Holy shit I was in federal holding when he beat his case me being a Northerner and him being MS13 we became friends we ate spreads and if he didn't have commissary I would give him extra soups and chips hygiene
We went to Rec and came back and the CO was like hey Clever you're all over the news you beat your federal case and was only held on a 500 dollar bond I have like 7 racks on my books and offered to pay his bail his lady got him out
Man good dude I had no clue he was on here super proud of you happy to call you my friend Clever 😀
Wow
Glad you’re out, good heart homie 💯
Too bad he str8 blames chicanos the whole time, they got off the plane looking the chicanos from the movies, the culture they drought back from L.A…..
If ....you will!
@@kevinyoung947 Blamed the Chicanos? What you mean?
Take a shot everytime he says “If you will” good luck!

@@godlymajins On the topic of MS-13 ??? Yeah... That's a real "fun" subject.
Cringe
@@Stej-i7m I never hear anyone say anything about literally every other guy on here saying "know what I'm saying" after every sentence
Exactly, bunch of dumb asses
I can tell he wanted to talk more about how to fix the problem. He wanted to bring attention to the core problems. Not to glorify all the atrocities commited against his people. With poverty, horrible social infrastructure, no opportunities, no programs for rehabilitation, broken home/family unit etc..
The united states government has their hand in starting many criminal enterprise's/Gangs/terrorist groups. But, we never talk about the fact that they're bigger criminals than the actual gangs most of the time.
Hope this gentleman is doing well and has the strength to help many people.
Big facts 💪💯 they just thug's in suits but make us out to be the scum of the earth. They convinced the whole world that if you have dark skin you are devil's but really they their the real monsters.
You almost understand
@@blackjohnny9570 almost there bro; who is this "they" you and so many like you speak of? how bout you do some research and think for yourself, make your own conclusions. But you are happy repeating what you see online and playing the victim. And no im not white im mexican with a black mom.
@@marcoantonioc5437 I do research and "they" is anyone who thinks he is above any other human because a physical difference such as skin color. If you do your research you would know we "melinated" or people of color stated civilization as we know it but Europeans came and stole and plunder and put there name on it. And that's facts not my opinion, tell me something brother how come all around the world people equate dark skin with poverty? Why did the white slaves owners didn't want slaves to read? Because they know we are equal mentally but they are so scared to scared to relinquish power and accept the fact that we were here before them. That's why they hate us so much, so do a little history yourself and figure why are history isn't taught and tried to destroy are very exists. But it's all love bra you just have to know the level of hate that some white people have for the original people, but some can't grasp it cause their heart isn't filled with such hate.✌️🙏
PURO PUTASO
Ironically MS started by other nationalities talking bad about the way the Salvadoreños spoke, and here we are talking bad about how this guy talks lol
Nationality is the place of birth and legal citizenship. Other nationalities meaning Americans..
My parents were apart of the immigration during the El Salvador civil war and I like how this shed light on the topic as it hits home. Ms 13 is horrific gang that changed the country but there was a history of corruption within the government aswell.
This dude gonna read the comments and never go back on Vlad
How bad would it suck, if he returned with tech-savvy MS-13 members who can track IP addresses(gulp)!
If you will.
If you will🤣
I think he will
Basically, if you will

Vlad was so into this story he didn't even interrupted and ask a question for like 10min lol
A very good history explained here about MS-13. Lopez did a good job explaining it in this interview. The history is always important so we get past all the myths & lies. If we don’t learn then history repeats itself.
This Dude is the real deal. Not those Rappers people think are hard.
If y’all are still interested in the Salvadorian Civil war. Please watch the Movie Voces Innocentes, Innocent Voices. This movie depicts the atrocities that Salvadorian people endured in those times.
The "gangster rappers" aren't hard at all. Ms 13 seems to be like organized crime (mafia, cartels, triads, yakuza, etc) are the real deal in the underworld. The streets work for these groups.
Looks like two outsiders talking about some stuff they know nothing about. Stay online.
@@williedee8278 outsiders haha. Stay online. What are you doing then?
Where can I watch that movie
And here I am, an immigrant from the South, who lived in a cardboard hut through years of my childhood now watching this video and thanking my parents for all of the love they gave us, for raising us to be respectful and value life...to have goals and have ambition, there is no need for prison, juvenile detention, post prison reform when there is good and proper parenting. If you can’t do that, you have no good reason to have children until you can nurture care and educate your child...if we all did that, this world would cure itself of criminals and there would be no need to label them for their crimes. If you can’t appreciate the label, then don’t commit the crime. Let’s do our part by mentoring these kids to help them become success stories instead of another number in prison.
Shout out to your parents! They did a good job.
My un uncle wife is from el Salvador my 2 cousin's went to the navy, and marine's, 1 is a doctor 2nd is a nerse and have a good life she got her brother to come to USA he is a carpintero all of them doing good and positive energy always, Trump made Salvador like if all are ms13 and that is not true story the ms13 started in California USA made gang's all over not other country's. Respeto a todos los latinos de corazon familia desde Puerto Rico.

