He never embraced the Red or Blue, and he was admired by both sides now that's real RESPECT, a street Legend just like Raymond Burns RIP , Kev thanks capturing this before the OG passes away
I love how the OG's got down. They remind me of the elders who helped raise me. They forced me to do well in school, but taught me the rules of the street. There were three main rules, show respect and you get it back, don't get into other people's business, and if I act like i'm bout it, I better be about it.
You in Manchester
Just when I think, "this was the best interview so far". That's when Kev drop other fire joint.
I'm like 30 years younger than this man we both are from Watts and I still remember hearing the stories about how good he was with his hands and how he use to break niggaz jaws and knock niggaz out this man is a fuckin legend in my city...good to finally put a face with the name Eastside Watts respect.
MR. PYGMY SAID HE FOUGHT ONLY WHEN NECESSARY!...GOOD ONE KEV..ENJOYED INTERVIEW!
That's a stand up guy from a different time, indeed. Gotta give him props for handling his business, especially for a little guy---much respect. Fitting he would be called Pygmy. The pygmy tribes in Africa are known for being short, but tough as nails. Great interview of an urban legend
I wanna thank you Kev Mac for these OG interviews...me and my brother went to Gompers and then Locke Hi from 69 to 75 so we grew up knowing these gangs and where they hung out. We weren't in a gang but we knew to get outta dodge when they showed up at the school...we made it out safe and sound.
It's nothing like hearing it from the horses mouth! True facts, real history! Kev Mac, Historian, Documentarian, Journalist, producer and A real muthafuckin G! Much props playa!
Just three dudes?! Hold on it down?
Damn!! Must be the hardest fists ever.
Heard This Man’s Name In About 3-4 Videos. 💪🏿✊🏿 Good To Actually Put A Visual To The Name And It’s Great To Still See Him Alive And Well

I'm 41...n I remember The pygmies was feared for real. I'm from the Blue Gates and as a youngster going to 102nd Street Elementary in the early 80s. Is when I first heard of the pygmies and the reason why they was feared to me n my section was because you never heard nothing good about them. They was like the real life BÈBÈ Kids. And Kids that was older than me used to scare us with shit like, "you don't want to go to the projects over there ...them pygmies gon get you". Now you know they ain't no joke when it's just three brothers and they did they thang from the 50s all the way until the 90s. N he still around. Str8 Watts Legend for real. And I think it also had something to do with them being some ugly and dusty ass niggas that got clowned that made them chase and jump people. Becuz I remember seeing them or thought we saw them...or somebody said, "there go the pygmies!!"....n we just running bac across Wilmington fast never really looking bacc to see them...but I do remember they was dusty lil project kids fasho. Lmmfao.
Bro you got me on the 🛋 😂😂😂😂😂. This comment should have more likes I dropped my phone laughing so hard
Heard this man name in dam near every interview from the east side/watts. Now to put a face to the name is cool! What im getting from these interviews is optimism that this killing shit will get played out and we go back to having fun and getting money!

Kev Mac I wat h all your videos I love the history. I’ve always been Interested in gangs and their history. I ask my older cousins about our own gang history here up north in Sacramento where I’m from. I did 5 years and would see all these sets tatted on the brothas in the pens I been too old Folsom Corcoran I read books on gangs man I’m just a history buff. Your videos and interviews shed light on a lot and the younger generation should watch these as educational and a way to deter them from gang life.
Andy Nieves we gotta get something started like this in Sac. My dad's side originated the DPH Bloods and my mom from the mid-80s OPB era, fam from all kinds of hoods. I enjoy talking to my people bout them older days too and soaking up game...
Yep I’m from VNS just on the other side of the levee from the heights I went to Grant.
Andy Nieves word yep I'm from Grand Ave, Elm St side all that. I live in Virginia but I be in and outta Sac all the time, I'll be back again in April, one of the things I am thinking bout is starting one of these type of docs about Sac history, it's a lot if untold stories from the bity...
Shout out VNS, I met a couple of your homies a few years back at a party in the Manors...
