Yeah man it's a boy Bay Loc man, Compton Nutty Blocc representative, 166th Street, 165 Street man,
we right here in Compton though, in the Grandees, y'all hear about this,
we in them Grandee apartments in Compton, California right now, streetgangs.com.
Intro: music plays
Most, a majority of all Crip gangs, hung out here coming up, all the Compton Crip, Crips from West and
east, used to come here, meet up, and have their meetings, their gang meeting
and do things, you now what I'm saying, even before it was Nutty Blocc.
Yeah, we really hang around everywhere in this joint, you feel me?
We have all access to every little spot in this joint, anything we want to
do, we can do, that's up to us, you know what I'm saying? It's the back, there are back sides to this stuff.
They painted over a lot of this stuff, but you know these names been, you feel me?
been on this wall, oh his name right there,
Hacc 3, the homie, Mike Dogg, free Mike Dogg, free
C-Nut, C-Loc out man here thuggin with us man.
The homie Infant Good, he out here thuggin, that's my boy Bomber, here go my name right here man,
that's our boy, he changed his life, ya dig what I'm saying? Like
that's one of my homeboys, he did some time, he got incarcerated, you dig what I'm saying?
Following one of my homeboy's funeral, he had got incarcerated, did a couple of
years in prison but while he was incarcerated,
he got out, he could attest to it, this is his thi
little cousin right here standing next to us, he basically said that him being in their (prison)
and he realizing,
you going to jail for beefing with certain gangs, and then once you get in there (prison)
you cool with these same people that you once had these problems with.
You out here
try to take them out, then when you go in there you got to be with them, then when you
come back out, you supposed to be going back at them again,
and that is like a a cycle that don't make sense. Why do something out here, then go in there
and be cool, them come back out and jump back in? He was like, you
know what? I rather just give my life to God, you dig what I'm saying? And try to do something better for
myself.
I already tried the gang-banging, I already went to the highest level, I went to prison, the only thing
higher than that
in gang-bangin terms is death, so I'd rather die and know where I am going,
to heaven, so I could respect that too. Because I believe in God, heavily.
Memories up in here, this the spot, we probably come here and smoke weed, just to at the look at this stuff.
Flip some bitches, bitches get f**ked, right in this
crimey part, wether you believe it or not, this the Grandees, a bitch with get
hit right here, homie, straight-up.
real fast, two or three of them, with two or three homies in the cut,
getting silly though cuzz, we call that getting silly.
That's where this is starting from, one six five street and one, six, six street,
as well these Grandees that we are standing in but those streets is outside of here,
thats not a street that's inside the Grandees
The hood is big as fu$*, this is just one section that we call this the Yankee Stadium for
niggas that didn't know, this is where the Yankes come, we don't allow no Mets in here. here.
This used to be the old dugout right here man. This used to be all covered up,
niggas used to come up in this mutha-fucka when it was all covered up like this,
a nigga would come up in this mutha-fucka, and this is where you get disciplined at.
If you did something wrong in the hood -niggas got knocked out on the set right here.
Yeah, in the dugout if you came back here, it was an issue, niggas will be lined up right here, we
would go up in that mutha-fuckin circle right there and you would get your issue off,
it might be a one-on-one or it might be a ten-on-one depending on what you did around this mutha-fucka.
Anybody can get it, nobody was exempt. That’s Longfellow Elementary [school]
-How many of y’all went when y’all was kids? -Half of the hood went there -I went to Caldwell Elementary
-Its two elementaries, right. This one is Longfellow,
all the people that stay in the hood went to Longfellow, and all the one that stayed on
Central [Ave] or on the other side
went to Caldwell, but it was all homies and then we all met up
at Walton Middle School.
-When you guys are going to elementary school the whole gang
aspect of life isn't as epidemic, right? It is not as entrenched
when you going on in the you know fourth and fifth grade or does it start that young?
-it do.
You’ve got knowledge of it.
Like say me 5th grade, my best friend stayed up in here
Around that time I wasn’t coming up in this mother fucker
I was born and raised on the five. I was in the hood, in the blocks of the hood
I was like, "the Grandees? hell no I aint going to the Grandies"You crazy mother fucker but my everyday
niggas stay here so I walk them to the brick right here and he would jump it and then I will go home,
then we would check in, come in here and do destructive shit, blew up mail boxes
all kind of weird shit.
Little bad kids stuff.
Kids hitting all that shit up.
All that, they hearing what nigga don’t get along and writing shit.
For the most part, the little bullshit, yea you know. The younger mother fuckers you know.
Alex: Yea I remember someone told me how could crips write in red graffiti
and I try to tell them that it really not that important, its whatever can you got access to at the time.
-And then, and then you have to understand its really out of disrespect
Like fuck yall, like nigga in red, ya feel me?
We aint out here to glorify no type of gang bangin, to tell you the truth, we showing you shit like
It aint like we hit this up before you came here.
This shit was here months and all that type of shit
Years. And some of that shit been up here a year, yea this is real shit man some of this say
rest in peace to niggas man. D Dog he died, that was what? 2003
That been up there, this is for real
a lot of people lost their lives man
To this shit. Man they losing their lives through death and losing their lives through jail man,
And if you young and watching this interview and your not gang bangin, do not gang bang. It’s a waste of your
time. It’s a waste of of your life, your going to get into something that your not really prepared for.
