Kenny is a real OG! Was holding it down cause he's thinking about future generations of Asians. Nobody thinks like that today! Salute Kenny ✊
It's deeply embedded in our culture, we tend to think about whole situation (past, present, future, cause and effect) as opposed to westerners who are more literal minded and tend to look at only what is in front of them and then base their judgement strictly on that. Historical thinking and philosophy is natural to our language.
Hey I’m not Asian but I respect what he said right there. Fr fr. That’s how I be thinking to help my culture since we are not United here in Texas. Well yeah thanks for the upload
whoa, Kenny is a shining example of "be careful of old men in a lifestyle and environment where tehy die young". Damn son, it's so real what Kenny went through and how he handled his business back in the day as a minority group in the joint
Bro Kenny, totally understand your point of view as minority in a foreign land, I'm facing the same situation as well. Old skool guy like Kenny got my respect, they really use their lives to pace space for the younger Asian.
gotta respect this guy. love watching his interviews
The most dangerous inmate in southern Nevada's High Desert is a Chinese gangster. Its a know thing and he almost escaped in like 2018 but broke his leg on the fall. He gets mad respect from everyone . The Southerners tried to go at him but got more than the could chew.
Would like to know more about him and what gang or triad he was from.
Don’t believe you
Rumor has it he was a trained ninja his name was Ashida Kim look him up
@@MichaelMyersxx well chain snatcher I wouldn't either if my whole identity was going around and grabbing chains that were most likey 80% fake. My life outlook on quality of peoples choices would be the same as yours if I had that job.
He goes by Bai tied to the United Bamboo Taiwanese Tong. Xiao Ye Bai. 2013 Las Vegas slaying. All you need is a C.O or an inmate to give you info on him.
Big Bro Kenny always spit some real shit. Relate to everything he talks about. Mad respect to the OG 🫡
This was a real talk, gotta respect how the asians put differences aside and converge inside as a means to adapt and mobilize
It’s a different world, that life is gone, so few Asian inside gotta stick together only way to survive
Every group does that in prison Asians are not different
@@MultiKashi1234 Yes, same goes for Hispanics on the West coast who are often in confrontation with the blacks.
Holy shit, I was not expecting to be this absorbed in this video. Kenny is an amazing storyteller, I want to hear more.
I believe it when he said he’ll take 4 people down in a rumble
Hear more! Hear more!
Asians are always the underdogs on top. West to east coast out numbered but they’ll ride til the wheels fall off!
Asians are lil dick bitches
May I recommend better lug nuts.
Shout-out to those brothers from Brooklyn.
Shout out to the brothers at the Junction and Vandaveer East Flatbush during the early 90’s. Fat Tony, Tiger, Star…
Yea that was cool as Fuvk ! They could see Kenny was a man of honor
REAL RECOGNISE REAL
Facts shout out to the brothers that shit brung a smile to my face 🙌🏾 do gotta admit Dc boys/blacks have that rep till this day sadly💯
"I dont know why he had a watch in jail" 🤣
Sick channel. I like how he introduced his culture view. Slant eyes. States his American acceptance of racism. It's hard here
No doubt, Asians getting beat up left and right and a prevalent victim of racism. America is the land of oppression, hence why everyone wants to come here.
“Why you need a watch in jail?! “ lol .
Pretty ironic, the only way to survive in jail is to be willing to die.
That may be the only way to live period; accept that death is inevitable.
growing up with my high school buddy, every time i picked him up for school his dad always said...stay out of trouble and never ever bother any of the asians...
Then you woke up
Damn ! Respect to OG Kenny .
3:30 "time to go home" lol that's some funny shit
Here In Australia the Asians are by far the best race in jail they don’t mess with anyone unless people mess with them they don’t stand over people they are respectful but don’t mistake there kindness for weakness if you mess with them they are brutal, they don’t fight fair and other races talk shit about that aspect of them and I would agree if they were going around acting tuff but like I said they don’t mess with anyone unless they are provoked and they are usually small so they kinda need to fight dirty the other main difference with them and all the other races is everyone else try’s so hard to look like bad ass criminals with face tattoos and shit like that Asians are the opposite they try to fly under the radar
How are ozzy prisons compared to US ones? In US, we have two types: federal and state. Federal ones aren’t too terrible, they have the funding to keep them devolving into chaos. State prisons on the other hand, are hell on earth. Hollywood-levels of violence, sexual assaults, hepatitis and HIV. My mind places ozzy jails higher but have no clue
That's true what you say. That is why there aren't that much Asian in the jail and prison system. They fly under the radar. They don't throw themselves out there on front street to get caught up by the police. It's usually the stubborn and cocky ones who gets caught up. The smart ones lay low.