Kev Mac salute u been blessing all year
The way he described jimel got me in tears 🤣🤣🤣

The Pygmies had a fierce reputation I understand. According to the above they were so respected and feared that each brother individually could walk the streets almost anywhere alone and not be bothered. They were Watts/Compton legends. People in the hood KNEW who the real players were. No fakes. So this rep had to be EARNED. So where did this fierce rep come from? At about the 13:05 he says that they didn't rob, didn't kill, or didn't jack anybody. He already said they didn't terrorize the neighborhoods. So what struck fear in the hearts of people in south central LA? Well, Pygmy would have us believe it was all due to shoplifting! What? At 12:34 he tells us his crew would send some sexy chicks inside a store to preoccupy men working in the store so he and his crew could go in fleecing the place. Wow! That's funny. He was able to strut the streets of Watts because he was a master shoplifter? Naw, people there knew who to watch, and who not to fuck with. The violent aspect of all he did? He says "people just say all that stuff about them." Yeah, right.
Pygmy's got to know the police are watching this video, and so he's got to tone down a lot of that violence and mayhem shit he and his crew did. He figures (rightfully so) that he's too old to be going back and doing time in the big house. So it's "be careful talking to Kev Mac, watch what you say." So did everybody get this dude's reputation wrong including ALL those other gangstas? He was just a glorified shoplifter? That's funny! Nobody is buying any of it, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do to stay out of trouble.
Del Stanley I think we all read between the lines
Ok kev Lol stay dropping gems
Digging on the history. Much love & respect.
Yo Kev you need to make a real movie with actors using all these stories. Keep up the good work.
Good interview Kev Mac keep doin yo shit
Him and Studderbox can go for relatives. A lot of physical resemblance and mannerisms.
Galvatron its the 👓 lol
Jordan Bryant maybe so 😂
The glasses huh
Classic!
Good videography.the background and how you make him stand out
Good shit homey
Kev Mac bruh you dropping 🔥🔥🔥🔥like MJ dropped them 6 threes in 92 against Portland
e A 4444444 Life
That was stupid
The Pygmies had shit on lock... They the reason why we got the 105 freeway lol
Tony Gudgrape how
Still wondering... BS
There is no freeways build because of GANGS. One-way roads (Denver Lane Gangster Bloods, city changed their roads to one-way roads to less gang activity. Demolished buildings (69 East Coast Crips apartment buildings demolished to less gang activity and on a same way lights never change to red)
"we didn't rob"
*Just got finished telling a story how he snuck in the back of stores while chicks did they're decoy thing and steal out of safes* 😂😂
Karl Slaggerfeld obviously that’s not robbing. 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Karl Slaggerfeld That's called cat 6urglary.. Ro66ery is like forcefully taken things via strong arm or with weapon .
Basically it's up to the judges judgement what's stealing and what's robbing. They locked me up for robbery when i actually stole a bottle of booze, and pushed a store clerk, so you have to be careful when stealing, if they want to make a robbery out of it you're fucked
My families been telling me stories about the pygmies since i was little growing up in the pj's
Hell yeah!!!!!!
Man Kev I wasn't expecting this one this quik thanks homie..Texas fukin witcha
The real Big Homeyyyyyyyyyyyy!!! I was on the yard with one his sons. Stomp down solid folks. Big Kev Mac good interview. My family go back with his family... LoL.
All I can say is damn Brodie classic after classic I hope out of Towner's is paying attention
niccc fury
Yeah, we're paying attention, and much respect for this history, but stop acting like this is the only history!!!
"Black Spade's" who was from the BX, and then spread throughout N.Y. had a history parallel to the Crips. And they started around late 60's just like the Crips. They had different chapters like sets. They were the ones who were responsible for the early birth of "breakdancing" called "up rocking". Like how the Crips have the "C-walk" after they would fight, the Spades would "up rock" before they would go to war!!!
And they were started so that they could bang on white gangs and the racist corrupt NYC police that was abusing their authority, constantly.
It's too much history out here from many different places to say that one place has a better history than everyone else in my opinion!!!
