Original West Side OG Skull Melvin Farmer is a human library for early 70's Los Angeles history. He's an elder & a legend.

You have to understand. When you in jail. All you have are memories that constantly replay in your head. The less you bring them up. The less you remember. I have buddies locked up that still bring up stuff that I don’t remember from wayyyyy back.

See…. This type of shit here is monumental because so many individuals get to be mentioned that played a role in what became CRIP. I love the history that comes from these interviews because it reminds me of how I grew up…. listening to stories of those before me. That’s the shit that’s missing with todays youth. They don’t wanna sit back and listen to those that were here before them. Good shit!!

MY OG Lil James told me that he Became a HOOVER because he saw the HOOVER s push they way to the front of a Parliament Funkadelic Concert and Start doing the CRP WALK not the HOOVER STOMP. And later a Fight Insued .RIP CIRCA 72-73.

The Hoover Stomp was created in the late 80's, Early 90s. The Crip Walk was created In the 70's, but were both created by the Hoovers.
