What Kevmac and his crew is doing is documenting our street history, from the proper perspective. Which is our perspective! Far too long we have allowed others to tell our story and profit. Many times these other folks will slant or edit words or video to fit their narrative. In general we have a bad habit of not documenting things, we tend tell stories but not always keeping record. This is keeping record. KMV is one brick in our building of documentation.

@LigaFantasma 3 года назад

Honestly I think things would turned about the same. If Raymond Washington had stayed an Avenue he probably would have pushed them in the same direction as Crips - expansion into other neighborhoods, annexing other gangs etc. Starting a supergang was obviously his big goal in life. Also, somebody was going to fill that vacuum of open territory in 69/70. Maybe the Brims would have been the big gang everybody else was against. maybe BPS.

For everyone that listened to the rugged one Mr Munson speak on breaking 2x4 with a punch is a perfect example of what Sanyika Shakur was talking about the Titans of old era L.A. lifting weights to knock somebody out with one punch. I got my biscuits on and they clean. I don’t have time to be tussling with you. When I hit you I’m going to knock you out. Even though I prefer throwing it from the shoulders I can understand why guns came into play. It was because of the OG giants roaming around back then.

And crazy thing is people was trying to make Jimmy Lavender seem like he was crazy and almost make it seem like it was taboo to think that Craig slapped Raymond. History is history and if you're into history (in general) like I am, you know it gets annoying when you're trying to understand the picture in its totality of what happened and there's some ppl with biases, so they leave certain information out. I do believe a lot of people knew about the slap but they'd never speak on it and a lot of ppl didn't think it happened but I applaud Jimmy for putting the truth out there and sticking by his word, regardless of all the ppl that felt some type of way about it

Listening to all this history and watching it fit together like puzzle pieces is crazy. You hear history from Munson point of view being older than Tookie and Raymond and then looking up to Munson then you hear other people who was younger and looked up to Raymond and Tookie and just to hear the different stories and perspectives during those times is crazy. Getting slapped is what started a whole 4-5 generations of bangin Crips and a whole culture. Only thing we missing is Raymond and Tookie perspective. Would love to hear that.

This sound like the realest story about how it started and where the name came from

@DanielReyes-zu8em 3 года назад

Definitely. The real story is always quite simple and not as sexy as the legend that evolves over time. This all goes to show that the Crips weren't influenced by the Panthers, nor were they ever political in nature. It was all started by the bruised ego and determination of a young man named Raymond Washington. Just a tough kid that wanted to start the toughest gang.... It's just too bad it devolved into what it did...

I don't believe he asked Raymond what he was gonna call his gang .. I smell a little extras.. Great to hear his story. Great interview overall

I believe Raymond Washington must’ve been impersonating Victor Adam walk long before the Crips Started

Think Craig was referring to Zero Period. Some schools still let you go in before school starts to make up or gain extra credit. Lots of teachers do not teach that early and not many students willing to do such. My senior year I was able to get into a zero period for an AP test, because, our AP teacher fell ill and we had a substitute most second semester and we were not properly prepared. Another teacher volunteered, but, we did not get credit, as, it started after the semester started. I graduated High School 2004

I just slept in my Spanish class and Mrs. Rodriguez passed me with a C1A for good behavior. My algebra teacher failed me said you have good behavior, so I am going to give you a choice. You can come to summer school to try to pass or I can give you a passing grade and avoid summer school.

Its AMAZING how the streets operate. R.I.P. Monster (An assault as a kid (Robbed of his dime at school) programmed a Street General) R.I.P. Raymond (A backhand from Monson created a Worldwide sea of Blue) Adversity creates Adversaries unwillingly.

This comment is straight facts. I want to add something else to your comment. When I was in elementary school the dark skin girls gave the light skin girls hell. In middle school the dark skin girls reign supreme still giving the light skin girls hell beating them up left and right but when we entered HighSchool the tides changed because the light skin black girls fought so much through elementary and middle school until when we reached HighSchool they were seasoned fighters and they started giving the dark skin girls hell. I witnessed it up close. I wonder did that social dynamic happen at any other schools. The dark skin vs dark skin has always been a negative eyesore in black communities and still is today but the dynamics I’m speaking on is the fighting part.

They are restoring the weights and weight bench and the yard under construction so Monson didn't want me to film any of that.

Big Monson has a great memory... but does anyone else get the feeling that he's downplaying how violent the Avenues really were? They might not have been a gang in the sense that the Crips or Bloods were, but they were definitely wild -- robbing jackets, robbing chicken coops, knocking out teachers, fighting the Eses' with bumper jacks....etc... There might not have been shootings and killings, but there was violence. Monson looks like he could still knockout roughly 95% of humanity today with those hands... Imagine him at 21/22 years old...

@troubleman3837 3 года назад

Taking and selling drugs, stealing, going to the pen for a body Most definitely downplaying.

@DanielReyes-zu8em 3 года назад

@@troubleman3837 - Definitely. They were some gangster ass muhfukas... Big Monson is like a sweet old grandpa now, but back in the day, they were some real ones...
