I like to personally thank each and everyone of you for your respect... After the up coming Jimel Barn's interview I will make a few comments to intelligence questions only....And then I'm done speaking on both Jimel and Raymond.....I find it's sad that grown ass men can't except truth.... Check out any thing I said if it's true you should stand by truth no matter who it comes from....case and point ...I said Raymond wasn't the best with his hands...I get a hundred hates..Moon from Avenues said Raymond wasn't the best he gets 0 hates..... Some of us have a long way to go I question some of your age..... your mind set.... your unwilling to except truth.... But your willingness to except none truth......A guy named Bone did a documentary staying Crips had the Lavenders on the roof for hours... This was a slap in the face.....A guy that was probably a baby lie... This is not in Crip nor bishop history but another lie that will be told over and over.......I have shared with you my story and the truth as I know it to be.......You can take it or leave it alone.....If you question why more triple og don't come out.... Maybe it's the negative response the names were called by grow men...... guys who are now seniors sharing with you truth and your response is like children do you know or do you not know that we have children grandchildren and even great grandchildren's yet we come out to speak to you in truth that you might know true history sometimes we are a foolish people the amount of hate that we have towards one another is simply disturbing and when this hate comes from grown men 20 30 40 and even 50 years old is simply scary

[@bordermack1497]

Jimmy Lavender Respect ! Well said Big Bro

[@Betterlaylow1]

do not let these people get to you, Some people are children to the very end, Raymond washington is dead so they hold him out to be some sort of fairy tale figure when we should all know he was human too. Some of us out here respect you very much for sharing what you can with us . I personally would love to hear you talk more about that era especially about 92nd and beach st. i actually stayed there briefly and was in awe when you pointed out your house there and your garage, i had no idea that was your spot like that.

[@djvegas2920]

Mr Lavender you must understand that your legacy is written in stone. And now that we are grown the bitterness begins to show from those who really wasn’t a factor in history of this culture. And they wanna rewrite history to fit in!✌🏾😂Dj Vegas

[@TungMobTV13o2]

Jimmy Lavender You are well respected by those who accept the truth and seeks the facts when it comes to history. I'm 45 and on the East Coast and truly appreciate you and KM for your time and honesty.

[@terrellgaither8699]

Jimmy Lavender O.G. Forget them Haters!!! If you was a lie they wouldn’t be hating. Truth hurts !! May God keep blessing you O.G!!!

[@ununseptium7961]

Jimmy is my favorite. I love how he carries himself.

I swear I love Jimmy he a stand up dude, WATUP KEV

[@ronaldjohnson4677]

Jimmy telling the truth.

[@looneytunes1982]

You can tell he doesn’t lie and is solid

[@AQUAPHREESH193]

Gary Burton ur just biased cuz you claiming 60s LOL

[@mrnobody2523]

Gary Burton everybody doesn’t lie ahki, there’s many people who don’t speak much but listen 👂.

[@hasaanhasani]

@Gary Burton Jesus fake

[@TrulionTv]

His voice is so calm and peaceful, he should be a narrator or public speaker..

[@speakyopeacetv6795]

Man ain't hating he just telling the truth. Craig was huge back then. If he slapped u u just got slapped 😂

[@jimmylavender3895]

After all this is a history channel....

[@speakyopeacetv6795]

Jimmy Lavender indeed. If it happened it happened. They try to make these guys seem like they weren't kids when all this began

[@dasmoothest79]

I feel like thats about right Speak, if u a shorty in the nieghborhood messin with a factor and he smack u for messing with him like u said u just got smacked lol .

[@alrodriguez7496]

Plus he was probably, older..

[@harrypagetflashman1]

I thought this was common knowledge about big Craig Munson giving Raymond a slap...wasn't Raymond 3-4 years younger than Munson? IE still a kid while Munson was 18-19 and swole...no shame in that game...

[@mrmrsplummer3526]

I like Jimmy Lavender because he takes all the mythological shit out of it and brings in the human element. They were all kids at one point not demons running wild killing people.

[@TungMobTV13o2]

Mr & Mrs Plummer 💯

[@JYoung3rd]

That ain't deep, everyone starts off as a kid. but they obviously loss their innocence at some point & choose to start killing.

