Original Van Ness Boy, which turf would become Van Ness Gangsta Brims in coming years, sits down with Kev Mac Videos. S Mac and Kev Mac hits him with history questions and lessons for our regular viewers and people searching for a good hood book with legendary street names.
At seventeen, Michael would meet Thomas "Tootie" Reese, the Godfather of black drug kingpins, and was impressed with his tremendous wealth. After he became a member of Tootie's organization, Michael would have all the money that he had ever dreamed of. But the death of his best friend, Raul, to gang violence, changed the course of his life. He was plotting the murder of Raul's killer when the government took his freedom.
In prison, education changed Michael's life. He began to understand how his actions and the actions of those he knew and associated with were destroying black neighborhoods, and he became a social activist. His desires changed from wanting to be wealthy by any means necessary to wanting to save underserved neighborhoods from self-destructing, and to help young men and women convert their misguided street ambition into entrepreneurship.

VNG / The most active Small set from tha Damu car …
Just watched that OG MJ interview again, it’s was fire bro. Great to see you still giving us this amazing content, you’re really the king of these platforms. I try to check out some other platforms, it just doesn’t do it for homeboy. Much respect!
Bro was definitely a fighter amongst a lot of crips. Salute to his man a real stand up guy!👌🏿🔥
Lets gooooo after a great series i know this one is going to be dope as well, Salute Kev.
The return of S Mac
Another dope interview 🙌🏾
Another dope interviews Kev Mac. Can't wait see see the rest. Good looking out for these interviews. Keep doing your thing homie.
Damn time flies I remember the phone company his mom worked for in the 90’s before it became AT&T
That beat was jamming
Micheal jourdain good to see and hear this interview.I’m son of Steve Woods y’all grew up together on 5th ave with all my uncles . WoodsGang
Fantastic W/S History from a general.MJVB
Salute OOG Michael Jourdain!
great job kev and i can't lie i haven't even seen the rest of OG interview but I can say now this is not arguely one of the best videos you have put out about blood member but I can strongly say that this may be one of the best videos on your entire page. i'm happy that you're interviewing Big Blewett and I'm even more astonish with the information that he comes with in the way he resize it which seems like bombshell History from a guy that was there that was fully involved and actually can speak at a nice tone clearly incorrectly! love g
OOOG with the adidas fitted like a real hustla and playa!
True to the game.
Louisiana gotta another 1 💪🏽
I just called a few Elders that lived on 6th ave and asked if they remembered Michael Jourdain and they all said the same thing the exact same way, "I remember that little bad azz N**#$! He was so bad" lol... All this is 100 Accurate Family members and everything. His sister kicked it with my cousin. I remember Fred & Bill Hill. Wow!
Oh you thought we didn’t know where he lived and about the Hill’s? Lol we definitely would have been like, “you lived where?”, “next to who?”, “when was this?” 😎
I grew up on 5th Ave between 60th and 62nd in the 90s great memories as a child and teen on the 6th Ave and 60th photo across from the red looking house a older Vietnamese couple lived an white house they hardly ever came out and the house looked abandoned but they were there and he's speaking facts about van Ness park being the only pool in the neighborhood use to be fun
Kev been gettn that Damu love lately i see you boy!
I’m glad S Mac touched on the “Passé Blac” history of South West Louisiana 🔥
When someone tells me they are Creole. I try to figure out if they are culturally Creole or if their dna reflects African, French, Spanish (Spain), Native, and sometimes Filipino and/or Haitian blood. Alot of people think their lightskin or mullatto ancestors were Creole.
@@Miss702Awakening 👌🏾💯
@@larose6551 💙
_Miss_702_ I definitely understand. I always try to figure out what area of the world they come from. If I’m talking to someone from southern Louisiana or the Caribbean Creole is someone mixed with African, European and Native American. However, if they are from Haiti I know Creole means a freed slave. Then Creole could mean two languages blended together. It definitely can get complicated.
@@Miss702Awakening if they’re from Southeast Louisiana there’s a high chance that they are
Hell yeah this going to be good can’t wait for the restv
Good interview Kev Mac & S Mac
Now we need a video of the rollin 50 brims and then another video between the van ness gangsters and Rollin 50 Brims leading up to the merger between the two becoming one.
I hear different versions of RFB.
The most talk about one is Lee Bee from DLB starting RFB on 9th Ave. RFB being some kind of umbrella set having VN DL BH & BPS under it... D-Mack from BH comes to mind.
Then there is another version on an R50s in VN hood which was nothing but VNs on 54 & St.Andrews/Manhattan Area....
