I went to Woodworth Elementary school and lived on Lawrence St in the early 90’s, the CMGs were very protective of their set, they shot dice in front of my building, the walls were covered in 104st CMGB graffiti but when my mom would come home from work, they would make room for her to walk pass them. Lil Hawksta used to rap to me and the other kids in the neighborhood, the CMGs would tell us it’s time to go inside if they spotted a potential enemy rolling through the set. Not to glorify banging but these dudes seemed like good hearted young brothers if you had to exist in their hood, back then. Another thing, they never encouraged the youth to get put on, in fact they told us don’t be like them.
@@DanielAlvarado104 aha crazy, I remember setting that lot on fire when I was a kid, back when there used to be a car wash behind my building on Century.
I like this comment a lot and its true I have seen similar comments about them been respectfull to the young ones and there mothers and the elderly folks, its such a shame really because these guys you was with did have heart but with poverty and a lot of other stuff a lot of bad stuff would not of happened like young life's been lost, keep safe man stay blessed, godbless you bruvv,
My boy Baby Goon was from the Mafias in the mid-90s throughout the early 2010s. Fools shooting 5 year old kids and beating pregnant women don't represent the entirety of this gangsta ass neighborhood.
I used to stay on 104 and Yukon. Growing up in the late 90s early 2000s when you would find dead bodies by the Hollywood Park track. As a young Chicano coming up in the hood, it was hard growing up around dumb racial tensions between our peeps and everyone had to take sides. So I rolled with the rockers. The Latinos gangs at some point wanted to jump us into the set but the Bloods put out the word that no one wanting to get involved had the right to stay out of the life. It made a difference for a bunch of kids that didn’t want to be about that life, including me. I’m 32 years old now.
if you where out in the streets maybe yeah they wanted to jump you in, but I never had that problem nor friends the only problem that I agree with you was the racial tensions for sure, latin gangs banging on you , or black gangs always starting racial conflict.
Yeah we had to move because of that CMB tryed to put all the kids on my dad told us we moving from Wrigley drive south central to East Side Long Beach where I was original born at LBC I'm 37 that was in 95 Pac all eyes on me , Fugees , Big was on the radio also Nas ODB And mirah WuTang played on the car radio memories
I used to live on Dixon from the mid 90's to the early 00's and never had an issue with the CMG's matter of fact when they found out I was good in school and could possibly head to college they made sure my ass wasn't out getting in trouble. They were all respectful of my mom and so I never had to worry about them. Like another poster said if they knew trouble from a rival gang was a possibility they would tell us to go in the house. They never forced anybody to be from CMG. To me the biggest assholes were IPD and Councilman Hardeman.
My grandfather moved there in mid 80’s and we would be outside with no problems. I’ve never even been sweated over there and I’m almost 50! I did have a name to drop thought!!❤
Crazy u posted this cuz I've been watching the CMG clip from the doc Crab 187 Slob 187 over the last week or so. You can tell they set was with all the business and violent af. Dudes who rapped from this hood had hella talent tho, the Damu Ridaz had jams.
The CMG’s has a super thriving hood at least until the mid 2000’s. My ex best friend lived in the Bottoms and I HATED having to drive in there to pick her up on double dates etc. They went to Inglewood High and I went to and was raised near Washington High School..if you from LA you know how dangerous it was for me to be in the bottoms. Thank God I never had no serious issues (fasho a few scares😳) picking and dropping her off.
@@jaym.57 I am not from LA and don't want to give any impression that I fully understand the lifestyle and the danger. I'm from Houston and from a bad fucked up area filled with murder but due to drugs and robbing so I know nothing about living in a place where that happens plus there is a never ending feud and gang beef that people can get caught in the middle of. My heart's goes out to anyone who had to deal with what y'all deal with. The ghetto is the ghetto but the gang shit just amplifies and makes things worse imo. I understand the cycle of revenge but it is truly that a "cycle"
It doesn't matter who you are, where you come from. The ability to triumph begins with you. Always. I’m praying that all Crips & Bloods work on abolishing black on black crime so that there kids children never have to live savage lives like their fathers. We have to stop the black on black hatred.. Everybody’s entertainment is black peoples reality ( Praying For My People) shit and we have the nerve to complain about SA’s, Police and The KKK but we do our own people like this
@@WLA-General My favorite Bangin On Wax rappers: Bloods: Lil Hawk, B Brazy, Green Eyez, Peanut ll, Nini X, Spyder, Big Wy, OG Dogg and Batman. Crips: AWOL, Big Freeze, Six Pacc, Sin Loc, Twin Loc, Troll Loc, C-Note, Broncoe, BG Scarface and G Bone.
