There’s a clip of a guy throwing a bottle in front of passerby’s vehicles for no reason other than to be a nuisance. These gangs are fighting over drugs and territory, committing robberies and every other illegal act gang members participate in. You’re out of your mind if you think military service members and gang members are anywhere near the same. One is fighting in an attempt to maintain the standards of their country with exceptional rights, the other is fighting to look cool and jump kids that looked at them funny on a sidewalk.

THeir houses get shot up in some wild gang war, their sister, brother, freiend dies, and they feel like they now need to join the frey and get back at those who wronged them. Topped off with a lack of a solid house hold it's no wonder they find themselves in trap houses with a bunch of other gangsters that welcome them in, feed them, and give them drugs to escape their reality.....And then the cycle continues...

For those wanting more info, and to stop the spread of misinformation. His real name is Bruce (source: 48 hours: Gang street), he lived on Fraley in the Lime Hood (source: Facebook accounts of people in the area, who were around at that time [with other important names being Dusty, Lil Bone, Handz, Wolf, Tone Bone, Ducky Hood, and Boston (Dusty Loc, Boston, Wolf, and Handz are in this interview)]). Tone Bone is the light skin one and was killed 4 days after the interview (R.I.P). The guy rapping was part of Piru MOB and was sentenced for killing Ducky Hood, he was 15 at time of interview. Other than that, they are all ok, Dusty Loc is still alive (Source: Mellymel interviewed Lime Hood on his KZbin channel and confirms that Dusty is alive). Hope that answers everyones questions, and please don't believe people that are in the comments talking about everyone getting smoked with their source being "trust me bro".

it's rare to see someone rapping a story, people don't usually understand the fact that it is missing from the rap genre nowadays on purpose! Story tellers always die early!

[@thatneo4133]

king von was basically the last of them

[@AcidPhos69]

Aesop Rock still raps stories in songs like: Ruby '81, Blood Sandwich, The Harbor Is Yours, etc. But yeah, not like is used to be with Slick Rick and shit.

People here should look into the griselda crew. OGs that have all dropped great, real hip hop albums in the last 6 months. Also pusha T dropped this week, people saying no real rap is coming out, tf you mean

[@BigWheel.]

It's all just flexing and fake BS nowadays. Dudes talking bout their hard upbringing without any elaboration then talking about how many hoes they fucked and how fast their Rolls Royce can go.

[@jacobgubler2220]

Wow that went a lot better than I thought it would I expected that reporter to get jumped or something but they just answered his questions and were open hearted

[@bringerofmolochswrath5477]

that freestyle at the end was fire

[@ChrisOnMission1]

Back when people were talking and listening to each other. Kind of absurd to see that murderous gangsters from the eighties are more proficient in the skill of communication than all these "experts" nowadays.

[@johnm84]

Yes it's insane. Peoples communication skills today are so poor because people today spend most if not all their spare time on their smartphones.

[@ClickClack_Bam]

What??? I was around in the 80's you must not have been. The amount of murders back then were some of the highest in the history of America. It was so bad that serious criminal reform took place.

Respect to everyone. The reporter, the gang, everyone. 17, to live like that, and be honest about it. It's all feuds, everywhere, someone else's feuds that the young are expected to die for. This kid recognised that, and accepted it. This gang acts no different to countries, how they treat their soldiers. If you have a problem with gangs, which you really should, you surely have to have a bigger problem with your own selfish government

Reporter: "Why be in a gang?" In summation: "Look at where I'm from. I'm a product of my environment. I embrace it. I'm proud of it." Sometimes the answers are simple.

When "gangs" still had attitude, respect for each other and life in general. When hard drugs had not destroyed a generation either by addiction or corruption. When money was the big dream but not more important than family and friendship.

[@aitismarka9483]

Apparently going about murdering other people is respecting life in general.
