The Blood Gangs Formative Years 1969-1974 

21:16 - 21:49 an example of why I came to appreciate Kev Mac Videos for years now...journalism with integrity/without an ulterior motive

I'm 55 yrs old and I remember when we only used 135ives PIRU. We did not start saying Blood until the 7th grade at Perry Jr. High School.

Im 60yrs of age an Im Keith Peddler . Im agreeing with AC Moses an LiL Ceasar an Mr Hanibal aka OG Frog who's storyline are basically correct an leaving know doubts!!!!

This Channel is a Time capsule for gang history Kev Mac the Goat 💯

Kev Mac Videos Scores Another Major Classic Interview

AC HASN'T LOST A DEBATE YET

Anyway... The Phrase " What's up Blood " was used all over the country in the late 60's by guys coming back from Viet Nam. We called each other " Blood Brother's , No way Blood, what you talking about Blood " all these things were common sayings and used all the time. I remember the OG Inglewood Crips saying , calling each other Cuzz in the early 70's. 71-72. As far as the Chaingang at Morningside from 71- 74 I never remember Any Chaingang/ Family calling each other Blood. " We Called each other Brother or Comrade ".... Ask the Guys from Inglewood high how they addressed each other at that time from 71-74. .... SINBAD 👑

I’m still rollin with A. C.

Imagine how much stronger we’d be as a people if these dudes could’ve stuck together and built something like the panthers tried to do

I'm giving mad props to OGs on both sides sitting down with Kev to give us the history and knowledge.

Good content.. Kev Mac. Salute to you... From ya long lost friend..

Thanks again kev I appreciate your work!

I am 52 years and I can remember the term Cuzz And Blood both being used as standard greeting's all my life as a small boy. I never heard the term blood applied to any specific street gang or group until at least 1975,76 or so, cause back then everybody said "Blood" 1st. And as far as Brims, Piru's, Swans DL's, etc, I recall hearing about them but never unified under one Name As Bloods until much Later. Early 70's, 74 or so, I recall my Uncle's homeboy Ronny saying "PIRU How about You", who was also the younger teen brother to a Crip, But never heard anyone Identifying it with being synonymous with the Blood term until Crippin was in Full Effect with the stylized Color Code and Blue Rags. "Chitty Chitty BANG bang Nuttin But Crips N thangs" with the girls having the signature peroxide red Spot on their Hair to symbolize that they were Criplelttes. I understand JokoMoe Saying how his Pops Called him a Blood because my Grandfather as well as other older Men in the community would use that term. But I don't believe his Pop's meaning was to apply it to a Street gang affiliation of any particular set or Hood. I feel It was the Logical and Organic choice for All Non-Crip Affiliates that would Stand in opposition against a Powerful and Fast-growing Enemy I never heard the term GANG BANGIN or seen anybody Fly that Red Rag in West LA or South Central/Athens really, until late 75-79, nor did I see anything that could be used as a Specific Gang Identifier for other non-Crip hoods. I can truly say, I hadn't ever seen anybody, as they say, "Flamed uP" and Calling themselves Bloods until the Late70's early 80's.

Liked it and the video didn’t even start yet!!

I'm 50 years old from North Carolina and in 1985 my mother was considering for me to go live in Inglewood California to live with her best friend because I was getting in trouble a lot. She had no idea of the gang violence because her friend was in the process of moving out there herself. Picture that!! I can only imagine how I would have been treated being from another state. Thank God it didn't happen 🙏

A Crip named Robert Beamon that attended Washington High and Henry Clay Jr High with me, he told me a story about how he an some friends got jumped in Compton. The dudes that jumped them said "we knew yall was Crips because you said cuzz" this was 1975 at Los Angeles High School when I heard this, this is when I found out that blood/cuzz mattered.

Still waiting on the Swans, Denver Lanes, Athens Parks, etc to talk about this but I guess it may never happen at this point

Salute to you. That was some great editing.

Kev put this together to where it was respectful and it didn’t take away from any OG who talked perspective. It’s pretty much listen and you decide for yourself.

