1978 SPECIAL REPORT: "EAST L.A. GANGS"
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- East Los Angeles gangs have for the longest consisted of gangs like White Fence, located around Whittier Boulevard, Primera Flats, who once occupied the Aliso Village housing project, or the many MaraVilla gangs, which was named after a neighborhood in East L.A. and are not aligned with the Surenos or Mexican Mafia, all being some of the oldest and largest gangs of East Los Angeles.
Whether its gangs along Olympic Street like Varrio Nuevo Estrada of the Estrada Courts or the sets of 1st Street expanding from Cuatro Flats to the Evergreen neighborhood just about every section of East L.A. is claimed by a Sureno gang.
North of Interstate 10, which expands well into Northeast Los Angeles as far as Atwater Village, is another section that could be considered as an extension of East L.A. with the likes of the historic Lincoln Heights neighborhood or housing complexes like William Mead or Romona Gardens.
Within this section of Los Angeles are the locations of some of the city’s largest and most reputable gangs like Big Hazard and some of the city’s oldest gangs like Toonerville or the Avenues, amongst others.
Some of the East Los Angeles gangs have been around since the 1930s, while some others were established later during the 1970 and 1980s as some have had generations of family members to be part and affiliated of a specific gang.

This was back when Geraldo was an actual journalist and not a corporate media hack.
Just was going to post the same!
Before he gave away the militarily info by drawing in the sand
Lol i just saw an old Geraldo interviewing the Hells Angles . He almost got his butt kicked twice. Once he was filming them in the street w W/out permission and again in the studio. With stupid questions and just not respecting them 😅😃🤣😂😎👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@RicArmstrong is that the time he was hit with a chair and broke his nose on TV ?

I believe so.
One of the officers questioning the guy by the payphone is Gil Carrillo, he became a detective and helped catch the “Night Stalker” crazy.
I caught that one too..
He does a podcast wt George Lopez
Yes he did very good detective ... He also came out in some episodes of the first 48 .. Good catch 👍🏼👍🏼 have a nice day 👍🏼
The public caught the night stalker
Do your homework.
@@ruthless12street correct
Imagine going back in time and showing these guys how kids from the same neighborhood talk saying the N word freely and wearing skinny jeans. They would lose their minds
They would look at you like you were crazy.
@ Todays generation is corny and tame
they would say the looks and sounds cool and join the fun.🤷
Sad to say but it’s not about the culture anymore that was back then the
@ " they was corny "
Clearly you aren't Raza and have zero sense of our cultural understanding.
Stay in your lane and stay out of ours chavala. Puro Brown Pride ✋🏼✋🏽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Our parents and grandparents came to America is search of opportunity, liberty and a chance to make it. But instead, a lot of Chicanos fell way short of that. You owe your hard working parents more than you have given them. Put down the beer and drugs and educate yourself as best you can.
america is currently collapsing economically culturally poverty homelessness
It’s because Hispanic parents let their kids do whatever they and let them become cholos. All the moms want to do is make their cholo sons are eating enough 😂and in the black community, none of the dads stick around to raise their kids so they turn to the streets and gang-bangin as well. It’s not the kids, it’s the parents. The KIDS deserve more than what the parents gave them
The people in this video from 1978 are the grandparents now
@@JJJ_JJ1 yup
@@JJJ_JJ1 Most of them are probably dead by now. I was 12 years old back in 1978, I’m now a grandparent.
In the beginning your video is showing where I grew up in Estrada courts we called it Vne I was a gang member back in the 1970s good time's and bad . but East La . will always be home in my heart.23 years of my first life. Now I live a native American life why because I have land and family on the reservation.i am a proud American Indian.and proud of where I grew up. thanks for the memories.

Crazy all these people are in their 50s, 60s, 70s or dead. The little kids are probably in their mid to late 40s. Would be cool to track them down and see how it all ended up
I'm 59 yrs I grew up in El Monte CA I seen it all . It was bad in the 70s , real bad . I'm in Phoenix now living my life and a christiano serving the Lord but I know alot of vatos weren't so lucky . Many people from L.A. live here in PHX
I'm fifty-nine years old and grew up in El Monte, Medina Court area.
I knew a handful from Califas that came to New Mexico because there was no three strike law here at that time. I guess how they all ended up was based on the choices they made like the rest of us🙏🙏🙏505NUEVO

It ended how the rich white people wanted it to end .... My people entrenched in endless gang killings / death from drugs / war / tunnel vision / Jail prison
You know the train station in LA was once a place where they keep native Americans they were called gabalinos tagva from the San Gabriel mission back in the late 18oos. To beginning of the 1900 my grandmother grave is at the San Gabriel mission she died In 2012 one day before she turned. 102 years old a proud American Indian woman who lived all her life in East Los .
So she was a native to the land?
@@d.will9359 yes derreon her picture is on the wall at USC they have a building. dedaced to the first settlers of california.in each raises she is the only picture that they pick to represent native American Indian woman it was great to be there as a grandson.my grandfather was allso American Indian as well.

