Jimmy Lavender thank you and your peers for sharing you guys stories.

[@chrisvalentine214]

Jimmy Lavender Brother Lavender you and Kev Mac need to do a video on the top "HOGS" of the different neighborhoods of your era.

[@k.ghostluciano6149]

Thanks for being a REAL OG LAST OF A DYING BREED

Hearing this older brother speak about his history of the Jordan Downs is truly a privilege.

[@Cartxln]

Tyrone Tate is a name that a lot of people never hear about. It's these unsung warriors that have all the historical gems. That other guy's videos are far more inferior to what we see with Kev Mac. Real OG's, not 1990's babies trying to tell history they wasn't a part of. Keep it up Kev Mac, this is going to take you places you never imagined bro!

[@generalgrax]

Another gem from the OG Kev Mac! I aint no gangster but these vids make me have an understanding of the origins and how things were meant to be before all the madness (80s & 90s).

[@brandonowens7525]

I'm always so impressed by how sharp these elder bruthahs minds still are after all these years.

[@TheBLACKMQQN]

probably due to the fact some didn't smoke weed

[@Hannibal54689]

And he's a Vietnam vet. A strong mind.

[@calitouring1055]

This brother is so sharp, Salute to the veteran. Keep the good working going KevMac much appreciated

[@indicastrain4127]

Damn, the consistency of what all the various dudes have to say about Mack Thomas is crazy.

[@terenceberkley6533]

They should do something on Mac Thomas cause his name comes up a lot. Maybe piece together something from every crip from his time and put it in a story.

[@liljoecompton165]

Terence Berkley my big homie is rest N PEACE Og MAC THOMAS ORIGINAL GRANDEES/NUTTY BLOCC COMPTON Crip

[@terenceberkley6533]

Dewayne Alexander they should do a story on him in respects.

[@terenceberkley6533]

Dewayne Alexander everyone says something about him so you can tell he was well respected. Rip OG MAC Thomas. Peace blessings be upon him inshalla

[@terenceberkley6533]

They should put something together on Mac Thomas

[@Von_Donovan]

He STARTED Compton Crip

[@th3ronin407]

Notice cuz was talking about "structure" something lacking today

[@Renegade-jk4ux]

I can tell the brother was about his issue in them streets. I can also tell he gave respect and demanded it back. I can relate to all of that. Good interview, Kev, and much respect. ✊🏿

[@leonardcollier886]

Tyrone this. Jr. Collier son get at me on facebook leonard collier

[@americanzombie1802]

It’s interesting as hell hearing about this era of street gangs in LA. Dude said he would drive out to other hoods, pull up and introduce himself just like that. And imagine meetings with thousands of Crips.

[@757CitiesReppa]

Its always about knowledge and wisdom...peace to you Kev for puttin this thing down correctly.

[@frk615tn]

Decades of History. It's crazy how all the REAL OGs story's all line up no matter what hood they from.

[@barneyhubble5505]

Tip615 right. right

[@bigmoe4613]

I have enjoyed all kev Mac videos but I really like this one part one and 2

[@dustinshaver3441]

Great interview, follow up questions were on point, can't wait for the next one.

[@nicccfury4979]

Damn Kev Mac u got too many classic under ya belt u gon mess around and be the ambassador of la gang culture period.

[@jennieredrose5819]

Damn this og knew everrrrybody! Talk about hood star!

[@bronxgeneral5198]

Jennie RedRose 👀

[@SamirAmeen92]

10:35 - 10:47 Kev Mac: So, you just pulled up in neighborhoods, jumped out and introduced yourself? Tyrone Tate: Wit' my Ace Deuce on, my Blue Rag hangin' out my pocket, and my .45 on me, yeah...bottomline I started laughing, but he a real man for that. Respect to the elder, I tip my hat.

[@ericgayton6607]

G status......

[@KevMacVideos]

Challenging question, superb answer.

[@moblack5883]

Being Black and going in Black areas was different back then. Wasn’t stand offish like now.

[@poppa_Sicarii_Sin_City]

@@KevMacVideos it trickled down to us too all his nephews 💯

[@ldubb9621]

Thanks Mr. Tate for sharing you life. The thing that I admire about these men is how educated and articulate they are. They were men of honor and principles!! It shows that you don't have to be ignorant to be a G! Kev Mac, I will say it again I'm thankful to you for giving this to us bro. Continued Success, many blessings and I'm looking forward to the next one.

