WOW!!!! 8 gang member leaders from the biggest legendary gangs in LA and one professional baseball player... That's school must be the most legendary of all schools in the country
The Black Avenues got their name from where they lived. Streets such as Central, Hooper and Compton Ave. I say black Aves for all those who aren't from L.A. there is a hispanic gang called Avenues. They have been around for a long time and have a real rep. Including being racist.
I thought part one was good and you pulled a Godfather II on us with this one. This cat has a lot of info, too bad the younger generations are not jumping on your product. From most of the comments I see, many of us are the second or third wave after the cats like Jimmy. The age of CJ and KEV. We were either around and in things at that time or saw what went on as observers. We can appreciate these icons who were around at the beginning. We were all hard headed at some point, but knowledge and history Kev is bring us should be viewed by a lot more. Especially cats in the game. Kev, you may want to hit up some colleges and book speaking engagements if some of these cats are down.Especially the positive cats who are trying to better themselves and their communities. Let the civilians get the real stories from real people, not what the mainstream media deems as fact.
Kev Mac and Big U was on instagram live talking about this man was hating on Raymond Washington Lol.. But I feel the OG was speaking his truth on the man.I did find it hilarious tho when they mentioned him Lol.. Cause he was hard on Raymond Washington during these interviews. But to say the man was hating is much of a stretch!
I dont even believe its hating probably the truth. Cause the crips was bullying people even their own admitted it. So to think raymond wasnt a bully is funny
darrion yust ...I respect your opinion.....I never dislike Raymond we never broke friendship...I dislike like the terrorising of our people's...The same with Munson....He's still a family friend.....Thousands have died from what he started how as a black man could I like this..
Jimmy Lavender Peace OG Jimmy, ok I'm from NYC and know very little about Bloods. You mentioned that Bloods wasn't something that was on the scene when you were around. Let me ask you, because brothers IN NYC seem to debate alot over this. Can you clarify this please. Did all those gangs such as Bishops, Piru, Slausaan, bounty Hunter, rolling 20s, Athens park all unite under the banner of Blood to fight the crips and protect their areas because the crips were terrorising the area? In that sense, Blood would be a honorable movement. Is that why and how Blood started?
This obvious when you read tookie book. He said him and Raymond went to see munch and the avenues and munch talked bad to him. Blue rage and black redemption tell a lot.
what up Kev. I seen the lil video u did of banker t. that was my mom's brother.. I showed her and my grandmother that video and it was a lil emotional but happy to c him on video. rip uncle Lonnie Patterson aka OG banker t from RSC
I may b able too.. I gotta contact my grandmother and possibly have her send me whatever she can. but I know for sure she has a lot of pics. maby putting together a lil something in his honor. I believe my mother said she knows you. her name is Carolyn Patterson
I seen this video already. It’s so viscous Imma watch it again until tomorrow night’s Bebop Watts premiere!!! Kev Mac be havin me on the edge of my seat.
The Avenues were influenced by a Slauson who name I won't mention until I do my interviews lol. I never heard about Munson knocking out Raymond, but I do know that Raymond was at least Jumped on by them. Also I know of a different incident in which Raymond got knocked out on a street Corner.
Mannnn holdup!!! Kev Mac you coming hard with these real deal OG videos lacing our chucks with this history!!! You are greatly appreciated G!! Keep that real shit flowing mane!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
^^^ That's the REALEST thing anyone said on these yet... nobody is KING of all squabbles, takes real heart to come out alive... sometimes that aint enuff either... nobody bulletproof.... and your gun in your hand dont stop them bullets from coming back your way.
JaySavageTV He wasn't Avg..He was tough but not the toughest..Also fists aren't the only way u stay at Top..It's ur crew and what people are willing to do for u.AND Heart is everything and Raymond had it
Salute this channel debunking all that fake made internet stuff that floating out there for decades.People would be butt hurt to here these OG's about this banging history and foundation. It actual had a code of of ethics and structure to it and a complexity that alot don't no about the B's & C's .It's more than a blue or red rags there a chapter in a rich gang culture that start WAY before that. People think they no but really don't.
Good shit Kev, as always! This is like the Hall of Fame of triple OG's! The ORIGINATORS! The history here is incredible! Back in those days your WORD was bond! That's part of whats missing today! For those that think this is glorifying gang bang culture, I look at it differently. If we or the younger generation can learn where the gang shit start going faulty or wrong then we can learn from that and make the necessary corrections! Salutes!
Kev Mac is The King of This Real G-Shit. No disrespect to the other Brother, but he interviewing OFF BRANDS. I told him it was going to ruin his credibility, but you cant tell anybody anything nowadays. Keep it coming Kev!
8 ogs and a hall of fame shortstop (wasnt a big fan when he played cause im a cubs fan but always admired em) was the reason i wanted to play shortstop in little league
Another Hall of Famer Eddie Murray went to high school wit Locke Ozzie Smith. Don’t know if he went there too. Ozzie the reason I play baseball and can do a backflip
Kev, can we get close ups of other ppl Jimmy showed in the book like Forehead,and Spaceghost. Jimmy should make copies of these pictures, they are history.
It all event seem related. One thing lead to the other. Was there any thing that could have prevented the early gangs? I grew up under Darryl Gate's LAPD (not that Compton PD was better). Not sure which gang was worse. Teenage gangbangers or the police. We were scared of the both. Also, thanks for bringing up martial arts. It was big in the 70s. Not sure if Bruce Lee and the TV show Kung Fu had much to do with it. They taught martial arts at a lot of community centers when I was young. I went to Bret Harte Jr high off 92/Hoover. Crazy times.
That's cool. I know you prefer that to come from the source, but I figured you knew something and might have a contact as well. Thanks for always keeping your stuff 100.
Max max.....Funny you ask how did I survive....Actually I started working in a liquor store right in crip neborhood....I made my announcement and that's all was needed....Now at 62 youngsters wants to kill any og....krazy