This was years before MS 13 showed presence in the barrio’s of L.A , before saggers, shaved heads, Chicano Rapp music and the color blue came on to the scene and changed or “ruined” the Chicano culture in all of East L.A. but all of Southern Califas!

What a trip, going back in time. This is where I grew up, playing baseball, football and basketball at Belvedere Park. Playing for Maravilla Huskies for coach John Aguire. Proud to be raised in E. Los Angeles!! I recognize a few of the youngsters....you had to be there to understand. Great video 💯
Early in this video they show a street sign, McDonnell Ave. i had to look it up because it looked so familiar. Now I know why, my Grandmother lived on the 500 block of Hoefner, just over 1 mile east. I lived there for awhile as well. It really was a good neighborhood, probably a little better than that area where they did this video. But you never know, maybe the next street over from Hoefner there probably was some stuff going on once in awhile. Of course grandparents did not drive, so we always went over to their house for all family dinners. Other family in Monterey Park, which has really changed. Great grandmother lived in a little apartment on Beverly. She never did learn English! This video was 1978, I was 22 years old, I guess same age as some of these guys. Like you said, going back in time!!
Wow! We all were waiting to hear from you. I mean this vid is about you right????
I wonder how many of those kids ended up being in the 1980s gangs anyway😢
🤔my estimation says only HALF wound up there, yes..
Probably all
21 yr olds looked 40 back then. Damn smh. I wonder where they’re now?
@lord havmercy Or deceased
Or in Prison
Dropping gems!!!! Thank you 😊

