My Ghosts welcome to Demons Row TV the holy grail of MC culture

im Sose the Ghost aka Chopper Sosa im your host for the evening
Happy New Year to all my Ghosts
im a full year in this game
shout to everybody that been supporting shout to all the new subscribers
new year new things and ima get deep into the type of lifestyle ive lived
im not gonna hold no punches this year we gonna take to another level
and im gonna tell you about my true origins right now
but the first thing i want you to do is to hit me with that #Ghostin
and that lets me know your alive and well sittin on 2s doing what you do
or your just str8 up a part of the Demons Row community one of my Ghosts
so i got the idea to talk about this cuz i got a comment in the last video i did
and he said hes just a gangsta on a bike
hes not a real MC so i wanted to explain where i come from and my origins so you better understand
for the new year why not start from ground zero and explain who i really am
so were gonna talk transitioning from a crip to a 1%er how did i end up on that path
it started with my cuzin its a tale of 2 cuzins for me
1 of my cuzins 1%er one of my cuzins Crip
my cuzin that was crip im gonna try to do this without naming names
my cuzin who was crip was locked up in green correctional i was living in the bronx at the time
and upnorth he turned crip
so when he came home our neighborhood was predominantly blood
so he started to get into shit in the street with these dudes
so naturally i took up for my cuzin and i was labeled they was already calling me a crip before i was even a crip
so i decided you know what this is my family imma jump in
im gonna do what i gotta do to get in this circle
moving around in circles like that
you bump into other people
the set we was claiming was grape street alot of people know grape street they wear the purple flags
eastside 103 grape street watts baby loc crip thats what we was bangin
we was at a strip club one day and i had bumped into one of the homies from the west coast
im thinking hes purple city bird gang or something like that
so i kinda flexed on him in the strip club and he liked my style
and he put me on to game he was from cali he put me on to game game
my cuzin had got on but it was from somebody who was not official like that that he heard from somebody else
they put him on one of those fake type deals you know he wasnt authentic so i bumped into one of the authentic OGs from Grape and he put me on
and basically thats what i was for the majority of my life
my cuzin sonny was always tryin to put me on to a different kind of life
cuz he was always like that shit aint getting you nowhere and you know it did nothing but bring me jail and problems
losing homies and it was alot of dumb shit i went threw
being young being involved with it but you know i was reppin for my family
and it was so crazy because when i was upnorth im puerto rican
alot of puerto ricans was scared to hang out with me because they didnt want the bloods to think
if we cool with him hes crip hes gonna put us on so you know it was a crazy life being a spanish crip
from the east coast not from the west coast but got put on by west coast big homies
when you in the gang life
its so much shit that happens and i winded up having situations where loyalty was in question
i had my own homies had to stare down at the barrel from people that were supposedly like brothers to me
i started to distance myself from everybody i never officially dropped
cuz once your down your always down
so i never officially dropped but i fell back on the circles of people i was roccin with
and i had chapters under me and everything so when i came into the MC world my mentality was completely different
so fast forward my cousin sonny he puts me on to the MC world
he puts me on to even jumping on a bike hes the one who got me to jump on a bike
and just put me on to the life
so jumpin into the 1% world
it was a lot more structure
alot more brotherhood and i feel like
for my personality it fits me better
i dealt with alot of struggles cuz i took the stink from the gang world and brought it into this
at times i need my brothers to bring me down cuz im always ready to resort to a gang mentality
but i dont do it on purpose its just what ive seen and what i been threw
its just the way i think
i think alot differently as yall know on this show
the way i talk the things i talk about
the way i move im not your average MC
and ive really lived both lives so i could tell you the difference that the difference between a gang and a MC
its completely different the stakes in a MC
are way different from being in a gang
in a gang it just we have a saying in new york in a new york minute
it just gets crazy quick
in MC culture its more respect based when it comes to gangs
theres no respect like the younger homies all they understand is if something happens put in work
retaliate or do whatever the dumbest shit is so you look the coolest
thats the type of time they on
in MC culture its more about respect
its just a whole different type of atmosphere
and it fits someone like me and i realized all these years
being in gangs being a crip all my life
what i was looking for was brotherhood
like i was siding with my family you know what i mean
at the end of the day when you join a club make sure thats your family like that you have that family atmosphere
people have asked me what was it like transitioning from a gang into the MC culture
and i think its dope
i think its the same thing that you was looking for in the gang life but without all the high stakes
without all the danger
its a different life and its more and you have more brothers you could rely on
when some shit breaks down when your bike breaks down
whatever happens you could call somebody theyll come its just different in gang culture
in gang culture its more war based
there more willing to be there for you if something beefwise happens
to be an actual brother and be there for you
if your car broke down and stuff like that
like thats not really what the locs is doin
shout to all my locs too
you know what i mean it depends on your mindstate
what type of shit you on if you on that you know what i wanna flip out thats the type of time im on then crip is the avenue for you
but if you gettin older and you like to ride and you like the brotherhood
and you like it more respectful and not crazy shit goin on
thats more Mc culture
thats not to say if something happens
your not fully protected by your brothers because in MC culture
your brothers are gonna make sure you get out of spots safe
so if you have any questions
on gang culture
on mc culture you know transitioning
or things that are similar or
if your actually in a cuz i know alot of mcs
that are
still affiliated there still like blood
or still crip and there in a club so tell me how yall feel about that
