***** White gangs are weak. They're just racist gang
***** they are racist gangs, they are not street gangs who's goal is to hustle and make music. White gang's goal is to exterminate non-Whites
Oh, and I don't have first-hand knowledge. Im just a keyboard warrior and I admit it... Actually I hate gangs in general
***** Well I guess I don't. Oh well !
***** Calm down dude damn, breathe. I've already admit I'm just a keyboard warrior and I hate gangs.. So you know all about gangs - good for you
this is hilarious...didn't know being gangster is still in.
this foo has had it rough nd still keeps a smile hope life gives him good fortune
samething i was thinking. He seems like the type of guy to have a good time and drink haha
yes, this "foo" indeed
This “foo” he’s Asian I’m Mexican don’t try to be Mexican if ur not
Asians are cool in general. It’s just circumstances that they become this way. But damn they’re brave warriors.
@@singular9969 I'm Asian but grew up with the Mexicans
Vietnamese have one of the most hardcore cultures on earth. They fought against the Chinese for centuries and ended up victorious against one of the most feared Qing (Manchurian) Chinese generals/warlords in history---'Qianlong.' The Vietnamese are strong willed, strong minded and born warriors. Much respect from a Mexican.
Lunatic4Bizcas huh u bettah look up otha race history befo that's us spoken but that's gud
Lunatic4Bizcas Vietnamese are wannabe Chinese.
thanks bro respect for mexicans too
we have a lot in commons (aztec are from asia)
Lunatic4Bizcas STFU there you got your Attention
J.Lethal da fuq we not even chinese troi oi
Don't think that all us mexicans are racists Im mexican and i got love for my asian homies! Respect to lil man west, you can tell that he's been through alot of pain, my condolences go out to him!!!
***** what? I got love for every race black,white,Asian,Arabic. Fuck racism
***** Damn bro so you aint even from LA and you just go around these LA gang videos trying to find some racial tension lol? Wow no wonder you was so insistent on that shit.
Lol ok fair enough then. Theres definitely a lot more racial tension there than most any other place in the US. But even then I got mexican homebois from LA that got respect for blacks, it all depends on where you go.
***** Its deeper than that, a lot of it has to do with prison politics. Theres plenty of cities where mexicans are the majority where theres not a black/brown tension like that.
Marcel Parizal LOL
I'm Mexican and I respect this foo
Me too real talk g
Humble man , he never forgot where he came from and living in poverty, being shot and stabbed, going to jail, even being homeless and overcoming addiction. I liked the advice he gave in the end of the video that if you want something bad enough ; you can achieve it also how he said he's not there to bring people down , only to lift them up. I wish him all the success in the world
I'm Hispanic i respect this Asian Vato ✊
#Cali
simon same here... O*C
+Ghggg That's most be LA shit, down south we riding together. Money only got one color.
+Ghggg dude stop begging non blacks for friendship and acceptance! You see the Mexican dude respects the Asian. Here's a little secret you obviously don't know, black people don't have any friends. Non black people of color side with each other and whites.
+Meg62685 nobody is begging for acceptance and you're ignorant af if you think any race can't get along with the other. Blacks do and can make friends with anybody if they're not as ignorant as you.
X3 or nothing fuck all that
I'm from Long Beach and Asian gangs been around all my life and I'm 37...
O-Dogg
hahahahahah.. what you been smoking?
Foreal. I dare him call them Cambodians Peptos and see what happen. Those asian out in work.
lol roll through temple street and say they some pussy...
#seewhathappens
What about Sons of Samoa and shit like that.
they aren't asian
Man this dude is so humble. I notice a lot of Asian gangs are the same way too. Not loud mouths like you guys know what group. Not showing off because there's a camera. You can tell he been through a lot and that's great that he turned a negative into a positive. He speaks real shit. Respect and keep your head up. Everyday living 6 feet above ground is a good day.
Obummer BinLaden "like you guys know what group".... Really bruh!? If ur guna be racist, man up & say it. Show ur colors or don't say shit!
This is why White people can/will never understand why Minorities do & say the shit that we do. Have u ever thought that's the reason most of us are loud n colorful in the first place!?
