Strange seeing LA without all the homeless and tents everywhere
Gentrification replaced gangs with homelessness. Now there's just rich people, poor people and people working multiple jobs just to pay the rising cost of rent.
It was much more violent back then, but cleaner for sure.
There's also a lot more trash on the streets now.
@@jeffalbillar7625cuz the violence kept people off the streets ironically
@@Reallyfrmtha6 it's the homelessness.
Back then, skid row wasn't nearly as big as it is now.
West LA is pretty bad now as well when it comes to homeless people.
Please, there have always been homeless and tents in LA. You just didn’t care.
gas 1.29 is crazy
That was expensive back than
Hourly wage was $5 per hour. I remember bitching about gas and rent back then too.
@2TrillSenna just about five years ago gas was at 1 2 dollars under Donald trump imagine that.. trump 2024
Great post man you always got the goods! You should have WAY more subscribers than you do.
Most definitely.
I’m a history fanatic
I’ll watch these videos over a good movie any day
37:00 years later 18th Street took over Geer Street Crips' hood
black gangs suck
yep. this is my old neighborhood. there was peace at this time, no real war. then BAM smh.
But then MS13 made them their bitches!
If this were today, a federal RICO indictment would be brought against dozens of them.
You a cop I bet u were bullied
The Rico law was put into legislation in the 1970s.

That radio never stopped jumping
dude wtf seriously thank you for this footage im a native baldwin village resident (jungles) & i've heard all the stories from BPS members about the 18st vs geer gang rivalry from the 90's i grew up in the early 2000's to some fucked up ish in the jungles drive-bys, jumpings etc but i've never seen any footage of my neighborhood in the 90's.. this was 97' so my pops was already living on blackwelder & cloverdale with my mom & aunt in the white apartment to the left! then in 99' my pops moved to gibraltar ave shown at 50:10 (brown and yellow building) also the 18st hideout building at 32:06 my cousin lived in that place years after the new ownership & renovations took over and also i would spend most of my childhood in both those houses shown in the provided timestamps crazy how i was playing inside a what once used to be a notorious gang hideout lol many more reasons why the area i grew up in is so interesting & to this day fascinates me! if you have any old 90's footage of baldwin village or stuff like that it would be much appreciated :) def subscribed!
Damn that's crazy I lived on Gibraltar in 92( the jungles)
@@veronicalarranaga2948 any more insight on how the block was? very curious
i went to baldwin hills elementary but that was in the 80s. still got family in gloria homes. i left in 95. miss the hood.
@Oddisy yes it was crazy my cousin got snatched of the sidewalk and put into a vehicle by a lady smokingcrack. The guys she was with made her let my cousin go we were about 9.. also I've seen people get shot in drive bys.also I remember about once a week there was this guy who would take all the kisd from the neighborhood to the boys market and let us all pick a candy bar 🍫 we were about 15 kids. It's crazy 🤪 we all could have been kidnapped lol. Also all the kids in the neighborhood would start there day early at the park in the summer ☀️ and we'd all be home by time sunset. Wow the good ol day's
@RonMcdon. I went to Hillcrest elementary
I was right around the corner from the Farmer's Market. I squatted a crappy boarded up duplex over a burned out garage after the landlord got killed in a street beef. The strip by the bridge was always crazy. 18th would roll around checking cars and blocking whole streets. I was an art-design student in 1994, for one shortened semester. I left in 1995, but that whole area was at war until around 2005.
I wasn’t born till ‘94 but even from when I was a kid.. LA streets are completely different. Almost think it was better then than now
Yeah it wasn’t … way safer now.
Nah there was no cameras so people got away often
Bonehead comment
naaaaaahhhh, 90s LA was a level of active unheard of today.
