Thank you so much for this interview! Phillip MC Cain is my grandmother’s nephew. My family came to Venice in the 50’s, and we still own within Venice. I was born in 1981. Venice stand up! #farwest #90291
Damn who would of known that black families lived in Venice in the 1930s now that's some black history for your ass. Thanks for the history lesson Kev Mac.
Our black people settled Los Angeles period. along with the Mexican missions. Run away slaves some traveled west as far as they could until they hit the ocean again. Our people are west african this is our natural habitat.
My family is among those 1st generation black folks from Santa Monica and Venice.My folks lived on San Juan Ave off 7th and Broadway.This is my big cousin speaking here OG Cisco.Did a good job breaking down the history of the people from the area.
@@stanleywashington9716 Indeed! Stan used to sport a Jerry curl. Worked for the City of SM and for a while he was staying on The K BLOCC in Culver City by West Los Angeles College. Dude was hilarious. He would pull his house speakers out and chill w/ all the homies from CXC out front. He’s an older cat! I thought for a second you were him when I saw the name. Good shit though, homie. I really dig the video and the history!! One of my cousins grew up w/ one of your homies, VooDoo (Jason Benjamin) way back - Mid 70’s!!
Bird got Love from everywhere. Every time you go to jail and you tell people you're from Venice or Shoreline, they always say they know OG Bird. Bird gets his respect anyway necessary Lol
Thanks for the interview I had no idea about the black history of Venice or Santa Monica. What you guys are doing is really documenting history on video before it's lost
Thats how i like to dress i always liked the old school gangster style before sagging pants and 4XL shirts that look like dresses. If a mfkr has any sense of style they wear fitted clothes.
It look like he was that day one guy, i would have love to get more in-depth history, maybe had speech problems too..venice has always been their own entity like watts or compton
I Love how it’s always a history lesson w/ KevMac and S’Mac, direct questions and allowing guests to elaborate on answers. it’s a treat to listen about geography changes and the dynamics that existed in the early days of these street Organisations. Sorta like watching “Warriors” (1979) but from actual factual ppl that lived in those era’s; a much different time than today.
If you notice, all these guys start by saying they’re originally from the South. If anyone’s interested in what’s called “The Great Migration”, try reading The Warmth Of Other Suns by Isabel Wilkerson. Great book that tells the story of multiple people and how they originally ventured west and north from the south. Another book I’d recommend to learn more about how American cities became so damn segregated, try out The Color of Law by Richard Rothstein. Very very eye opening book that anyone that lives in any city or town can relate to.
I been on there. Chicago, Detroit and st Louis they all go back to the south. Im orginally from Detroit and live in LA but the midwest had the most blacks move from the south.. im only 30 but my grand parents are all from the south except one from Iowa she was half Sioux.
Brotha Kev. You doing legendary work on documenting the different black tribes of los angeles bro and this information will last for many decades to come👌🏾Keep up the great work.
Much love from Gambia, West Africa. I am originally from Compton (Carver Park Section...but never bang). I have repatriated back to Africa several months ago. I want to thank you for doing a video with my cousin Crip Crazy from Palm and Oak last year. Do your thang Bruh, I like hearing from the O.G's.

