That's because DJ Vlad isn't a efficient Interviewer. He has good guests/Interviewees & even great ones but he himself is not good at doing the interviewing. He also bases some stuff on sources that aren't even legitimate. Like his whole thing about Cholos was based on "American Me" smh. I seen that in an interview he did with Big Tray Dee. He also asked Tray Dee what I thought was a dumb question if there was "Mexicans" in Long Beach smh. I thought hello LBC is in Califas of course there is as there would be in many places here. Also he asked if there was Mexican Gangs in Long Beach well yeah most Cities & Towns & even unincorporated areas/CDP's have Varrios in them here. Long Beach yes they have West Side, North Side & East Side Longo which are all separate Gangs by the way, Barrio Small Town & Barrio Pobre & there was an older Varrio called T (Toker) Town Flats that died out. The 3 Longo Gangs & Barrio Small Town are the oldest of them all & Barrio Pobre started up there in the early to mid '80s. T Town Flats was around I wanna say in the late '70s til sometime in the '80s.

Thank you for sharing your story. I remember the 70's and 80's glad the gang seen didn't hit here until the 90's. I got to grow up having fun not having to look over my shoulder ever minute.

[@robertomartinez7318]

Back in those days 18th street put in any race ..into there gang..that's why they where so big...I grew up on Temple and fermin ..I went to Cortez elementary school on Temple and bixel...Diamond st...but 18th street was biggest rival..we caught the bus to virgil jr high...and that's all there was 18th st on one side and Diamond st on other side...18th st and florencia are gangs that cord in different races and that's why there so big...

I really like finding these interviews with unique stories

[@Gamelaced]

Crazy how Chicano culture is popular in Japan n other Asian places.. I seen a documentary on it, tripped me out! Well shit all our clothes come from there 😂

[@GAS.MASK1]

Ironically anime and cosplay is huge over here lol

[@GAS.MASK1]

Actually everything made is china or Taiwan lol

[@GAS.MASK1]

@J. Mtz fuck Trump . And I saw the article it said china 😂

[@_BRNYB_]

Reason why is OGs that grew up with Latino's back in the day. And then they get kicked out or shipped back to Asia. And Latino Culture is all they know. Their friends were all Latino. And they bring it back home. And influence the locals there. I knew a black kid whos parents moved him to live with his grandparents cause hes parents didn't want him hanging around gangs. He ended up starting a gang here, so now there was American gang culture influencing the young teens cause it was introduced to them

[@simonyip5978]

I don't think that many Japanese made clothes are sold in the US. Most Japanese and South Korean products are not cheap and low quality anymore, maybe decades ago but not thesesdays.

Yep... that's him. I lived up the street and would walk there and eat with friends from my building all the time. Very mellow dude. My girl Lisa P. grew up with him over there... she went to LA High school. I lived by the La Brea Tar Pits and went to Wilshire Crest, John Burroughs and Faifax. Grad from J. Burroughs in '84. I grew up with the some of the Mansfields before they started hustling... we just played football... Pop-Warner for Wilshire.

The Smokin’ Salmon dude. I’m from Phoenix. Arizona definitely different than LA. But you’re right we had Asians, blacks, and native Americans. We have them names like king fu Larry, karate bob, or chino. For blacks, crow, charcoal, shadow, or Moreno. Indians we called them flecha, Apache, Cochise. My cousin, Tavo, ran with crips. Didn’t speak a lick of English. They called him “taco loc” lol.