"I definitely didn't put in a 2 week notice or anything." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 One of the best djfed interviews!

Top 3 quotes at 34:37
"(3)IT'S HORRIFIC, (1)IF YOU WILL, when you (2)GO AHEAD AND hear something like that."
GREAT interview! Homey ain't just solid, he's concerned and compassionate.
Thank you for your stupid observation, go back to school please.
Everytime Gerardo says IF YOU WILL...chug a Pilsner beer.
This dude is just starting to get his wheels rolling in speaking about his experiences and the comments section shows no love
It takes maturity To listen deeply To someone story. Especialy when it makes you inconfortable and want to play strong " if you will"
Respecting life is the base of civilisation and those people or culture ( music, film) do not but we all embrasse it before knowing better.
Long life to him and all the other "homies" coming clean.
That's not true. I see lots of positive comments, and not just comments posted after yours.
@@chloewright1 this was 8 months ago. If there’s positivity now then great but when the vid first came out it was a 💩 show
That intro with the history was some college level shit
These “if you will” comments are hilarious but in all seriousness. This man has overcome the battles that he admits he put himself in and some that were put into his path and that’s admirable. He can distinguish where he was a victim and where he was in the wrong. He has changed his life for the best and has continued to educate himself.
If you will
YA 100% RITE! 👍✌️😷😷🇨🇦
GOOD 4 HIM TO MOVE 4WARD! I NEED HIS STRENGTH & COURAGE! 👍👏✌️😷😷🇨🇦
The important part is that whether or not he was responsible for what happened to him, he took responsibility for it. This man has solid character and the world would be a much better place if everyone had half of what he does.
You can say this man made it out if you will
The real reason why the beaf started with 18th Street is because he wouldnt stop saying "if you will" at a party.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂✌
Beaf...🤣 beef... either way...🤣
That’s all you got from this? You’re not very smart nor loving.
Lol
Yup. Damn it it's infuriating af.
Has anyone got the "If you will count"? This is a mission for not just any average joe. You may not ever return. But know your courage and persistence will be forever grateful for every comment section ever created by man. Godspeed gentle soul.
This interview is one of my favorites. I love the part where he talks about going to the law library in prison. Having to write all those motions must have been so hard. This was very inspiring. God bless you sir and may you continue to have a full life and happiness and health!
Not as bad as "You know what I'm saying?" over and over..😂😂
You mean: " knawm-sayin"
True. These stupid rappers make you puke 🤮 after 2 minutes
Your opinion. You still watch
Or at the end of the day.... know mean.

In American English a lot of people whose English is their second language, they have some sort of verbal crutch. Seems like "if you will" is his verbal crutch