[@jimmylavender3895]

Aros De Humo we choose to defend our love ones from a large gang that was terrorising LA.killing and beating our people.....if America was being attacked would she fight back...yes..... would you protect your family ? As a matter of fact... what would you have done....

[@SteyDeynjruhs]

Craig Munson so strong he slapped the Crips into existence with just the back of his hand 🖐🏾 😂😂

[@Dahoodpostman]

JIMMY LAVENDER ICON HISTORIAN HOODATICIAN GENERAL

[@EddieBaileyTSMG]

Doesn't sound like hate to me. It sounds like Jimmy Lavender is just being objective.

[@pharoah1200]

Big ups to your new channel, and your first guest, Mr. Jimmy Lavender👍👍👍

[@sunrah4469]

In order to understand the significance of Craig Munson slapping Raymond , you need to comprehend how physically huge Craig was and he was older than Raymond by a few years. Remember also that Munson went to prison for beating a dude to death with a hammer. That doesnt make Raymond look like a punk. It makes him appear HUMAN.

[@jimmylavender3895]

sun rah 44 I agree

[@kingtau]

I was just thinking the other day, how would things would have been if Munson had not went to prison

[@sunrah4469]

king tau Interesting to speculate on that. Munson has said in an interview that he was pretty much done banging by his late teens as were a lot of these O.G'S , so its probable that things would have turned out just the way they did, with Raymond Kicking off what became first a citywide, then a worldwide phenomenon that has lasted nearly half a century.

[@jimmylavender3895]

sun rah 44 I agree most of the Avenues was Munson age....The young Avenues was so few and actually ran with Raymond...... such as.. Black Joe...and crack eye Greg....by18 most had given up that life.... peace family

[@kingtau]

Jimmy Lavender i grew up around the corner from where Raymond grew up on 76th St.

Jimmy Lavender had that raw visual proof of the beginning in that Jr high yearbook

[@chrisvalentine214]

Jimmy Lavender is one of my favorites to watch. I can tell that Jimmy wasn't for the bullshit. I thought Raymond and Jimmy was the same age. Great interview brotha Kev and I'm getting my feet back under me know so I will be donating to your platform. I hope you can get a round table together with Jimmy Lavender , Barefoot Pookie, Cutes, AC Bobalouie and Tyrone Tate. That would be amazing to witness. So brotha Kev I will make sure I do my part to support your channel. The OG's that you interview put your content above anything else out there, continue your great work.

[@pharoah1200]

And that's true about Raymond being very athletic. He was always at the pool at Roosevelt Park. And, for those who don't know, this was long before the pool was indoors🏊

[@kidkully]

Pharoah 1 do you know if Raymond Washington was present during the Robert baliou murder at the Hollywood palladium?

[@sordidC]

All of his east Texas family are athletic too.

[@christopherbell1307]

@sordidC I wonder why folks dont think Raymond had East Texas ties. May be from his father and he first generation born in LA. But family ties dont disappear

[@Blade-ts9fr]

Kev Jimmy is a good interview man. I think he's slept on allot. To comment on what Jimmy wad talking about, he said in his 1st interview that they had Raymond over at their house for a talk. I don't think a hater would have took the time to have a meeting with someone.

[@pharoah1200]

History is, as history is. If it happened, it happened. You can't change history. No one has a history of complete "W's" in life. No one, and that included Raymond😎

[@pharoah1200]

Original Mr.Q, Yeah 110%😎

[@therealredmoney]

the Truth stands on its own, Pharoah 1...

[@pharoah1200]

RED MONEY, real talk👍👍👍

[@trevorkiieth4242]

Did he take a l I guess. But Munson had a army behind him.....literally. He had 30 dudes on deck throw in probably in the sets stomping grounds. Raymond wasn't invincible because he started the cribs. This dude didn't say if Raymond wanted a fare one . He just slapped him and walked away telling the dude he smacked he's going to start the crips gtfoh. Should be more or if he's really his friend should know more.

[@baruch1hashem]

Jimmy's Audio quality is on point! Your voice distorts at times, but another great one!

[@jeremygaida4298]

Every interview you do with mr lavender is solid.he seems very honest and has great recall of past events.very humble and honest.one of those men that doesnt have much bad to say about anyone.if you cant say something nice dont say anything at all seems to be the motto here.

