Marcellus Wiley on Hating Gangster Lifestyle He Had to Adapt To in Compton (Part 9) 

The answer is not remove any of the stuff you named it about rethinking and feeling the right way about what is there... You can have sets n hoods with colors flying high. But it needs to be a respect. You can sell drugs but you cant try to snake and rat your way into or out of situations, you can have all the guns. But you dont need to worried about anyone coming at you for simply existing... Education is key, once hood ppl learn the system they have power over they can thrive, they can even suffocate the systems feeding on them... Alot of bangers in l.a. live in homes, those all got yards. You can grow ANYTHING in in l.a. pretty much. Just think if you have 6 pounds a year of weed per house in each hood. The amount of money saved. The rivalry goes into whos weeds the best. You cant legally sell it. But you dont have to... Its a big big situation that can happen but Men are going to have to heal from the terror applied to them from every angle. Looking like freeway rick has more freedom than looking like rick ross... But to be smart hurts... And alot of men aint ready to take that kinda pain📥. The gains come after📈

@TheGschultz i feel you. I wasn't in the most terrible spots but the mentality was there... Stopping people and showing them the good poor is whats gotta be accepted, everyone wanna be rich but aint no jobs... If people learned to grow they own food its better than a job because every day could be a party after some digging n watering... But its hard when you look on t.v. n see ppl who look like you doing things you can only dream of. Harder seeing what stability you do have being taken by the drug habbits. But people only started the drugs because the system failed them.... If they all had 6 pounds of weed a year at less than it cost for a cup of noodles a day they would FEEL alright. And if ur minds good n ur belly is full you really can be ok. But capitalism cant let that go on... So how do you keep those at the bottom strong while holdin up those who shine? You lay the whole thing down n let it go in a circle.

@TheGschultz yes there are enough good paying jobs. The problem is we gotta teach our young brothas and sistas that it's ok to work hard to take care of your family. Stop putting so much value on "stuff" and take care of your family

@@thcrtn true but also false cause as long a there are those who willingly choose to be lazy thief's that prey off others and extort there own there will never and can never be an even balance for all to be happy ,it's just life some men just wanna see people suffer and the world burn in chaos 😭

@@tayvaun09 i agree and i feel thats where gang culture can be positive. Along with reasons to not breed that kinda energy... If some1 wants to steal. They should have the balls to rob those who really steal from everyone daily and get the best tax breaks IF those people feel SOMEONE owes them. Its just a lack of mental strength...

He should be a TED speaker.

Divine Mind much respect man.i was raised differently than my homeboys.i would go to the hood daily and everyone would ask why do I hang with them,their own people would ask this. They would say I’m their role model,same age or older than me. They wanted a change but just couldn’t do it.

Genuine Vibes Yeah, it’s a lot of brothers in the hood that are collateral damage but don’t wanna see other brothers with real potential ruin their lives, it’s sad cause they’ve accepted that there is no other life outside of self destruction

Facts

@Rahim Muhammad Then after they get locked up like"FREEWAY RICK" & "TOOKIE" they feel guilty after all of the destruction they have caused on their communities & wanna know bring about positive change smh.

ZionAmariTV man the other part of the story is the part about them stealing a 1200 dollars from me..Had to take that loss,because there WAs once loyalty. Now I stay out the hood and raise my son. Oh and I got that 1200 back many times fold since then,so God was blessing my lack of retaliation.💯

Im a prime example of that. I grew up in DC an my whole life was nothing but violence and once I moved away it took me a LONG time to realise that I don't need to be the same person I used to be.

Exactly. People keep making excuses instead of realizing that their adult life is based on their choices.

@@gamebred5662 I feel you. I'm from Baltimore and had to do the same thing. Now only if black people from Baltimore and DC could stop the hate.

@@gamebred5662 salute

What if you like violence?

🤣🤣

Hahahahahaha

Lol

@Toussaints' Wrath What the hell are you talking about? I simply put a time marker so people could find the part that was described in the title... "Marcellus Wiley on Hating Gangster Lifestyle He Had to Adapt To in Compton"

@Toussaints' Wrath Dude you got a screw loose. There was no intention or ill will. Vlad titles these videos and then the subject in the title doesn't com up until well into the video. Its like when someone posts the track titles and times for an album. It just helps people get to the part of the video in the title... good luck.

Me too. I support him.

You could start by not using the word nigga. And second stop writing it with cc 😂

Work on your grammar brother. I'm not talking shit.

@Andre Comer You shut up boy. Take that energy elsewhere you damn parasite.

Dude its yall that make it hard for decent hardworking black man.

@@tysonDK My bad my nicca I'll find a better word to replace that. Not. FOH.

r0mediddy it’s telling me the video uploaded 3 minutes ago but your comment is from 40 minutes ago. Are you god?

@@damitrimoore he is a profit goat!! 😂😂😂😂🙌🙌🙌🙌

How tf he comment damn near a hour before the video gets posted

r0mediddy you the FEDs bro?

Zeke V lmao nah. Although I’d take their salary lol.

Lmaooooooooooo exactly

wallbanga17 When the Cat’s away the Mice will play. 😂😂😂

Because when you move to the better place and you say im from this or this place, the local think you are hard because you from the hood, or sometimes just because you are black lol. So then you become popular and meet the local thugs and become a gangster 😂😂😂

@@Anthonydu01630 True

Wasn’t Ice Cube raised in the suburbs?

The same cube who went a charter school raised in the burbs? Yeah right

Lived in Rialto too in the late 80s and early 90s.