That’s crazy

You should make an interview!
Westmoreland and 9th st is where the Stoners would kick it. The 7Eleven. Puro Metal 🤘
I love how Vlad expresses his political bias. Wish he would be a non bias interviewer.
He forming his questions over his political bias. We get it vlad, you don’t like trump
Gerardo was that homie that always took the newspaper to his cell and didn’t leave it in the day room. Lol. Good for you bro!
Just in the first two minutes There was so much mind blowing info, I had to rewind and listen again so many times just to grasp the perspective
He’ll never say “if you will” ever again for the rest of his life!!
Lol, bro you funny ashell
So Vlad is just going to “go ahead and” release the full interview “if you will”.
I just to say thank you Gerardo Lopez, u came and spoke to my sons school and made an impact on him !
the story he told about getting shot at was wild, abuela: did you hear the shots? him: que? shots ... (after jumping over 3 blocks of fences dodging these gang members)
I grew up in LA played baseball in Queen Anne, Normandie, and Ardmore park in K town. The good ol day’s when we had all star games. MS and their enemies were always around but didn’t mess with us. We had solid coaches that would speak to em, no messing around while we played. Those that didn’t grow up in LA mid-City, K- town this mans story is solid I’m almost 40 now, those were some crazy times. But in the hood it was just a normal day. People getting shot and the ghetto bird trying to catch shooters that were long gone. I’m Salvadorian and I’m very familiar with machetes, and corbos. Y’all stay safe! Peace out!
Imagine if you will, a man stuck in a infinite loop of madness, you are now entering

He sneaks it in with such masterful linguistics...
if you will.
The machete was adapted into phillipino martial arts , a lot of people were farmers , so what he is talking about is true with a lot of Central America and indo pacific regions , a lot of weapons started as farming tools , the Japanese Kama and even the nunchaku was used for beating down the rice patty fields
That’s pretty cool. It’s amazing how their use got tainted.
I was in Camp Afflerbaugh in 1995 with my boy Gerardo. There were 5 dudes from 18 there. We werent gonna let them jump him so they both agreed to fight one at a time. And 1 after another they each came outta that utility room battered bruised and Clever had not a scratch! Lol! Good to see you carnal. STAY UP... Edgar Romero Aka Lil Spider Harbor City... 😉

This is actually funny 😆
I read the comments mid-way through the video & every time he says if you will, I start laughing 🤣🤣
Being from El Salvador its good to know my history. Thank you

