I like the fact that the OG respects Kev's get down, and if you're invested (and I don't necessarily mean money) like we Maniacs are, that feels good cause its like he respects "our" get down. I still remember the OG from Venice telling Kev that towards the end, i.e., I like what y'all are doing. To me, that's Kev Mac Video's most valuable capital. That's how he got Jesse James. And to me, this really about black history. I've learned as much about our people's history as much as I've learned about gangs.

@larose6551 3 года назад

Well stated! The other platforms feel exploitive and lack genuineness. Kev has lived it along side of those he interviews. He’s also respectful of politics and past trauma of those who were on the frontline. I have learned so much history. Example being the segment with the Venice Sholine Crips. Redlining, unfair mandatory sentencing, 3 strike law, etc…

This Monson interview filled in many missing pieces for me alluded to in Bastards of the Party. I have a better understanding on the Panther influence on the Avenues; and the Avenue / Baby Avenue influence on Raymond Washington / Crips. This Monson interview also gives me more context to the murder of Bunchy Carter & John Huggins on Friday, January 17, 1969 at UCLA, Campbell Hall. Good work.

There’s a few more things he could have added for clarity but Raymond was younger so Craig didn’t have many dealings with the younger guys. Also, Moon said in his interview that Raymond didn’t come around until his teenage years so there wasn’t a lot of time between then and Monson going to Prison in 1970.

Kev Mac there is an elderly gentleman I know that grew up on the Eastside. He tells me he is an original Businessman. I’m not sure I can get him to talk to you. He is over 80 years old and mind is sharp as a tack. Next time I see him I’ll see if I can get him to speak on it.

@imaround5821 3 года назад

@complexblackness 3 года назад

Yea if he's over 80, he's definitely would be an original. He would have been there with Raymond "Suge" Wright, who was also an original. You can see him in the documentary "Bastards of the Party". He is the brother who said "We shut them down" referring to the Spook Hunters.