Damn I was staying in an air bnb in part of they hood last year and didn’t even know it. This is good history right here didn’t know blacks migrated to Venice and Santa Monica. Shoutout to Kev Mac!
So, I'm a white man from England, but in 1986 as an 18yr old kid, ended up on my own in LA and lived in Venice. apt 6, 14 Westminster Ave to be precise. I was there for two years, nearly died a few times times, got a serious crack habit in '88 and had to leave California in a hurry. You know something, now 53 years old and clean/sober for over 15 years, I often think of some of those old fellas who used to sit out on the corner of Westminster and the Boardwalk, smoking primos and strumming a guitar. Soulful MF's they were and probably saved my life on a couple of occasions, they knew this fucked up white kid from England was way outta his depth, doing what I was doing, but some of those VSLC took care of me a few times, told me to sort my shit out and go home before i got killed. The Boardwalk at 2am was a scary place back then, but I was using so If i couldn't score in Ghost town, (which actually rarely happened) I'd wait out on the 'boardwalk for a rock. They called me the Crazy Limey.....they were probably right. I gotta say it, the V13 treated me the same way too. They all told me to get clean...finally managed it in 2006, sadly I had 18 years of heroin addiction to get through first..
Marvista Gardens even though its Culver city its really Venice and its about the same distance to Venice High as Oakwood is. We are all Family and there is a friends and family reunion for Mar vista gardens every summer.
Such an informative interview! I thoroughly enjoyed these older gentlemen sharing their knowledge. Keep up the great content, Kev Mack. Thank you and blessings.
You had Crips in Santa Monica at one point (GraveYard Gangsta Crips). They're all but defunct at this point. White people in Santa Monica wasn't playin that shit as things started gentrifying. Most either got locked up or moved out. Whites ran most of the Mexicans out of SM too.
@@PokeBruh_98 I grew up in Santa Monica on 20th street and pico (by Eddie's liquor) back in the 90s. Santa Monica use to have a large blk population too. My great aunt use to tell me about how there were a lot of blk homes in SM. That was until they decided to construct the 10 freeway. Eminent domain destroyed a good percentage of the blk population in Santa Monica.
This was VERY informative!! I never knew that about Venice and Im 49 years old and thought I knew all L.A history!! Kev, you and S Mac them dudes for real!! Please keep it coming. God bless🙏🏿👊🏿🔥🔥💪🏿
Thats crazy Kev Mac really back... i feel this season going have all the rare or “ thought he ah never get that “ interviews like Some Piru hoods in Compton, Some more low bottom interviews, Some more Watts interviews and maybe a Varrio Interview or Marravilla
Great video, guys! in addition to Graveyard, you should've covered a snippet on the other neighboring crip gangs and their relationship to the VSLCG's... Play Boy Gangster Crips, Gear Gang, Mansfield & BYSH's. Good shit, man - Love the history!!
True, I remember seeing Shoreline underground crips hit up in the alley on Indiana back in the 70s. But all Crips were allies back then until 60s and 8trays started beefing
Oakwood rec was the shi when I was a kid. Dangerous af but we had a lot of fun. Shout out to the big homie Mojo rest well 🙏🏾. Much appreciation Mr. KevMac
Well spoken historian! I’m from Long Beach & our history is sorta similar w us being a Beach City. Far far apart but that would’ve been dope if the 2 cities clicked. But it’s 2 many hoods in LB. Would’ve had to be the E/S & Venice Sholine
I don’t know how many black families are still holding it down in Venice, but if it ever was a hood that got hit hard by gentrification it is definitely the Venice Sho Lines . Good interview
I had never heard of VSC until the late eighties. I went to a Public Enemy/Ice Cube concert at the Hollywood Bowl around 1989 and a bunch of them were up there and got to fighting with some Bloods and turned it out.
Well Done Kev. You always capture the essence of how things were back then. You may want to go out to Vegas and interview Big SmokeDogg. For some more history of the hood and second generation Sho-Lines.
Before the pandemic, I would go up to Venice and play hoop and smoke pot with some of the VSLC on the bleachers. I definitely sensed more of a family environment between the core members, they would lace me on the area as well and the Revolutionary backgrounds and beginnings of Venice. Interested me so much, I did my own research of Abbott Kinney, he definitely was a head of his time. Great Job Kev Mac and thanks for the history lesson! I just subscribed! One Love #Sellassie
Great interview with one of your most sought after Cliques. Now one of the best things for me on KMV and he Venice ShoLine Crips is the name Onion Monkey. Are you kiddin me? That’s awesome, plus l love the face that the OGs shared what the racial climate was like in Venice from the 1940s through the early 1970s. I hope that there’s a Part2 and I appreciate all the work you put in for this one Big Kev, this was one of the interviews you’ve been wanting forever and I’m glad you got it. Don’t think l forgot Baby Smac because l see ya Homie and you ain’t lost a step yet-great job. Thanks Big Kev and Cisco from Venice ShoLine!! Peace!!! #Salute!!!
Tha difference between how kev do his interviews and others he talks and show's news paper clips proof of everything that's ceing talked about others need to learn from cuhz his interviews is are so compact no empty spaces 🔥🔥🔥🔥
R.I.P. to Reverend Fred K.C. Price. The name of his church ⛪️ was Crenshaw Christian Center located on 79th street and Vermont Ave. in South Los Angeles. Fred Price was actually born & raised in Santa Monica, Ca.
Big respects Kev Mac keep your creative energy flowing! Culture preserved for people worldwide to learn and enjoy. Was waiting for my neighborhood to represent! V’s Up ho’s down!!!✌🏽
I hope they got a part 2 and they talk about the war then truce with v13. Also how the beef started with some of the west LA trays. I heard it goes way back but never knew why
Every one who is watching the video watch a video called the Savages of Venice it will give you more history of the westside of Los Angeles and there is a deeper story behind it all.🤔🤔🙏☺️
Very interesting dynamics & Hood. Their neighborhood has always been intriguing.... We used to hit Venice beach during the summer in the 90’s & they were turned up. Never knew where their hood was but they would be patrolling those back streets. They caught us in a 1986 cutlass supreme, fivedeep and banged on us.... Told um we were from Long Beach & they said “F*** Insane!” We said weren’t from Insane. 😂 They let us go. Don’t know what that beef was about but we were not on that level of their Savagery 😂😂 Savage!
Dope vid. Im definitely an la history buff. My uncle Paul redd was in the panthers. He was in the shootout/ standoff w the Lapd on 41st and central. He told me about fighting w the clan in Venice. Me and my homies got ran up on behind mar vista garden on the bike path by CxC. They one of the only SS that wear red.