He teaches history better than the professors at YALE!!!
You go to Yale?
Lol
The Black Avenues got their name from where they lived. Streets such as Central, Hooper and Compton Ave.
I say black Aves for all those who aren't from L.A. there is a hispanic gang called Avenues. They have been around for a long time and have a real rep. Including being racist.
Yep, in Highland park, with deep ties to the Mexican Mafia. They were killing blacks just because they were black.
+ ComplexBlackness + DragonLo ...Yep....buttholes they are.
Yup. It's kinda obvious, but I guess it should also be clarified, for the slower readers out here.
Jay Smack obvious for who?
DragonLo wow

If its the truth how is it hating?
I dont even believe its hating probably the truth. Cause the crips was bullying people even their own admitted it. So to think raymond wasnt a bully is funny
This series of interviews is one of my favorites
you can tell this dude is trying to be respectful of Raymond Washington but at the same time he didn't really like him growing up
darrion yust ...I respect your opinion.....I never dislike Raymond we never broke friendship...I dislike like the terrorising of our people's...The same with Munson....He's still a family friend.....Thousands have died from what he started how as a black man could I like this..

7:38 left of Jimmy even The Squirrels trying to get a piece of that history.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahhahaah
I kinda wish I grew up in this era, when there was more unity. By the time I was coming up in Compton it was chaos.
Jacqui Robbins shit sound like fun back then ....
*Agree
Me too. I like fighting and not worrying about getting shot. I woulda been running so many fades..
Damn just when I thought it couldn't get any better than Big Nugget you bring this fire!!

The Avenues were influenced by a Slauson who name I won't mention until I do my interviews lol.
I never heard about Munson knocking out Raymond, but I do know that Raymond was at least Jumped on by them.
Also I know of a different incident in which Raymond got knocked out on a street Corner.

