I was in highschool when this came out. One kid who had cable recorded this on VHS and it got passed around the whole school just like Faces of Death, UFC tapes and the movie Kids... Good times✌🏾
I remember this in 1993 I was 13 and thought that gangs was the thing to do. I'm glad I didn't really live that life. When I thought that lifestyle was cool, I had no guidance and was so lost!! I'm grateful for still having my life and not ending up in prison 🙏 Thank you God for saving me 💯🙏
Guidance...you nailed it. If these kids had a positive male role model in the home, it would help, but I doubt any of them do though. It would have helped me, I WAS just like this! You wouldn't believe it to see me today. Thank God I stopped.
This was the gangster music era you might think it is now but this generation started this stuff and it was very interesting and new when it came out nothing like it!! If you didn’t quite fit in this was enticing to you no matter your color but don’t expect you to understand
Fr anybody can claim Gangbang status and normal people will believe them no matter what, bangin comes with crazy street politics and I don’t think these “crip” kids know a damn thing about what they’re spewing
Thank you for putting this back out there!! We need this more than ever nowadays. I live in Philly and it's sad that this video is as relevant today as it was in 94.... Sad that the cycle keeps going seemingly without end 😢
SLOW,BACKWARDS,IGNORANT,POORLY EDUCATED,CLOSED MINDS,SORT OF SUMS UP AMERICA!!!! IF NOT.....REALLY WHY? WHAT A DISCRACE,THE PRISON OFFICERS TAKE PRIDE IN KNOWING WHATS GOING ON....NOT ON TOP OF ANYTHING AMERICA. THE AVERAGE I.Q WOULD BE SO SO MUCH LOWER THAN THE REST OF THE FIRST WORLD ❤ LETS CLEAN AMERICA.....SHOULD BE THE MOTTO
@@Nawojczyk defenetly honorable job. respect from France. I remember when I saw this documentary in 94 in french TV. I understand the tough reality of the street of the American ghettos. thank you!
did u make it to the end? wasn’t all about jokes in the end shit got deep fr fr i really hope people get they shit tg and know what they doing is wrong they need to wake up! stop the violence
I was on drugs and sold drugs for many years. I’ve met people who absolutely did not care to go to prison or die. It was cool to them, it’s all they knew. The person who has nothing to lose is the most dangerous person you will meet.
Steve, I wonder if you would do a 30-year follow-up on how the gangs have changed from 1993 to 2023. It is just a thought from someone who watched this 30 years ago and re-watching it 30 years later. I think it would be so interesting to have your perspective on the issue.
Thats scene where they jumped the girl with the weird teeth into the gang is one of the most embarrassing things I have ever seen. Not a single person in that gang has scrap and if I was a rival gang and I saw that pathetic excuse for fighting I would roll on those dudes immediately for embarrassing the city of Little Rock
That scene with the mother wailing and heartbroken in the church has stayed with me. I hope wherever she is that she has found some peace. Heartbreaking.
What do you expect? Them to beat her to a bloody pulp?? The whole point is to show your loyalty to the group. Makes no sense to want to harm someone who is trying to prove loyalty to the group. Its more of a symbolic initiation ritual. For the guys tho, theres no holding back. She is a white 100lb female. If any one actually hurt her they would be ostracized.
@@PsychotropicThunder based on how she TALKED about it, yes, I expected them to be ABLE to land a punch... they were definitely TRYING, they're just all pussy poser kids who can't fight.
Every neighborhood needs a Steve Nawojczk. If there were more men like this in the world to try and help his fellow man regardless of race, color, or creed and actually trying to relate and learn the slang, and gang politics , this world would be so different. You could tell young Blood was hearin him and if you could change just one or have one man or woman listen, it starts to catch, positivity is like negativity. If you feed them they will grow.
@@Nawojczyk I appreciate that sir. To be honest I wish more people would try and uplift each other. Is that actually you in the videos talkin with these guys and if so sir, you are a true inspiration and I know it makes a huge difference that these young men have someone to tell them there's hope and they haven't been written off because of where they come from and i know from experience, shit I was one of those troubled kids . So thank you sir for the work you do and I guarantee you have saved probably more lives than you even know. Glad I could bring a little positivity and brighten your day , God knows you just made mine.
We do have men like him out there trying to do the best work possible but sadly it'll never change. When you have media controlling the youth with it's toxic music that pushes a negative narrative in a "positive" way it'll always pull the youth in. It's sad to say that there's more people in gangs now than there are soldiers in our service.
