“Cause I’m really a nice guy” as he admits to saying his entire life’s mission has been in commission to kill as many Rollin 60’s as possible, MONSTER was charismatic as hell 😂
He is a nice guy he's just a product of his environment. That's why he said hes said battling with himself because he's fighting his demons each day knowing in his heart he doesn't want that life
A "nice guy" would still have to adapt to being forced into a war zone right? Similar to an actual soldier in opposition with enemies abroad, except cats from the hood don't get to end a "tour of duty" and come back to civilization, they're in it 24/7.
@@NickyP1 Wrong because gang members can just up and leave at anytime… they aren’t forced to stay in the hood… mater of fact a lot of them do leave eventually once they realize what they’re doing is pointless… ones that stay are the ones that want to be there.

***** If you plant a seed in tainted soil, and that seed grows to be a fucked up plant... do you blame the plant or the fact that the seed was planted in fucked up soil in the first place?
He violated his parole because in order to live with his wife and children and obtain a job he needed to live outside of the city which was deemed a violation of parole even though all he did was get a job outside of the area he was allowed. I agree he did kill people which is wrong but he was sent to jail (most recently) because he beat a drug dealer who was trying to coerce people into drugs and gang life (which is also wrong). he was sentence for 17 years for this BECAUSE of his previous record. He changed his name because of his adoption of the Muslim religion and his attempt to leave the gang life.
I see another conspiracy nut... How about quite making excuses and focus on changes in attitude? Like maybe working at a low paying wage starting out ain't a bad thing? Becoming successful in a trade and speaking proper English ain't a sellout? Your own people keepin ya down with all that "real ni66a" crap?
He ain't lying. I lived in the 60's hood at that time 8-trays used to roll through the hood with their lights off blasting every day. Peddie Wack, poochie, lil man, huckabuck use to blast on them daily as well with the sawed off 12-gauge. OG forgot to mention that they use to ride mopeds 30 deep with the kickstand down scraping the asphalt.
This interview reminds me of the hood classic "dead homies" these brothas can tell their stories in amazing fashion and obviously could've done so much more with their lives it's a sad reality in urban areas

1986...I’m on the bus on Crenshaw going home from chillin with my girl. She lived by Florence. I’m a b-boy / graffiti writer. There’s this other kid my age(16) on the bus...he catches a tag. Suddenly this dude ...monster...gets up from a seat and says to the kid “don’t be tagging in my hood! Get the fuck off the bus!”. Then he looks at me and says to the kid “see this dude is respectful...he’s down”. I was like thank god I hadn’t tagged. He made the kid get off on 60th st. At night. Was probably fine but that hood does get sketchy after dark. As an example...same kinda evening...I’m walking down Florence approaching Crenshaw. A cop is gonna turn right on to Crenshaw. A minivan pulls up on the left side of the cops. The side door opens and somebody starts firing into the cop car. I didn’t go see what happened. Just bailed onto a side street and kept walking to a different bus stop. I was lucky...or oblivious/dumb but somehow I never got fucked with.
@@millardfilmore1403 I’m not the type to lie or make up stories....but ...I suppose.. possibly it was a dude with the same nickname and look. It was a different kid on the bus that ...about 5 minutes after ..said to me “ dude..that guys name is monster ..he’s from my neighborhood”. Idk. I’ve had a million different bizarre things happen in my life.
Crenshaw and Florence is the middle of Rollin 60s neighborhood which are enemies to ETG. I grew up in the area. Highly unlikely Monster would be riding that bus especially in 86.
@@davidthomas8113 ..dude...obviously it’s rollin 60s hood. That’s literally a few blocks from there. People in LA don’t just stay in their hood. As a graffiti writer I myself have been through every gang hood in Los Angeles. From V13 ..Venice sho-line...Culver City stoners...Sawtelle to dead end harpies...rock wood street locos ..18th st...MS...all the way to valley gangs like Blythe st. Etc etc. I myself am from the graffiti crew known as Thee KSN crew ..King Size Nuts..LA. We are down with fellow crews like WCA...CBS...UTI...AWR...MSK. I went to Taft high in the valley. Until they kicked me out. Class of 88. Same as Ice cube. Cube is not a friend of mine but he’d remember me. He’d say “oh yeah...that white hip hop kid”. I’m better friends with Yomo who also made a record with Dre at that time (88-ish). I’ve been to dre’s studio. I hung with cypress hill when they were called 7A3. I’ve hung at ice T’s house and I’m clapping in the back ground on his “soul on ice” record. Speaking of the RTD...I met one of my lifelong best friends on the bus in 85. His name is Divine styler. Divine still produces music with some of our other old friends. My bad...to the og monster...as I said in my reply to him. All I know is exactly what I said in my reply to him. I’m 50yrs old. I was 16 in 86. And as I said before...I’m a b-boy...graf writer...not a gangster. I’ve had a crazy life. Some of the things I’ve seen and done would trip you out. Here’s one humorous example- In 89 I lived in the “palms” district...by palms and motor. We used to have crazy parties. I lived on a street called Vinton. There was a small crip gang that sold rock on the street there. They were called the vinton avenue husltas. One day me and my crew threw a party and since I was drunk and feeling good I decided to invite one of the lil crip dudes in. So I went out and invited this one dude...Philip ..over. He came in and got his drink on etc. years and years later...in like 90something I’m sitting at someone’s house and MTV is on and the news breaks that snoop dog is being accused of murder. Then they show the picture of the victim...sure enough...it’s that lil crip dude Philip. Classic example of the weird shit in my life. Anyway...take it easy homie...peace.

