Hey yall, over 80 percent of you guys are not even subscribed. I looked at my analytics, which I usually never do, but now that I am trying to grow this channel which I created just on a whim years ago, I was shocked to see that 80 percent of my viewers are not subscribed. I never say in the video, "SUBSCRIBE" because I didnt think you had to ask, but I guess all those channels that ask, do it because it works. WOW, I would probably have over 800,000 subs pushing a million subs if all y'all subscribed.

That was really interesting. I'm from the UK and we hear a lot about these areas in hip hop songs growing up, so it's informative to hear the history. Would be nice if the gang violence could come to an end and people unite, in an ideal world.
I feel like it would have been worth it to briefly mention the significance of the Black P Stones (along with T Rodgers) and how they are one of (if not the) only connections between the two gang capitals of the US, which is LA and Chicago.
Hey, just to clarify what you are saying, Vincent Owens and Tam were two different people. Also the house that you were standing in front of is where Vincent Owens lived not Puddin. The piru boys started long before when you are saying. I grew up on Piru street and although I was a little younger than the founding members I still remember it all. These are some significant names that will help with your research. Harston Barnes, Dewight Stewert, Sugarman, Peanut, Iil' Mike. Puddin and Vincent Owens didn't come until later. The Piru Boys had already been formed.
@Red Eyez that was sunny and rebbel and few others that stayed on 57th street but weren't apart of the original 57BSV. They would in their mid 50s right now and none of them lasted long from the neighborhood.
for all you out of town people claiming piru, Pirus are bloods but not all bloods are pirus come to cali and get your history and you will know the truth
I just wanted to comment on #2. You stood in front of my grandmother's house and said it was the home of Sylvester. It wasn't, just Vincent Owens. Also, my dad, Vincent Owens will be featured on the news on this Wednesday, Fox11 right after Empire. If you message me, I'd love to connect you with my dad. He's looking to do a book very soon.
Here is another great example of labeling. Did you know that the owners of the Slauson Swap Meet, removed that name long ago and replaced it with "Slauson Super Mall"? They actually despise being called a Swap Meet because they want to compete with the main retailers that are in the mall. But what does the community still call it? The Swap Meet! They removed all references to Swap Meet like 20 years ago, but the name endures.
Are or where there any skinhead gangs in Los Angeles Alex or where the black and latino gangs too much for them. In chicago there were Italian and Irish gangs.
u might not know that labelling goes all the way back to the 1920's when o.g. cuckhold vandalized the barn of his neighbors horse using ink and a feather quill. After the the graffiti occurred, triple O.G. breastmilk loaded his musket and headed west to confront cujckhold at the ranch. To this day, the community believes the horses name is ''Faggot.'' This labelling shit has gotta stop cuh
Pedro Espinoza Isn't a racist, he's got black friends from 18. The media lied calling him a racist, Pedro killed a blood, shawns dad could say what he wants but everyone knows damn well Shawn was a blood.
The media wasn't promoting it because they said Pedro Espinoza was racist, they were trying to use it as a tool against illegal immigrants. I saw Jamel Shaw's Myspace back in the day, he was definitely throwing up gang signs on a few pics. My cousin went to LA high and played football there, he was a little older graduated couple of years before the shooting. He told me that Jamel was never a gang member but he didn't understand false claiming is dangerous and Pedro thought he was a member. There were a few black 18st members at LA high at that time too.
@lost Angels you speak BIG FACTS! My neighbor also went to LA High and knew pedro and shawn. And what she mentioned was that shawn had been a participant in a shooting on a latino family in the previous weeks. Not saying he was the shooter, but he was there. The house was a family house where an 18st member lived, but who got shot at was the mother and daughter of the household. Pedro heard about it and knew who was blasted at and that shawn had been there. If my neighbor has her facts fucked up, please let me know. She also mentioned that pedro wasn't racist.
I stayed for a brief period in the 90s over there by Bronson and Venice. It was r20s over there. BPS was a bit further down towards Western and the freeway.
