Sad Boy Loko on Aspiring to Do Life in Prison When He Was a Young Kid

Sad Boy Loko opened up to VladTV about the negative aspects of joining a gang and his own experiences of joining when he was just thirteen. The West Coast rapper explained that he was always running with an older crowd and gangs became a way of life early on, which grew into aspirations of doing life in prison.
During the conversation, Sad Boy Loko spoke about how his perspective changed after he got older and had kids, adding that it makes him angry to think about his kids going down that path. To hear more of what Sad Boy Loko had to say, including how he thinks gangs could be stopped, hit the above clip.

[@MajorFactor]

When youre young and really in that life and seeing your OGs and people around you that you look up to getting that time and getting praised for doing that work of course youre gonna want to be just like what you look up to. Thats all they know. That street life is a whole nother lil world. Sounds crazy but it's a crazy life. I disagree on dude but i understand the street life mindset. Regular people wouldn't understand it.

[@gustavorobles5972]

[@underdoggrisingent.4322]

Idk why YALL SOUNDING SHOCKED lol this is the Life of almost EVERY Yung Hispanic Male in Cali, but since our stories have never been told, y'all wouldn't know.

[@hadoukencrew]

Jose Vera he aint on shit he just feels like the man since all the 12year old fans think hes some king pin lol he just glorify the street life in his raps

[@Quotez]

Augiz The Creator 12 yr old fans?? Haha you're a stupid ass kid. He doesn't have 12 yr old fans, he's not kanye west or your favorite lame ass rapper

[@ellokote4858]

Hes high af thats why its funny lol

[@omarquintero2479]

He has that mentality cuz if you doing life means you put in work for you hood and you get mad respect for being that "down" it's sad tbh

[@yoneezy123]

Basically

[@la-do-ra-ch6810]

Kids who grow up around that lifestyle is no joke. It's harder not to become a gang member than to be one. The influence is extremely hard and only people who grow up around this culture can understand. Nobody from the outside can understand...

[@johndoe7109]

Hitting the penitentiary is like college for gangsters and criminals, that's where you get schooled on how to be a better criminal.

[@bluecollar825]

For sure but I ain't never heard no one talking about wanting to do life smh lol

[@fkyofeelingz6640]

Glad to see his dream is finally coming true

[@RWAC685]

He Wants Better For His Kids, Respect. He Does Not Want Anyone To Go To prison, But It’s Reality, Damn.

[@evilgabe666]

I was young growing up in the ghetto. Never had inspirations of going to prison. Never would it cross my mind. I still dont understand shit like this.

[@Cali_luv213]

Mental discipline and respect for the law before initiation. Is what parents need to reinforce in children of the inner city.

[@MaseratiDuke]

Jobs won't just get rid of gangs. Becsuse those jobs pay minimun wage. You need education, WELL paying jobs and better police, community relations.

[@Slim545]

Mr Tibbs no you need hope and no poverty

[@vinny5638]

These idiots are aspiring to do life in prison & popping percs to lil pumps music, you really think theyre looking into an education? They want to fail & have fun and then blame their failures on "the system" because that's what failures do.

[@mexmurda976]

Vinny you're an idiot lmfao percs, Xans, and lean aren't a thing in the cholo community and we don't listen to Lil pump either. This dude is 27 years old not some ignorant ass 17 year old edgy no jumper fan

[@DUHKING24]

Mr Tibbs you kant get rid of gangs period as long as you have people the damage has already been set

[@calilifestyle2313]

I see this idiot every were I go no life having ass 😂😂😂

[@thejones7082]

lmfaoo i catch the wig splitters in comments everywhere since i started watching fresh out 🤣

[@ElcompaJay24]

Interviewee: I saw a ghost Vlad: I interviewed a Ghost before.

[@felipeoros8723]

I remember growing up with that same mentality. People on the comments saying wanting to do time in prison is "gay" and this nigga must not like pussy... But as a kid pussy isn't on your mind like that, and you don't associate being stuck in a cell as precious time wasted because most of the time you're still stuck in the block doing nothing. Movies and older heads make going to prison sound like a vato just graduated high school and is heading to the university, where you make connections you can utilize once you're back on the streets (which is true). But I was always about my grades. I would tell myself that if I did dirt, I had to hit the books just as hard. (had to make my mother and the hood proud) I make plenty of legit money thanks to my education, but its hard to break away from that hood mentality. Gang culture, power, homies that are down for you, having bitches on call with plenty of untaxed money to spend on selfish desires... its all too enticing for a man.