I've saw and been around both blue and red sets as a youth, and yes it is a shame blacks are against blacks, but that's what happened when gangs originated. No, I've not opened up a boxing gym or anything like that, but who do you think the youth would listen to more: An educated black man from the urban area? Or a rapper from the urban area?
+Corian Griffin well I turn around 5 gang members as well as talk to the youth I know first hand from what can happen in the streets . An I'm no rapper I'm a reform street dude who done witnesses to many lil homies die at the end of the day it's about the youth. An the white comment was a joke
demarez wilkerson it's all good with the white thing. Rappers like lil Wayne who aren't even from California, need to stop making all of these gang songs. The youth listens to that, then they try to do it. Much love on turning five gang members away from gang banging.

He violated his parole because in order to live with his wife and children and obtain a job he needed to live outside of the city which was deemed a violation of parole even though all he did was get a job outside of the area he was allowed. I agree he did kill people which is wrong but he was sent to jail (most recently) because he beat a drug dealer who was trying to coerce people into drugs and gang life (which is also wrong). he was sentence for 17 years for this BECAUSE of his previous record.
He changed his name because of his adoption of the Muslim religion and his attempt to leave the gang life.
I see another conspiracy nut... How about quite making excuses and focus on changes in attitude? Like maybe working at a low paying wage starting out ain't a bad thing? Becoming successful in a trade and speaking proper English ain't a sellout? Your own people keepin ya down with all that "real ni66a" crap?
He ain't lying. I lived in the 60's hood at that time 8-trays used to roll through the hood with their lights off blasting every day. Peddie Wack, poochie, lil man, huckabuck use to blast on them daily as well with the sawed off 12-gauge. OG forgot to mention that they use to ride mopeds 30 deep with the kickstand down scraping the asphalt.
This will never get old....

This interview reminds me of the hood classic "dead homies" these brothas can tell their stories in amazing fashion and obviously could've done so much more with their lives it's a sad reality in urban areas
Rest In Peace OG Monsta Kody
How he die?
@@LTay12 stroke
Battling demons.
That goes to show u that in LA the stupidest minor shit can turn two allied street gangs into mortal enemies
Marcus Hill well somebody died thats major in my book
mike hancho but It was over a bitch & look what it caused
I remember Monsta Kody when i was a youngsta. Well known even on the WestSide of LA.
he WAS from the westside of LA? wasn't he
+YoungKoolness17 He mainly grew up on 70th & Denker in L.A. The main crosstreets of his neighborhood being Florence & Normandie!
He's FROM the west side.West Side Eight Trey Gangster Crips WS ETGC (3xs)
MONSTER I BOUGHT YOUR BOOK MAN I LIKED IT...SOMEONE BORROWED IT NEVER RETURNED IT. He reminds me of my homie bird SGC CRIP BACK IN THE EIGHTIES
This isn't his channel. Search Sanyika Shakur that's his channel.
+LELAND LEE I purchased it in the early 90z and have re-purchased a few times and I don't have one copy of it because people borrow it and it is a rap. I did a report on it in college 2011,the class loved it.

