This interview is like precious gold thank u so much Alex💯🙏🏾🤝🏾🔥🔥

Never heard of Reno from PVCC but I’m pretty sure he was talking about the Late Great Reebo!

I gotta say. I look forward to his man's interviews. Worth the wait.

He’s saying Reno but he’s talking about Reebo

If my late brother had done an article in the Long Beach Press Telegram, I would have known about it. I also NEVER heard him brag about "running Lueders Park." I think Mr. Baker has Joey (aka Bartender) confused with someone else, and I'd like a citation/date of publication so I can find out who the person is that allegedly made those remarks. Also, If he had been beaten by police, I would have known. He would have told my family. I spoke to my mom almost daily and she kept me in the loop about my brothers. -- Joey was young when he did the Time magazine article and did not realize that a lot of what he said, would be received differently than what he intended. He especially had regrets about remarks he made about our parents, but young people often make remarks about parents getting on their case, while living under their roof. -- The incident where my brother was allegedly slapped (where Mr. Baker says "believe it or not" and I don't believe it at all) - I suspect is also about someone else, not MY brother. -- Finally, my brother died at Martin Luther King Hospital (where someone stole the shoes off his feet). Our family had NO connection to that hospital and my mother was not at King, when my brother arrived there. My mom worked in the business office of a hospital near her home. People get circumstances mixed up and stories get circulated that are accepted as "fact." If something is true, that is fine. But if it can't be documented, it's better not to put it out there about folks who are not here. Finally, it's never stated but my brother was hardly ever in Compton, when he died (which was December, 1976). He was dating someone in L.A and spent a lot of time there with her. He was in an apprenticeship program to be a butcher or meat cutter, settling down, maturing and making future plans. Sadly, he decided to go to that dance that long ago night and lost his life. -- How I wish life was like a movie and I could go back in time and persuade him to stay home. I discussed the gang culture with my brothers and how they came to be involved in it. I am not defending it, but when they explained to me how it all got started, I did gain an understanding of the mindset/culture of the time. Note: Dootsie Williams owned Dooto's, where my brother was shot. He also owned a record label that helped establish a lot of young talent coming out of the Hub City and surrounding areas.

Bring him back Alonzo , great stuff. Outstanding history

Excellent interview! You are doing a great public service by recording this information before it is lost to history.

He trying to get somebody shot he said yeah Donald gave you up 🤣🤣

Who in the hell is Bilcc Porkchop?????? that ran with Turtle.

He talking about Big Rebo (Rip) from Park Village CC

Damn. “Hey Cooper, Donald gave you up, man”. Wow… WOW. 🤦🏾‍♂️ 😆

Reggie Right Sr knew a lot of people from Compton also because he was our light man when he worked for California Edison