2:32-5:00 Harvard Park (Los Angeles, CA). 5:01-7:42 West Adams (Los Angeles, CA), officially the neighborhood to the north of the Santa Monica Freeway is Mid-City. 10:21-12:36 Historic South-Central (Los Angeles, CA).
the reason why its not in the top 10 is because 1) there was a complete name change, 2) there was a brief break in gang activity, 3) it was a separate and new gang that formed, 4) it didn't go from Blood Alley ---> R20s Blood, there are about two other gang names in between.
1. They changed their name compared with the others that are on the list. 2 There was a break and part of it was because of the Black Panther Party in Los Angeles. But O.G. Madd Ronald and other original members( mostly deceased) told about The West Side Twenties or the younger members of Blood Alley came from that and changed the Neighborhood, than Neighborhood Blood and to Neighborhood Rollin Twenties Blood. P.S. Didn't The Green Jackets changed their name to Bounty hunter?
The Green Jackets may have changed their name but then it could have been a younger generation starting something new. You can argue that the original Westside Crips changed their named to Eight Tray Gangster, but we would always identify those two as separate identities, but if we didn't, that would make the ETGs one of the oldest, but we didn't do it that way.
between 1970 - 1975 what was the name of the gang there? Answer that, because thats not easy. There was no Blood Alley, There was no Rollin 20s and there was no NHB during those years. What say you?
There was a gang called Blood Alley. Members of Rollin Twenties Blood talk about them and I checked it out on the internet a few hours ago. Madd Ronald mentioned them in the past.
Mr. Alonso I appreciate you reaching out and interviewing these brothers I can see by talking it out and sharing there life place thought on there minds hopefully going forward into the future it all will turn around as a positive movement
I'm a white 20 year old from VA with family in Socal, was talking to my Grandma today and was surprised to figure out our family LIVED in COMPTON back in the 1950s......Supposedly it was completely different back then and it was an all white town.
Yo Alex when u do these SG vids, I would love for u to throw in some old gansta photos like u did with this one. That old-school look with the raggs caps and locs, looks so fuckin cool !
"Learn your history and you'll probably never refer to it as South Central again." That is an interesting statement. Could you elaborate? Are you referring to the Augernaut (sp?) train?
What's up? Street Gang, I really enjoy your videos on sharing the history of street gangs around Los Angeles. I grew up and lived in Compton most of my childhood. I was never been part of a gang and never had the desired to be part of one either. However, growing up in Compton, I was constantly exposed to these gangs. I never understood why Compton was so riddle with gangs? Your videos have answered some of my curiosity. I always wonder why Compton became the place it became throughout the years compared to other cities in Los Angeles. I always wanted Compton to be a better place to live in. After all It's my home town. Thanks for sharing these videos.
After watching the 4 videos, its clear.. Crips won by numbers..but the Bloods got more hardcore, oldest and more interesting history... this is very informative, thank you for sharing
WS Piru bigger than that. Rosecrans goin north to el segundo / tajauta westward til Avalon. Everything in front of the square displayed on the map is also their turf and beyond that brickyard
My brother lives by athens park, i haven't went there for a lot of years but it was a pretty peaceful place even back then, i mean some APBs would hang in the parking lots of the park but they would be there just relaxing i never saw anything go down as far as gang violence. I did see the B13 and SXL go at it once back in the 90s in the park though. keep the videos coming.
I love your videos and I looked forward to seeing the top ten blood neighborhoods..I really believed that the Inglewood families would be in the top ten and also Fruit Town Pirus.... Thanks for showing us the real history!!
+Alex A. Alonso es 20s I grew up around stones Brims and bloods my whole life I never knew es 20 I knew LA had a outlaw gang pre red and blue but I thought the whole 20 took red when nhb got on but u learn something new everyday
Because he knows the media is trying to make it racial and divide. Mexican dude is from 18st, one of the only mixed racial gangs even tho its mostly hispanic. I wasn't racially motivated, just gang motivated.
hustle? We am merely taking ideas from the actual viewers and trying to monetize some products to make our job just a little easier. You the type of person that expects everything for free, you feel entitled & the moment someone attempts to earn something for themselves by hard work, you become a hater and get jealous. GTFOH with your shallow thinking.
