I'm his lil cousin tbh I remember him giving me game & knowledge he wanted me to do a song with him my family is full of leaders it's about family & loyalty
@Brick City Eastside u don't have to hate lol plus I'm feature on a song called No Kappaz I speak facts or bet money
These spotlights on the Originals are 🔥, there are some quick gems in here too on gentrification, Blood Alliance, turf evolution, etc...short, sweet, and informative 👍
Man you are the ken burns of the hood, imagine what kev mac could do with a big budget and a staff!!!!! These short documentaries are 🔥🔥🔥
Wow, Kev Mac, I'm sitting at work and came across this. My heart started beating fast. It does that every time I hear their names and I actually don't know why. I was like where did you get those pictures from? Shucks I'm gonna have to screenshot them. And that's the wrong house on 58th Pl, that whole block is gone. The High school is there now. I think it's called Hawkins High or something. You can look out my mother's backdoor and see it from Hoover. Well, it was good and thanks for thinking about my BIL. BIG KOUNTRY FROM THE LA BRIMS REST IN PEACE. Now I see why you called.
@austintx1244, what's ups! I'm just seeing this. I'm sorry about your Dad, may your mind and heart be lifted in peace. 🙏
I'm from Skyline and I never knew how 5/9 Brim's started
I watched this like hundreds of times i just think about all the game he gave he never did drugs i miss my older cousin just Wish he was here to for this
Shoutout to Big Country and Lil Country we have the same hometown and a eerily similar life story. I being from Corpus Christi Texas also “Crooked Christi” is what I call it nowadays & I grew up on 65th Street between Budlong and Vermont. Which is the same street the Brims use to hangout on in the corner building. Awesome story Kev Mac
Crooked Christi?🤦🏾♂️
I bet you didn't know after Lil Kountry died few months later the family moved on Buglong (damn, I can't spell anymore) and Gage between 64th & Gage.
Great profile Kev , can't wait for the other Damu profiles. Great work your the master and thanks to S Mac . 🇮🇪

@@BigFlor3nce, I think I remember 3 boys and 2 girls. One brother was named Derrick and I think one of the sisters was named Michelle or Deedee. It's been so long ago. I know they had a very sweet mother. 💓 Tell them hello.
Wow Derrick that's my dad he passed 3 yrs ago 🙏 and my aunt Michelle I would love to send you some pictures... 📸 @ladylilkountry

Great Damu Gang History kev you the best in the business
Excellent video on the brims. This stuff is deep!

Keep up the good work
It Was Always A Bunch Of Brims In Juvie Had A Fight With Crazy B FTB In Central JH.
another great video
Great Video. The pic from 1974 could be of Graffiti from 1973 ? The history always intrigues me. Like you said in the live , we will probably never know when it happened for sure.
Kev Mac takeover! Respect OG 💯
MAC Heads And Maniacs Let's Get It!! 🔥🔥🔥💙✌🏽😎
Good shit🔥🔥🔥
Good profile! As a fan of martial arts this one piqued my interest.
Locc in with these and also don’t forget about membership content 💯💯💯💯
That’s wild how they had that graffiti like that I could imagine , picture really does say a thousand words
Thats the most formal graffiti i ever saw🤣🤣🤣
Good one
KMV for the win…
3:03 - Wow that's a cool photo taken of the wall. Those are the original anti-Crip [Blood] gangs. And yes, no mention of the word Blood
Early 💪🏽👍🏽✊🏽
This is def a hit. Its almost safe to say Bloods is a late 70s/80s thang.
Rip kuntry fredd and general rob lee
Rip lil and big kountry
Rip gangsta boo
Good story kev
I RESPECT HE LEFT IT SALUTE
That picture from 1974
Explains why BRIMS dont
Beef with other bloods/piru hoods
Brims are the core of the Blood Movement on the Street’s~
@@westside8514 its based on
Long standing friendships
And family Ties
7th degree WHITE belt sounds like an error lol Probably black belt. Black belt is the only (or at least first) belt with degrees in many systems of martial arts.. and white belt is the beginning. People would likely quit if they took 7 tests and were still a white belt (of any degree) 😭
I'm quite sure there's some footage of him from a news reel somewhere in corpus Christi.
KMV + inside the park home run, Kev.
Jimel Barnes is live on his channel right now. 😁
🔥 history
I'm in Corpus Christi, TX.. and went to Moody HS
This my cousin
Shout out to Corpus Christi, it's one of my favorite places to chill and visit. They got several projects throughout the inner city, its mostly a Hispanic community
Is now home to the Five Duce Gangsta "Crips".
Lil Kountry Name was ringing bells…cold crip killa’ funny how time and ppl changes territories and how things end up good Kev.
I’ve heard that hundred times but wasn’t many crips being killed before Lil Country was killed in 1972. Some people will say anything and hope you believe it and run and repeat it.
@@KevMacVideos ok Kev, lil kountry wasn’t no gunner right? Not what my fam on that end tell it but if you know better hey , I stand to be corrected😉
I saw on another video the Crips invaded his funeral and slapped his Mama. Lil Kountry was a cold CK.
@@OGTrollTroll8 What Crips Died between (1969 - 1972) ?
It’s been over two days and no one has answered what Crips was killed before Lil Kountry was killed.
I never said he wasn’t a shooter… he carried a gun to work and pulled out a gun when he was killed, but where are the funerals was the question??
Same happened to me when I moved to LA from Louisiana went to MLK elementary off Hobart and MLK in 1984. Where you from, why you sound like that. One guy decided to tease me the whole day calling me retarded and a clown because I sounded funny. In Louisiana one thing we did was fight. Got tired of it and picked up those wooden chairs and went across his head, I still remember that white teacher fear in her face screaming he crazy he crazy. Needless to say my first day of school I was suspended. Came back the next week to much respect and friendly faces. And was promptly introduced to gang culture.