It's unhealthy how many times I've watched this
Lmao....
Love hearing OGs tell stories they be funny asl😭
It's always a sucker that gotta bring a gun now everyone gotta carry pistols
Had a problem, ex friend almost murdered my homies brother over a chick. Lon story short 4 masked men broke into his house looking for him, pistol whipped him and took off with some of his stuff and he is wanted in LA county with multiple charges out. We live in the suburbs. Didn’t grow up here but there are suburb kids who need to go the extra length to prove themselves to the streets. Have to upgrade my security staff after this happened.
It does take a coward to use weapons mostly but sometimes you gotta use weapons.

"both big youngsters" gets me every time
He said in the Kevmac interview DaddyFatty was built like a 47yr old trucker
“ and I’m really a nice guy” I think he was sincere when he said that.
You don't know what a nice guy is.
You do not know what a nice guy is.
You stupid too?
I salute him.he changed his life around.been through hell and back.sometimes people are down to earth but nieborhood and the environment play a role in their upbringing
1986...I’m on the bus on Crenshaw going home from chillin with my girl. She lived by Florence. I’m a b-boy / graffiti writer. There’s this other kid my age(16) on the bus...he catches a tag. Suddenly this dude ...monster...gets up from a seat and says to the kid “don’t be tagging in my hood! Get the fuck off the bus!”. Then he looks at me and says to the kid “see this dude is respectful...he’s down”. I was like thank god I hadn’t tagged. He made the kid get off on 60th st. At night. Was probably fine but that hood does get sketchy after dark. As an example...same kinda evening...I’m walking down Florence approaching Crenshaw. A cop is gonna turn right on to Crenshaw. A minivan pulls up on the left side of the cops. The side door opens and somebody starts firing into the cop car. I didn’t go see what happened. Just bailed onto a side street and kept walking to a different bus stop. I was lucky...or oblivious/dumb but somehow I never got fucked with.
americanamusica13 wtf gah bless
Lies.
@@millardfilmore1403 I’m not the type to lie or make up stories....but ...I suppose.. possibly it was a dude with the same nickname and look. It was a different kid on the bus that ...about 5 minutes after ..said to me “ dude..that guys name is monster ..he’s from my neighborhood”. Idk. I’ve had a million different bizarre things happen in my life.
Crenshaw and Florence is the middle of Rollin 60s neighborhood which are enemies to ETG. I grew up in the area. Highly unlikely Monster would be riding that bus especially in 86.
@@davidthomas8113 ..dude...obviously it’s rollin 60s hood. That’s literally a few blocks from there. People in LA don’t just stay in their hood. As a graffiti writer I myself have been through every gang hood in Los Angeles. From V13 ..Venice sho-line...Culver City stoners...Sawtelle to dead end harpies...rock wood street locos ..18th st...MS...all the way to valley gangs like Blythe st. Etc etc. I myself am from the graffiti crew known as Thee KSN crew ..King Size Nuts..LA. We are down with fellow crews like WCA...CBS...UTI...AWR...MSK. I went to Taft high in the valley. Until they kicked me out. Class of 88. Same as Ice cube. Cube is not a friend of mine but he’d remember me. He’d say “oh yeah...that white hip hop kid”. I’m better friends with Yomo who also made a record with Dre at that time (88-ish). I’ve been to dre’s studio. I hung with cypress hill when they were called 7A3. I’ve hung at ice T’s house and I’m clapping in the back ground on his “soul on ice” record. Speaking of the RTD...I met one of my lifelong best friends on the bus in 85. His name is Divine styler. Divine still produces music with some of our other old friends. My bad...to the og monster...as I said in my reply to him. All I know is exactly what I said in my reply to him. I’m 50yrs old. I was 16 in 86. And as I said before...I’m a b-boy...graf writer...not a gangster. I’ve had a crazy life. Some of the things I’ve seen and done would trip you out. Here’s one humorous example- In 89 I lived in the “palms” district...by palms and motor. We used to have crazy parties. I lived on a street called Vinton. There was a small crip gang that sold rock on the street there. They were called the vinton avenue husltas. One day me and my crew threw a party and since I was drunk and feeling good I decided to invite one of the lil crip dudes in. So I went out and invited this one dude...Philip ..over. He came in and got his drink on etc. years and years later...in like 90something I’m sitting at someone’s house and MTV is on and the news breaks that snoop dog is being accused of murder. Then they show the picture of the victim...sure enough...it’s that lil crip dude Philip. Classic example of the weird shit in my life. Anyway...take it easy homie...peace.
Such a great story teller. History.Facts
Just found out about Monster kody, heard his name many times. Damn brotha had brovado. Rip an original gangsta
“Been at war with myself cuz I’m really a nice guy.” dat part
