Ali G Los Angeles Gang Interview

[@kemita]

i love how ali g removed the ENTIRE collection of jewelry he always carries around to make the video in this hood

[@TheTaterTotP80]

+kemita TBH I doubt Sacha really gave a fuck, it's more likely the Alonso guy or some other Americans told him to take it off as they were scared.

[@changeyourstory4592]

Bill The Bull Gates wow you are tough saying that. Haha

[@TheTaterTotP80]

I don't think I said that, but yes, Yanks are pussies. Ali G made his name by not giving a fuck and not being scared of repercussions. That's not going to change just because he's now in LA. Whereas the dude he's talking to is on this video hyping up how hard the gangs are.

This is crazy! I never knew Alex Alonso was interviewed by Ali g. He's definitely not a gangster, but a researcher of gangs. He graduated from usc and is a professor at csulb, for anyone that's confused as to why he is so articulate. He has a channel on KZbin called street TV. It's very interesting.