[@greenisgold1322]

Puro Oro very true. Underrated comment

[@DCMFR]

He's the 2nd Hispanic guy who said he aspired to do life in prison. First was Mr. Capone E. wtf is going on with these dudes?

[@MaseratiDuke]

Dame Capone E isn't latino, he's perpetrating the fraud.

[@carloszaragoza619]

There's more that aspire to do life in the barrio.

[@Betoven81]

[@vilemuse]

+dame thats only 2 ppl brah...

[@underdoggrisingent.4322]

Sadly homie this is Reality for many of my people. A lot of times in our lives the only Brown People we see w money or power are gang members so we aspire to be what we see

[@AaronTheMoses]

Now look... All that energy you had for prison and you're in a bad place. Free Loko

[@CrowKingZero]

You know what they say when you join a gang, you're going to prison or you're gonna end up dead. When they go to prison for life they know they saved themselves from death on the streets so in a sense they made it. That's why they would wanna end up in prison.

[@lakersubeezy]

Cuz said I started behaving I'm dead 😂😂😂

[@colinboni9921]

I still hope the best for him ...talented artist

[@ricardogarcia3536]

When I was in my teens I aspired to go to prison as well, not to do life but to make to the penitentiary, at that age you feel like you will have that street credibility and respect from the neighborhood and will be seen as one bad dude.. It was foolish of me to think that way but that's the mentality in the streets, I went to county jail a few times and said heck no this ain't for me, I love my freedom lol but its sad that our young generation still think that way and have lil to no guidance from older homies to lead them down a different path of violence and crime. I give thanks to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for delivering me from that mentality! I pray for those caught up in that life style and I share my experience when I get a chance with the younger generation hoping and praying maybe one will listen and make that change.

[@brandonwright2067]

Much respect to sad boy Loco for keeping it 💯 good music good dude.

[@hoodbusinesstv2lakeshoredo603]

good interview

[@kharyrobertson3579]

Gangs will never go away because its just another organization form that people participate in, and humans have evolved to coalesce into social networks. Gangs are just a label that are put on them because society likes to put names on things. There will always be support networks, regardless of what means they use to get resources to provide said support. If you want that style of organization to end you need to provide them a more lucrative option to feed and protect themselves.

[@kevin.a7973]

I grew up struggling but never let it hold me back or turn me to a life of crime. I work in a hospital now with nurses. Meanwhile my friend got connected to a 10 year cold case murder & being a g got him in prison smh I hate that gang life is still glorified.

I had the same mind set as a kid growing up in the streets, i grew up in Lennox and that's all i wanted to do was to get life, i ended up moving down south to GA, and i told my girl what my aspirations were as a kid and she couldn't understand it, people think it's stupid but it's kind of like growing up in a military family, if you're great grandpa and grandpa and dad all joined the military, most likely your gonna wanna join as well, it's the same shit with this

[@DiverseLA]

Why is this dude smiling about everything? He could be talking about losing a loved one to a drive-by and will have a smile talking about it.

[@ajs6657]

"LOOK AROUND U ESE" its every young hispanics dream to be a bad ass vato, well for most that were brought up in the hood. Plus the set he claims rules in jail so that wouldnt be a problem but luckily he made it out. E'ZUP XVIII

[@gensis9678]

People want to go to prison because when people are in a gang they have that mentality of of a badge of honor. Typically young people. If you hear older prisoners talk, they have full regret but when people are young they don't think until it's too late.

[@myaudiobookschannel3625]

Here's the truth: I grew up around these cats & they love being locked up, but they will never admit it. In jail/prison, they're actually important. Where as in the REAL WORLD, they're just another fish in a big ass ocean. In prison, they're big fish in a small pond. And as far as pussy, they either struggle to get it or it causes too much drama, so they don't sweat it. That's why Mexican gangsters have so much power in prison; they love prison life. I'm Mexican, but I decided to think like an Italian gangster when it came to breaking the law. You lose points in the mob if you go to prison. It's looked down upon. That's another reason why I stopped selling weed & got into white collar crimes instead. Check out my book. It breaks it all down. - Keymo (author)