It's crazy how the dude that started the war between 60's and Treys had only been put on 2 days prior. That's the craziest trolling I've ever heard of.
Can't really say what would have happened if he didn't do that shit but hey I bet he didn't look back once they all started shooting each other
@@visualbliss9993 That story is a lie. You think they take a guy with them they didnt knew claiming the set then that one shoots? So he wasnt living inside the almost tiny 8 tray zone? Kody is full of BS!
@@stillgotyourmom - you are a liar by nature that’s why you suspect it. Having no clue how it goes in south LA, yet running your mouth. Fool.
I could listen to these stories ALL DAY
You'd love prison then, that's all they do.
This man is 57 now. If he is still alive.
He’s still alive but he’s in prison
@@PikeandShotEra u sure about that ?
@@PikeandShotEra OH s%^t really. .. for life?
He’s not in any California prison. Check CDCR Inmate locator. Not in LA County either.
@@wongfu82 I don't think he's in prison
after reading comments i just got reminded of how low a level this nation is at thinking cognitively.
Lol Really?
Yea I say the same thing about christians
Why talk shit? Especially when your statement lacks proper structure when taking into account that you failed to use punctuations and capital letters while degrading Americans for our lack of education?
“ I just got reminded”......I was reminded. “How low a level this nation”.......this nation has a low level.
You dumb dick.....you judge a nations intelligence and cognitive thinking based off of a comment section of RUclips.......really! Last I checked your nation committed war crimes and had to be nuked into silence.......you hear that. It’s us erasing your history.
@@Theshow1797 hahahahhhaaa...
I read this guy's book when I was a kid. The first book I actually loved to read. Monster by Kodi Scott
HI FROM AUSTRALIA. Same here. I can't find a copy of it anywhere.
If y’all do the math, this was recorded in 1997. 23 years ago
Damn ...
Or 1998 if his birthday is late 63
The 90's foo'. It's 1997. We talkin' the 90's.
It was recorded in May or June 1998 because in the documentary he was reading a magazine that came out in May 1998
This video is 26 years old, at the time they recorded this, they had already been beefing for 20 years, half a century of beefing
Yes it was recorded around '97/'98. The documentary came out in 2000
"I've been to war with not only the muthafuckas around me and my muthafucking myself but I'm really a nice guy" damn product of his environment.
What’s crazy is most of those bangers out there who died or fighting decades later didn’t even know this story. If they did I wonder
they all have they own story they own homies that passed from this shit
“cuz i’m really a nice guy” that caught me off guard lmfao
"Sixties come to the hood though" you see the look on his face when he was naming the og six O's 😂
“I went to 7th grade... AND THAT WAS ITTT” 😂😂 got me there basically said “Well fuck”
This man was 15 years old when the war started. His OGs were probably 17,18…. Just take a second to think about that. He tells the story from the perspective of a grown man but they were kids. Big Rebo story of how he first got down, he was 16 as well. Protect your kids man. Put ‘em in a good environment, and keep your hands on em so they thrive.
This dude’s book is LEGEND!
When he said “boom bap bap boom bow”
I felt that
His Monster book is one of the best books I ever read. Thanks to my gang college course I know who this guy is.
You had a gang college course?

@iceberg slim11 A true warrior who just chose the wrong route and fell into the trap designed to catch so many of us. I have respect for the man because he deserves to be respected. Had he choose another route he would have been equally successful.

Throwing his life away...

Much love and respect to the crip gang. It's a shame we are over here killing each other though
Lol you white
demarez wilkerson No demarez, I am not white; I am an African American Male who has been in college for eleven years and has two degrees. What about you?
demarez wilkerson demarez, I'm born and raised in west coast California, and that is where I live at to this very day. I've saw and been around both blue and red sets as a youth, and yes it is a shame blacks are against blacks, but that's what happened when gangs originated. No, I've not opened up a boxing gym or anything like that, but who do you think the youth would listen to more: An educated black man from the urban area? Or a rapper from the urban area?
+Corian Griffin well I turn around 5 gang members as well as talk to the youth I know first hand from what can happen in the streets . An I'm no rapper I'm a reform street dude who done witnesses to many lil homies die at the end of the day it's about the youth. An the white comment was a joke
demarez wilkerson it's all good with the white thing. Rappers like lil Wayne who aren't even from California, need to stop making all of these gang songs. The youth listens to that, then they try to do it. Much love on turning five gang members away from gang banging.