Great content Kev Mac the history is very important 👌🏿

Remix...good one Kev Mac

💯kev that boy AC descriptions are legendary "hay watch this" "what's up cuz" "what's up blood" "man what tha fuc they talking bout what that mean" he put you right there💯lil Cesar definitely one of my favorite historians from kmv very well spoken brother with real knowledge. I aslo see the conviction of Elgin and Jackomo who perception may have been different. Much respect to all the Big Homies

Very well put together👍🏆💯

AC MOSES HAS THE REALEST STORIES

Hahah “he def had hands, he knew how to mix the blender on you good, and dust you off real quick!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Inspiring Kev Mac & S Mac I'm trying to do Ft.Worth history in the SAME fashion...I appreciate you homie!!!

My uncle said he first saw a red flag in early 75 at the beginning. Then he stated in 75 that's when he started seeing certain groups and areas wearing red and red flags...

SouthEast Dago tappin in...Been rockin wit kevmac since day 1. 3 damu sets outta dago were started with LA influence. 59 BRIMS, EASTSIDE SKYLINE PIRU AND THE UPTOWN EMERALD HILLS BOUNTY HUNTERS/BLOODS

We Need More Interviews from AC Moses! 🤣 I cant understand what the hell he be saying half the time 🤣

That AC intro is a certified classic, automatic💯💯💯

You got to love AC Babalouie and Little Cesar ✊🏾

One Other thing I noticed on the subject was how the Brothers said the police had a lot to do with stirring up the pot with their own ideas and Terminology and definitions. It can also be said that a more sinister and hidden hand could have played a big part in this uprising and culture creation of this new faction, although Babaluie shows undisputed facts about the actual reasons for the formation of the Bloods in the Pen, once the authorities found a suitable rival it became very easy to come with the Psyop... 2 movies were made at the end of that 70's decade 1978 you get The Movie YoungBlood which Happens to be the name of the Main Character. This flick played not only in the Matinee's all over LA and abroad, but it played for like 2 years. It was filmed in an uncharted part of west LA and Hollywood so you weren't gone really have no real interference while making it LA in because they knew from the news how serious this thing could get. Staring: Brother Larry Hilton Jacobs, The brother from the TV show Welcome back Carter And the Movie Cooley High. The Movie was Clearly a close play on the Bloods, The Leader Romell, who wore a Green Army jacket like the brother Spoke at the beginning of this video when he spoke on the Leader of the Green jackets put the word out on profiling all cats in Crip attire dressed Nutty. If you see the movie you can clearly tell that the opposing Gang known as the Daltons are the representation of the Crips waring blue beanies Levi's and bomber Black Flap Jackets. the Movie was filmed I believe in parts of School Yard or Gear Gang territory of that year. The Next year in 1979 We Get the WARRIOR's although it wasn't LA gang culture that Movie Fand the Flame of Chaos for the new generation to come. If you was still dancing to the music of Greese with John Travolta who also played a Gang Member as one of the T-Bird's as well as Saturday Night fever with all them Gang Bangin on the Puerto Ricans at their clubhouse where they drove the 64 Impala through the front door as well as all the other inuendos by the end of the Warrior's, a chunk of the Teen movie-going Masses were ready to Join up wit Somthin Fa ShO. HollyWood Had a Hand in this Shit ToO, Then Came COLORS in the '80s.

What i think is interesting from my take is they started unified as crips then went branched to gangster, ug, neighborhoods, block etc wanting they identity and these brothers were individuals first villains, swans, piru, brims, bishops etc then became together as bloods

I grew up in Detroit. I can remember the term ' Blood' being used in the late 60s early 70s alot of the Vietnam vets used the word as a greeting. What's up young blood? Im 62

KEV... always on deck!!!! GOOD SHYT

Harvard Park brims!!! Southside of Los Angeles CA. Called South Central!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌

I believe AC Moses His Blood inception makes the most sense, Elgin and Jackamoe stories aren’t lining up with all due respect.

Once I Hear The K Mac Video Intro I know I'm About to Hear Historical Blood Or Crip Events out of The L.A County

You can tell that Gang shit real out there they always gotta remember the exact years shit started. Can you imagine them drunk or high arguing about it...Some people get they wigs split.