CMG pound for pound hands down is one of the top 5 hardest Blood sets ever they was putting in work heavy back in the days they was not to be fucked with best believe they was bringing heat to your doorsteps if you was looking for beef there is a reason why they hood got gentrified because they was too active!
Lol bro you must not be from LA at all if you believe that ,inglewood did not get gentrified because of cmgb if anything it would be because of IFGB or maybe even cpf but cmgb has not been making noise for years and I'm sure they will be the 1st blood set to be defunk in the years to come ,the only thing that's been keeping them floating is their alliance with DLGB
Shot out too Bumpy Bars and Big Wy...LIL HAWK was my favorite rapper in 1995. ...the Crips loved lil hawk we use to just change his lyrics...M.I.P. Baby Hawk and Basper and Spider
@@SleptOnHomage Nope, it was over the beef with Neighborhood Piru. Blood on blood beef. Just like Lil Laniak II (RIP) from DLB was killed by a cat from Campanella Park Piru..
This is a side of gang life that people don’t really hear about & it shows just how evil & sick some of those dudes can be…..loyalty,friendship,trust,brotherhood,love,etc…..it’s all bullshit when it comes to a gang
Well said,all these people in gangs are fighting for something that has never been there’s in the 1st place.If you really think you hard fight for your family by progressing in life to get them to a better place n hopefully get closer yo happiness not by fighting over something that only exists in your imagination
@@cali2468 it’s not something to be proud about but this is history this generation of men some who didn’t get to make it pass 95 are still talked about to this day and Crenshaw mafia will forever be known “ I ain’t from Africa im from Crenshaw mafia foo” slavery isn’t something to be talked about but it’s still praised by some and talk about in history books right ?
@@amaric3028 From someone born and raised in Los Angeles, CA I look at it in a TOTALLY different light. It's a piece of history I would rather forget. Now, you being an outta towner may be impressed. But as an LA native it doesn't "excite" me like it does you. 🙄👎🏿
I think we all have come to a honest agreement that LA gangs from the 1970's, 1980's and 1990's looked the coolest posing in pictures....I don't know anything about LA gangs but it seems you guys were a little bit more serious during the early 2000's,1990's, 80's and 70's.
I use to look up to these kinds of people when I was young. They were the epitome of masculinity and brotherhood to me. But I learned that it wasnt. Disappointed, I tried to get my life to a good point.
S/o B Brazy (BIP) & Lil Hawk. CMG & DLGB are responsible for the best gang song ever. Mafia Lanez (WOOP WOOP!!) 109 104 🤟🏿 Respect to all YGz BGz Locs and Groovas. STAY ALIVE AND STAY FREE
@@comptonking310 There's a lot of contradictory shit in the case that had him locked up. Many people closed to Bobby still think he was framed by the pigs.
When I was middle school and high school they were on the downtrend, alot of niggas were saying they were defunct, but they've been on the comeup for the last 10 years
Drug distribution in the '80s probably or also the fact that dumb Ninjaz everywhere on the west coast and Midwest in the '90s started copying the negative shit they seen in LA hood movies..the fact they mentioned this set in Boyz in the hood and again in straight out of Compton probably inspired the little dumb Ninjaz in your state to start their own gang using their name ..ninjas are that stupid..