@@Ntsej_Muag yeah there’s not that many if you take into account how many Asians there are in the big city’s like Sydney or Melbourne there’s heaps
@@DY-td3ku man Asian dudes are savage I’ve known a lot here in Sydney and some of em straight scared me haha I can usually tell when people really are about it coz I grew up in mounty county and Asian dudes are the least ones to front. The ones that got under my skin that I knew were truly tough were the quiet ones. I’d buy my stuff off em whatever whatever haha and I couldn’t wait to get outta their presence coz I didn’t want to accidentally say something stupid and wig em out 😂
It’s crazy how a lot of people think they’re nerdy and weak but they’re not their culture is straight savage warrior
If they didn’t like you, you would know it. They quietly get under your skin while plotting your demise from different angles. Watch out for the quiet ones. They are by no means scared of anyone or anything.
As a kid, I’ve heard many stories about Chinatown gangs. I’ve been to NY Chinatown serval times as a kid and as an adult.
You can’t get insights about prisons on TV. I been watching prison stuff on RUclips. This is one of my favorite channels to watch.
Thank you for the content.
LOL... "You can't walk like that in jail!"
Don't disrespect anyone on the basis of their race or ethnicity cause you got bad motherfuckers from every walk of life and it'll only be a matter of time before you bump the wrong one. Kenny's a real one for sure respect to him
Fr, I believe stereotypes happen in multicultural places like usa which is majority are white so the common perspective is that from the majority population. Like u said, every society has their black sheeps.
@@mjolninja9358 If the majority actually tried to get to know other people, they would quickly see that stereotypes are usually false
some asians are crazy killers as you can see
Wow, very intense. Very interesting to hear these stories, thx
Thank you for watching
Lol @ wearing a watch in jail 😂.. Love Kenny ! And love this channel !
I was active there back in old Chinatown 1970s-1980s and as it moved up into East Broadway from 1990s to about 2007. Especially when the Fuzhou (foochow) started coming in the early 1990s. Love all your stories and videos, brings back lots of memories!
“Why tf you need a watch for,” lol
My left ear is loving this video
That's dope u interview gang mamber
In the Netherlands Amsterdam 70s and 80s in china town the asians badass they rule Amsterdam with heroine from laos no 4 even the criminals from Joegoslavië deep respect for them. Asian maffia in Amsterdam from Hong Kong , Singapore . They still in action but quiet invest money crypto and real estate,drugs
Look at his face you can see he been through a lot
You mean when a person is not gifted with a handsome face then he went through a lot?
@@delacroixii why would you say that? Is there anything wrong with his face ? Would you dare to say that in front of his face?
DC boys AKA Bootie bandits 😂
Oh yeah, no one likes them in the Feds. Everyone I knew (of any race) told me to stay away from them.
@@Rakasha30 MDC ?
Hahhahaahha
Don't get it twisted DC in federal prisons fight. Don't come to DC thinking that they are all gay. I live in the DC area. It was the murder capitol for almost 20 years. Everyone knows how to box in the city. I personally have done a bid in VA and seen DC cats beat the fk out of people from different states. It's a known thing that the city has some of the best professional boxers in history and Maryland also. It's not all funny when you are getting your ass beat. Watch banky or any federal RUclipsrs and they all say DC federal inmates were beating peoples ass. If you never been locked up either you wouldn't know.
They beating people to get at their ass.
I've always saying the same thing...we're minority...we must stick together with other minority...why fight? Im born as chinese descent..we're a minority here and always bring pushed..so you must stand for your rights..
The can of Wanglaoji is classic gangster move 😂
Gah damnit.. I watched this whole interview bc I thought the title said Assassins instead of Asians lmfao! Great interview though, just not what I was expecting!..🤣
😂
如想多的人理解當時唐人街事,講廣東話(或有中文字幕)較有年代感覺,而且那時是廣東人天下
Dang , Asians prison story be the most underrated and cool story. 😎
Respect to Real OG Kenny
“We’re gonna be here for 10-15 years what the fuck you need a watch for” 😂😂😂
I really love your channel
Prison sounds like hell .