Moving to san bernardino is the worst thing for LA people. Especially in the 90s

San Bernardino was not the suburbs

@@rashadnassor7519 it was even worse in the late 90s early 2000

@@jjez1689 not sure if you know the definition of the suburbs but at that time especially with the low population.... It was

Dude really is. I like hearing his perspective

@Chumnley snoop so its buc dancing when it doesn't fit your narrative

💯💯💯

Wiley is great

I agree 💯

amielio williams don’t blame hip hop! Music been fucked up!

So true....the music is fucking up our natural vibrations

Agree/Disagree people got be smarter than that, and when rappers don't speak about that their hypocritical fans dissappear they spam on their account " oh i miss the old you ( when you was struggling in the streets, selling drugs, gangbanging etc"

I agreed with you, Crime and violences have always been a part of the American culture before Rap music. Drugs, guns and slavery "racism" have always been a problem, started way back. Gangs in the minority started in the late 60's after King and X got assassinated.

Growing up I felt it was Gangsta Supremacy rather than White Supremacy I had to watch out for.....

Yea you right bro now let's all go in a corner and cry together

Its not that easy. All human problems have many many many angles n details. But humans dont like to take time to figure. You pointing fingers and saying they pointing fingers... Gang life is a religion, and it has a god. A few infact. Its just war. And until you understand war you cant understand gangs. Its not the sides. Its the causes the environment the fuel... Go study the art of war. And see how non artistic that hood war is. Go study the start of hiphop. And weeks before it. Then go study present day battlerap. You will see the gods of war AND metal can still feed without a single human life being lost. Its just how smart are you with your energy... I may sound dumb. But i take time to respect a problem and see it solved not push it along...

Instead of hate them help them... square ass fool......

@@Sedloc777 im saying. Nerds be fraid to talk to a nigga, a mans a man, if u spit some real shit you can earn respect...

Bean Brewer Nice EP. I like that song rat heads

@@jknumber5138 no disrespect but rat heads was on the album federal. They came out the same year tho so you're close

Alright💯. I know about Element of Surprise. 1998 was my favorite year in Hip Hop

“”Mirror in my pocket so I practice looking hard” - E-40” - Boots Riley. Both Bay Area greats.

@@danielyoung5249 the sample ftw.

PuffDoe fr Lol but he’s just curious like most people who don’t come from Hood they get a thrill off the entertainment & some of them actually do wanna understand & know what exactly goes on in the hood lifestyle they just don’t wanna experience it in first person😂💯💯

Hes white. Thats all there is outside living in a gap commercial.

“The reason I never wanted to go to jail is after watching American Me” 😂

And I love it. Vlad does good interviews, and I’ve learned allot from hood channel good or bad

Vlad's not perfect. He does a lot of interviews, some better than others. It's a lot of content. Sometimes he talks too much. Sometimes he doesn't. Sometimes he asks good questions. Sometimes he doesn't. He has created a platform which allows prominent people to lay down their thoughts and a video chronicle of events. 100 years from now it will be considered a historical video encyclopedia.

Facts don't that shit seem crazy

wisewilltcp now it is but before in the 90s n 80’s it was a warzone

Suburb=neighborhood outside of the main larger city (Los Angeles).

wisewilltcp Cicero Illinois is a suburb. Al Capone made it a war zone, people thought it was in Chicago. Ain't nowhere safe

That's one issue you live a lie . DC ain't got shit to do with Waldolf or Fredricksburg .You bammas keep coming to the city looking for trouble instead of coming looking for opportunities to make your life better.

Ali Baba Heru I’m DC born & bred and have friends & relatives who live in both Waldorf & Woodbridge, I don’t know where you got Fredericksburg from, who’ve seen families with housing vouchers (single mothers with bad ass kids/teens) who’ve moved into these surrounding suburbs and bring crime elements from the city to the suburbs.

Wiley is a HERO for black culture in America.... that there is freedom!

I'm born and raised there. That's why I call it "San Bernaghetto". Glad I'm not there anymore.

Rob Thomas isn’t that in Canada? I’m talking about California bro lol

Rob Thomas stfu

*Afghanistan is better than San Bernadino. Allah chingada.*

How does it compare to up here in the bay? Oakland? Richmond

I totally agree. Gangster is thriving and evolving on your own terms.

No. Gangster means committing crimes. You can’t take that word and make it positive. It’s not positive at all. What you described is the opposite of gangster.

@@christianrapper Good point.

A podcast! Yep!

He also has a point about baseball hats, out here it’s real bout what teams really mean,

3ClapsandaRicFlair thank you vlad is fucking ignorant

What was the lie that vlad told on Azie

ORIGINAL GANJA BABY he said Azie said in the interview that he did with Vlad that “He never knew Chiles” which isn’t what Azie said

rgtowns I got the whole point I just hate he used a innocent man with a proven guilty mans name. Secondly I don’t have any videos that need to be viewed so idk what you talking bout

rgtowns plus hating and disagreeing is two different things homie. I disagree with how he used Chris Johnson’s name and I don’t agree with him misquoting lying whichever word you wanna use on Azie to a known person that doesn’t like him and yet to apologize that the public knows of maybe he corrected this issue behind closed doors 🤷🏾‍♂️

Yes he is. Haters on the Democratic plantation should take notes

Took me a long time to learn I don't gotta be the person I once was

@@gamebred5662 Nupuqi Om-Re Khonectics chamber degrees will guide you

That's deep.

I love it. Screw the haters.
