The history of this particular culture within all parts of L.A. is endless! Kev Mac you have a way of telling 💯% facts up close and personal right in our face! L.A. culture runs deeper than anyone can ever imagine! You the G.O.A.T. of this Kev Mac!
This was incredible!! I love how you Kev Mac make your videos being none bias and telling the history how it actually went. Not trying to discredit our Latino brothers, but I see a lot of comments on these type videos where the Chicano brothers don’t like giving credit to the African American gangs for being a major influence in Los Angeles gang culture which at times can be confusing to some of us out of towners who just wanna know the history. This was great brother, keep up the good work.
I'm from London and learn a lot from this channel I learn the history of black Culture in California you give me feeling, demographics of the times and politics also nostalgia this is a great channel for authenticity and social documentation with a twist of gangster
This Kev Mac documentary series of LA urban culture is just absolutely incredible , produced, documented and edited on a shoestring budget and the most professional and accurate piece bar none, simply brilliant Now are you watching how it should be done mainstream TV this is the real Colours. Love your work Kev. This channel just trend sets , your way ahead. Can't wait for the next one. Peace 🇮🇪
Watched it twice already, so much information packed in here, I wholeheartedly agree with Monster's commentary on the power of the gun and the allure of outlaw culture, America loves its violence, and Hollywood interpreted street gang culture mostly wrong, and the art appeared to imitate real life, but actually perverted it, and added fuel to the fire, KMV I now really see what you said in the early development of this channel, "So goes LA, so goes the nation"...I really get it now
@B4Y SH!T in your opinion, how should I word the shit for you then, I'm just a black man, enjoying another black man's content, nobody said police except you, this is a black history channel, and history is archiving and sharing factual " information", correct me if I'm wrong
The ‘79 video as well as the ‘83. It really takes a mfing genius and a legitimate Journalist to think of shit like that and take the time to make it happen👍🏽🍻🍻🍻
Man you have almost single handedly traced the inception of the blueprint of today's gangs as far as the west coast blacks go,it's growth n spread, and also the damages and all basically first hand info. Great job and impeccable journalism..peace n blessings from TN Kev Mac
Dopest shyt EVER on RUclips. Sorry I’m late. Thank YOU Kev Mac...I gotta do sum shyt-and git back to this. This shyt 🔥🔥🔥. RIP all LA bangers lost in y’all’s war. This THAT SHYT💯
Great compilation of knowledge for those unfamiliar with the chronological events that led to not only violent transactions occurring, but politics across many sociocultural and economical factions. This is nicely done and the commentary reflects your professionalism in depicting occurrences amongst LA metro.
This looks like a big setup to cause the sets to go to war against each other, at least the Crips in particular. Very insightful video, @Kev Mac Videos. #Respect #Love
Nah, the big setup is getting generations of kids into the sets in the first place. There was/is never going to be a positive future for anyone active in any gang.
This was dope! I have been watching your videos for a couple of years now and am very impressed with your growth. This was a very well put together project. Keep up the great work!
There was an article in the 70s ,. N it was about the old school impala style car was a one of the common cars for the gangland style homicides that started taking place Good shit Kev
Wow, '79 really was the year when everything jumped off and gangbanging was in full swing. And I think it was like that in a lot of other cities as well
@@creepnasty5370 ...imitated what ??? A LA was not the only city with brothers living in them circumstances & with the same results ... check Chicago history ... was LA immitating Chicago ??
I had to come back to watch this one again, this one was really dope it has a good timeline on the whole city of LA and a great accounting of the events good show KEV!!! "Mac'Documentary" Kev Style!!!
I remember all that I was 9 years old in the year of 79 and I could remember all that as a kid living on 60th street and going to Hyde park Elm. I remember this girl talking about how a kid name Tyron had been kill and how her mom knew his brother Big Rick. Times were different and real gangbangin was Omnipresent. Even as a kid at 9 years old you had to be tough because 9 times out of 10 when you hung outside on your bike you encounter Gangbangers not gangmembers, and you had to act a certain way around them or you would be a victim by the fist. I remember Peddie Wack,Stone, Baby Face, and Moster kody and his brother Lil Monster and how they use to move,shaping us 80s teens that came up in the crack 80s era....good looking on this video this brought back memories...
This is the year when crippin tooc on the persona of “we pushed” a different line. It wuz so many wars poppin off. When anie got kilt we never recovered the luv on the rip cyde it still carries over til this day
when y'all started falling out with the hoovers one by one was it straight gunplay or scuffles here and there with hopes of maybe finding a way to squash the shit since you were all hoovers?
Great Job Kev on the events of 79, back in those days it wasn't no joke, I myself was taken off the Streets by 81. those white folks wanted all of us Brownings off the streets for good, I salute you my brother

I was at that Funk Festival. The best concert ever. That concert went from about 2pm to 11pm.
I can only imagine. I watched the Wattstax documentary at least 10x many gets old.
I was there as well. I consider it to be our Woodstock. It'll never be forgotten.
they should ask more people about the 1979 funk festival for more detailed accounts.

Most Important years in L.A Gang History,
1972 ( Wrath of the Crips )
1973 - 1974 ( Formation of Bloods & Pirus )
1979 ( Crips vs Crips ) Raymond & Tookie gone
1980 ( L.A city suprass over 1k homicides )
1983 ( Gangsta Rap & Crack cocaine )
1992 ( Civil Unrest ) Rodney King Riots
Formation of the PIRU to becoming a so called gang didn't start in 73 but more like 71/72 Piru Boy's already existed
i think 1976 may be a milestone year, because a lot of stuff happened in an around 76. its also called the bicentenial year