#RealTalk #BigWhoopn
Junior Sanchez there is no nice way to be racist bruh! It's that simple... U shud Kno this
👌Big Whoopin 👌
Evol_AF speaking his truth doesn’t necessarily mean racist. What’s racist is black lives matter and fubu
ItsVersayce haha BLM & FuBu isn't racist. I think ura bit confused about what racism is. FuBu means "For Us By Us" which means For the Urban community, made by ppl in the ur an community, but idiot ppl took it the wrong way and fabricate lies about Black ppl making a clothing line only for other black ppl. It's a bunch of crap. Same goes for BLM.... BLM was founded by Black ppl trying to stand up for all the police brutality aimed towards black ppl. But again, it starts getting negative ppl talking negative about how it's a bunch of black ppl who think their lives matter more than others, when in reality it's the opposite and those 3 or 4 ppl who founded BLM tried bringing that to the world's attention, but all that happened is a bunch of idiots taking over and representing the movement in an idiotic manner. it's not racist to stand up for your ethnic background. what is racist is thinking that your race is superior to all other races
The blacks are the one that talks a lot
Alonzo,
one of the best interview in awesome collection. Please show more with Lil Man West and other VBZ or Asian gang members. You can feel his struggle and authenticity.
Thank you for posting a interview about a REAL G from the REAL OC, none of that sugar coated Laguna Beach MTV bull crap! It gets real in Central Orange County!
m Tee Real G from Orange County ha ha ha that was a joke right?
Daniel Gonzalez bahahaha Orange county cracking? Orange County isn't, and has never been a factor dreamer, OC are known wannabes, the gangs are 99% wannabes, real gangsters are from La, not the OC facts sorry you guys just don't have tough hoods like LA
18th street from LA tried to set up shop OC in garden grove/stanton and they got ran the fuck out by Crow Village and 2FS so one of LAs biggest baddest gang couldnt last in "rich" OC lol thats just one example but yea only real gangstas and hoods are in LA lmao turn off the TV and go outside. but since it seems like u get most your info from TV, you must've heard bout the 6 separate shootings in Santa Ana in less than 24 hours in 2017. When was the last time some gangsta shit happened like that in LA? its true most OC aint hood but the 714 area Stanton Garden Grove Anaheim and especially Santa Ana aint nuttin to fuck wit. I know you just wanna think OC aint hood cuz it makes you feel tougher that you from LA. Its not AS hood as LA cuz there's barely any blacks here but don't get it twisted.. aint no hood or outsiders gonna come to the cities I mention n think they just gon run shit.
bangin is played out... violent people end up behind bars or dead... true way to do it is to be self sufficient business man not gang banger
@@jamaljewell2450 why where u from ? I'm from Santa Ana homie. Come down and see whats up with us.
this guy seems really cool, thats real talk
This was a deep interview this dude speaking the true and I respect him
+Alvin Kaye thanks
im mexican but respect for that foo
fucc nortanos
Johny Wal fuck CRABS 🦀
Respect brotha! Shot at 14 on his birthday. Was a runaway.
Homeless for at least 2 years. Can’t judge a book by its cover or proverbial stereotypes. Has a great head on his shoulders. Hope he’s doing good!
"The whole ball game flipped once the first bullet flew" real
Most Gangsta Asian guy I've seen. Respect
Coolest interview I seen in a long time homie a real g for beating crack. I know that shit is a monster. Keep up the good work homie I'll definitely be checking for your music!!!
viets are the chillest people and they truly are hardcore AF and i am speaking from experience, they do not play around.
i'm mexican and several of my best friends are Vietnamese. i love Vietnamese people.
They got some bomb ass pussy too
Im Mexican and my best friend is Pinoy. I never felt any type of racism towards Asians or Blacks at all! I just got a little hate towards white people but because of what theyve done in History. But I got love for alot of white people especially if they show respect.
+ProducedBy ONE Dont lie Asians are pretty chill to be honest, whites and blacks have racist people and cool people. well mexicans aint perfect so yea
ProducedByONE , you have no clue till you hit jail or Prison . It's all about Race fool. Do yourself a favor and go straight. You have no clue. In prison the Mexican from Southern California are aligned with White Boys . Everyone else is the Main enemy. Period.
Peter Stiffinson and who are the Northern California Mexicans allied with?
@@lorenzo2534 you watch too many gang movies hahahahah
@@DUDEfreestyle , you kick it with too many PC's. That's all
Great interview. I'm from the area so I know exactly what this dude is talking about. I'm not a gang members but I definitely have a lot of friend who are in different GANGS, I even got Asian friends who are gang member. I live in a gang infested community. I actually got shot driving at ram about 5 months ago, thankfully none of the bullets hit me but goes to show how gang members spread fear into men, with the use of a weapon. Never anything wrong in my life and yo be shot at just because you're driving down a street at the wrong time sucks. I had to purchase a gun due to that incident. Now I'm trying to get all my permits to carry it around with me. I'm 25 years old too young to die.