T-Rodger's was originally from Chicago from a gang called the Elrukn's or Black Stone Rangers and he didn't mention when he spoke about the Denver Lanes and The Hoover's being enemies the South Los rival gang or enemy is the Hoover's and they been feuding for year's like their beef between the 107 Hoover Crips
My Aunt Barbara Jean used to live In 62 Brim Hood & Hoover Cripps Came Over there trying to Recruit & got that Work! After that they went up Gage & tried to Recruit Cat’s from The Avenue’s & 60 And got some more Working! So they just went up Hoover Street & was Successful lol
Did anyone else notice how he didn’t like that they made a plaque for that kid who died because they kind of ostracize that Mexican kid for killing him
+Alex A. Alonso, You grew up in the 20's. I remember u being around Rocky, Tray K and some other 27st's. Can i ask where did u get your information on the 20's at.........i see some discrepancies. I know o/g Hoover Families, Harlems and BPS that would say the 20's been anti crips. And been Bloods since the early to mid 70's..........
+streetgangs it was good but you should've included the deep history of BPS and how it is the only mob to come from Chicago to LA in the 60's. They are our brothers they even come out here and vice versa
Not what I was told. He was FROM Jungle Stone/Bity Stone but he didn’t bang it. I remember this, I was living in the trays back then and my gf at the time bff was from Jungles. But he wasn’t killed on some mistaken Identity shit, they did it on some race war shit. This was back when pretty much all black and Mexican gangs on the Westside were NOT getting along at all. This was when every Cinco De Mayo/MLK day was ‘ riot day ‘. Back during that time period, Hispanic gangs were literally shooting at skin color and if the victim happened to bang than that was the bonus. I can’t speak to the relationships b/w black and brown elsewhere, but on the Westside, that’s what was going on.
if you're under 30 and not from LA and you were not there for any of the peace meetings in the parks during the riots please don't try to twist the history, Brother Alonso is doing a great job at showing the world where we came from .Just watch and learn and if you're really from the land you already know,Peace
You over in my neighborhood. I stay on 7th Ave and 23rd Street, near the I-10 freeway. I used to eat at Johnnie's Pastrami back in the day. I pass by Jamiel Shaw's memorial here and there.
+KINGSLVND the cover of Overly Dedicated has a girl on it and she's throwing something up and that's why I thought he was from Westside Piru. After doing some research it looks to be that he just grew up in their territory but never joined the gang. Kendrick a real one for that 💯
i was waiting to hear him touch on that as well as Bps being under L.A brims in the beginning.Also clear up the Blood Alliance meeting that supposedly happened in Compton to battle all Crips.
Me too. I was waiting for his take on how the Black P Stone came to LA from Chicago, and also on the story of the word "brim", something about hats I think.
+steven jackson lies. He brought it from Chicago. The same principles they are just bloods. We are Black P Stone Nation for a reason. I don't know why y'all hate threat shit so much. We got Sur 13 in Chicago who cares but you have to speak on what you know
***** It's not a Chicago gang but it does have a Chicago name.Bps in L.A is under the Blood alliance not the people nation.Niggas in Chicago don't even like T rodgers or L.A cats like that if you peep game.Out here the Chi cats are respectful but back in Chicago they stay talking shit about Cali gangs.
Los Angeles Brims & Inglewood Chain gang came before Bps & Wsp.Matter of fact they were the first two Anti gangs warring with the Crips.But great video nonetheless.
The Blood Stone Villians is 1 of the oldest Blood gangs starting in 1969. Of the first word is Blood and all other Blood gangs later on incorporated Blood at the end. And to my knowledge the oldest Blood is the Hoover Family. I believe Inglewood family should have made the list being that they were the Chain Gang originally etc...
I dont think so, the Blood Stone Villians are named after an R&B funk group that became nationally famous in 1973, so there is no way they were out in 1969
I predicted two right, to be in the top 5 from the part 1 video, which is Athens Park and 6Deuce/Harvard Park Brims. Bloundhound is well known from the Outlaw 20's.
is there a way we can introduce positive economic jobs to turn the direction around for so many of these brothers they all have something in common love for there hood
And For The Record, It's a known fact that Brims was The First original Blood Gang. Even Tookie Recognized Them and The Inglewood Family Gang (who you didn't mention) As two of the first. followed by Hunnas and so on and so forth. and Stones gave not been in LA since 69. T.Rodgers was a kid still in Chicago back then, He brought it west and began to function as a Blood down the line.