You might think you mentally prepared. But once you
really get into it you never really prepared for something you never been in to
Every man is his own man you dig what I am saying?
And I can’t stop you I can be out the way and I can be like, I'm at
the house chilling man you dig what I am saying and there still gonna be another young mother fucker
that’s like, yo, this what I want to represent it. And that’s what they want to represent in their heart of hearts,
they gotta take that decision, whether they get smoked
or get put in jail for life. Still nigga that’s their own consequence,
You dig what I am saying? Cant stop a consequence, can't stop nothing God got planned for you.
-That’s what I was gonna say, if anybody embed this shit in my little nigga head,
ain't no way that he gonna be physically prepared for this shit, because he a little nigga.
The only way to really know its hot,
is to touch it and to get burned yourself. I can tell them
all day don’t touch the iron its hot. He is gonna touch it.
The only way he is gonna learn is by touching it and say I'm off that shit.
Now some niggas it take them to get shot,
naw I'm cool, I'm gonna go teach the Word, or whatever,
or take a long time in jail or teach some
of his best niggas that this a shit ain't for him.
But its gonna take something dramatic to happen,
for him to realize, this ain't this ain't for me my nigga.
Or like me, like 2005 we lost niggas. That’s the most
deaths we took in one year. -Alex: How many did you loose? - Like five homies.
We lost Sin, we lost Cee Knot, we lost Mark, we lost
Litlle No Good, we lost Cee Loc.That’s 5 homies.
Alex: How old are you? - 21
-And how long you been from Nutty block? -A couple years.
-And you’ve heard the consequences and the danger of
this this lifestyle right? Yeah, He just named off five
dead homies. And what makes you still want to be a part of something like this?
-I just want to. There is no other reason.
You gotta want to. - See just like that. A nigga just want to.
Aint got no… you know. I couldn't even explain that to you, Its just like what he said you just gotta want to.
-Alex: A lot of people will look at what he said and say, man that’s kinda sad, that's
a choice.... - that a nigga made right. He could be playing sports, he could be going
to school at 21. It’s a choice though. -There it is right there, key word, choice.
Everyone got choices but then again like when you come
You see it like you don't really got a lot of choices around here though.
D Dog rest in peace man, that was a big homie
that instill
A lot a, really a lot of niggas could says this, he was one of them homies that
would not tell you to do this shit though. You dig what I am saying, he was probably one of the main reasons
yeah I mean we were actually banging because a lot of the little homies in my generation
looked up to him because he was rapping, and his name was Nutty Nutso. He was part of a popular
rap group called the Young Hogs
at that time, they were signed to Mac 10 I think Hoo Bangin records at
that time. He was a really embracer older homie at that time.
He was probably about what 24 or something when he died
when you look back at it like damn I am older than he was
before he passed, but he was a homie
we got nothing but love and respect for him. -How did he die? -He got killed
He got shot. A lot of mother fuckers be getting their shit mixed up
Or thinking They know how somebody out here really living, oh they over here doing this or they doing that
And you get it hear it from the horse's mouth on actually what’s really going on,
in these particular sections at these particular times. So you are giving a voice to the people,
that are never going to get heard.
Like if we just put this shit on camera ourselves it might not get no
70,000 hits, or no 10,000 hits. But if we get it we might only be 500 people watch it.
It's not gonna get to the masses so this is dope that yall even giving people this shot
to get heard like that and we respect that man and then you're not asking
bullshit ass questions like trying to glorify like, oh when was the last time you
pop somebody, you are asking some real questions that's
about life and that’s what a nigga really
want to do an interview about. A nigga want to talk about something that is positive or something
that is really heartfelt that people feel where we are coming from,
So yea shout out to yall for that.
-I'm glad you actually recognize that. Yes. I don’t come here asking how much dope have you
sold, or how many people you have shot. -you'll never know.
But, aren’t those the typical questions that a media person would asked?
-Yeah, on the real a typical mother fucker might going to ask,Oh man, so usually on an average day,
what would be the type of crime you guys might do? Or where
I just noticed somebody walked out that house, is that a trap house or something like that?
Is that a gun on his head or something? Stupid ass question like that,
where a nigga is going to be like, Damn near like immediately cut this interview off,
because we are about to fuck these people up.
Football, basketball that’s everybody’s dream to make it out of the hood that way. Get paid to do what you love.
Dudes got records, strikes and shit now, so niggas like
Fuck it so niggas are like, what else am I good at, always been good at this rap shit
But a nigga had sports on my mind. But now thus YN shit got a nigga,
fuck it, I better put the hood on,
Im about to bubble, I am gonna use talent in rapping. That’s something they can’t take from me.
They got football, they got basketball
Rap they can’t take from me. You gonna see us in that mutha fucka
Mafia Mega Boys,
-We rapping about real life, we ain't rappin nobody else’s life
Man, that’s the difference, we aint rapping nobody else’s life we aint rappin no shit we heard about
We rapping some shit that we have seen, and some shit we want to talk about
It ain't just glorifying, we aint just talking about shoot’em up bang bang. We talking about how shit ain't
never gonna be the same, how shit done changed in this mother fucker
you might want to get about this mother fucker while you got a chance to get you some
money , get you some paper and do something better

Everybody don’t got that.
