Grand Theft Auto | A Criminal History: Lamar Davis

Support the channel on Patreon:
/ thecriminalhistorian Tonight On A Criminal History, A Grand Theft Auto Biography
Big dreams, big deals and big nuts. Tonight we will examine the life of a man who, in his own mind, glamorously embodied the most stereotypical aspects of American Urban life in the gloriously mocked state of San Andreas. We will follow one gangster’s journey from street dealer, to deal breaker, all the way to legal marijuana entrepreneur thanks to his connections, his ambition and his perhaps surprising business acumen, especially where it concerned illegal operations.
We will see city-wide gang warfare, old school gangster loyalty and a time-tested friendship as we document A Criminal History of Lamar Davis.

[@LScentral]

It’s the Apache blood that makes Lamar such a warrior 🟢

[@LimpPeter]

Just lucky he don’t run up and flying tomahawk someone

[@ronalddragonofamerica]

@@LimpPeter hahahahahahaha right

[@og_3rd_st_saint_gat]

Cool pfp

[@ChasedMitten439]

fr man

[@markmagician2471]

Lamar is a booty warrior for man's butt

[@LScentral]

Lamar’s character is a healthy mix of Ryder, Carl and Sweet. The growth behind Lamar was amazing so hats off to R*.

[@OfficialFoundationPictures]

Yo true

[@josephstalin2606]

I don’t see any Carl tbh only Sweet and Ryder. Franklin is more similar to Carl since he’s chill and is bossed around by everyone

[@realtalk2046]

I glued my hat back on for gta V after they started releasing all the rocket flying underwater vehicles

[@MasterTemplar781]

thank you man

[@ChasedMitten439]

I feel that

[@pickedceasar1216]

Lamar is the only one that can convincingly talk to the online character and it not seem weird. Like no matter what he'll always be my gang leader 😂😂

[@josephstalin2606]

It’s bc he alr talks so damn much anyways he compensates for your own character not talking 😂 He’s still a homie tho

[@MasterTemplar781]

man wazzup i bring anyone in my gang homie soon i'm the king of los santos dont forget that

[@michigan102]

Lamar not getting employee of the month is gold haha 😂

[@LordJINJ]

Ruined his year fr

[@MasterTemplar781]

man if there is something to win i wanna win it i wanna be employee of the fucking century

[@TheNewAgeCreater]

That was when Lemar transformed

[@GOWvMatchstick]

Like it was 2013 the first time I saw it lmao

[@I-Like-Fire]

I cant wait for a criminal history of Guiness Walker 😂

[@Palkia8842]

That's crazy

[@JamesJohnson-tr1gu]

Lamar is one of the best side characters in GTA history, and his voice actor Slink Johnson is hilarious too...watch videos of him and the guy that played Franklin react to GTA videos...they're pure gold

[@Billsby]

He played as Black Jesus in the titular show too!

[@GenesisBoi]

​@@Billsbythat was him?!

[@DC2_Danny]

He’s the absolute best side character in all of GTA. I wish we could play as him in story mode

[@Bladez5]

We were supposed too

[@CJ_YT.]

u can in director mode but only free roam

[@MasterTemplar781]

man hell yeah

[@Jiub_SN]

Nah man, he's greats but definitely not the best

[@TrialzGTAS]

Loved that you included yourself for the GTAO story, very awesome! Hope to see more GTAO central characters later 🖤

[@gamingmoth4542]

1:24 I knew Lamar was pretty skinny, but I didn’t realize his arms were so skinny that his biceps and triceps were basically invisible.

[@-.-.-.-.-.---.----....-_-]

on a real note lamar do got some on him, not bodybuilder like but he aint blank

[@Predators--cz2fb]

Holy crap this is over an hour long? I better get my GTA online on and a few snacks for this so I am in the mood.

[@johnfarmer888]

The absolute HOMIE. even though he ain't that smart in brains he got a big heart. Even though he get you into more shit then get you out of he sticks by you no matter what. A real homie for life.

[@ClaytonTheCracker]

I love Lamar but "sticks by you no matter what"? Brotha ran when the Vagos pulled up to Benny's

[@kylesoler4139]

I hope the bring back Lamar in GTA 6 somehow. He's definitely a great character. He's a comic relief character done right!