[@vall3yboy818]

Solid interview. I appreciate how you don't ask leading questions and allow your interviewees to speak in their own voices. The flashbacks are added bonuses. I've been a fan of your work for the past decade. Only true fans can appreciate the level of your erudition. Much love to Dirty Blue from the Dirt Gang and Martinez from The Lott X3.

[@frankvanellison7884]

KEV MAC KEEP PUSHING IT BROTHER!!!!!!!! LET GET YOU FUNDED FOR THE BIG SCREEN

[@deshawnrivera6319]

I grew up heavy blood neighborhood. This is Castle hill in the Bronx and I ain’t meet crips until I got to high school. These videos shed light that we all are much alike and it’s only right Bloods and crips educate themselves on the origins because it only builds respect. This man Tyrone Tate reminds me of my dad and myself who both ran the streets but also went to the military and learned about structure and how to pass knowledge from one generation to the next. I got little homies around me everyday. Some bang and some don’t but I struggle everyday to better myself all the while knowing they look up to and depend on me at times. I never give up on them though.

[@fredrichadzabe9351]

Salute, this brother need a part 3

[@joemosely9383]

The Founder Of Watts Crip'n How Did This Dudes Name Get Buried in The Archives? This Dude Is Walking Talking Dinosaur / Encyclopedia! Best Interview To-Date Kev Mac !

[@QuickHittinEm]

I was thinking that too,my top KMV's in order,Hawk,Mizz,Tate,Bad News,Pretty Boy......also dug the cats from UG,hell they were all good ,but I have my favorites.

[@complexblackness]

AlleyOop X for me Mizz, Frog, Tate, UGz, Pretty boy, Big U.

[@QuickHittinEm]

Hawk singing was funny as hell and Bad News is an interesting cat, him doing dirt on that breakfast burrito is a classic!

[@jimmylavender3895]

His name was never buried in watts

[@joemosely9383]

It Was Buried When It came To Crip History and Every Generation after His... Honcho's Name Had Overshadowed/eclipsed Tyrone as far as Watts Crip'n...... Raymond, Tookie, Pookie and Mack Thomas names come Up in History Talks...... Its A Good Thing Tyrone's Name Resurfaced....

[@fulaan1]

Public parks seem to be an important component of LA gang culture.

[@ronnie9826]

fulaan1 Lmao so true that can actually be a meme

[@ericgarner8944]

Kev Mac you may be brokering alot of peace talks without realizing it..bringing all these OG's from different sets and different colors together to tell their stories..young cats get a good sense of their origins..see that alot of enemies have historic and in some cases family ties..good shit brother..I salute you from all the way in Massachusetts

[@LilDead_107Hoover]

Knowledge, OG gets nothing but RESPECT.

[@whatujackintv.music.promotion]

SALUTE all the elders who gave way pave way. DAMU and CRIP ,piru,brim!..kev mac SALUTE 💯keep the history coming from the elders ..east to the west it's honor respect!

[@quanbrooklynkid7776]

[@SouljahDeNiece]

[@KevMacVideos]

Ms. DeNiece Williams yes Queen.

[@northce3474]

Still one of my favorite interviews. Cant waite till he come bacc and give us more Wattsts Crip history and Mac Thomas

[@GnosticCushite]

The Crips had A LOT of problems with the BGF back then but what's crazy is the leader of the BGF is an ex-Crip named Fati Carter. Fati Carter is Bunchy Carter's younger brother. I believe Fati was from Grape St. He's still alive doing life in Pelican Bay SHU.

[@jimmylavender3895]

Cushite Calisthenics ..Kenny is doing life... Being gone since 72 I believe....He wasn't a crip He was Avenue.....

[@terellhutcherson7950]

Cushite Calisthenics why the crips had problems with bgf because bgf was about black power and they was not about killing they black people

[@jimmylavender3895]

Terell Hutcherson Actually the original Bgf....was about black unity....

[@jimmylavender3895]

Typo been gone......

[@jordanbryant5035]

BGF predates crippin. Wtf are u talking bout.

[@khalilmixon2062]

NH60d elder kev,melinated unification, i wish u could have asked him about the old song cripdog!!!?but this is bomb info especially about b.panthers connection.!

[@biguce8570]

Intelligent methodical triple og.