It's just not the music specifically, it's the entire American culture(s) at hand. We live in an era where lives are treated without value, and that sentiment is expressed in our art, politics, and the youth. It's been going like this for decades and it ain't getting any better
Man I was born in 83 and when this came out I was fascinated even joined a gang by 13 looking back at 40 now Lord I’m thankful my son is smarter than me cause I was a stupid mf😂
Are you still local Steve? I grew up in Benton and was 14 when this came out in 93..brings back a lot of memories of that era. The WM3 case, etc. Thank you for bringing attention to our community, that took a lot of courage..and you reached the entire nation before the internet era and that is an incredible feat my friend! With respect, Steve
I know some white kids are born in black areas and go school with them so they might pick up their way of talking and behaviour, but these idiots come from Arkansas, very sad they want to be seen as poor, deprived and oppressed, when mummy and daddy are very comfortable in life. They talking about straps and grenades but never a actual one on one fist fight. If some proper gang members pulled up these clowns would shit they diapers and run, they certainly wouldn't be bussing any guns back, embarrassing for their parents
Lmfaooo!!! She said "getting jumped in shows you have heart and will fight back" while she's cowering in the fetal position covering her head 😂🤣💀☠️ Then says "what I don't get no love?!" Hahaha hahaha this was a good laugh for the day.. For the people wondering if she's OK now, she is probably 200+ pounds with 5 kids by multiple guys and living off the state somewhere.
Denver had a similar issue starting in the late 80s, but our gang culture is actually a lot older than the spread of bloods and crips. My Grandpa was in a gang in East Denver Curtis Park area called the Eastside Boys in the 50s and 60s. There were Northside Warlords in North Denver, west side Inca Boyz (were very active in the 80s and 90s, can be traced back to the 70s or 60s), Lipan Boyz (which GKI stemmed from, and are still the biggest Chicano street gang and prison gang in Denver). It got really crazy in the 80s. 1993 was labeled 'Summer of Violence' because of the gang homicides, the five years leading up to 93 were probably worse.
Yeah there's always been gangs but at this time period it was pushed by mass media into the mainstream culture. Government behind it no question. I remember when Colors came out and almost overnight half our middle school was in a gang. It was a ghetto school and kids just needed that nudge😢
Yup. 90,s were lit. It was crazy in Jackson, MS. As bad as it is now..those that remember still talk about the 90's. Funny story about the '70s. My uncle pissed off a local gang and they chased him even through the house. My dad and the other brother were there, and their older brother came through the house, with a gang right behind him..from the front door and out the back. They better be glad that my grandfather wasn't home. He was a boxer and enforcer for some powerful people.
I'm from Denver also.... Whittier neighborhood.... I unfortunately got caught up during the summer of violence I was 13 and ended up doing time in lookout mountain.... in my mid 40s now with adult kids that definitely didn't make bone head mistakes as I did as a young man.... ur history on Denver gang history is on point.... I know a lot of GKIs and others obviously that are either in Jail or no longer with us.... I also know a lot of retired people that have lead productive and successful lives.... point is it's what u take out of life lessons and how u apply them to ur future and how u can give back to the community..... I still have family and a lot of ties in the Eastside.... Fuller Park.... Curtis Park.... 5 points... and even in Park Hill..... I was born and raised in the area...... it's still home for me
Me & my homie was just reminiscing/talkin about this the other day we was teens 13/14 when this 1st came out on HBO great memories of the early/mid 90s.
When I was about 19, DJ Quik's Just Like Compton song dropped..Being from NYC, I didnt take it serious at all back then. Now look at NYC with Blooding and Cripping today!!!! It wasn't a lie.....
Bobby Banks, the "hardest nigha to ever walk the earth" got sentenced to 40 years in prison with 5 years probation to follow it.. in 2006 at the age of 30. He'll be a senior citizen by the time his sentence is done.
I remember watching this as a little kid in the 90s and it stuck with me for a long time. I ended up buying a dvr with this on in from eBay in the mid 00s lol
I got to give Steve a lot of respect he really cared for those kids and really wanted to make a difference. Its ashame there aren't more people like him. And to the mother who lost her son u r in my thoughts and prayers hope u find peace in ur lifetime. 😔
I’m 41 and I’ve been watching this for 30 years.. I seen it in 1994 when it first aired on HBO. I rented it on DVD a few times in the 2000’s and have been watching it on RUclips for over 10 years. I never knew this was meant to be a diss to President Clinton.