Have to do another interview with the Brims either fruit town or vng also BPS, SWANS & AFC

Looking from the outside and being 61, I have mad respect for all gangs but the bloods are totally unique to me. Being outnumbered and always being challenged but stood your ground needs to be recognize! To all my brothers in that lifestyle, please be careful

Kinda hard to say when bloods really started but a.c. Sounds the most accurate to me

THE RED BANDANA MET NOTHING BUT PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII - "RU" 1973 , & BLOODS 1974 YTS , 1976 BLOODS ON THE STREETS , THE EVOLUTION!!

JACKAMOE said AR CHIVES INSTEAD OF (AR KIVES) SO U KNOW HE DON'T KNOW WHAT 🙄 HE TALKING ABOUT LOL 😆😂🤣😄😅

Kev we need a peace treating '92 doc with the og's

Good show

from what i heard one guy got shot because of a girl and the piru retaliated ,because of that the enemy said they were roosters and the pirus liked it and formed the red bandana because of the red on a rooster and the bloods name started being used shortly after that.what ever year that was but sounded like it was very early on in the 70s.

I'm glad I was scary during my so called gang banging times. So many of my homies I trauma bonded with locked up or passed from this shit...whether crips started on some revolutionary shit or not now is the time to protect us...its still a interest of mine Asé Raymond Washington Asé T Rodger shid Asé Kev mac keep going my brother I honestly look up to you

If, we sat on the same block at each corner. And " Something happened in the middle of the Block"... That's 1,2,3 different views because the " Person in the middle of the Block has his up close view the guys on the corners didn't see ". .... Somewhere in the middle is the truth. Or, maybe everybody's " VERSION IS THE TRUTH THEY KNOW ".... HMMMMM .....SINBAD

Salute to the Big Homies!! B.I.P. T Rodgers and all the fallen soldiers WOOP!! WOOP!!

FREE MAD RONALD FROM THE 20s DEFINITELY WOULD LOVE MORE HISTORY FROM THE 20s THAT ISNT HASNT BEEN SHOWN YET

Little Caesars hitting that stick man in his first video he's fast he play like he's not chilled out fella but he's quick 💪👍💯✌️

Bounty Ru Brims…….Lil Ceasar (IFGB), Barefoot Pookie (West Side Crips), Frog (Bounty Hunters), Sinbad (IFGB) and Cat Ceasar (76 ECC) all back up AC Babalouie story on origin of Bloods…….1974 (Youth Authority)…..1976 (Streets)…..

Basically after a point, if you weren't a Crip, you were considered a Blood in Cali. Not matter what your clique called itself. Their hands were forced. My Godfather was a Mason from the South. When he first saw gang signs, he was shocked how closely they were related to fraternal organizations. He always said "somebody gave that to them, they didn't come up with that way of identifying themselves".

AC know what he talking about

It's good Kevmac is doing this first b4 anyone else to much history stolen

What did og say when the video first came on I can’t hear em fr

It makes sense that it happened in jail to categorize the different guys.

Kev.mac is active ✔ 💯

AC reminds me of the cookie monster the way he talks. Lol

what did AC say ".... under bulldogs arm" could someone write it down please

When you think about it all makes sense now cause back in the day, up until the 90s so called Blood gangs always identified themselves simply by their neighborhoods and that was it. Hardly ever added Blood on the end.

From my observation this seems like AC and Caesar are saying the same and on the same page. And the way Kev edited the video I don't know if he did it on purpose 🤔🤔or it just happened like that but it seems he is using Caesars interview to help people overstand what AC is saying in AC interview(when it cuts from AC to Ceasar)since people have been saying they can't overstand AC because how he talks especially when someone is liein to him in his face...🤣🤣🤣(I could always overstand AC) but that was hard Kev...👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💪🏾💪🏾!! Everyone except Elgin and Jack(which are brothers) line up to AC time-lines. People front on AC because he his self said he was a crip first and brought the cat out the bag about how Piru's were Crips at one time 😳 But keep up the great work Kev....you killin them. You keep sharpening your craft and it shows....got to respect that!! Amen brotha Kev!!

It sounds like what AC did in prison set forth a alliance and a slang word that was made poplar by that alliance. The Bloods. This goes to AC.

