Barefoot Pookie, Co Founder of West Side Crips. (2007)

Co-Founder of the West Side Crips, Barefoot Pookie, talks about Raymond Washington, the formation of the Underground Crips, Harlem + Godfathers Crips merger in 1973, the Payback Crips, and Prison Gangs. June 28, 2007.

[@ernestl.houseiii9680]

Everybody claiming to be the co founder of the crips. 😂😂😂😂

[@KevMacVideos]

No one the West Side founded the Crips, it was a group of guys. Everyone in attendance at the big meeting to become Crips on the west side are co-Founders of the West Side Crips. Period.

[@MoneyOverFame]

They’re can always be more than one cofounder.

[@ernestl.houseiii9680]

Kev Mac Videos just cause you attended the meeting does not mean you are a co founder. A lot just showed up just cause. Who ever called the meetings already knew what they were meeting about.

[@gaydydonley2363]

Ernest L. House III Raymond Lee Washington and Jimel Barnes in 1968 started the crips. Do your research.

Bare foot pookie is a legendary Crip , he never turned a fade , I met him in 1970 ,

[@johnlikedilinger]

Always wondered how he got his nickname lol Had to be a bad man handing out fades barefoot. Respect to he OG!

[@delstanley1349]

He simply "walked around barefooted" per OG Bad News. See Kev Mac Video " titled "OG Bad News an Original Rollin' 60 Part 1/3" posted a little over a month after the above. It is at about the 14 minute mark of that video. KV asked Bad News who were the top karate fighters during that period. Bad News said it was Barefoot Pookie.

I'm astonished that this man did the whole video w/ not 1 use of a profane word, not even as much as calling another Black man the N word. Good interview Kev. Much respects 2 Barefoot Pookie 4 proper use of the English language. I'm further surprised that he didn't have on the oft-worn Fedora hat.

We never in a million years would glorify the killing of another Blackman who was just like us. Maybe I am just too old to understand how you take pride in being in a gang or starting up a gang that kills black people. Maybe you could tell me?

Jennie RedRose I’d have the go back to check those cuts... could have been some noise or tape stoppage believe me I am not in the business of hiding good information. The average person doesn’t realize how often a guy says something degrading about someone and then when they realize they are still friends with this guy or his family they ask me not to air dirty laundry.

[@dragonlo6514]

You keep on droppin' these gems, we're going to have to call you Kev the jeweler. I hope you have back ups of the interviews and back ups to those back ups. This is history and none of these cats are getting any younger. Once their gone at least you have the history documented. You also dropped gems in "Sprung". You mentioned a song the UGs played, that I hadn't heard in years; "The Underground" by Curtis Mayfield. I forgot what a jam that song was. You should put the whole archive in a set and lease it to the History channel or one of those cable network channel and get residuals. With your Vegas hustle and this, you'll definitely be Rich Rollin' and all legit.