This man is battle hardened. Respect!
Thanks!
Appreciate the support, Brandon!
Respect big bro 💪🏾🌟
Their gang was the Ghost Shadows?!? Impressionable and edge lord 13 yr old me would've definitely joined up.
Dang that's real talk. Asians got to stick together. More talk and less intro though. The intro was too long bro 😂😂😂
Much respect to Asians and the rich cultures that they always bring to the table! Great homies and Fam to have, let me tell you.
the glory at that moment. Wow..
There goes our booty 😂
I drove through Washington DC once in The City layout was very confusing and the men that the gas station were like the men of Sodom, homosexual degenerates, predatory, not flamboyant
🙄 ❓
Sounds about right….😂 DC full of booty bandits and closet boys
the sound of the video is mono for some reason
“There goes that booty “ - not what you want to hear in prison
Ngl DC boys are notorious for stuff like that that's why there the most hated
Are they hispanic or black?
@@LYCANCLANTEAM Black but idk it could be both because in DC they don't have a prison they all go to the feds
DC Blacks is a prison gang based in Washington DC - which is federal land
@@LYCANCLANTEAM DC Boys in the Feds are only ever Black dudes.
Those guys from dc and souther jails are zesty as hell especially those guys from lorton back in the day
Love this 😊
The outro RAP is just so good, how can I find it?
Finally a gang name that's actually cool. Crip, Bloods, 18th St, Rollin 60s Crips, Mexican Mafia, Aryan this and that. None of them are cool sounding. Not like Ghost Shadow. Like a bunch of anime nerds got together and made a gang.
Guy sounds like Robert Deniro 🤣
My eyes not that slanty but my skin yellow; let me in chief! 😅
This was great
Lol love it gambling was the money maker . Of course the one crutch for us Asians no matter where they are in the world 😂😂😂
I was doing some research, sounds like Beckley. Different facilities are ran a little differently, even though both are FCI medium. In Gilmer there are lockdown, stand up counts, where as in another place like Butner medium, inmates just go to their door for count, no lockdown.
You need a watch because not all units have a clock in them, medical , education will write shots for missed callouts, moves are typically 1 way moves and they are almost never called on time, especially if there’s stupid stuff going down, which happens a lot, all these COVID lockdowns the past 2 years were ridiculous, being in that cell locked down, you’re always wanting to know the time. You also need to report to work on time, or else that’s another shot.
It’s in our Asian blood. We’re silent but deadly. Push us in the corner and it’s all the way
All the way to what?
@@solslastcannula5665 all the way till death. Born and raise in Asia, we don't want any trouble and always want to go the other route. Don't think it's a sign of weakness coz when push into corner we fight until the end.
Hello may I know the song title? It’s dope!
No title, we just created it…didn’t come up with a title yet
@@chinatowngangstories is hot
The thing about Asians it’s all about respect loyalty and honour. That’s something a lot of these gangs don’t have. Met a lot of og’s while I was doing time in lock up in SAC 🐲🐉
Does Kenny and Big Head really get along these days ? Were they big time rivals back in the day ?
They're good friends now. Back then they were busy at war with the Flying Dragons
You, my friend, clearly missed the Live.. 😉
GS and TO never in a real war with each other, but GS really didn't like 老虎仔and一頸血 lol
@@pkgs1979 Because Chi Keung likes to start fights and trouble...hahaha. RIP.
Lol I didn't like him but come to think about it,I do miss those guys, I think we could be friends if they still around
It's interesting how the social justice Warriors totally ignore the prison culture when it comes to the ideal of diversity being a virtue. When the shit hits the fan birds of a feather stick together. That's how we all got to where we're at right now.
That's cause it's prison lol. What do you expect? You lock the roughest and meanest of society into one building, they tend to get tribal. It's a no brainer. Humans do immoral and horrible things to one another when they get desperate. Don't mean we shouldn't strive to be better. Plus America has for-profit prisons and not the best inmate conditions and rehabilitation.
They’d be the first to go!
what do they say?
