89 Family Swan & 89 East coast started off as one gang called 89 Neighborhood and once one side of the 89 which became Neighborhood crip before they became 89 NHEC the other 89 wasn't with turning crip because they relationship with the Swans, NhF they killed a 89Neighborhood crip that was one of the leaders and enforcers and became Neighborhood Family after. 89Neighborhood Family Bloods were so close with the Mad Swans both gangs decided to become one gang which is Family Swans Bloods today. I'm shocked Klay didn't know that or remembering that happening. Klay been in my hood for years I'm really surprised of that.

@@joemosely9383 That's not true at all, ask any OG Crip to name even 10 guy's that were crips from Swan and I bet you they can't. That been a annoying rumor for years that came from this apartment building that was on 76 and central that looked like a castle 🏰 , so a gang formed in there called castle crips which a few Swans did come from. But the origin of Swans did not come from that and that would of meant Swans started on 76 and central ave and if that was the case it would of been a 76 Swan from the beginning.

[@bokardithetaomicron4932]

Back when adults/parents were respected as such no matter how bad you were. Matter of fact, sometimes the hardest mo'fers would exhibit more respect for their elders than you. Funny how standards change, because its almost unthinkable now. Course you had situations where younguns would buck up, but that was not even close to being the norm, the real G's knew all their friends and enemies parents and would address them as Mrs. or Mr.....and mean it too. Somewhere in the mid to late 80's the shift started, and by the 90s parents/and adults started becoming scared of children.

[@KevMacVideos]

There’s a lot of truth to that. Like you stated, there was exceptions.

[@bokardithetaomicron4932]