Lee Bee is home when he was locked up he was down to do the interview. Haven’t heard from him to see if he will still do it.
@@KevMacVideos Lee Bee is the #1 RFB but the ones who started RFB was Lee Bee and M Bone. They were looked at as founders. M Bone's little brother Big Reese Dawg (50s.I.P), Nuttyboi aka Father of the 50s, Sam and Big S. Hill Will (Big Sugarhill Will) were a few years younger and were looked at as co-founders. I'm not from LA but I'm RFB out of town. Last year Lee Bee called my phone and we spoke about RFB forming up. RFBxDLB=50LANES...I met Nuttyboi before he got locked up and I'm in constant communication with him. Nutty just wrote me a few weeks ago. If you want to know the history of RFB get in touch with the names I mentioned. Plus since this is about the history of the 50s ask around about the 50s FTB started by Gary Zeigler(R.I.P). Vardry Zeigler (last time I spoke to him he was in Lawrenceville, GA) was next in line. Vardry told about 2 years ago that a Brim named Moneytree was the bridge between 30s FTB and 50s FTB. 50s FTB was so small they didn't even have there own hood. They mixed in with VNG/RFB. Type in Vardry Zeigler on Facebook. He's on there.
@50th Anniversary u right in 74' Manual Brims faded they became 30 ftb Brims, some went too Untouchable and And, Katnip started 40ftb, RFB . Those 54 Baby Gladiators turn RFB. Shit ,even had 59 ftb.
SALUTE TO YOU BOTH
Way to start it off with that map KMV. "It would be ludicrous to think that we are new to this, we do this, this is what we do. It would be absurd to think you never heard of this...." GC & P Funk All Stars
Pacific Bell he is taking me back!
HE'S TALKING ABOUT DARK SKIN OG KEITH STONE, NOT THE GREEN EYE STONE
I can tell S Mac used to press niggas hard in streets because his interview skills is on journalist level 🤣
Rs thought the same
Facts!
Tookie talks about him rolling with Donald Ray with him into Compton to fight Pirus, so it would good to be hear about his stories about Tookie
Donald Ray a legend
Shiiiii I can dig this bakk 2 bakk! KMV I ain't mad at you! Do tha damn thang!
A note for a pack of cigarettes. I'm 42 and remember buying packs of Kool Filter Kings for my uncle when I was 6 or 7. Boy the truth will make you laugh!
Great interview once again Big Kev
Great interview 🙏🏾 he was very articulate.
Hustler to the CORE....Need more stories on how L A gang bangers leveled up to become High Rollers in the Dope Game during the Crack Era
Good work KMV. It aways amazed me that the 60s and VNG never really had hatred for each other.
@@ccryptotrapper6128 Seems like most of them went to elementary together and live so close had to be some mutual respect there
He did... a few months back, it was an 80s segment that week if I recall, I smoke a lot of CBD 😄😄
A lot of Cali folks have New Orleans and Louisiana roots. The Passé blanc that he talking about are probably from the 6,7 and 8th wards. Big Cat is a Doucette his family probably from that area too.
Ok what's your point?
@@toreano3160 commenting on what the brother was talking about. Was I not supposed to ?
Did check dude on making it a point to bring up his family history first ?
Did you check dude on making it a point to bring up his family history before you asked me ?

Bone out is a official L.A word that's how you know when somebody officially from south central L.A

Monster the only mf that could make that situation funny lol
Which1 monster said that in homie
@@carlwhite8165 One of the kev macs where cutes was sitting next to monster before rocc head came
Fred Hill still alive?
I need to get a track suit like that.
Adidas track suit are coming back in style, the Hip Hop group who popularized Adidas gear was Run-D.M.C. from Hollis, Queens New York in the mid 1980's everybody wanted to dress like Run-D.M.C. in different parts in America if you were a Hardcore Hip Hop head.
Had to catch up on the rewind bad week but good content
This man proud of everything except black
I bet his drivers license/birth certificate says Black.
Why u say that
Another solid interview
Hood Historians, The Macs -
How did the Van Ness gangster brims survive all these years and being surrounded by some of the most biggest crips hoods in LA I
Crip on crip wars pretty much have a lot of damu sets breathing space.
They were not no punk's or pussyboys
@Ismail Williams Thats not true. Too be honest it is frightening. It is because that little small group did a great deal of killing and their reputation was exactly that. Ask any older Crip and they will tell you the same.
At 15:21 nigga look like Kevin Heart Grandpa👴🤣
As Creole myself I can relate to alot of what he said.