What city in Louisiana? Thats where Im from
@@bigcartoonyIIV Tallulah Louisiana..
Yeah y’all cats from Lousiana won’t hesitate to knuckle up.
@@SHAYDEE3 cool new orleans here
KM Big Kuntry and LIL Kuntry cousin live in AG robin Garrett we had much love for them Rip
Yeah I know Lady Lil Kountry mentioned that in her full interview She said they had a lot of family from Texas out here.
I been looking for my homie Tidy T from 5/9
When y'all sleeping Kev working
Never mind i heard rest of it
I'd like to see Elgin back on the platform. He seemed to have a lot of knowledge...
Hoover Crips🔥
What about Ernie Hicks he had his own song like Do Might on western and 65th R Toc what up Like Bro
Great stuff as always Kev Mac! Where did you find that 1974 tag? That shit is classic! 💯
There’s a book titled Wall Bangin’
@@KevMacVideos I have to give you your propers. Your a true Gang Historian
@Byron it’s crazy how a lot of people can’t see or respect the time and research we put in to get the history as close as we can to the facts. They’ll just start a debate or disagree because someone told them a lie and they believed it.
If I wasn’t there, and you wasn’t there, I’m going to go with our research over some clown on the internet saying his OG’s told him. 😅
So thank you for your comment.
I'm curious about why I never hear anything about the Swans, Circle City or the Haciendas.
E/S Pain Ghost town,135, APG CPB, Waterfront, Wsp Barson, Rollin 30 BSP, weirdos, Miller Gangsters ,Skottpark,w/s cedar, and kountless others need flowers too
I believe Big Kuntry brought the Blood identity to San Diego around 1973
Him or Jonathan George who was in cya running with AC
@@james198020 Well that would be before the Blood identity in YTS. This would be the street version of how anti crips came together due to the war of 1972.
@@nofacenokase4416 Blood is an alliance.And Brims were already Crip killers and wearing Red before Westside Piru or YTS. BPS and BloodStone Villains were already under the Anti Crip alliance with the Brims in 72
@@mercedes-benz7852 No they weren’t…..Brims wore blue at first…..
@@fakenews6142 They stopped wearing Blue in 72 so that would give them traction to wear the Red bandana from late 72 to early 73 at the latest’

Wow BloodStone Brims in 1973 ~
This has gotta confirm the Blood identity already taking place before YTS
74
@@KevMacVideos ask elgin for krazy dogg # he wanna get on with u. I got it but dnt know how to giv it to u. He wanna talk wit u and cutes
@@KevMacVideos 74 is still great confirmation because the Blood Identity in YTS didn’t hit the street’s until 1976
Bloodstone is/was a musical group first. That’s where BSV and BSP get their Blood Stone from but one group is Villains and the other Piru’s.
We had BloodStone Brims started 73-74'. Ralph Kelly RIP
On that wall it does say A.P.B which clearly says bloods and affiliates which are mentioned
No it was Athens Park Boys back then. And some sets aren’t in the picture but was also written on the wall.
Cmon u gotta know ya history they were Anthems Park Boys