listen. LISTEN ! I grew up in Hollywood. My man over here...KNOWS HIS HISTORY ! DUDE IS ACCURATE, PRECISE, EXACT, and 100 with it. I’m not Salvadoran but seeing this makes me proud, and happy knowing the story is being exposed accurately explained and told with no bullshit.
Bro said “go ahead “ 375,655 times 😂😂😂
I learned about ms13 in 2nd grade (around 1996) it was crazy. My home boy was from El Salvador he was bad as hell and the teacher told him "we going to send you back to fight war with your uncle and dad" he said they already dead and bust out crying. He was good after that and it wasn't until like 5th grade when I had internet that I researched and had a better understanding of Guatemala, Nicaragua and El Salvador. American history is messed up when you do your research; that's why they trying to block stuff in school now.
Those countries corrupt socialist governments are what destroyed them and continues to keep them down. The United States didn't have anything to do with it.
@@MayorGoldieWilson825 Complete Grade A Horsesh*t! I won’t speak for the others, but Guatemala has always been run by conservatives and right wingers either democratically or through repression. You’re probably one of those morons that thinks stimulus checks are communist. No use in educating blissfully breanded people like you, so i’ll leave it at that.
This is actually so on point. I grew up in LA in the 80s and 90s 🙏
LeRoy Buchanan Poor timing “if you will”
My girl texted me a paragraph & I replied “If you will”. Now she is HEATED! Thanks a lot Gerardo Lopez, if you will.
Lmao
I will say that he is partly correct. MS-13's roots do lay in the Salvadoran Civil War. During the 1980s, the FMLN fought against the right-wing Salvadoran government, who was supported by the Reagan White House. I wouldn't necessarily say it was the entire U.S. government supporting all these right-wing death squads. Remember, at this time, you had the Contras fighting the Sandinistas in Nicaragua and the at the same time, the Guatemalan Civil War was also raging. The White House at the time just saw Latin American lighting up as a pinball machine with Communist uprisings everywhere. In reality, it was the people just tired of being ruled by brutal, right-wing military dictatorships, supported by the U.S., all in the name of sticking it to the Soviet Union and preventing another Cuba from happening. While some may come with the argument that the U.S. was helping these "freedom fighters", in reality, they were helping prop up these brutal repressive military regimes in most cases. The Contras in Nicaragua were brutal, blood thirsty sons of bitches. Massacres of entire villages would occur if they believed that innocent poor peasants supported the Sandinistas. In El Salvador, the right-wing death squads perpetrated so many massacres it is hard to keep count. I once heard a recording of a "military" commander talking about how when they got to a village to look for "subversives", how they proceeded to teach the villagers a lesson. They took all the men and boys to the local watering hole and machine-gunned them to death. Then they took the women and raped them all...."pichirri" is the word he used, which means anally raping the peasant women. Then they shot them all too....all because they were peasants and the death squad believed they were giving support to the rebels. One could ask, why in the fuck would the Salvadorans rise up against their government? Well, when you brutal, military governments suppressing you since the early 1930s, and more than 90% of the arable land in the country owned by 14 families, it makes you wonder. Situations like this gave rise to movements all across Latin America during the 1970s and 1980s....it was no different in Nicaragua with the Sandinistas, and during the Guatemalan Civil War. The history of U.S. intervention in Latin America dates back to the late 19th century and it hasn't exactly been a pretty one. If you are skeptical of this, read up on the Banana Wars, the United Fruit Company (Chiquita Brands), the Invasion and Occupation of the Dominican Republic & Haiti in 1916, Augusto Sandino, Farabundo Marti, Guatemalan president Jacobo Arbenz...overthrown by U.S. intelligence in Operation PBSuccess, Anastasio Somoza and Anastasio Somoza DeBayle. By the way, that last part connects to other topics as Rick "Freeway" Ross, Danilo Blandon, the Contras, Oliver North, Guadalajara Cartel, Enrique "Kiki" Camarena (yes, Narcos), Gary Webb, and the Crack Cocaine Epidemic.
Who are u?
@@dougspizman6751 Just a guy who reads and studies a lot of history...from different points of view. 😁
@@jeffmejia1573 not questioning ur reading skills, just surprised u said he was partly right. I figured he would have an up close view of the situation.
@@dougspizman6751 ah, i hear ya. Completely understand. In that respect, then yes, he has an up close view. However, from my understanding, the "13", for example, didnt get added to the name for the reasons he stated. Yes, the "13" stands for the letter M, which is the 13th letter in the alphabet. But the number was added at some point in the early 90s, just like most Hispanic gangs in Southern California. The number 13 stands for the letter M, which is also an homage to La Eme, aka the Mexican Mafia. All Hispanic gangs in So Cal who operate in Eme controlled territory have to pay homage and taxes to La Eme. Mara Salvatrucha 13 answers to the Mexican Mafia, just like Florencia 13, and others that answer to them. In the early 90s, when many high ranking members of La Eme were paroled into the streets, they began consolidating thier power in many of these neighborhoods where Hispanic gangs operated. La Eme put a stop to all the drive-by shootings n stuff and organized all the gangs. They would answer to the Mafia and charge taxes to anyone selling drugs in their territories. If any gangmember violated any of the rules put forth by the Mafia, then whenever said gangmember became incarcerated, he would be dealt with swiftly by La Eme behind bars. At least that s the way I understood many years ago.
@@dougspizman6751 There are many more gangs with the number 13 that fall under this umbrella....Venice 13, Culver City 13, Toonerville Rifa 13, and so on. At the same time, there are others who fall under the umbrella of La Eme who do not have the 13 added to their name, like the Avenues.
When this guy was learning English he must have heard someone he thought seemed really intelligent punctuate a metaphor with "if you will" and it just hit him _SO_ different.
The word "ehhh" has officially evolved.
"Aye homie, let's get some forties and hyenas, if you will"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love the way Gerardo talks man, he sounds so cool. The Latino way of saying ‘Los Angeles’ is just sick.

It's original a Spanish name so...
@@robmendoza1030 City of Angels =English (US dialect), Los Angeles = Spanish......... "The Original way"????

George is so intricate on describing how unfulfilling the gang life is.It’s very sad. Congrats on the 180 tho. Let’s hope the youth can see how misguided the gang life truly is through Mr. Lopez program. Good luck to you all.

You can tell dude is solid out the gate. @26:00 solidified he built different than most, especially vlad
I hear a lot of guys speak about gangs and prison having gone through that myself for a third of my young life, & I can spot phony's when I hear them pretty much right off the bat.