I was Arian Brotherhood for 9 years. Started in jail. Getting out was the best thing I did. I didn't want my kids to grow up watching their dad hate and hurt because of race. I didn't want my girls judging others on thier color and race. This is sad to watch. Please take it from me. This is not the way. It wasn't then. It isn't now. 😢😢😢
That white law enforcement officer who went to the hood talking to young people and showing them all the kids that have been killed said "you're an endangered species" he was a real one they dont make many like that.
I was 12 when I watched this and thought how eerily familiar all that looked. It was exactly what Steve said it was and is an epidemic. You were a brave and courageous Human being who saw no color just humans! If the majority of the world were filled with Steve’s who saw everyone as his family we wouldn’t be perfect we would just be a whole lot better!
I remember this show vividly. That one kid “I feel like I’m the hardest n***a to ever walk the earth, can’t nobody fade me…” stays with me to this day… he didn’t survive the filming of this show and probably 95% of the rest of the people in this show died/killed decades ago…
These white kids really go out in gang shootings and shit? Or did drugs and prison take them out? I cant believe these white kids were shooting like crazy etc, they make that shit look like a social club.
This whole documentary had me laughing the entire time 😂🤣 Crazy to know there is clowns out there thinking they are hard but they are really just stupid..
Watched this docu and read about how the prison industrial complex and the record companies had a little agreement back in the 80’s. Promote violent, crime ridden music and glorify it. Make it mainstream and make the artists household name superstars. Then the youth (mostly black and brown in already crime ridden environments) will emulate that and start their path into the prison system.
I remember this timeframe, AND crack was on the scene. I am so grateful that we got thru that stage. I know of some who have been off of crack for over 25 years. I am in Florida, and our communities have changed for the better. I am speaking from boots on the ground. It was much pressure then, and hard to try to control.
I wonder where these kids are today? I grew up in this generation,Gen X,I’m 45 years old. I would love to see a where are they now kinda video and let’s hear about how the whole “my gang is my family “ worked out for them? Who ratted on who, how many are or where in prison,how many are dead. Gangs don’t give a fuck about you but to a teenager,early 20’s with a young impressionable mind it’s easy to fall for this bullshit. But I get it especially the kids that their parents abandoned them. Like the girl that got jumped in her mom left when she was a year old. She obviously doesn’t remember her mom and her dad left at teo which she probably doesn’t remember. I’m sure that she has abandonment issues and how can you blame her. The most important people to her,her parents,walked out on her. I’m sure that they had drug and/or alcohol issues and chose drugs over their kids. It unfortunately happens every day.
i spent a lot of time in New Orleans growing up and Little Rock was legendary for some reason little rock was the place to either lose your life or waste it i personally rather be on a boat in hot springs thats just me
Wow, I somehow missed this back when i was 22 and just discovered it. I'm 52 now and this blows my mind. I get the LA culture, but this is crazy. Wonder if this is still going on, prolly so.
There are real GD and BD in LR who came fro pm Chi. These kids on this video put a target on they back after this because nothing real about them. Had the bloods after them heavy because of all the set trippin on here. I don't know who set them white kids up for failure like that. Lol
This is when HBO was at it's best... HBO in the 90s and the documentaries... nothing like it
Oh yea they had some good movies back in the 80’s & early 90’s
Some movies I can’t remember just a memory.
Meat balls 1-2 was good one
The 2018 "Andre the Giant" documentary by HBO was excellent, IMO.

I know a lot of GKIs and others obviously that are either in Jail or no longer with us.... I also know a lot of retired people that have lead productive and successful lives.... point is it's what u take out of life lessons and how u apply them to ur future and how u can give back to the community..... I still have family and a lot of ties in the Eastside.... Fuller Park.... Curtis Park.... 5 points... and even in Park Hill..... I was born and raised in the area...... it's still home for me
GkI is the biggest Latino gang in and outside?
Me & my homie was just reminiscing/talkin about this the other day we was teens 13/14 when this 1st came out on HBO great memories of the early/mid 90s.
When I was about 19, DJ Quik's Just Like Compton song dropped..Being from NYC, I didnt take it serious at all back then. Now look at NYC with Blooding and Cripping today!!!! It wasn't a lie.....
Huhuhhuaaahhh! Now little Rock, is jus like Compton.
I remember watching this as a kid. They should do a “where are they now” 😂
Bobby Banks, the "hardest nigha to ever walk the earth" got sentenced to 40 years in prison with 5 years probation to follow it.. in 2006 at the age of 30. He'll be a senior citizen by the time his sentence is done.