[@bigdaddycuull]

Powerful shit man !!! Raymond was his Patna you can tell by the stories

[@macturtle4904]

GOOD INTERVIEW! IM NOT SURPRISED A JUVENILE STREET GANG STARTED FROM A SLAP 👋 ! PEOPLE ACT LIKE THESE GUYS WERE NOT HUMAN! LOL

Jimmy Lavender You're a good brother,keep up the work.... But what we need now is another peace treaty out here and a plan to move into our own land...As long as we're in America there won't be any peace

[@TheBLACKMQQN]

people keep FORGETTING when the OOOG tells the story of the SLAP. That SLAP came from a much older and stronger Craig Monson.

[@jimmylavender3895]

Cherry Jumpman I agree.. We're living in the devil's work shop

[@NefDakingdom4444]

Kev Mac you a true hood historian homie I love and appreciate your content

[@MsLollipop79]

Kev, first off congratulations on your progress, brother. I had a suggestion or so and will keep it pleasant. We love when you include photographs of those interviewed and also the ones mentioned but unavailable in one way or another. Please continue to do so whenever possible for we like to see our brothers and sisters in every relevant aspect. One more thing, you see I mentioned “sisters”...Where are the Cripalettes??

[@JoshNReallife]

I didn’t know about this channel ... I’ve been missing out

[@airhats745]

This is a sad story cuz. Jimmy and Raymond was friends and neither one of them realize at the time how important it was to kept more in contact with each other. I think this hurts Jimmy talking about it , maybe we should not hassle Mr.Lavender over this subject anymore ,He is no young man anymore. Thanks Jimmy for taking out your time with Kev and helping us to understand the beginning stages of this bloods cuz show.

[@airhats745]

Mario Greene Yea thats whats sad about this. Two of his teen hood friends were to become gang members the opposite of his gang. Raymond never thought that Ac and Jimmy would be around today to tell who Raymond Washington was before he form Crip.

[@jimmylavender3895]

A ir Hats .... Raymond's family wrote a book... Some ask me if I knew if this was true..... Read the book...... But don't ask me if it's true.....You will then understand I'm not a Raymond hater..... Call his family a hater if you may....... sure I left out many stories....Ask me why.......Do you all not realize by speaking truth I received hate.....Do you all know too well known Crip leader approach Munson on what I said.... They both came back one personally apologize to me.....I repeated the slap because most didn't know why Raymond started his gang....I was first told it was a knock out...I went to Munson he said it was a slap not a knock out... I came back on air and said what Munson said..... This is history it doesn't or shouldn't matter who tells it....I said Raymond wasn't the best with his hands...I gets a hundred hates moon. Who also live and no us said their was many Raymond could not fade he gets 0 hates......we as men must learn to accept truth..... peace be upon you

[@airhats745]

Jimmy Lavender I understand OOOG. Totally agree with you. I notice you give all of us your best memory as of you could remember * I know its not intenionally , You have a big heart Mr.Lavender. i know its also dangerous on your end at your age.Thanks for giving us your Best ,And you a Blessing to still be with us Mr.Lavender. SALUTE from the CUZ side.

[@jimmylavender3895]

A ir Hats I wish everyone had your maturity...... much respect.... Remember gang life is a life leaving to self destruction.....As well to our people.... Besafe

[@dasmoothest79]

Jimmy is one of the best interviews Kev has done so i can see why he would interview him a few times. Respect to the OG.

[@blackjohnny9570]

Nobody perfect, if Raymond was young it makes sense that the older dudes of the hood would treat him. But Raymond had to have some kind of hands or people wouldn't follow him.

[@chip12424]

Crippin started with a slap! That's as real as it gets.

[@brianjohnson5771]

The best thing about this video is that it's one of the first videos that really described how Raymond Washington really was. You can get a better idea of how Raymond was and how he related to other people in his peer group. Great video as always @Big Kev Mac and Mr. Jimmy Lavender just tells it like it is. Keep doin your thing and I'm always looking forward to your next video. #Salute!!! Peace!

[@WareWolf831]

If Mr lavender story is correct which I believe it has a very important lesson for youngsters Raymond Washington the crip founder a man who gangster is unprecedented was able to take a loss like a man. Didn’t want to shoot Craig Munson he took his loss and bounced back like a true gangster.