Kev Mac on it once again...salute big homie ♿
Raymond might have taken an L ,but I don't think he would have remained leader for so long if he was just average.
spr95que Good point. My pops was a boxer and he always said the only way you don't ever loose a fight is if you don't fight..
^^^ That's the REALEST thing anyone said on these yet... nobody is KING of all squabbles, takes real heart to come out alive... sometimes that aint enuff either... nobody bulletproof.... and your gun in your hand dont stop them bullets from coming back your way.
hRdLNE _CEO damn cuz,that was heavy. send me your book list.
JaySavageTV He wasn't Avg..He was tough but not the toughest..Also fists aren't the only way u stay at Top..It's ur crew and what people are willing to do for u.AND Heart is everything and Raymond had it

That reference to Bad News speaks to the westward expansion of the Bishops... and them forming in what is now the 60s
Another Hall of Famer Eddie Murray went to high school wit Locke Ozzie Smith. Don’t know if he went there too. Ozzie the reason I play baseball and can do a backflip

Ozzie Smith St. Louis Cardinals wow

Kev Mac u shouldve asked him what he knew about The BTMC's. Beach Town Mafia on 95th. and The BGMC's Blue Gate Mafia Crips on 103rd.
Damn bro you could've taken good pics of the people he was pointing out. .
Is that Ozzie Smith of the St.Louis Cardinals???
Yeah
Ronald Jones yes it is he lived in what is now 89ECC hood,i grew up in 92-BISHOP HOOD,my father is Original Bishop with the Lavenders
Damn should've asked if he could chunkem
Kev, can we get close ups of other ppl Jimmy showed in the book like Forehead,and Spaceghost. Jimmy should make copies of these pictures, they are history.
Kev Mac Videos Can you get me in touch with Jimmy?
good interviewz yah shit be having niggaz glued from beginning to end so blood stop banging not to long from the birth of hiz gang interesting
It all event seem related. One thing lead to the other. Was there any thing that could have prevented the early gangs? I grew up under Darryl Gate's LAPD (not that Compton PD was better). Not sure which gang was worse. Teenage gangbangers or the police. We were scared of the both.
Also, thanks for bringing up martial arts. It was big in the 70s. Not sure if Bruce Lee and the TV show Kung Fu had much to do with it. They taught martial arts at a lot of community centers when I was young. I went to Bret Harte Jr high off 92/Hoover. Crazy times.
Much respect to this brother. Seems to be no lying in him.
How you not gonna show a close up on Jimmy in the yearbook? I’m wondering what he looked like in his youth
Thanks Kev
everyone was scared of Raymonds hand game even tookie was afraid to fight him apparently. Monson only slapped him nothing more
kev mac i love your shit man the real shit
I’ve been watching a lot of your videos Mac but I was wondering is their a kev Mac video about kev Mac haha want to know your story as well.
So Bishops had 4 crews in Compton, Westside, Watts and Pueblos. they were big back then
Facts
Creg Monson said out his own mouth he didn’t knock out Ramond he slapped em said he wouldn’t fight him cause he was too young
once again u killed it @kevmac..........salute! Homie memory A1!
Kev, can you comment on Cat Walk? I've heard them mentioned in a couple places, but from what I gather, they no longer exist.
Yeah I can but I prefer it come from someone from the 50s.
That's cool. I know you prefer that to come from the source, but I figured you knew something and might have a contact as well. Thanks for always keeping your stuff 100.
Respect to Jimmy 🙏🏼🙏🏼gotta respect OG’s
R.I.P To Your Brother
Any plans in doing interviews and learning more about guys like Sinister, Baby Lane, B-Brazy and other Bangin on Wax people?
I would have to get my year book out but I believe 8th and also Clandie Clay and Space Ghost was n my classes ever Robert Munson
Kev you A Genius
HE TOLD TRUTH ABOUT WATTS FESTIVAL...IT LATER LOOKED LIKE AN ALL CRIP FESTIVAL
He stopped bangin in '74? That's interesting. I'm wondering how he survived? Did he leave the state?
Max max nope they feared him his brother and the Bishops gang in general. They weren't messing with that Original founder like that
Max max Bra back in the 70's gangbanging consisted mostly of Fighting,very lil gun play,the Cocaine in the 80's brought the cash flow to buy AK's
Max max.....Funny you ask how did I survive....Actually I started working in a liquor store right in crip neborhood....I made my announcement and that's all was needed....Now at 62 youngsters wants to kill any og....krazy
Jimmy Lavender
It's funny how America viewed youth gangs as something kids would grow out of, society morphs and generational organizations develop.
GOOD VIDEO!