[@complexblackness]

Good interview

[@anthonybush6488]

Older people are assets so valuable to any society. With age comes wisdom and knowledge if someone wants to know about anything from relationships , gangs, education, automobiles there's an older person that can give you some insight about it . I call older folks walking encyclopedias and that what makes Kev Macs videos so interesting to me not just the gang activities but the history that these folks are talking about great stuff .

[@carlmack3228]

Man listening to my cousin tyrone tate speak blows me away on how he still got his mind love you cuzz og.head gstw

[@ac965]

Another one thanks 4sho Coop one love to the Crips

[@touggie2000]

Kev im really liking how you do the reference checks! Like when they say something familiar you put a insert from a previous video which verifies and the highlights from pages from books. Your being very consistent with the whole "truth" and fact perspective thats being mention by the ones who pushing "we have to tell the truth" salute kev. You covering all basis!

[@henrysedillo5834]

ANOTHER GREAT GANG STORY @ HISTORY ...WORD UP PEACE TO ALL CULTURES .......BLOOD CUZZINS !!!1....KEV MAC !!!

[@ununseptium7961]

Kev is in savage mode when he does a 3 part interview without a nine volt battery for the smoke detector.

[@KINGWADE-qq7gv]

coming soon a part 3 😎

[@stephensurls3141]

Good interview Kev

[@katuza5480]

16:56 old school ethics.. respect to da God

[@silk2smooth542]

Vientnam vet who was a crip never saw that before

[@dogsandyoga1743]

Richard Jones Probably more than we know. Nam' ended pretty early in the 70s. I could see a lot of guys coming back looking for a group with the militancy of the 60s. But that era was over...

[@silk2smooth542]

Dogs And Yoga I agree my grandpa was telling a lot of Vietnam vet were the one causing the most trouble after the war taking jobs as hitmen and robbing and killing

[@dogsandyoga1743]

Richard Jones It's hard, after literally being a trained killer, to readjust back to "normal" life. Especially for black amd brown, who didn't have the option (then at least) to join a different form of military (aka police) back here in "the world". The ones who didn't go crazy, or get strung out, had to cope with a lot of things mentally...

[@dogsandyoga1743]

Crazy enough, my cousin did 2 tours in Iraq and said that it's a grip of dudes banging in the army now from all over the country. Spreads like a virus...

[@bloodscripsandessays]

This is a dope interview bro

[@KevMacVideos]

Thanx!

[@D-BRAZY]

damn this interview wuz fire cant wait for pt3

[@vall3yboy818]

My apologies. It's all good, I can't complain

[@vall3yboy818]

I'm an old man with children, bills and anxiety

[@TheMmiguelito]

Lolol!! It really is a trip just hearing these TRUE OGs of this urban warfare

[@gbdb86]

Interviews like this are priceless. He connected the dots on the police involvement in perpetuating a lot of the division N rivalries that stole a lot of black lives. Interesting to see how there was still a love N respect until the younger hot heads got separated from leadership. Leadership N community involvement is key to our unification N survival. From the elders to the youth we have to put our pride aside N uplift from a foundation of knowledge instead of going off emotions N pride. Keep up the good work. Shalom alaikum. ✊🏾

[@mngo10]

Splendid

[@MD-cd7em]

GOOD VIDEO KEV...ENJOYED IT!!..LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE ANOTHER ONE COMING?

[@Maximum1OK]

So the crew that Mack had on 103rd and Success must have been the crew that was rumbling with Rhea Boyce and so forth, the big rumble when he got single handed whooped on must of have been when he went to Compton???

[@crazyfromaz8218]

You should have ask if he new how OGs Pudden an Tam died

[@jockobotzi]

TAM was killed back in the 70'S by those Crips in Compton,Pudding died of natural causes 8-10 yrs ago is my understanding

[@stone2thabone695]

Puddin died in Gardena got shot

[@speakyopeacetv6795]

So he started Hickory Crip and Jordan Down?

[@jennieredrose5819]

Speak Yo Peace TV he brought crippin to Jordan Down...at least that's what the og in the other video said.

[@speakyopeacetv6795]

Jennie RedRose so he originated both

[@jennieredrose5819]

Speak Yo Peace TV it was already dudes there...probably had a crew of dudes living there But Tyrone came with the crip influence and basically sounds like he was one of the ones to come up with the name JDC. He said him and Howard. (a tall cat).