[@jimmylavender3895]

justin jones .... That's all he could have done...He definitely was against all odds...I believe he made the right decision

[@kano3030]

And you made the wrong decision starting ah gang in your mother's garage and you're surrounded by Crips!!! And Bishops are being killed right now because of your dumb decision CUZZ! You've got 89 EC NHC and others killing Bishops because of that dumb decision to be Anti Crip which is pure stupidity when the Black community is predominantly CRIP!!!! You're the FOOL OLD MAN!!!!

[@bordermack1497]

ONE TRUE GOD you sound ignorant.. the truth hurts over 15,000 men & women have been murdered over the past 50 years between Crips and Bloods. At the end of the day nobody won. When the Crips started they did nothing but destruction in the Black community, like killing innocent young black men over a leather coat, I salute the ones who chose anti Crip, and said we ain't with that negativity shit, however ended up becoming just like the Crips.. this shit was started by some teenagers, just think of that mentality, you sound like you still stuck in that same teenager mentally. I hope your mind evolves someday.

[@jimmylavender3895]

ONE TRUE GOD .....I bet your one of those wine drinker on the Conner still crippling at 50 years old..... with no further...... your discussing and a Crip disgrace

[@pdxtombstonepiledriver5063]

Munson was a beast with unreal strength. He traveled the world bodybuilding with the best of them. Raymond had no chance, being younger he probably didn't have the strength or mindset of an older Avenue G. He made the right decision going off and starting his own crew the crips.

[@gagebligasakhu5452]

Seriously how is he hatn'? He's just giving history, respect to Mr. Lavender & Kev Mac for providing the platform for truth to be told.

[@chrisw.6043]

You can’t even speak objective truth without being called a hater! It’s sad when you can understand that the truth isn’t always sweet and it’s bitter! That rejection into the Avenues and that slap motivated Raymond Washington to start the biggest street gang in the world. Nothing glorified about it, but it’s just raw truth. Leave Jimmy Lavender alone because once these elders are gone you’ll never get the real history anymore.

[@KMVideosLiveStreams]

Jimmy Banged from 72-74 Cutes banged in 71, lol. Jimmy keep shit real real for real, but has a disdain for Raymond. While Cutes may up someone, Jimmy will down talk his close friend Raymond and in Jimmy’s book he pretty much calls everyone a bully, even himself. So being a bully to Jimmy was a ordinary kid.

[@TheTruthness2011]

@@KMVideosLiveStreams no Jimmy is sayin' they were-all bullies because ➡️ They were-all bullies. Wakey-wakey, Kev Mac. You need to grow-out of this embarrassing gang-shit. It's cringe seeing you tryna be cool. What's more is you need to stop distorting history and promoting - as 'hip' - those who, destroyed their-own lives and what's worse destroyed the lives of countless beautiful humans - so, you can pay for your gambling addiction.

[@samcooke6885]