Crash unit turned out to be a gang as well lol
Taking out wannabe gang members
gta sa was about crash unit
At this time 18st was heavily at war with slobs
18st was dropping slobs like flies
That's facts
and just like that gangs in LA started to disappear from the public eye. They went underground, drugs changed, neighborhoods changed, businesses moved in and the gang members were being driven out, given 80 years in prison, and lost recruitment of the younger generation. The public young and old saw the futility of gangs and crime. The older adults facilitated new businesses and housing in these run down neighborhoods. The younger people saw the glamour of gangs disappear. Because of the injunction the gang “look” or uniform started to disappear. California saw a major boom in prosperity peace and income. From 2000-2020 it was paradise. The people in California would say we don’t mess with gangs, we learned from the violence of the 80s and 90s and now we’re all about the money
Fast forward to today 2024. Gangs are back in a big way! The gang injunctions, enhancements, and penalties were repealed and kids who knew nothing but prosperity and peace decided they wanted a taste of chaos. And with the blessing of the public and the people, gangs, crime and everything that comes were given resuscitation. The peace of the last 20 years is now fading away and we are in deep doo doo!!!
Foh bro LA is safe
Stop acting like the 2000’s were peaceful they were pretty much an extension of the 90’s if you didn’t realize they were back to back decades
Yeah it took a little while but I’d say after 2007 gangs in Los Angeles mostly disappeared from public sight. I’ll give you examples:
MacArther Park: 2008-2020 no grafitti, no drug dealers, and the park was cleaned up considerably.
Highland park-becoming gentrified, art galleries, food trucks, yuppies
Boyle Heights-becoming gentrified, art galleries, food trucks, yuppies
Echo Park-Gentrified, Art galleries, artists, yuppies.
Downtown LA - completely redesigned from 2008-2020 new restaurants, new apartments & high rises, LA Live, shopping & dinning.
Skid Row - Almost completely cleaned up from 2007-2018 little to no homeless people in tents, empty streets, no drugs, no crime
Graffiti - all over the city, from the valley to Hollywood, Downtown, to Long Beach, you couldn’t find any graffiti from 2005-2020 anytime grafitti was found it was immediately covered up. I actively searched for years to document grafitti in LA during this time and it was GONE!!!
Bottom line is this, when gang members ruled L.A. it was a freaking nightmare but then crime, drugs, and gang members in Los Angeles from 2007-2020, were almost completely extinct. Everyone always say gangs and gang members didn’t disappear and it never changed but that’s not true. In 1996 you would see groups of gang members all over the streets. After the injunctions it was like a desert.

Ur smoking straight meth homies were getting dropped just as much in the 90s in the 2000s they js hype up the 90s so much cuase everyone who was down for 10-25 years got out and hyped the 90s up

Those gas ⛽ prices
😢
Those were the days. Bill Clinton was president then. The country was doin good. Not too many homeless
@@Manuelabor1978lol yeah so good it was only the most violent time for gangs 😂
@brianbadonde9251 I was talking about the economy you wet blanket. I was making damn near 500 a week in 97. Didn't have to worry about the cost of things. You must be living in a bubble. Ain't shit changed in the gangland activities. If anything, it's gotten worse with the rise of GHOSTGUNS. Did we have ghost guns a plenty in 97? Go suck an egg,sir
When gang banging was more gangster than drugs and police were more
Gangster than smuggling drugs there was less homeless and affordable houses
That Barb wire is intense
This kids nowadays 🤣 it wasn’t that bad back then that’s what everyone says now 😂 history repeats itself 🤦♂️
That female reporter was just awful, asking the stupidest questions. She had no idea what she was doing.
The cops answers were dumb as shit too
this is my old neighborhood. this is a trip. lol. bullet used to always hit up on la brea 37:00
Out of curiosity, did this initiative make a difference in the neighborhood? I had family a little further down off of Arlington, we would see some gang activity but not this bad
@@marving27 nope. a war started shortly after between geer and 18
Now the 18st an geargang beefin crazy
Surenos will NEVER die but the Cholo era has been gone 4 a min & will never come back i realized that when the young homies came in the pen in 2013 all talking about how they wear skinny jeans, smh the movie Colors will be just like the Robin Hood movies very soon after us 1980s & 90s bangers r gone
Another problem was that when members of again wanted to change and they hung out together they were constantly arrested and had no chance of positive change
The result of throwing everyone in jail for petty crimes and now getting out into the street years later with no education or sense of belonging so they just Tent up.