This is the last of the real vatos , before 💉 flooded our neighborhoods and destroyed the unity that kept them together! Great footage I love this channel🙌🕶
It used to be about community!
I was unaware of latinos shooting up heroin now.
Nah the carga was already hitting hard during this era, and long before.
Lot of PCP , heroin , cannibinal,reds , valium, qualudes , it was bad flooded with drugs all over L.A.
@@12NFLtitles you can’t be serious. Poor people and drugs go together like peanut butter and jelly
little did they know the wave of gang violence that would hit in the 80s and 90s
@@diazbrothers23 in my neighborhood and let me tell you. We grew up in south east San Diego. Logan area and my tia lived on 56th and slauson . South central and we would go visit in the late 80s and 90s. It was crazy for us 88-98
@@bruno5760 SD is a walk in the park today compared to the early 90s. Barrio Logan feels like a tourist spot today.
@@malcorub no doubt. I was born in. 77. My era was the 90s. Southeast San Diego and national city and San ysidro was a war zone back then. We lived right in the heart. When market street boys. Gamma boys and Logan were at war. And there was a shooting every night. San ysidro we got blasted on 4 times by dudes from la. Was crazy
@@malcorub I’m glad those days are over. At the time we thought it was fun. We partied in Tijuana all the time. Came back to the hood with hyenas. So
Many homies are doing life now. Or dead. I’m the lucky one that walked away. I never rolled it up or ratted on anyone. I just grew up. I still have respect everywhere I go from homies and hynas I grew up with and partied with
@@malcorub we had a lot of fun in those days but a lot of heartbreak too
This is the time when you respected ladies, elders, children, and didn't Rat where did we go wrong
Well, it looks like it started in 1978
I miss the "real" free USA.
bullshit
@@Denise_Suzanne yeah the 1400s for the NATIVES of TURTLE ISLAND aka AMERIKHAN the OLD WORLD
Definitely, the fathers of two gang members fighting with a belt to the point of bleeding were stopped by their families. Two teenage girls fighting after school outside of the Parachiol School, were stopped by adults driving by. And out came Mother Superior who was ready to discipline those girls. Yes there was a lot of respect for authority.
I don't know why the beginning of the video made me want to cry, I felt this sadness inside, maybe because I remembered growing up in O*C and if you think about it it's very similar since long ago it was part of L.A, those streets looked familiar like home. Especially since haven't lived in that state for many years now. Time goes by too quickly, life is but a vapor.
This is where I was raised. You get used to the violence 365 24/7. You learn to hit the floor at a very young age..
True true
This weekend is dedicated to binge watching your content, it's gonna be a nice relaxing weekend full of good food(I'm cooking great meals and snacks all weekend) , relaxation, good entertainment, my 2 cats and peace and 🤫🤐. Starting NOW!!
OG news clip right here!!! Thanks for posting it reminds me of Boulevard Nights!🧢🇲🇽
Real life Boulevard Nights. Thanks for posting. Nice to re-enter the time portal of the 70’s.
Mexican ladies just as beautiful back then as they are today...
Yes they are!
Nowadays most Mexican girls are shot out... Good looking Mexican girls faded away like 11 years ago
They go too hard on the sharpies… I prefer PR chicks.
@@killadelphia215 yes my chick is half PR loyal AF when we were teens a dude pulled a knife on me in a house we fell in to the bathroom fighting dude got on top of me about to start stabbing my girl ripped the shower curtain rod down and started beating dude in the head enough to were I was able to get to my feet and start fighting again and she was and still is a hottie been together 24 years now!
@@killadelphia215 You're talking about old cholas and the 90's. That style died out and is only active among those who want to keep it retro. Mexican women out here in LA are coveted because they still have what many women in other communities don't have today, which is a family nucleus. It's certainly being disrupted and corrupted by today's f*m movements but compared to other groups out here we still have it much better and together. Rap music and all that social media has a lot of them way over their head.
I'm Puerto Rican much love too my Mexican brothers out there in east Los Angeles that gang thing has to stop all we doing is destroying one another and red man loves it.
I'm from the streets, born and raised in Sydney Australia. We thugged out here my G. Homies don't play mane
Poder latino!
@@bh2861 That's hilarious 😆 the only hard life any skin group have had on this soil & had reason to bang together are my ppl, Aboriginal Australians. Anyone else whos come here have come here from other countries that have never experienced government policies on their culture.
You all wanna take these old school gangs & push it here. Aboriginal ppl throughout this country run the jails & are the most incarcerated group still in this land.Theres noting fun & cool about poverty , drugs & violence.
We don't need Gangs here , this country has had enough violence.
If you live here in Australia, you aren't forced to gang bang, more like others are attempting to try to make gang banging work here.
back when homies loved their own culture, creating our own style, slang, clothing, attitude, rules, that was based on honor, pride and above all love for our raza… brown and proud wasn’t even a question, everyone had it
Well said
Very true all over its sad how our raza is lost embracing black styles and talk dress its sad
cállese
Thats why I had my Kids in México now the generation is messed up compared to the old times bad proud chicano style I dont have to worry about them being apart of this wierd generation
You said it man
Geraldo down in the hood starting SHIT. Man was trying to talk sports but Geraldo only wants to talk gun shots. Sad that the media created the reputation of gangs and made sure violence was the only thing covered and discussed.
Doesn't look like that to me here 45:53 He is just showing people the reality.
I love your channel!
I lived in Mexico in Guadalajara for 5 years and lived amongst the locals and let me tell you they all became my family. Many of them went to L.A. and back often and those people were the sweetest most loving people I have ever met. Gangs and all.
Guanatos where?? Que Colonia?
They are our neighbors and friends, not "the other" as they are treated by the twisted and the ignorant.
there's not a bunch of gangs in Mexico, that's gangland U.S.A.