Growing up in Cleveland Ohio in the 90s was crazy with all the gang wars
They bang in Cleveland? What yall got?
I remember watching this as a little kid in the 90s and it stuck with me for a long time. I ended up buying a dvr with this on in from eBay in the mid 00s lol
Watched this back in the day when it first aired. I can’t help but wonder where they all are now 30+ years later…? 🤔🤷🏻🤙🏻
Hooked on Meth
Cross colours fashion , Karl Kani , starter jackets and snap backs. 90s was great.
LOL, every person on here is a clown.
I got to give Steve a lot of respect he really cared for those kids and really wanted to make a difference. Its ashame there aren't more people like him. And to the mother who lost her son u r in my thoughts and prayers hope u find peace in ur lifetime. 😔
Wtf did i just watch 😂😂😂😂
I 😂😂 in HS when this came out and I still 😂😂 at this all these years later 😂😂😂
I’m losing brain cells every minute I watch this
Why?
It gets incredibly informative and serious towards the end those chalkies are comedic relief lol
Dr Dre's 'The Chronic' had people in a chokehold in 92-93 Lol
I know that see when snoop dogg came out and LA had peace treaty in 92 and snoop came out in 93.
That KK kids house had a pool with a rock waterfall 😂
I would love to see a current interview of these people as adults. I’m sure they got stories to share
They have a part 2. Its here on yt. Gang war 2 back in the hood.
Yeah, stories to share about them suckin dlck in prison
Part 2 is on this channel.
They're all dead...
they are all in prison
😂😂 this is the funny video I've seen in years 😂😂😂
Umust be retarded
Man, i really miss this time in my life. (The 90s) i was born in 1988 and the 90s was just amazing time to grow up. (Outside of this gangbanging)
‘89 here. I feel this to my core, the 90’s were to good.
89 checking in i agree
I’m 41 and I’ve been watching this for 30 years.. I seen it in 1994 when it first aired on HBO. I rented it on DVD a few times in the 2000’s and have been watching it on RUclips for over 10 years. I never knew this was meant to be a diss to President Clinton.
30 years later, this still hits hard. Fantastic documentary.
That jump in was wild lmao 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The look in the dudes face before he swung at her was CRAZY😢, luckily alot of those punches didn't land.
Right sum straight bull shxt 😂😂😂😂
Right shit got me dead asf😂 I bet getting jumped in wasn’t the only thing she got tho lmao
How you airball hits standing a toenail away from the person 😂
not really. was mild imo
I was Arian Brotherhood for 9 years. Started in jail.
Getting out was the best thing I did. I didn't want my kids to grow up watching their dad hate and hurt because of race. I didn't want my girls judging others on thier color and race. This is sad to watch. Please take it from me. This is not the way. It wasn't then. It isn't now. 😢😢😢
Not in California rite? You can't get out of it out here unless you go into protection of some sort
Never leaving this is brotherhood for life
8-8 😮
Respect Brother and nothing but love for your decision.
U are not ab lol
Wonder how many of them are still alive today..... July 30th 2023.
That white law enforcement officer who went to the hood talking to young people and showing them all the kids that have been killed said "you're an endangered species" he was a real one they dont make many like that.
He worked for the morgue
I remember watching this for the first time when I was in prison. Excellent documentary
I was 12 when I watched this and thought how eerily familiar all that looked. It was exactly what Steve said it was and is an epidemic. You were a brave and courageous Human being who saw no color just humans! If the majority of the world were filled with Steve’s who saw everyone as his family we wouldn’t be perfect we would just be a whole lot better!
SUCH A GREAT FILM! SAD HOW MUCH WORSE IT IS TODAY
I remember this show vividly. That one kid “I feel like I’m the hardest n***a to ever walk the earth, can’t nobody fade me…” stays with me to this day… he didn’t survive the filming of this show and probably 95% of the rest of the people in this show died/killed decades ago…
I know that’s their fate when I hear anyone say shit like that..
These white kids really go out in gang shootings and shit? Or did drugs and prison take them out? I cant believe these white kids were shooting like crazy etc, they make that shit look like a social club.
HE GOT 55YRS IN THE FEDS
Bobby banks… if you were a teenager in Little Rock at this time , he was the boogie man lol
This whole documentary had me laughing the entire time
😂🤣 Crazy to know there is clowns out there thinking they are hard but they are really just stupid..