@@dayday7283 yea no shit that's the basic assumption but it's probably a pretty interesting story how CMG came out here and got so big it's literally like 80% of bloods in this state are from mafias
@@dayday7283 they got enemies homie Colorado got alot of gangs actually not like L.A but shit cracks here too. And They were WAY outnumbered by Crips in the beginning ESPECIALLY in Denver where they started out here..they definitely had to fight to expand like they did js
My husband was from Crenshaw Mafia he is far removed but those are his roots and whenever we go back home to visit L.A. he stops to see some of his people. I grew up in an all-Crip (Marvin Gangsta Crips) neighborhood I have no idea how I ended marrying an ex-blood😂
I used to go to Morningside High School and I lived on 104th and 1st Avenue I used to pass bottles apartment buildings while walking home never had a problem and also my family on the liquor store on Crenshaw and Imperial once again never had a problem maybe I was just fortunate my family and I but sometimes that's how things turn out rest in peace for the brothers who did encounter problems
Coming from South Central / Watts, Niggas always looked at Inglewood as quiet and soft … but not the BOTTOMS !!!! Niggas knew there was a side of Inglewood that was just as active as any area out there, And CMG was for sure the most active Damu set in Inglewood despite everybody always talking about IFG 👌
How you say they were the most active in Inglewood when the OG crips don't be mentioning them compared to IF. Obviously IF were the most active if OGs from 60s, 83s, 90s, and Raymonds are talking about them being an issue continously
Dem foos was active as shit before they reconstructed they hood...they shut down Woo worth and them foos scattered...but the bottoms was hella turnt I used to work at Home Depot across the street and that’s when it start calming down they lil homies used to be at 7/11 pressin shit the IF always been active but they hood is bigger and they a lil more player then the mafias not as militant as the mafias from my years of living in Inglewood...but all dese niggas need to see the world and Knox that shit off...I moved to Texas for my family and it was the smartest thing for me to do was leave LA...it’s only 9 percent black people in California and we target each other
I remember the bottoms.CMG was thick over there back in the 80s and 90s.A lot of streets were dead ends so if you went in there and wasn't from over there.You could get caught up.I once went to see a girl in there and never went back.
I know your pain lol. My ex gf, best friend lived in the bottoms when we were in High School (1997-2001). CMG’s were always out back then. Didn’t matter what time of day..in there one morning around 7am and almost didn’t make it out that morning
@@kevinm9031 patrolling. I lived in Inglewood NHP hood and they did the same thing. IFG, APG and CMG watch the south end and QSB, CPF and NHP what’s the north
@@jamespinney661 what was the bottoms like? The warring was probably at its wildest in the late 80s into the 90s..how often would cars come through to shoot at CMGs?
@@kevinm9031 well I was in elementary when I first moved there went to woodworth just across the street saw my first dead person around 8 or 9 when I got there never seen that before wish someone would have told my mother what to expect I'm sure she wouldn't have moved there, but she didn't know! it was terrible I'd need time to explain all that I seen but it was terrible and crack just hit to made things even worst. The place changed me for sure especially when I got to the 7th grade, but having an older saved my life that the church and my mom's. I still have dreams about that place wonder bout how many of my friends made it out use to be fun playing football on the street or at the elementary that's where we all used to meet up safer than running the streets.
This is where Trey momma lived in Boyz in the Hood. “I ain’t from Africa I’m from Crenshaw Mafia Gangsta Bloods”😂 N his pops lived in the 60’s not far from the CMG’s
It’s pretty far walkin but driving not really both of their turf is on Crenshaw 60’s go from slauson to Florence Cmg’s start from century and Crenshaw I believe
I like how you start smoking that joint in the end of the vid after talking about the destruction and trauma that the CMG’s caused in there own community.
Everyone On that block in the dead end of my block are all respectful. I'm glad I love right here. They won't mess with you, just don't fuck with them and mind yo business 😂
I'm pretty sure I saw a good friend of mine on here, of which I won't disclose. I'm a metalhead so I mean it's funny how I had so many different friends. Then again I was always that kid that was mature and held true to my bonds. He saw I was real.
I know two solid cats from here Icy Mike and a cat name Bandit both these cats are solid Icy Mike would smooth be around the Crips in that county jail like no big thang and keep it G 💯 and made it known where he was from