2021: "so when does the killing stop when does the shooting stop?"
Its gotten worse
@@on_geepee Na. LA is a piece of cake today compared to 80s and 90s.
Violent crime is actually down.
Also gang bangin now in 2021 is nothing compared to how it was 20, 30 or 40 years ago
@@darienwashington482 tell that nonsense to the southside of chicago cuz they haven't got the memo
This was my parents era they were in San Diego
I was born in 1980 back when vatos had self respect from there clothes to cars and there women
It was all class 😎
People eat women there too what u talking about. Now people respect more woman now and disrespect men
Me to homie march 8th 1980 and you ain't lying. Things are completely opposite now. Even ratting is excepted and a lot banger n members are even working with the cops.
@@Dirty2Clean1980Simon back in the day you drop dime you were late in a pine straight up
the hynas back then were beautiful
I'm a brotha and had friends that actually lived there. Use to visit them. Rosa my friend Jaime mom used to make me Menudo. With the bone in it, was good. This was 1974 everyone was cool with each other. The show Chico and the Man was filmed in that area. Pride was all over the place. Now shit is run down and look like a bomb been dropped there. We're in our late 50's now but what great memories.
East LA looks like a bomb had been dropped there?? You're tripping bro east LA is nice compared to the ghettos in south central watts and Compton , there's a lot of home owners who take care of their lawns and houses but the kids gang bang generations of gang members but still nice looking nhood overall
Why you have to go and mention Mom's home made menudo essay! .Dam man I could go for some of Mom's Tamales right about now...Grew up on Telegraph Rd and Passons...Dad worked at 1115 S Boyle Ave....
Damn Hezakya.." this is a mean .."Mandrill Intro"..I got theAlbum this song is on🔥
Instead of trying to get rich, there was real opportunities in the 70's and 80's, but these guys acting a fool the whole time.
There is too much low-intelligence among these ass-clowns.
Deputy at 31:11 is none other than Gil Carrillo, who ended up working to bring down Richard Ramirez, The Nightstalker!
Little did they know what the 90s would bring
With your choice of music, You just take it to another level, always ❤️ 😉
Facts !
A lot of these guys are mid or late 60s now i hope they turned their live around and are enjoying life with grandkids and family
No, most of them are too stupid. The greater number of them died to gang killings , overdoses, and lifetime incarcerations.
If you had put War Slipping in the Darkness or Low Rider in the intro I would've lost my mind....😂
I would’ve liked those too!!!!
Nah ! Too played out. But more fitting for sure.
@Errorh Makro Agreed! I Appreciate The Authenticity Of The Music I mean why edit this marvelous piece of history. Slipping in to Darkness and Lowrider are cool but also Played out stereo typical songs
The real shit 100% no homies using the N

I grew up on 1st and Sunol Dr. By Obergon Park. HMV territory. My family and Will.i.am’s family were the only black families in the city. Best times of my life.
This was a time where kids were excited to play kick ball or board games, now 10 year old are sexting 😢
That's crazy and sick, with a pedophile most likely to.
There were child prostitutes in the 70s working and living on the streets, no such thing as “good old days”
Hezakya news, man you get the dopest stuff, you deserve all the awards in every category, thank u so much for your bad ass content!
Nunca ha dejado de ser una ciudad con esencia mexicana, aún con el robo de 1848.
...i always say i was born in the wrong era! I wish i could have been born back in those days where it actually meant something to have respect and pride now day's there's no dignity no nothing its all watered down
Kristy, you would have loved the 70's. The difference to this era is rather shocking. I was 18-20 mid 70's, living and going to college in Long Beach in a nearly entirely Chicano part of the city. Working in a full-service gas station (long before self-serve at the pumps), I (white, btw) was caught all the time treating all non-white people like VIPs; the good ol' boys that worked there could NOT grasp the idea. "Don't do nothin' for those f-in' Mexicans!!!!" The moment came when I was told by my Guatemalan coworker, "you are known across this town....... word travels fast...... the way you---a gringo---treat Hispanic people?!?! It means a LOT, man......".
That's all that matters. Touch another culture with kindness, I believe the Highest Power digs that. Whites that don't like it? Gimme all ya got....... it's just fuel. To conclude, the Latino culture is perhaps the proudest culture on the planet. If you listen to their music, they literally celebrate the African cultures; what was brought in the transatlantic slave atrocity would have gone extinct in the hands of the white cultures behind the slavery.
@@oneworld9071 that's amazing! Thank you for sharing and for being so kind.
Lol respect and honor was in the 40 and 50. The 70 they stopped carring about those morals and was just about money
You know you’re getting old when you say people were more moral when you were younger, but the truth is, we have not changed at all. There was murder, theft, rape, incest, and family dysfunction back then…and way back then. We are just woke now instead of it being hidden.
If you dont think there were more morals back you should watch a regular tv show from back then and compare to episode family Guy this days
1976 I grew up in Downey California. Which middle school I grew up with Calvin Chung and Steve Kawasaki which police would give me a hard time, if I spoke to another Mexican American, they called me a gang member. So, when they saw a Chinese, Japanese and Mexican together they aren’t a gang. I ate Chinese food and through Steve, I learned judo and kendo.. Downey California. Please visit. Portos bakery and Downey Library ❤❤❤. Today, we have a large latino community 80 percent and small korean and asian community. We are still here. White folk moved out to texas……
Downey is lame as fuck
My paisa Geraldo Rivera was young.
Wow!, I was only 7 years old during this recording. I was born and raised in East LA and was involved in Gangs until my LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST stepped in my life and saved me🙏
Orale,I was 6 years old..was living in south El Monte at this time..
This video brought back a allot of memories of my childhood growing up LA.
Look at how clean and well kept everything is compared to nowadays.
The homie with the glasses has a sleeve tattoo! That’s hardcore for the 70s.
I grew up around gangs most of my youth. Some friends joined and attempted to recruit but I never quite understood it. The way I saw it was people needed to have a sense of belonging, feeling wanted, appreciated. In school I saw the same thing everyone needed to belong, I never felt that way. I don’t understand it, I see it as a sign of weakness, I’m a one man army. I teach my kids what I’ve learned in the hopes my kids understand this world how I do. Keep yourself grounded, stay in the shadows, get that money, retire early.
*EvoSGooD* You mean stay out the shadows for the shadows is where shit pops off. As far as those wanting to feel a sense of belonging goes and being branded as weak? That's not really true to say; as there are those who want a sense of belonging to avoid letting the evils get the best of them. Like you, I grew up interacting with gang-members in the 90s/00s only to program doing 6 years at Theo Lacy, CYA, and LA Mens Central. Mind you, is how I grew up in the suburbs of South Orange County, CA. However, like I tell people..."just because someone grows up in the burbs doesn't mean the home ain't broken like most in the hood." The end result? I sought out to feel belonged, accepted, etc. Whereas, over time I ended up being put on because I was guilt through affiliation; which is how things were in the 90s/00s era. Whereas, everything else you said about keeping yourself grounded, getting money, and retiring early is and will ALWAYS be the goal. Those who get it "get it." Those who don't...will learn over time.
same here, I've never been a guy of many friends or gangs but a lone ranger and that has made me a weirdo according to some
When I was just a baby, my mama told me "son"
"Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns"