Smh....once again brother Kev Mac...congrats on ur great work. But i must sincerely and dearly disagree with the great brother..Jimmy Lavender's intentions and approach in proving there is no hate and or jealously toward ,Mr.Washington ...Please bare with me...this may take a while, but in my opinion its worth it. Brother Lavender u are a special and rare indidvual,and we appreciate ur plight and ur historical connecting of the dots of a piece of this awesome los angeles history,that affected (4 the bad and good) the ,hip hop,community, america and even the entire world 4 that matter. But I must say, first of all brother Lavender came out and said legend Raymond Washington was knocked out by Craig Munson by the way he was EMPHATIC and factual about it...then came back to correct it by saying...he was slapped by Mr.Munson..Ok this event came about...NOT in Mr.Lavenders presence,so why even speak on it ?.U were not there.. Second..Mr.Lavender states...the crips were started and i quote"by a slap to Raymond "... as if to imply Raymond never would have started the crips if he wasnt...slapped by Munson...this to is a lite weight diss (The slap being reiterated)...Mr.Washington... and his involvement early on in gang banging help start the crips... ..the slap...just influenced the process faster...U ARE DESTINED TO BE WHAT U ARE DESIGNATED TO BE...Third ..Mr.Lavender mentions Raymond taught him how to flip...???? ok a man who is repudiated in fighting,toughness and leadership ability ,..Thats what ur willingly to share with us about what he contributed to u...he taught u how to FLIP?..sounds like u gave forced credit to Raymond.. over sumthing thats not that important..that ur not ashamed of admitting u learned from him....and sum thing that doesnt add to Raymonds legend. Per sa like ...if he taught u how to fight,or looked out 4 u in the streets. Also brother.Lavender i think it would have been a good idea to put things into context.. Raymond being slapped by Craig....if im not mistaken Raymond born in 53...Craig 48...that meant the slap occurred when Craig is 20yrs of age and Raymond 15 about to turn 16...a huge grown man vs a becoming adult...why not share that part of the story with us as well...if ur concerned with setting the record straight? U have also given credit to a man that is clearly mentally challenged (Jimel Barnes).. who said he cracked Raymond...and 10,000 crips started running.U say Raymond didnt have great hand speed,or good head movement i take it u have been hit by Mr.Washington? If not how do u know? if u say u saw him fight...that would be extremely important to know...then my next question would be why not share THAT story...and if u say u didn't see him fight.. u were told...then once again u were NOT THERE. U say u and Raymond were tight from 12-19yrs of age...so for the last 6 yrs of his life..u didn't associate with him and or be around the same circles at the same time as Mr.Washington...so his,head movement, hand speed may have improved,right? Now that i have said that...let me make my point...I in no way glorify violence and or black on black crime..the epidemic has to STOP..But its a travesty that this remarkable man has been overshadowed for yrs...and others have piggy backed of his work...Such as Stanley Tookie Williams...also people in the know are afraid to say what they know to be true about Tookie as a crip and his sexuality...but yet very confident to slight the founder of the Crips even if there intentions is to tell the truth..then lets tell the truth on TOOKIE...lmao i doubt cats will speak up on that issue Tookie is a global HERO made by the white MEDIA,smh...I believe Brother Washington based on street,man and gangster principles is more honorable than Tookie..but yet 4 gotten. Mr.Lavender i was told by my granddaddy.."if u aint..never lost a fight,than u aint never been in 1". So...no one is crazy to believe Raymond won all his fights...but we as black folks need not to slight each other even if u say "Its the truth" unless its helping the next man....Raymond Lee Washington is sum what of an enigma and sum what a ghetto super hero..lets let that be as it is!!. We have no clue what he could have accomplished had he lived ( in a goid way)..obviously the LADP made sure of that...he was supposedly gun down by sum one in a car..that had 4 people in it...Do ur homework on the shady Government ritualistic satanic killing the number 4...represents,death and or sacrifice . Any way we as blacks catch enough hell from white media discrediting us and lying on the truth about us as is. U dont...see white folks saying that about there people ..when u heard 0f a white man...discredit Boxing Legend Rocky Marciano,or Nba legend Larry Bird, or Butch Cassidy...etc? ...they DONT DO IT...I swear on my dad grave...i truly mean well in my comments not here to dis anyone. Brother.Lavender ..much love and respect to u...and ur family same to u...Kev....and if i have offended any one with this post. I sincerely apologize. Thank u much!

[@jimmylavender3895]

sam cooke ... Brother Sam I truly appreciate ur comments and respect.... Thank you sir.... Let's start with my correction from a knock out to a slap.....In 1969 it was said Munson knock out Raymond.... This rumor spreaded like wild flowers...I always believed this to be true....So I repeated it.... Shortly after I Ran across a brother name Paul who was Avenue.the conversation came up... Paul said he was there and that Munson slap him around.....I then had lunch with Munson.He wanted the truth to be told so I ask what really happened....He told me he slap Raymond that Raymond was to young to hit....I came back on Kev Mac and repeated what Munson and Paul told me...... Raymond in leaving said I'm starting my own gang.... and he did... This is our history... concerning Jamel... Raymond had no natural enemy.. Jimel was hated at the age of 12 by the Avenues and was force to fight....I know he said a lot of things.understand in 1990 he was in a mental health center..15 years I believe before making that statement about Tookie....I stand on truth .. when I heard them telling untruths I stood against all odds defending Jimel reputation as a Crip... For this I became hated... Brother Sam I'm about truth.....All those who oppose me who had lie became known as lier's when head Huncho came out with the truth about Jimel.... proving I had spoken truth.... On fighting..... your probably right...As fighters we do learn more as we become older.I haven't seen Raymond fight since he was around 16 once he started his gang it became 20 one...nor did I see much of him he was always in jail..... Raymond was a walk in type fighter looking for the one big shot...in his fight with chief ... chief hands was to quick.... Raymond failed to adjust.... Moon from Avenues said Raymond wasn't the best...He received 0 hates...I said the same and receive a 100 hates.....I can tell your very intelligent and definitely pay attention I respect that.... Feel free to discuss anything concerning our history...I do not glorified our foolishness it only hurted us as a people... Looking forward to hearing from you...May our Creator find favorite in you