Alot of people from Louisiana moved to LA in the 1940’s and 50’s….
Kev Mack back hit us with a banger StreetTv take a 5yrs for a 3 part interview/ but you still fuck up da intro homie S Mack might be to blame tho 😂/
🔥 as always kev!
This history goes on twist and turns everytime
Michael Beans was a original van ness boy too
Fred Hill was snoop he fucked up my man monster kody good shirt. I hate when that shit happens
VNG aint no stoppin em 🎶
Another legend with south roots it’s crazy them youngster don’t respect it lol
I be in Hawthorne to 107 Normandie and Western…this shit lit
Way to make a change
"It wasn't really clear" lol
Wondering is he gon talk about the rollin 50 brim x Vng
It's a trip how the non crips always say they were cribs but one of the crips A.c said it was never cribs I have never heard cutes say they were cribs I would only like to hear it from of the original crips
Also if they were cribs why is the acronym meaning totally different the acronym meaning is community revolution in progress so bloods probably thought it was cribs but not really knowing just hear say the Hollywood palladium murder happened on march 23 1972 so they basically saying crips started march 1972
Go back and listen to the Tony Stacy interview because he also stated they where Cribs. You don't think because of how big the L.A landscape is it's possible it was baby Crips and baby Cribs?
@@1judauhn tony Stacey is 5 years younger than Raymond Washington so maybe they called they self's cribs but it has always been crips
AC also said the way they spoke and yelled Criiiiiiip it sounded like Crib and could be a reason for the term Crib. So it’s possible people did adapt the baby crib term like Jimel Barnes also says.
Magnolia! !!!!!! Booker T. Washington high school uptown
THE RAYMOND DAVIS HE TALKS ABOUT IS LIL CASPER FROM R60S DAD.
That's crazy. The VNGs got the blame for his death in 86.
@@joemosely9383 you related to Larry?
That means Raymond Davis is Boss Hogg ( Hoggy) Grandfather.
Boss Hogg is one of Nipsey's Partner.
@@larenzowesley30 No. Who is Larry ?
@@joemosely9383 EXACTLY!😎
There's a lot of gambling going on the Van Ness Park to back in them days a lot
730pm EST I hope 😔
Mike I heard of you and I swear you probably know my pops Michael white off haas Ave
Should bought it too KevMac boy gon do it much better MC Ehit voice 💥💥💥💥💥💥🔫
What the hell is "cat walk crips"???never heard of that set...... Shown at 0:04
They were small and ended up in 40s hood but they were active early 80s to mid 90s
Thanks
This is how you do a interview!!!! Al take notes!!! Not for nothing
Why these fools go anywhere else this momma cooking over here fool💥💥💥💥💥💥🔫
I'm thinking people were uneducated on the "cribs"thing like AC said. Especially after that news article misprinted it.
If I remember correctly we found two articles before the misprint so even that tale about the newspaper is mythical as far I my research goes if I remember correctly.
@@KevMacVideos I think you're correct Kev. I just be in awe when it's brought up because, I respectfully feel like if it was a thing, more people will be saying it too. The majority from what i see, say "CRIPS". I don't think it will be any shame especially how we've heard others switch sets, We've heard sets change their name, and we've heard people switch colors.
Go back and watch 1972… if you don’t have time then skip to the 7:00 mark.
ruclips.net/video/hzv4EUiN_BE/видео.html
@@KevMacVideos Bet! Thanks bro...
Cool first half of the interview! Who/what influenced the name of the term Crips? Through documentaries it's been stated it was the media? Was it the media? Or was it more so of a local term that was already established?
Definitely wasn’t the media. That’s what spawned our passion to research these European myths published in literature to shape the minds of our people. It’s similar to slavery where they stripped us of our language and names so we wouldn’t know our family history.
@@KevMacVideos I hear you! From what was discovered was the term Crip a term used by local brothas and sistas because they would carry canes? Or is that another myth as well?
My opinion, not fact based, just a guess, the canes came after the term Crips was founded. Just like the earrings, ballheads, and everything else that became attached to the aura of the Crips attire. Of course, canes made for a hood weapon to carry because it wasn’t illegal.
@@KevMacVideos right right! I appreciate the response, understanding, & clarification thanks bro!
Craig Munson called Raymond Washington a crip bc he had a cripple walk and Raymond said that’s what I’m going to name my gang go watch the kev mac interview with him
New Orleans again
I wonder if his parents are from the 7th ward in New Orleans. The last name sounds familiar
Bro i get so sick of the More Bounce beat , got damn yall wear that shit out
Crazy