Matter of fact Blood Stone Villian & R20 Outlaws in the Bottoms go back further then most other Blood gangs.

shot out to the founders of the bloods they paved the way and made it easier for the bloods today to exsist

Johnathan George was central city turned Brim gang after Big Country came to Daygo. I'm not Brim but I think it's right

blood stone villians are not p stones or stones. they are bloods that came later, 2nd generation bloods i believe. i know because i grew up in a villians neighborhood

This video is well put together to break down the facts. Salute to Kevmac. Piru & bounty hunters evolved blood to mean a word to challenge cuz in YTS in 1974. Inglewood evolved the red to represent blood that’s y Inglewood is majority blood.

The OG be in AZ, he be coming in the my store at times

He knew how to mix the blender up real good 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I sincerely believe that AC Moses/King Bobalouie's testimony to be more precise

It would be nice if u could get all those guys together and debate that topic.

Elgin seems like he's still up to something lmao idk what but he just comes off shaddY without the .380 lol that's just my opinion

Lil Tone from LA Brims was in YTS in 1972 for Killing to Harlem Rips.

AC is hysterical when he gets worked up...lool.. He reminds me of a black version of the clown Captain Spaulding from Rob Zombies movies "House of 1000 Corpses" and "The Devils Rejects."...lmaoo

A.C. AND LIL CEASER......💯💯💯💯💯

Piru & Brim existed before Crips & Bloods came about but so did every other pre existing gang. It’s just those 2 held the most influence on Anti Crip gangs coming together* Brims in 1972 got together with Outlaws ,BlackStones & Hoover Park Family - Piru in 1973 got together with Luedars Park & Bounty Hunter ; By 1974, all of the Anti Crip gangs are allies & the rest is history 💯

Im far from an expert but i seen an old RU-vid video with a dude was talking about the crips and denver lanes etc. He didnt sya they were bloods he spoke of them as if they were separate gangs. Big shot out to the person that edited and spliced these videos. AC was kind of funny in some parts.

If red is in your blue, you got a super army

Nothing is forever all things will change new generation era will come with a different mindset and start they own with no ties to the old ways of doing things 💵🎒💨💨🔥

What’s up with the BPS interviews and the SWANS interviews?

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Lil Ceasar str8 to it you on the radar

PIRU BOUNTY HUNTER BRIMS TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT

I never really hear Crenshaw Mafia in these debates

I like what king say "why was you a blood" and barefoot say the same Most don't see the blood was always they omw gang and still till this day its BH Piru Familys Brims Lanes Swan Be Bob and STL

AC =TRUTH

Ac got a point but my pops is right, when yal was locked up shit was goin down but not to say the ones in prison didn’t know everything they new a Lil but not everything an A LOT of shit was transforming. WsB cPP 148 149 NWA Ruboy Tae aka baby jackamoe az 8line Kev u a legend for this. Shout out to all the dinosaurs of this gangbangin shit on both sides. Represent ur neighborhood wit peace inshallah

son wit thee uhhhhhh black hat 😂😂

Kev Mack The Brims we're fighting vs Crips as soon as they started.. The Crips were the new gang, and didn't take off on the Eastside like they did once Raymond Washington took it to the Westside.. Before the Crips the tribes were more on the black tip, wasn't, jumping or robbing other blacks, when the Crips began they weren't with that. Thus, those older tribes were forced to unite begetting the Bloods. Kev don't make it seem like the Crips had no resistance from the Pirus in Compton, the BH or the Brims.. You want the real, come to the Brims, Big Angel, Toni Lucious, Katnip, Eddie Watts.. That's the best advice I could give you.

The Bloodstones and the "Bloods" seem to be the point of confusion.

OG Lil Caesar, Ricochet, Murderer , Dirty Red , Shout Out To The Families 💪🏾🩸

I'm brim !!!! Official 64th street brim ! People don't know the depths of this set ! And what it consists of ,only real Bloods know what this life about! Sowoo! Woo!

I'm a wolf in the game ,so I know a lil something, I came from the trenches but can always learn more, WESSSSSSSSTSIIIIIDE!!!!!