Lol the kid in the Hoyas sweatshirt “stackin” is one of the fuckin best things ever captured on film 😂
Gang is for life and it’s not something you can walk away from 😂😂😂 my boy was just trying to to hang with the homies 😂
@@CoachMike757 ngga tfoh that sht ain't for life
Lol funniest sht I've seen in my life
Tv is not the same anymore. Amazing footage.
BEING FROM CALI I NEEDED THIS LAUGH TONIGHT .......hahahahahaha
LOL right. Gentrified the gang in the 90s
It's no joke back then and especially now lol 😂
Cali guys soft.
Shit u. Ust not of watched that far dummie
@@ClarkKent-tg6ls the biggest gang in California is the LGBT. 😂
If only all the little kids that looked up to him can see him now working for free in prison, they'll see where gang life gets you.
I would love to see a "Where Are They Now" production done on this documentary.
The “beat in” made me feel like I ate raw chicken with no seasoning that was marinated in mayonnaise all night
I can’t believe my dad let 7 year old me watch this with him 😂
Moral of the story is dr Dre and 90’s gangster rap was the fuel to this fire. And music is still playing that same roll today
Watched this docu and read about how the prison industrial complex and the record companies had a little agreement back in the 80’s. Promote violent, crime ridden music and glorify it. Make it mainstream and make the artists household name superstars. Then the youth (mostly black and brown in already crime ridden environments) will emulate that and start their path into the prison system.
The. Movie colors started a lot of this ish
The crack epidemic and gang members relocating and spreading gang culture was the main fuel.
LOL, this was hilarious
"First name Elvis, last name presley" said serious af lmao
Steve, I salute you for your work in the streets! Wish there was more people like you
Thank you.
why don’t you become one of them ?
I remember this timeframe, AND crack was on the scene. I am so grateful that we got thru that stage.
I know of some who have been off of crack for over 25 years. I am in Florida, and our communities have changed for the better. I am speaking from boots on the ground.
It was much pressure then, and hard to try to control.
I miss these old Raw HBO documentaries from the 90s. Real deep inside look.
Real talk one of the realest docs of banging outside LA 1&2 are classics
Remember watching this when I was a kid 1993 I was 12 ❤❤
I remember this shit years ago, I can't do nothing but laugh, this shits hilarious 😂😂😂
On everything I love lmao
Yall monkeys must of watched the whole ish
I dont get it. Whats so funny?
I wonder where these kids are today? I grew up in this generation,Gen X,I’m 45 years old. I would love to see a where are they now kinda video and let’s hear about how the whole “my gang is my family “ worked out for them? Who ratted on who, how many are or where in prison,how many are dead. Gangs don’t give a fuck about you but to a teenager,early 20’s with a young impressionable mind it’s easy to fall for this bullshit. But I get it especially the kids that their parents abandoned them. Like the girl that got jumped in her mom left when she was a year old. She obviously doesn’t remember her mom and her dad left at teo which she probably doesn’t remember. I’m sure that she has abandonment issues and how can you blame her. The most important people to her,her parents,walked out on her. I’m sure that they had drug and/or alcohol issues and chose drugs over their kids. It unfortunately happens every day.
I was like 5 when this aired. gangs are everywhere always will be.
i spent a lot of time in New Orleans growing up and Little Rock was legendary
for some reason little rock was the place to either lose your life or waste it
i personally rather be on a boat in hot springs thats just me
Love MC Eight playing during the interview
I wish I could see these kids now as adults and see what type of life they're living
Wow, I somehow missed this back when i was 22 and just discovered it. I'm 52 now and this blows my mind. I get the LA culture, but this is crazy. Wonder if this is still going on, prolly so.
They were blasting all the popping west coast music at the time! Brings back memories 😅😅😅. I think I was 11 when this came out.
I graduated in 1993. Half of these little fools would be pushing 50 like myself now. That's if they made it that far
They’re mostly dead
@@yankees29 Drugs or Prison? These kids were not banging that hard...

@@cjlaw228 I didn’t say all of them.

Slap yourself
The acting in this is dastardly 😂 even as a kid I was like “hell nah”
I’m sorry but I’d never take these Mfs serious 🤣🥶 And no GD gets jumped in nothing lmao. Man this is so hilarious to me man lmao

There are real GD and BD in LR who came fro pm Chi. These kids on this video put a target on they back after this because nothing real about them. Had the bloods after them heavy because of all the set trippin on here. I don't know who set them white kids up for failure like that. Lol
