It be the comedians that have the most pain and been through the most. I bet it actually makes you happy to make ppl laugh... much love from South Central LA...
everyone who comes from L.A has a bunch of crazy fun stories im from south L.A i can relate. grew up around gangs and taggers kicking it in the park smoking weed all deep tagging drinking 40z fighting getting expelled from school hanging out with the homies day and night. now that im older and i moved out from L.A my mind set changed and now i think more mature and left all that behind but it was fun while it lasted. no regrets
Thats whats up Erick, goes to show it is necessary to move out of environment to grow beyond. Ive met good ppl in ELA but there is still some narrow or ignorant opinions when they debate certain topics. It isnt their fault, its just that no one in their life did better than them to tell them to visit other states or countries to gather a different perspective how unlimited life potential can truly be. Not only seeing other places but meeting other people from other backgrounds. No matter where you go, your intellect or smarts will get you to be noticed or respected regardless of how you look or feel about yourself.
I was the few Koreans that grew with the Latinos in Echo Park before they made the park all nice and shit 🤣 I played football with this dude when I was in middleschool at vista hermosa Park he was cool Headhunters and Diamond st run the streets where me and him grew up they go crazy walkin the streets carrying aks and shit
@@kevinchung5288 it’s crazy I remember I used to live next to Westlake am not even lying when I am saying they more active over there then here in Florence they don’t give a shit over there I’ve seen people getting beat up drive-bys a whole lot of shit
Living in LA as middle/lower class is really underestimated, what most people consider crazy was normal to locals. I grew up in hollywood, went to John Marshall high…my school was filled with kids from Echopark, silverlake/frogtown, before those neighborhoods gentrified. gang culture was something everyone was exposed too, either you’re in it or knew someone that was. Regardless one thing everyone had in common regardless of affiliation was everyones parents/family’s came to this city to provide a better opportunity for either themselves/family’s. Fast forward to today I’m happy to see people who grew up in such conditions have been able to make something out of themselves. As an adult now looking back, I wouldn’t have changed anything. Those experiences taught us how to maneuver in a city with so many variables.
If he went through what he says he did I can only imagine what his mom went through working taking the bus not being able to speak the language I can only imagine her stories.
I relate so much ! With a drug addict father a warrior mother and living in LA! We sometimes forget that a lot of us lived this life. Props so every child that was able to do better even though we live in a tough area
I felt it when you said “you grow used to it” me growing up in a hood that’s like the realest shit ever cuz I was never punked by any of the homies much respect tho y’all
My dads the same way bro when i was 8 years old my dad taught me how to steal things and i look back now and fuck shit was fucked up and hes still on drugs and an alcoholic and my mom passed when i was 2 years old its all good though im grateful for what i have today love you life no matter what people 💯
Glad you making it out g I can relate to everything you went threw pri getting raised by a single mom all those struggles bro you make me cherish my family and my jefita more keep making us this sick ass content 💯 bro your a dope ass guy foo real shit I stay up north and it’s wild as well bro where I grew up
Aye that's some real shit dawg born 92 and back in the early 2000s homies were crazy but had a level of respect those of us who grew in it know what's up and have respect 💯 respect homie
🤣😭🤣😭🤣😭 being born in the 90s don't make it "growing up in it" you were max 10 by the end of the millennium what work did you put in. Hahaah fucking lame. 🤡
He’s right about that area having different hoods on every block. My mom grew up on Boylston and Temple in the seventies. It’s really never changed. She’s got war stories even from then.
Keep it up my boy I grew up in the park in the 90s when banging was crazy but just keep your head on your shoulders and try to elevate don’t get stuck in the same same shit trying to get out the hood ain’t a bad thing keep on hustling
I was boutta watch this tha same day this was uploaded but sumthin came up so I had to save it for watch later. I was goin thru tha watch later playlist and now I’m barely watching this. But serio DoKnow it’s all love I’m hella happy that ur succeeding and livin ur best life que dios te bendiga a usted y la familia I’ve been following u before u blew up and I’m glad I did follow u. Mucho gusto from Northern Califas‼️💯
Damn interested story . My story is similar to yours same hood but at the other side by Temple. I agree with how you explain how the hoods from back in the days respected those who never banged. If we would sit down and talk we might know the same people and have alot of good stories to share.
I grew up on 1355 W. Court st. Right underneath Douglas I got friends who went to Belmont, Michael Contreras and Roybal so we probably got same friends too.
@@kevinchung5288 did you know anyone from LMLS my cousin was from DS (black southsider) and would tell me stories about how his gf was in LMLS hood and how he never went anywhere in LA without a strap ages 15-20. he did some time and owns a trucking company now. He moved to NJ. There tags are everywhere in east hollywood near hoover but i never hear anyone talk about them
Gangbanging definitely didnt peak around 2005, if you were around in the early 90s through the 90s, that was definitely the peak. 2000s it was still around dudes were still active, but the 90s was a whole other level.
Im from LBC and shit was active like crazy in the 90s seen it all shootings stabbings beatings and i never got in to no gang but lessons learned are there so aint no punk only people i ride for is my loved ones
Every young adult that lived between 2000-2010 in LA lived a ghetto life , I lived in Hawthorne CA during the peak of gangbanging , Sureños , H-LWS , 135 Piru grew up in shooting and getting beat on a daily basis , saw my bro get stab shot and half alive die to gangbanging , life is better now but immature people dying of drugs before it was death due to gangs ... life ....
grew up the same way tagging tho drinking smoking fighting growing upin LA is full of adrenaline everyday makes you feel alive but by the time your 18!your good .. it gets old real quick. good too see he’s trying to do better things
Had to come watch this after hearing DoKnow talk about it on the End of The Day show very glad I did🤙🏽🤙🏽 slowly truly becoming a DoKnow AD & T rell fan
Hopefully you make even bigger I grew up around there was tough never got into that gang life but you need to be strong to make it out would go to the pool and what use to be the boys and girls club
The transformation is crazy man doknow bossed the fuck up mad respect n love showin out for the city always look forward to the chismé n at the end of the day keep the grind up foo💪💪💪
I grew up on Douglass up the hill. And you know the worst part was getting your car battery stolen and you know that fat ass car mechanic from the block bought them. If you know U know.
Lmao! I can relate! I know exactly what he’s talking about, not getting punked into a hood! I thought the same thing, I can go anywhere I want, you foos are limited! 🤣👍🏼✔️
Damm me n this foo have all kinds of stuff in common i guess that just life in LA that was a good story hee shoutout from east los keep doing your thing bigg dawgg
He literally grew up where the Diamond Headhunters and CAR well all fight for territory. I stayed in that area and it use to be super bad glad his made something out of himself!
I respect the hustle my guy. I just feel you try to put the block in a spot as if it’s that dangerous I grew on the top side of crown hill across the street from Belmont high school in the 90s when DIAs , rock woods,18st and KTOs would run the blocks it was all about politics in the hood,not like how this cat explains it. 90s LA was active with everyone around us. Mid 2006-present is dead.