I grew up in LA! Watching this makes me realize how much the Hispanic culture has stayed true to itself!…at 5:12, I can go to Pacoima or Boyle Heights and see dude’s living in acting exactly like this TODAY! White American people have been more like sheep, and changed to where society has deemed and “instructed!” Whether through fear, guilt, whatever… This is beautiful watching some of this.
Mexicans came here for financial opportunities, and only sheep repeat the same stupid shit decades later, looking like clowns. Notice you never see clowns on the freeway they're stuck in a block.

The office talking at 31:07 is Gil Carillo . He’s the detective that caught Richard Ramirez “the night stalker “ . Now he’s in George Lopez “omg hi “ podcast
And on Felipe Esparza's What's Up Fool podcast. The anniversary show is great!

I thought I recognized him. I watched the Night Stalker documentary.
Easy Los is all gentrified now . Sad actually
Did I just see Ponch and Jon ride by ?
Those Maravilla dudes in the beginning were faded but still articulate. I can tell they'd hang out and get deep talking about neighborhood politics and economics
Good observation bro. I grew up in that and lived through that for most of my childhood and young adulthood. I used to tell folks how the homeboys from Maravilla had a whole different style and unique in their own ways. From personal knowledge and experience this was the same through out 80s, 90s, and some of the early 2000s. We stood out wherever we went and despite the hate from other neighborhoods we were respected. The homeboys had respect for innocent bystanders, kids, and local community businesses. Now things have changed how kids view gang culture and the “Chicano roots” are slowly fading away.
@1:08:58 That's the cop who caught the Night Stalker's crazy ass. That's dope!!!!!
Hell ya that is..haha
Oh shit it is lol
the Night Stalker caught himself. 🙃
The people beat him down a cop didnt catch him..
That cop didn't catch shit people caught him
They don't make them like this no more
Sadly.
Thank you for this video. I really enjoyed it. Very enlightening. I always enjoy your content.
Oralé holmes. I grew up the only Blk kid on that Brownside in Paramount, California. They always treated me family. Made me more rounded growing up around a different culture.
Im from Paramount too. I grew up just north of Paramount high a few blocks from weiners snitzchel. I gre up in paramount in the 80s and 90s, and damn! Back in those days it was active with gangs, of course it was no ELA, South Central or Compton, but it was still active.