Brim alliance ~
They’re the Godfathers of the Blood unification
GOOD STUFF KEV MAC HOW I GET ONE OF THOSE KEV MAC SHIRTS?
So he quit banging after his brother died I wonder if his peers looked dwn on tht choice. Bcuz now in days yu get smut put on yu and talked dwn upon for doing tht. Bt much respect to Alvin Garrett
It was probably because he was 19 at the time but he didn't let go until after he left San Diego and returned to Texas. So that's not a true statement. He had no need to bang in CC and hopefully by then he realized that it was a no win situation for anyone.
He didn't stop banging after lil kountry died he relocated to dego and brought 59 there.
The Garrett's didn't leave LA until maybe 5 years after Lil Kountry's death.
Rip OG Big Kountry that Brazy Hat 59 Harvard Brim Salute you tho
That's how they got to SD.
Nice history.. I got family from 5/9 brims San Diego
I'm black from a Mexican barrio here in San Diego

Lomita village 70s
Juniors
I'm curious to know... How did you end up reppin Lomita Village versus EastSide Piru aka Skyline Piru?
Race traitor
I noticed no Pirus on the wall and if there weren't bloods in 74 what does the APB stand for on the wall then. I never known Athens park to be brims but I heard they gave it up to the brims big time in the beginning, them And Denver lanes, Elgin said his brother Carl was instrumental in bringing those 2 gangs up under the anti crip alliance
That's because Piru is a Compton gang. He listed all of the sets that were allied with the BPS. I'm sure that APB, Bounty Hunters, Denver Lanes and the IFGB all knew one another. Notice the Bishops, Villains, Outlaws, and the Swans and other Eastside sets aren't mentioned.
Athens Park Boys
@@joemosely9383 how did I not figure that out forgive me bro
@@ratswagger i noticed that but Bounty Hunnas is ES tho
@@dscgodflow6663 They was most definitely Blood's in 1973.Brims just didn't change they name to Blood's. What made them Blood's was being the head of the Anti Crip alliance on the Streets under the Red bandana.
Kev i think you meant 7 degree Black.belt not white belt 😂
Maybe that’s what the article meant cause I said what I seen.
He wears a black belt in the pictures
@@space_dogg yeah that could been years later when he got it .. Because after he said 7th degree white belt .. He said he study other different styles .. Thats what confused me you can have more then one rank in different styles of martial arts
3:02-3:31 9cness🔥🔥🔥
With my father Basketballing with all them I was a Baby attending Budlong Wadsworth LaSalle Aced each of them
Something about the rhythm....
Did the Hoovers go to war with the Brims to take their former territory?
Is this mob Jones brother 🤔
🫡💯😎
7th Degree White belt???
Founder of Froot Town Brims is from Fruit Town Piru
Do we have any proof of this?
Fruit Town Piru member moved to L.A and they put him under they wing. That's how they came together. He's not the founder of Fruit Town Brim but I get what you're saying .
@@mercedes-benz7852 i agree ur comment adds to the story i been hearing since I indulge in this gang bangin shit, but to add to story because i know it will be ask , Froot Town Brims didn’t become Piru because back then LA Anti-crips were per dominantly Brims .
@@harposjukejoint5896 that's true..
If this is true why are OG Fruit Town Brims in the comment section saying otherwise? Why is one saying he grew up with Davy and he didn’t live in Compton. That area actually had its own Fruit Trees. Be open to new information over internet information.
Why wasn't the bishops on the wall
Could have been more writing
The brims was far west from us....we didn't no them....at that time.
@@kingRey567 much respect
@@kingRey567 Yea but the Athens Park and Bounty Hunter was on the Wall
That may have well been the 5 original Blood gangs on that wall far as the street’s go*
@@westside8514 we often wrote Our allies names on the wall if you would have come in Bishop Hood in those days you may have seen Outlaws Pirus bounty hunters....on the wall. Remember little Cesar said his hood became bloods in 74..of courting to those after me bishops became bloods in 79 or 80....I don't know...that writing only means we had our on identity...
Wh59p!