like jimmy said ( people need to listen ) in kev macs first few interviews with jim , jim never said that raymond couldn't fight , and he definitely NEVER said that Ray was a coward . what he said was ( in my words ) that these documentary flicks always make it seem as though Raymond L. Washington was some type of folk lore warrior and that he beat the breaks off every cat he encounters .. Jim put it clear .. and kept it real and said YES Raymond loved to fight and was a fighter ..BUT not this mythical being that these lame tv documentary programs like Nat Geo ECT say he was . look its only common sense ..that Raymond was a bully and whooped alot of ass ..but he also must have lost a few fights . and I take jimmys word for it . we all sin some and loose some . what I will say is it seems like Raymond had 2 sides to him , as most of us do .. Raymond got down and he was a leader ..not so much of his fighting skills , but because the boy was a heck of a intelect minded cat who knew how to carry himself and talk to cats and get them to join this super gang " THE CRIBS " . respectfully my personal opinion is individuals like barefoot pookie and others throw add ons to Raymond. I think Raymond may have been a good leader with much people skills . but we also can't ignore that raymond washinton was disgruntled by what the crips had turned out to be .. I don't believe that Ray would have wanted all this killing going on and it has been proven so by the testimony of cats like jimmy amongst others who keep it real . for god sake the man adopted Rayshana ( Rays Daughter ) as his niece .. I don't see cutes ..pookie or others having that type of relationship with raymonds offspring so what gives man .. jimmy regardless of being a ex co founder of what would become a blood gang years later is raymonds true friend . may god guide jim .

@Raze The Mass: I don't understand the Putting him in a cross comment. I see keV as the instrument that created the Peace. Am I missing something?

[@SouljahDeNiece]

Raze The Mass if you ONLY KNEW how LONG it took for me to find this post. Lol. Greetings Raze, I've known Kev for a long time and yeah, he can be cocky, and his attitude is so FUNCKY sometimes I just wanna grab him and SHAKE him. But he respects his elders and he has a beautiful heart. ( Shhhh don't tell him I said so.. I promise you I'll DENY IT) Kev is a journalist. He asks the hard questions, he asks the questions that get the responses and answers to the questions we have. I'm going to have to review ALL of the videos before I can respond any further and if I take to long to respond it's cuz I can't get back here. It took FOREVER to find this and THEN I found it by accident. Lol. Have a good day

Mr. Labrador is one of the most intelligent gang members you have ever interview Kev Mac. Quite impressed with this guy he needs, to be the spokesman for this platform. Kev Mac you seem to be a pretty smart man should think about this. Real talk good work my brother

Respect to Mr Lavender and Kev Mac

[@emmettlewis2312]

As long as its the truth and it's relevant to history there's nothing wrong with him stating a fact. If Raymond Washington doesn't get slapped and is accepted by the Avenues the Crips May have never been.

[@therealredmoney]

...even supaman had a kryptonite...big up Jimmy L...!

It doesn’t sound like No hating sounds like enlightenment and educational...

[@Betterlaylow1]

kev mac, when they say they got kicked out of a school, please ask if they remember the incident or incidents that got them kicked out. Im pretty sure it will spark some memories

[@EViLER-zd8id]

THIS IS A GREAT INTERVIEW

[@lilbru]

Mr. Washington seemed like he could've at the least qualified for an olympic team or been a professional in these fields..he loved to fight, flip, wrestle & other athletic activities. In addition to his leadership skills, seemed like the elder would've had an impact if someone he respected would've been able to plant the seeds of influence on him to put his athletic prowess skills on display in a larger stage. Seems like the brother's impact had the potential to be greater than the creator of the Crips.