High yaaaaaa!
his dudes eyes dont lie.
hes stabbed a few in prison....he looks like a killer
Old school way of thinking - The new generation don't have a clue. Always had each others back no matter what
Song at the end kinda dope anyone know where I can find it?
when you cant go to the police...who you gonna call? ghostbusters
My CDC number C18. Saw how it all started and the conflict with the southsiders. Kick off a riot in Centinela. C yard. Since parole. Never look back. Union electrician in SF. CMF was the recieving center then. From CMF to Soledad. SQ to centinela. I was a juvenile but trial as an adult.
Glad you made positive changes in your life
Holy shit! I was in the feds in West Virginia too. Beckley. I didn't see any Asians when I was there. Wasn't many Italians either. Maybe a dozen of us. Mostly white hillbillies. Some blacks. A handful of Hispanics.
What the name of the song in the end?
I respect that
Asian stick with Asian ❤
I'm mixed with black and Asian. Not sure how that will work out lol
you'd choose
You could be the peacemaker between the two groups and serve as the leader eventually 🤣
What's that drink on the table?energy drink?Honestly I want one of that,anybody knows about taht plz.🤔
No audio on the clip.
Glory of that moment. G shit
I always tell folks that a “ KENNY “. Isn’t always some white dorky guy. Or just a cartoon character, on a show called South Park. KENNY”s are BAD ASSES as well! 👋🏽🫵🏽🫡
P.s im bias i am a Kenny, Ken, Kenneth! 👍🏽
that's a BrotherHood right there I would say
1:22 😂😂😂 respect
3:59
Bruh there no sound on this?
I remembered I was down in Delano reception with Fei 𝑰𝒏𝒈 (Taiwan) as my celly and he didn’t know the ropes too much so I had to laced him. Also another 2 from Bamboo and myself. Only 4 Asian walking the yard and I had to tell them we go down together no matter what pops up. As for Ghost Shadow, yeah I visited NYC back in 1987 when I was on the run and hung out with BTK sworn enemies of Ghost Shadow then. After I met a few Ghost Shadow and BTK…business talk got us in agreement. In prison, the others are the least of the cars…Asian stick together but honestly speaking, not tight knitted as what ppl think because there are so many different types of Asians and we tend to to kick it tighter with our actual Asian race. Truth be told.
can we see kenny fight china mac
Kenny wasn’t born in the US, right? I ask because he has a NYC accent but with a slight accent, if you get what I meant lol.
And what he said about booty bandits is true, and how latinos survived before numbers were big. It didn’t matter what you thought of the next man, you had to stand by him because if you let him get it, then it’s open season.
Born in Hong Kong
my g sipping on some 王老吉 real shit
Our generation paved the way for the next generation asians and look what happened? Miss the 80s and 90s ..my din # starts with 98A
OG KENNY talking that real shit. But.. Em boyz should've smack some sense into that batty boy Henry.
in jail u cant run a poker table if you not backd up by a gang...... so i duno what he talking about ...... if you think u can just start up a poker table ... u ither run with a gang and cool or they robbeing you ....
plz cut that song out at the end, jesus christ
Thanks for your feedback.
Those East coast black dudes are a lot different from the black dudes out west. Wonder why?
Different how
You’re confusing things a little. The DC blacks are known booty bandits. NYC has no connection to those freaks.😂
@@Agent-ej1qg not as loud and obnoxious
@@Vjl5280 same the Latinos on the east coast are not like the Latinos on the west coast ghetto and cholos
so what happend?
PTSD 😆
I only have one speaker and can't hear a thing.
Hopefully one day you’ll get a 2nd speaker and I’ll get a new mic.
@@chinatowngangstories Hopefully lol. Other videos work fine so I don't think it's the mic
having the privilege to be in the USA as a citizen, it is a complete waste to be involved with the other side of the law. We have equal educational rights as everyone else in the USA, and that opportunity does not exist in most other countries. This war right now, should make you realize how special it is to be a US citizen
You do understand that there are crooked cops out there too, right? Not just that, you're getting bullied from all side. What are you going to do when law enforcement is not on your side? You have to take matters into your own hands. That is why they call it street justice. I don't know if you have even been in the streets long enough to understand street politics.
Usa is racist as hell man. Joining gangs is the only way to survive
I AGREE I AM MENACE OF DESTRUCTION
DO NOT FORGET TO WASH YOUR HANDS
then they all realized that getting a job and living within the law was much easier, especially in the USA
He had be rolling when he said u guys are dumb when it comes to gambling