MADNEW YORKER no disrespect but y'all should have kept ya original gangs like the decepts the low life the moment y'all got that crip & blood shit y'all feel off now and for the record y'all need to do something about them rappers claiming ya sets they are making new York look terrible out here real talk I been to New York and back then u guys had ya own swagg y'all o.g. don't control nothing over I'm not saying to diss but it's true
Look at OG hands. I can tell he was layin demos

NO ONE DOES IT LIKE KEVMAC AUTHENTIC PYGME INTERVIEW
Donald "Pygmy" Cowans the 2nd under Doc Holliday BGF......is that the same brother he mentions?
From hearing his name a lot in the other videos I expected bruh to be a big nigga. He must got dynamite in dem hands.
"Is there any truth to claims that you guys used to steal or rob"?
"NO, we never did"
20 seconds later: "We used to go into stores and rob the safe."
He was a Cat burglar...
Raised on the Eastside of town...I love these gems...
You call me Pigmy again I'ma f!!k you up that's how Alfred talked when he was younger. Like Jimmy Lavender said they had a crew Little Earnest, Little Jerry, Angelo, Leon, Chris Jones, Ricky, Cliff Wayne, Freddie Tate, Lionel Tate, Mark Tate, Grand Dad and more all got hands. But Alfred stood out the most when it came to chunking. His knuckles done damage. Alfred is a family man raised all of his children I might be wrong but I apologize if I am but I think I recalled him telling me that he was into ballet like he already let Professor Melly Mel Da Hood Postman know that he love riding horses.
Damn f13 been racist fir 50 plus years
I see you upgraded that camera. Looking good
kevmac got the Business!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Solid straight up #Original
Love my uncle Alfred mane fa death tho #Pigmies&TATES Rip Shirley Tate & Freddie Tate the originators and Florence Tate my Mama
Everybody in the Hood was claiming to be a Pygme. I was asking if I was a Pygme when I was a kid. Lol.
💯💯💯💯💯I respect the history & elders
I grew up in the Jordan down back in the seventies early seventies I had the pleasure to meet Donald and Ronald and also their sister Julie
Key Mac in his bag!!
Streets cleared out when this cats name echoed down the block. That's some Omar from the wire shit except I picture Bushwick bill coming around the corner. Respect
Imagine if this dude was your grandpa
Kev, you have asked about WCW on several occausions...This is relevent to the Watts Story, but more so to the late 70's early 80's...Like the OG just said, there were not a lot of Mexican's around at the time...But Colonia Watts, was growing. They even had several Black members, I know all the ones around my age, 50's as of now. But, WVG ran WATTS, or at least that area. Both Mexican, and Black! The beef really jumped off with WcW, when they killed the homie BUBBLES, my homie, and friend, a Black member of Grape St. This was late 70's early 80's. Even the Mexican Grape's put in work for BUBBLES! Man, I can see his face as I speak...smh. Shout out to his FAM, OG Mice, and Tanya. GIP BUBBLES, gone early, but never forgotten...smh
No Bang damn.
Yeah Kev, real talk!!! Keep doing you homie. I know it was said, you like to gamble...man, you didnt want to gamble with the Pygmies!!! (Til,) (Ben) man, they had "Lick'z" on the dice...lol.
@No Bang Its Said Watts Colonia Weigand Was The 1st Gang In Watts.
Is This True ?
What's crazy is how none of these brothas really know about the hispanics in their own area.
WCW been there, Hickory St, Elm St they been there.
None of the brothers interviewed so far seem to know anything about old hispanic Hoods. It's almost as if hispanics didn't exist lol.
ComplexBlackness ive noticed that too lol maybe it was becuz there was less tention between blacks & mex.i remember in jimmy lavenders interviews he says elm st watts was part of bishops, and in tyrone tates interview he says WVG was mex & black. maybe WCW was futher away from the projects so they never really came across them
Droppin bak 2 bak classics bro
@ KEV Mac how do we get in contact with Alfie .. An also Bird from the interview you did with him was also legendary !!
He jus vouched for Jamil..Barnes ain’t lyin
salute to the homeboys from watts just know some of the strongest dudes came from COMPTON GRANDEES/Nutty BLOCC and out of watts
Gangsta
I used to live in Watts and I remember the Pygmies!