[@bigdexmedia5233]

Lamar Davis is so hilarious to me especially with his roasts on Franklin

[@lb2.0.45]

This episode was awesome Lamar is too doggone funny definitely one of the best side characters in the GTA franchise. Also seeing Walker doing the crip walk was hilarious 😂.

[@duarte11_pt40]

Lamar should be a characters from like a side quest in gta 6, with LD Organics

[@Black-rw4og]

lamar acts gangster wannabe but he is an actual gangster. gotta love em tho

[@dagoldfish_26]

This man deserves more

[@BigDaddy-vk6rv]

Another great character captured on another great video! You always executed the shots perfectly but what really caught my ear was 1:40:10 when he provided you with a firearm! Now I wanna see Guiness Walker cover Guiness Walker!

[@stuffandjunkandthings364]

The saddest part of all of this, is that players on the new E&E will never get to see Lamar welcoming you to LS. It's a shame they cut that.

[@askaykeeners8712]

You could of had him pick you up from jail

[@docksidegames8861]

It sucks that he is moving on from the GTA biographe and geographies series, I thought they were always well done, can't wait to see what Walker comes up with next

[@patmakesperfect]

R* needs to hire you for your biographies to add to their in game tv channels

[@sauceonthebeat7775]

best episode to date, season 4 will be amazing it seems. Thanks for putting in the work bro we recognize

[@dadeleemurphy85]

43:02 that cat walking by like it KNOWS you were 'filming' there. LUL.

[@Gdub33]

These are the best. You're simply the best! Wonderful content!!!

[@markdowney6499]

your work is phenomenal

[@MlowBe]

Ong I’ve been waitin for dis one

[@dominator5924]

Lamar better come back trying to sell his stuff in vice city in gta 6 as a extra character you can buy stuff from or better yet a side character you can do missions for

[@mynameisnotbob6369]

Franklin and lamar are some of the gta 5 characters that would make sense being in gta 6

[@LyricAiLove]

I still don't know if Franklin and Lamar met in highschool or preschool. 😂

[@CompositeCreativity]

They met in high school. That was confirmed by both characters in-game.

[@saladbar935]

The way you sell the rpg style you got is honestly my biggest compliment. You keep me pretty immersed in this biography type deals.

[@djtoxxikk]

Lamar talking shit to me in the cutscenes was the most fun ive had in gta online. Shits so funny

[@ilikecowsguy0274]

Hey man I don't know your channels lore at all so idk if you're even doing this anymore but love this series, got me through the month of february

[@madmanjines]

Hands down the best episode

[@GOWvMatchstick]

man lowriders was an underrated DLC it actually had a story, and that story felt like GTA

[@davidaliyev9156]

great job bro =)

[@inaminute___]

WASSUP CAN A LOC COME UP IN YOUR CRIB

[@prussianjaeger13]

Man fuck you I'll see you at work

[@herbjacobs3839]

[@draesynesofficial]

Best episode ever! Lamar is too likeable 😂

[@KooL_D]

Love this series lol

[@bryangray1422]

This by far us the most gangsta episode! Thank you for this Bro!

[@bryangray1422]

This is that one, my nigga! Thank you forbthis and all the work you've done!

[@henning8737]

I'm loving the biography series, Lamar is the 4th main character of GTA V.

[@djtoxxikk]

The Dre questline was pretty cool and im glad they brought the characters back for that

[@myrahonore2656]

I’m damn sure gonna watch this

[@the9-2-5outlawgamer]

Guinness Walker sounds like Jack Webb “Joe Friday” from Dragnet!

[@riccsty7851]

this is a great video character analysis, lore and even RP recap of the story absolute W

[@brandoniswhoiam]

Time to catch up!

[@_Hunter.x.Hunter_]

That Apache blood will make lamar flying tomahawk scalp yo ass 😂

[@manuvirajkhare]

Only 6.8K views on this masterpiece is a load of nonsense. You deserve more views man.

[@KaiM6969]

I feel like at the bare minimum they should’ve made Lamar a heist member.

[@SmfPawgy]

1:23:55 😂😂😂 1:25:28 😂😂😂 Lamar is too funny with his made up words

[@alidavidmateria1402]

You better mention the Legendary ROAST

[@JessicaKasumi1990]

Lamar is Roast Master!!