This guy is pretty cool...everyone has a past...he moved on and learned to be a better man...could be a motivation speaker to youths if he want. Prop
This dude seem chill AF. I aint no gangster but got respect for this dude.. He seems legit. Somr of these other fools acting so hard
Mexican here shout out to all the Vietnamese them some dope chill folks
One of the best interviews I've seen - Respect for this dude ..... keep it tight homie, fuk da haters and the ignorance. There is more to life then this shit ..MORE! There is a whole world out there outside of that concrete land ya'll live in ..
I'm Mexican and I got much love for Asian homeboys doing their thing in the streets. I don't hate no race except white haha. I was raised in Santa Ana and people always think it ain't as bad as L.A but trust me when I say those people are the ones who didn't grow up in Santa Ana. I'm not saying the violence is something to be proud of but its just something you grow up realizing. And I ain't from no set cause I believe we all one big group. Shit I rep my city not a hood. Shoutout to all my S.A people!!
giovanir69 say dat to me u youtube ass nigga we un fuck wit u border hoppers out hea in chiraq us whiteboas put in work out hea shordty like gmebe bandz snowball fbg arealest alla dat u cornball fym u lookin to link am on 70th and perry ever in chiraq say dat to me see if i dont blow u up in TAY ON MY SONS youtube as nigga
+jojo world BDK fuck you cuz
shut up nobody cares about santa ana
Guapaa Oe haha fucking wigger
giovanir69 , you obviously never done Prison time among the homies. Do yourself ah favor and stay off the streets. The ideology in prison is always racial. You'll have no choice. Go to school n get a job , better off...
What learned from this video
1. Don't get into drugs
2. Believe in yourself
3. Gang life is no joke
Man cant believe how much of a shit hole wesminster/garden grove was back in the 90's. I remember these Asian cats used to roll around 4-5 cars deep loaded with pistols trying to catch somebody slippin. Went there back last year & shit has completely changed
I remember back in the late 90s early 2000s azn gangs were pretty active still in the brookhurst and garden grove blvd area and little saigon area
FuuuWhatYouThink i wouldn't know i was still in diapers lol now i patrol that area in my 96 Fleetwood
Harbor and Westminster blvd
For the better or worse ?
eSAIIDAY hey man I’m not sure if you’ll read this, but I’d thought you’d or people wondering about the area would like to know that the area nowadays is pretty safe. Still a few crimes like a rare robbery in my neighborhood, police killing a guy in a SUV, a Viet women getting ran over by some thugs from LA, and shooting in the parking of a CVS a year ago, but overall I think it’s super chill compared to the 90s or early mid 2000s. Even the alleyway near my house that got vandalized constantly hasn’t been touched in a decade, I’d say the only problem that still is bad or getting worse is homelessness.
Yo I love how with everything this dude has been through he finds a way to laugh at it... I love it. It's good to see he's able to make light of it.
Great interview!!! This young man is a inspiration to a lot of lost kids
I really liked this interview so much! He seems like the type of person you can talk to and chill with all day.
I am from the East side of Fullerton (not. FTT) I live in Las Vegas now, watching this video makes me miss home! 1503OC
Been a lilmanwest fan for a min now!
you a likable dude bro ! Best wishes from the east side of long beach bro !
We need an update video with this dude 2023
That was a powerful interview. I lived in Orange County for several years and at first when I moved to OC I thought it was just rich neighborhoods but they got a lot of hoods out there..
When everyone thinks about OC they think beach and rich people. But it’s made up of many different hoods with many different gangs. Santa Ana , Westminster, gardengrove, Anaheim, fountain valley. Buena Park. Stanton.
Some parts of Huntington Beach.
All these cities had some of the biggest gangs in OC. Asian white Mexican Samoan. Etc. ..
@@JK-ic1ot Back in 2005 somebody tried to steal my car in broad daylight in Fullerton. I was mad AF! I was very naive . I thought OC was nothing but rich people(boy was I wrong). My cousin stayed in the projects in Santa Ana. Dont remember what its called but it was off McFadden. That was a hood Ass area!
@@TheIntrovert83 i’m actually impressed that you commented six years ago and you just replied to mine :).
Yeah I guess like all places cities have their good and bad parts. Was in McFadden and Edinger?
Magic of RUclips. Making conversations happen 6 years apart. And you still have the same name
Haha you’re talking about Minnie street and standard those are the few projects in Santa Ana
A dogg I'm Mexican and if I seen a group of Mexicans hitting u up I'll get your back homie
One hundred bro . You real bro
Respect to this fool we grew up 3 streets away.
This guy is a Legend!
He can be a motivational speaker @ all California top University's.