Bruh even the Peewees were thumping it out at Clearwater middle school all the time. I moved to Chicago in 8th grade so didn't experience Paramount H.S. but I remember several shootings happening when school was out.
@Onetime 4-Real i dont think any gangs in paramount got along East side Paramount didnt get along with Dog Patch or CVS.
@@angelicsoulz do you still reside in Chi Town? And is it as active as the media claims? Or is it just south Chicago?
@@nevergiveup7502
Looks like my reply from earlier was too political and got red flagged but I'm Columbus, Ohio now.. Chicago always had extreme gang violence but it was largely ignored by the national media until '07-'08. There was a big CHANGE and suddenly the attention was focused on Chicago's gang violence. I'm not allowed to say exactly what that CHANGE was tho, I guess.
Think about it🙂
The reason I got into a gang… Real reason is because they lazy and like the fast/easy life as oppose to working hard for your goals. That’s the real answer. “My homeboys have a lot of heart.” But can’t even be man enough to say why they actually joined. Pure bs! Stay in school kids!
This was the time when the eldest son will take over the family's care and respect when the dad was gone..
11:53 Man, I kinda miss those old steel Budweiser cans.
Nice video!!👍 I love the footage of the people just being themselves and the story line was a great story of varrios engaging one another in good times and bad times...I'm 51 yrs old and this is how I remember East LA...How time flies!!great video with a young Geraldo Rivera!
Un régal ton canal Hez !!! Merci
You account is gold🙌🏼 keep it up!
Dang 32:00 Carlos Guzman live back in the days wow never thought I would see this again
Thank you for sharing the artist. My pops use to play bass for a group that played that kind of music. R.I.P.
Ralph Villasenior. USMC. 1979-83? Lost touch with him. Taught me to not fear rip tides. He grew up east LA. Toughest man I met in the Corps. But he didn’t flaunt it. God Bless you Ralph V. Semper Fidelis.
3:16 I though Shawty Lo was about to rap.
Ikr rip
Dey know!!
😭😭😭
My dad took us to East LA for it's culinary delights in the early 70's.
Same old story. Blame the man, blame the system. While sitting their not working drinking beer all day.
You got that right.
Yup a fuking embarrassment to my kind 🤦♂️
JD and Santana was just getting out around this time LoL.
The Italians still running the show but they’re getting sloppy
😄😄😄
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Maybe too soft carnal lol
Hehehe.. You coming outside Santana🤣🤣 oraleeeeeeee
I grew up in South Central L.A (Eastside)in the 70s-80s and the WHOLE city was my oyster EXCEPT East Los was a "No Go Zone" for me and my brethren (except in RARE cases)...thanks for the view into that world...
Tell us more broski
Did you know Robot?
@@waltersobchak7275 Ah No....
That’s why I couldn’t live in LA. Mexicans can go everywhere blacks are but blacks can’t g everywhere Mexicans are.
@@Polostar79 true and even live/move into Black "areas" with no real issue
Interesting. As a white middle aged man. I had no idea I grew up in these hoods. This is exactly what looks like where I grew up in, it just wasn't East LA. Interesting. It was the building units of the day. 8D
This is dope I recognize Samson from Gheraty from another interview on 60 mins. Sounds like a promo for the program tho but they look ready to go at it at anytime
Your videos are awesome !
Love blues rock hard rock bands black sabbath and deep purple and Jimi Hendrix and Iron Maiden and uk metal scary sounds music im black guy fan of thin lizzy.
I like that intro song homies! Think ima use that beat and slow it down n chop it why i flow in Spanish to it que no? Make.a real banger!
the song is amazing....we should've played it when i was in marching band
Shawty Lo sampled it on his song "Dey Know"
All that gang shit got them nowhere. They are all dead or did life in prisons. What did it solve? Absolutely nothing.
That’s because most of these clowns have low intelligence, poor morals, and no personal dignity so that they conduct themselves with honor and kindness to others.
This was before haircuts were considered normal, fuel efficient cars didn't exist, jobs were scarce, the police were extremely racist, no cell phones or social media and gangs were the only thing to live for, good times!
According to the elders they say this era was the shit.
Beautiful hair I don't understand why later many started shaving their heads.
@@pinacolada1393 to look like lupillo Rivera
@@Jewel_Screaming_Chango8387 I respect Pelones but I will always admire the slick back full head of hair 🙂
Imagine telling these dudes that Amy gang member or wanna be is going to have their own tv channel on something called the internet. And they will have followers and make money...they would think your crazy.
Um what gang member has his own tv channel? lol
@@lamujermaslinda I think he meant RUclips channel