[@ronalddragonofamerica]

@@JessicaKasumi1990 naw he the Roast God in my honest opinion.

[@XabzintheNBAGuru]

W content

[@yokimisaka]

Lettsss gooooo

[@GOWvMatchstick]

I wonder if whoever owns that yellow banshee in bennys will ever get his car fixed.

[@tankman5783]

back in my day he was a little homie now the little homie is now a big homie

[@trenchlords3381]

Let's goooo

[@laughingcoffin2907]

"y'all some goofy mthfckrs" this line always makes me laugh so much lmao

[@TimmHenson]

That Lamar Rap... change your life.

[@isaac80745]

I never really caught the families gang storyline in GTA 5.

[@CompositeCreativity]

That's because it's done via GTA Online.

[@kutiepie-rn1wu]

My favorite one ☺️

[@janeiltalks2923]

It’s about Time🤣

[@pmarcusb]

8 ball needs a history video

[@jamessultan2252]

19:37 that transition tho

[@CBall54]

Catalina and Lamar have seminar mission but Lamar never betrayed you a real friend.

[@trenchlords3381]

Boy got the biggest criminal record every got to

[@Krakkokayne]

26:19 the new Mafia game looks sick

[@brandonf5904]

Can you do a video on dwyane or playboy x soon

[@kartikmehetre7734]

Please make video on gta 4 Yusuf Amir

[@grandmasterbroda1429]

Any plans for the on covering the exploits of the members of the Van der Linde gang? Dutch, Arthur, John, Bill, and Javier have quite the stories.

[@TheCriminalHistorian]

Be patient and ye shall be rewarded

[@maxturbo45]

If there are still GTAO portions to do for GTAB I'm down to help out, just need to figure out how to get my PC to work properly, idk if anybody else has this problem, but it takes a long time to start up, or sometimes it says auto repair and puts me into that loop, and when I am able to get past that, sometimes one of my drivers goes missing, can't download some games because of it and I'm not able to get onto the internet, like, at all... I havnt turned it on in a while so hopefully it still works.

[@TheCriminalHistorian]

Sounds to me like you need a new desktop PC. Or like a modern laptop

[@maxturbo45]

@@TheCriminalHistorian Too true, turns out my PC was out of date XD, if you are down to clown, fucclord69 on PC

[@michaellepizzera4657]

That’s that Apache blood in my homie

[@bradleywest7309]

I love Lamar on of my favourite characters

[@giodawg45]

its ya boi LD

[@tylerswx1243]

Guiness Walker you should do a video about your character

[@WhyYouTrippinMan]

This would be a 12 hour video w all the online jobs over the years. And heists and businesses.

[@davidbranch1077]

It's like watching the F.I.B dude doing his show on the ferris wheel. The under belly of Las Santos

[@the9-2-5outlawgamer]

“Gangbangery”, A new entry into the Merriam-Webster dictionary. Hah hahaaa😅

[@trenchlords3381]

That's crazy his murder count is low whattttttt

[@buschfan0818]

27:46 anyone notice lamar walked out of a wall

[@TheCriminalHistorian]

Was hoping somebody besides me during editing would notice that. Doors within Doors.

[@rickkroll]

I love lamar!

[@JT-32]

the best character in GTA 5... Period!

[@Jdadude]

Ain't no fun if the gangsters can't have none

[@Kyddosuperstar]

around the 1:31:30 time, there was an ghost vargo with a glock hovering in the air

[@SoggyBiscuitPro]

Do wade and floyd stiry

[@HeyLeroy7530]

I think if they make a GTA V movie..the part of lemar should be played by 2 chainz

[@atrixtussand2369]

I got feeling that Lamar in story mode is more like a Ryder from SA. But when it comes to the online content. Lamar missions to be exact, he is more like OG Loc...Mr. Phony, big gangsta who outsource all of his problems and trying to collect the cream and still fails miserably. But, when it comes to the GTA Online Franklin missions/campaign he is somewhat in Big Smoke mindset. Pushing his product no matter the cost.

[@PlebNC]

Obligatory yee-yee ass comment to feed the algorithm.

[@JaysasterGaming]

Benny's takes place after the story, Benny's isn't in Story Mode

[@falconrpg99]

Lamar is proof that it's better to be kind than smart.