Blacks & Mexicans foubded Los angeles...They were also labeled as afro-mexicans
My big cousin rest in peace Leo Young aka Big Buster started Venice Sho-line Crip

Great interview with one of your most sought after Cliques. Now one of the best things for me on KMV and he Venice ShoLine Crips is the name Onion Monkey. Are you kiddin me? That’s awesome, plus l love the face that the OGs shared what the racial climate was like in Venice from the 1940s through the early 1970s. I hope that there’s a Part2 and I appreciate all the work you put in for this one Big Kev, this was one of the interviews you’ve been wanting forever and I’m glad you got it. Don’t think l forgot Baby Smac because l see ya Homie and you ain’t lost a step yet-great job.
Thanks Big Kev and Cisco from Venice ShoLine!!
Peace!!!

Big respects Kev Mac keep your creative energy flowing! Culture preserved for people worldwide to learn and enjoy. Was waiting for my neighborhood to represent! V’s Up ho’s down!!!✌🏽
I hope they got a part 2 and they talk about the war then truce with v13. Also how the beef started with some of the west LA trays. I heard it goes way back but never knew why
Keep it KMV I always watch yo stuff bro respect from Long Beach WCCR80s
Welcome back homie. It seems as if it's been forever. You coming out the shoot once again, Hard As Hell! Great vid!
Excellent job Kev!! Great history.
Every one who is watching the video watch a video called the Savages of Venice it will give you more history of the westside of Los Angeles and there is a deeper story behind it all.🤔🤔🙏☺️
Bwhahahaha Lolololololol bwhahahaha Lolololololol " it wasn't no Troy ..it was jw that brought that shit" - quadruple oooog lololol
Kev Mac is back 🔥🔥🔥
One of the best, and concise, historical accounts on the Kev Mac platform.
Very interesting dynamics & Hood. Their neighborhood has always been intriguing.... We used to hit Venice beach during the summer in the 90’s & they were turned up. Never knew where their hood was but they would be patrolling those back streets. They caught us in a 1986 cutlass supreme, fivedeep and banged on us.... Told um we were from Long Beach & they said “F*** Insane!” We said weren’t from Insane. 😂
They let us go. Don’t know what that beef was about but we were not on that level of their Savagery 😂😂
Savage!
Love your interviews Big Kev Mac. Love from Big Rascal from Memphis, TN
Excellent interview...beautiful history lesson.
My Grandfather used to say we had the best dice games on the westside in the late 50s and 60s.
I really dig the Black History in this one , Salute Kev Mac: MilC-MilC St.Paul Minnesota!
Dope vid. Im definitely an la history buff. My uncle Paul redd was in the panthers. He was in the shootout/ standoff w the Lapd on 41st and central. He told me about fighting w the clan in Venice. Me and my homies got ran up on behind mar vista garden on the bike path by CxC. They one of the only SS that wear red.
Yeah the bike path was treacherous easy Pickens no cell phones in that time all you can do is just scream...
Sho!

Is there any hood Raymond Washington didn't personally touch? Amazing.
Nope..homie was everywhere
Love the Triple OGs stories. Kev Mac at it again.