Come to the central valley from Fresno to Sacramento and do interviews with Hmong, Mein, Laotion, Cambodian asian gangs over here, a lot of history! Good looking.
CAMMEDcivic no thank you!
They should
Got respect for dude.
Orange County! Respect to this guy
I live in Portland Oregon and I remember when I was younger, the V-Boys would come around our Sunday school trying to recruit young kids for their gang... I just graduated with my civil engineer degree last year, but I still wonder what career path being a V-boyz could have offered... hmmm
congrats on graduating, but it's different in Portland. Way more chill than that part of OC, don't get it twisted
PORTLANDDDDDD NIGA! SEATTTTTLLLLLEE SON!!! IDAHOOOOOO MOFO! COLORADOOOO DENVERRRR SON lool
@@karizmaone he's from OC
Max R yeah the dude being interviewed is from OC. The dude who posted the comment said he’s from Portland. So I told him Portland is not Santa Ana/Garden Grove.
Rip to Viet Boy Homie Lil Tom. Was killed in '97 in Westminster at a HS ditching party. Rip to the other 3 who died as well. RIP Tom (Buena Park). I didn't watch the vid yet, but if he was active in the early to mid 90s he would know about this incident. All 4 of the shooters were caught. Tom was the first one they hit up, as soon as he said VBs, he took a tech-9 to the chest died right there one other affiliate died in the backyard the other two ran as far as they could before collapsing and dying.
Tom was a good dude
A chicano gang from OC would be hella appreciated.. not to say this one wasn't.
This is the best interview ive seen in years vatoloco
I'm mexican from the Bay Area!! I'm one of the few mexicans that was banggin with Asians in NorCal n let me tell u boi! Them lil muths fukaz iz some killaz boi! Don't get it fucked up breh! Them lil niggaz is hittaz! Ain't know punks in my set!! OG 707 Vallejo Niggaz!!
Thats wassup.
tacos and rice go together so perfect fit
John kennely lmao I laughed at that one, but you still a racist
Chris Correa or working at a nail salon ...
i actually remmeber hearing about that vietnamese girl that died, i was a barber in santa ana at the time. very unfortunate for a pretty young lady.
dudes smart as fuck....has to be...just by the way he talks and how he grew up...smart dude to have his head on that good...but yea that's good shit..good to see that knowing where he came from and how he came from, to be able to hold an intelligent convo. smart.
Damn, the vibe from that dude was suuuuper positive that it made me want to be his homie hah. It's feels great to see others on up their shit when they come from situations like that. One of the best interviews I have seen on this channel.
Get another vid with this guy!
lets do it, be sure to watch new video on my other channel: ruclips.net/video/EEQg7c9HJYw/видео.html
orange county is so underground crazy
It’s true what he said about Asians, not all of us came up in a rich family, a lot of us came up in the hood or came up in a broken family, or struggle with addiction. I struggled with addiction for years since I was in freshman year in highschool. I got wrapped up in a lot of the same shit, and I can tell you what he is saying is str8 facts.
No b.s!lots of respect for someone keeping it 100,no trumping shit up.uplifting video with a positive message
That's was up g...I'm from Compton 310 east side Compton varrio 70 cv70s much love
Wassup with creeper from cv70s
I live basically where this guy did, and I’ve even competed against his school for Cross Country. I never knew how much my area was full of gangs and crime, and it’s crazy how different my life is from his even with me being Vietnamese. Wonder how many people at my school are in gangs lol
Your family being able to shield you from how most of viet kieus are is amazing. I'm glad they did well it sounds like.
That guy is cool I can tell.
Where my cambos at??
Andrew M 🤭
ian mexican i see wit my eyes wat there about and much respect to my asian people they go hard
The epitome of being asian and having gangster homies. Trouble just floats around.. it really ain’t even your beef.. you just be there at the wrong times
homies from V boys are the truth...real talk....
honest to god truth, to me, this dude sounds like a real smart dude... understands how to let shit go, understands that shit aint always to blame on other folk, but gotta live through it anyways, how he doesn't hate any other race, just what I got from his little convo with the camera man, makes me believe this dude is an intelligent human being. respect and hopes to this guy. plus that Mercedes hes sitting on... haha... hope its his lol
Props man, Props. Good message. Shoutouts too the Vietnamese and all the Asians.
this dude a real one... needed to hear some of the shit he said... much love and respect from NYC
Gangbanging doesn't do anything to help the yellow, brown or black communities.
bangin is played out... violent people end up behind bars or dead... true way to do it is to be self sufficient business man not gang banger
Thank you John madden.
