WESTERN CONFERENCE PODCAST EPISODE 005: BOO-YAA TRIBE GAWTTI, KOBRA & MONSTAH GANJAH

[@Dapper_Dean]

As a Filipino youngan back in the 80's. We mostly had the DJ's(Q-Bert, MixMaster Mike, and DJ Apollo) and breakdancers to represent us. But no rap groups. But as soon as the Boo-Yaa Tribe single Raid came out. It was the closest thing to our culture. The Pacific islander culture. Man I was proud to carry the Raid 12" single at my high school. The miulis was scared to say something bad about the record, because the Usos was gonna let them have it. That was my 1st memory of the Boo-Yaa Tribe and their music. Big up to the sick uso poppers(Kobra, Fred Lau, and Heckle and Jeckle) too. 🤙🏽✊🏽💪🏽

Say I was coming up in Htown TX and first time I heard or seen anything BYT a Polynesian neighbor of ours had his grandsons come visit him from California and we were youngins maybe 12 yrs old and we hit it off im half Mexican half Colombian born in Texas and bro was cool cat and he showed me how they did it on the west coast and I was like yo them cats looked mean and tough.. I always used to get a laugh when I seen Boo Ya Tribe dance that boogie.. but shout out to Jay... last I seen him was 93,94 damn near 30 years my Samoan bro..

In 1991, I met The Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E back in Los Angeles. I first saw them on a TV show called "After Hours"; I learned that they were in a Japanese prison, and they changed their lives around. I wanted to meet these guys; put it all in the Hands of the LORD, and a month later, I met them at a club called Vertigo, and low & behold my eyes, I saw The Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E make their presence known. I went over to them, I got to shake hands with Godfather Rock, Gangsta Ridd, Cobra, Monsta O, King Folsom, and Murder One. Ever since then, I was honored and blessed to be in the presence of The Devoux Brothers, and till this very day, I still speak very highly of them, and I'm glad to call them my friends. Thank you Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E, and I hope to see you again, but I've got to get off of Hawaii, and come back to California for a visit see friends and family, and I intend to see the Boo-Yaa's again.

I always bring up the stories about Booya Tribe. During the East Coast / West Cost beef. I was at the Felly Fell (Power 106 Dj). All these NY tough guys were there walking around looking tough. Until Booya Tribe showed up. After all these HUGE Samoans came, everyone turn into polite and it was like oil and water. People respected their space and turned Harry Potter fans. Kobra dancing like he was only one in the club. LoL, at first I thought they were HUGE Latinos. 😂😂😂😂

[@elloryngedebuu119]

They should make a movie all about you guys,... much respect 🙌 🍻🍻

[@Team_Killer_NZ]

I went to your performance in New Zealand , I was too young to appreciate it but seeing you bring it up reminded me. Much love from west Auckland usos 🇳🇿 🇼🇸

[@rickonassis]

I grew up in Harbor City that bordered with West Carson and knew exactly who these dudes were. Proud to see fellow Harbor Area dudes leave their mark in history

[@car1it05WAY]

[@napu2652]

IDEA: for the Boo Ya T.R.I.B.E documentary or 9th album, if possible, because it’s long overdue, a closing video featuring D-BOY in place of his uncle GANGSTA RIDD, B REAL, & EM on the legendary track 911.

[@Massimono]

You guys need to make a movie about youse. How godfather was chosen to be godfather. How gotti was the young one with the muscle. How all you would walk into a club and all eyes on you. How Monday ganja wouldn’t be around but for respect from turnouts because of the family. How deathrow wouldn’t fuck with you guys cause they were scared, even though Suge was known for his ways.

[@bruddahj3323]

Great interview and gawtti coming with a great fight story. Is roscoe still pet of the group?