Maybe don't commit crime?
This looks like the late 90’s… I wonder 25-30 years later how many are alive, jailed, married, parents…DEAD?
Mid 90’s, this is Inglewood and surrounding suburbs.
The block 18st is now a good neighborhood without no gang members ....
@@happydayz7857this is not Inglewood
A lot have died or are doing prison terms.
It's still one of the biggest gangs in L.A with 20 thousand plus membership. They get killed or locked up, true, but new members replace the old ones. And there's plenty of OGs still breathing. They are still out here.
That was a sorry ass way of hiding "martha" lol and I'm pretty sure they even used her real name smh!
1997 is the Greatest year of my life 👑👑👑
Don't tell me this is the year you were born. I'm fcking old as.
Nayib BukeLe is a Great President for El Salvador we need that Leadership Everywhere!
Wow LA without all the homeless and tents. Makes you wonder how bad our country is and the direction we are going when you can see this compared to now. It’s disgusting actually.
Legalizing drugs is the answer. End the drug war.
I remember as a kid we would go visit family in LA city of South Gate and Every time, I mean literally every time right when we would exit the freeway my parents would tell us to lock the doors, and to make sure all the other doors were locked. At the time I didn't understand why would they react like that when we would go visit family in LA, But now I get it lol. I watched a lot of videos of LA gangs back in the 80s & 90s and my god literally a war zone!. My older cousins are actually in their 50s and they were born in East LA. So they told me how bad it actually was and what they experience.
Not wanting to show her face yet someone going to recognize the back of her head and voice so I don't see the point
They ain't no worse than the politicians who put them away....
From 87- to 89 was good days because our grandparents weren’t old old and had control over the neighborhoods. After they started to die is when gang banging went out of control
I wonder how many are still alive and active !
Their kids are still alive and active shooting
The problem with these idiots was that they arrested innocent people and it actually made the gang grow in size. I remember my cousin and I came to visit from Arizona and we were arrested for being 18 Street gang members. I was like what the f*** is an 18th street? Because I did not have the financial means I had to plead guilty as well as my cousin and it messed up our lives. Some people would say why did you agree to a plea deal if you were innocent, you have to remember that back in the 90s if you fought anything even if you were innocent they would give you the max. For example one of my name is wrongfully arrested and he fought it and they gave him five years in federal prison
La brea dental is still there 😂
Crash unit were cool
18ST is a huge gang , will never die out
Lady is clueless... LOL
Funny how USA always in mexicos business about cartels but USA can’t stop a little gang in La 😂
I was born in 1981. I grew up exposed to these gangsters. Cholos back then had shaved heads with white t-shirts and baggy pants on. That was the style back then. Also, tensions between Black and Latinos were high then.
So i tied an onion to my belt. Which was the style at the time.
@@sluggworth2154 give me five bees for a quarter, you'd say
Injunction didn’t do anything, but organize gangs to be clandestine
No F5-‘s no activity
😂
She's like do y'all ever get out of the car, there like were only ordered to show you around, i mean unless you feel like chasing us around 😂. From Houston to Cali mann🤘 it ain't nothing but love. Growing up as solo in the hood around gangs you know i personally see where alot of guys get into gangs you know, its survival mode. I mean you face a choice of having to starve to death or get in a gang and hustle shit what would you do. They just look at it from there side. The violence id say is just a bi product of making money. Any where there poverty and you put that kind of influx of cash around its gonna turn into the like the way the old cowboy days were. I was just a hang around you know. I didn't seek out gang members to chill with it's just i hustled too at the time and the majority of every one were gang members allot of good dudes with heart. The occasional bad actor but alot of solid cats. We never seen dudes from Cali in the hood but I've had a white boy I think he said he was a bull dog or something wore alot of red I thought he was a blood at first he said nah. I didn't really like him. He thought he was hard af. I wanna take a trip out there next summer
So these foos went to court to fight the injunction?😂
The LAPD back in the 90s...LA. Pura. Diesiocho. I grew up in the pico- union area in 80s 90s... that's what some guy use to say back than.. about the initials