Real gangster, been through alot of shit. Circumstances make you a g, now a days ppl join to be cool,dont even have to bang, ain't even active. Respect to him, keep moving.
why don't you ever interview Asian and hispanic gang members you have more blood and crip gang member interviews wtf lol I want to see some tortilla flats, Clanton etc.
Because Alonso from StreetGangs is incredibly biased
WiseUp89 oh ok lol
+Sheldon Cooper because most hispanic gang members wont do interviews or talk to people like alonso
Hispanic gangmembers can be punished by their own gangs for speaking on camera like this. They consider it snitching, or diverging information that can be used against them. Usually when you see Mexican gangmembers speaking on camera theyre retired O.G's who wont get dealt with because of their rank, or theyre dropouts who are no longer in the gang.
+WretchedDrummer that's tru they're real stick n organised
his music is deep! no joke, i just listened to a bunch of his songs and he's really good and lyrical, you can hear the pain and struggle in his music. Definitely just gained a fan. Look him up guys, lilmanwest!
Dude seems cool and not trying to act hard like other dudes. Gangstas laugh too!
Always come back to this vid from time to time for some inspiration keep dropping more music cuzzo 💪🏿💪🏿
Life is funny like that regardless of the situations we’re in positivity is what’s best for us all at the end of the day. Keep our hopes up in completely darkness sometime may bring us to brighter days.
In complete darkness i meant to say
That’s the universal laugh of an Asian gangster
Wonder how his doing now? Any updates on these people that you interview?
still rapping and doing his thing, looks like life is up for him , google his instagram lil man west
Boy this guy really has had it ruff hope everything works out for him I like his canter he is very honest in the interview
do more video of him!
where can i find his music?
every time this guy talks, I just want to take a breathe for him.
Ready for part 2 lol
Single-parent families man.....is fucked up and the real cause of so much violence. Glad this guy is doing better and spreading some positivity.
We been having beef with the vbz for over 10 years. Chinese and Vietnamese don’t get along. For all you youngsters out there it’s not worth joining a gang. I hope one day Asians can unite as one.
Never we out here gang banging fuck the rest !
@@thahbcity1514Shut the fuck up. It's sad you still have that mentality.
This guy is cool as hek. Glad he’s doing better. I work with lots of Vietnamese and I admire them. Disciplined, intelligent, educated, brave.
Father God in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ I pray for this young man, his soul, and his life, amen.
Love how keeps it real. Still able to maintain charisma for all the shit he been thru..💯
What’s up LilManWest. I never had an older bro but I feel like you are mine. I ride my bike around Westminster sometimes, so if I ever see you imma holler and ask for a picture for real.
Mad love to all who shows mad love for the humanity period
I honestly can relate to this guy. I got ran up on and robbed by two guys. I lost my gun rights and concealed weapons permit from shooting them and killing them from behind when they ran away with my wallet.
OrangeCounty92 did you do any jail time?
“Fuck; it was stupid right” if I had 10cents for every time I heard that 😂
homie seem real kool, peace bro
Bruh I see him in my family photo that’s crazy bruh like old old family photos of them throwing up VB when my older cousin was young
Didn't even know Orange County had gangs
na we dont have any gangs. we all live in mansions. paris hilton is my neighbor.
paperboi714 Come on bro you know what I mean LOL Its like that where I live its not really a hood but there's gangsters here as well from pasadena to altadena its just not viewed and turned up like south central, watts, compton etc and its probably the same for the ana's and the OC in general
Cristian Sanchez I agree its the same where I live
Cristian Sanchez In Altadena
Cristian Sanchez Its all good
good video this guy is smart living now keep it up stay positive
This dude a cool kat. big ups to you dude. tryna change your life and shiit!
Yea man. I'm broke af. My family broke af. We were n wouldve been rich,but my dad took everythin n faked my mum's signature at court n took everythin. She was too scared to fight 4 it cause he used to always bash her. We had 2 houses, was gona open a sewing factory n a restaurant too.

He even chopped off his wedding ring finger m kidnapped my lil sis. N then reversed into a cop n ran him over when they tried pull him over for it. Then when we got her back we went into the police station to hide from him. He ran up in the police station n took on all the cops there to try get to us. He got jumped n pummeled by em tho.

That was in Santa ana right by Minnie and edinger
I Respect little man, stay blessed I pray for a bright positive outcome for you!😀
Think 🤔 positive, live positive and Be Positive 👍
Hoping his music someday could raise awareness of these attacks that's been going on lately. Asian community gotta protect each other from these attackers hating on us.
Epitome of Humble
The way he got caught with the gun, thats stupidity mixed with bad luck lol
