kind of where the older homies hang out you know I mean where everybody chill be peaceful they got a lot of community [ __ ] going on up there because in the city do a lot of things up there but yeah like I was saying man you stabbed me and all that and and the ambulance came and and and [ __ ] you know and before I left the block the homies was over there you know what I'm saying you can hear it in the ambulance before I even left the block to hear the activities in the background a couple blocks away because that's how close we used to be to the enemies but because that's just a story of you

didn't lived it you feel me yeah so right now we on 48th and Normandy you know I'm saying like I said the hood is huge man the hood is too big for us to walk that's why we're driving around but say I know most Hood Vlog episodes you know saying they gonna walk you through the hood and walk this block and you know all who are too big for that we can't be walking nowhere and you're gonna get your [ __ ] you gonna get something something gonna happen you try to walk too many blocks it is La you know I'm saying it's the capital of random random murders you know saying you will somebody will just pull up and not say nothing but it's mostly gang members man gang members no gang members when they see them man you can see why how [ __ ] walk you know I mean so don't think like you know if you just a regular person that it's just it's not like that you know I'm saying La is way way more peaceful than it used to be in the 80s and 90s right now you know you could tell it's chill but for the people that still living the life like it's active every day you know what I mean civilians you pretty you pretty much good you know say his white people live over here and everything now man you know what I mean I watch that whole transition because you know when I was little you know I'm saying I saw the last few white people that lived in the Hood the last remnants of white flight what they call white flight I mean but now we got gentrification going on and they back you know what I'm saying but I told the homies in the 90s that that was going to happen you know what I mean I saw it I'm saying but over there on my side where we just came from on the dark side because of the Coliseum and all of that because them trying to get a pro team in La like the gentrification been going on over there since since the late 90s you know what I mean they've been trying to get us up out of there because they want that they want that protein money you know what I mean so but yeah it's a lot of peaceful a lot more peaceful than it used to be I mean so like we finna head down here to Lamarck you know I'm saying to the other side of the hood I mean it's a lot of peaceful black [ __ ] that be going on down there you know what I'm saying it's Africa town baby we buying what we can you know saying black people that is I mean they just lost the bid they didn't even lose the bid bro but I don't know if y'all know but this is the Crenshaw Mall up here and it was it was it's a black organization that pulled together the money to try to buy it so it could be black owned and stay a part of the community because you know that [ __ ] around and turn it into like a Target or some [ __ ] you know so they already turned it into a a [ __ ] Walmart not too long ago or people had got the money together man to to buy it they even bid it as I heard a few million more than the asking price and they just flat out refused them bro like you feel me just flat out refute that's just flat I refused in the community the community was trying to buy a Historic Landmark in their community that they frequent and that we got sentimental you know value for and they was just like no we don't want to sell it to y'all type of [ __ ] see that's what I'm saying they tell you that everything is free in America everything ain't free and everything ain't fair you know what I'm saying it's all about you know who you know and and who you are and where you're from I'm saying we're gonna stalker in Crenshaw right now this is the infamous Liquor Bank you know what I mean I know y'all seen it in numerous movies like baby boy and all that I mean this is this is this is that corner yes I grew up on this side too I went to Audubon I had a big fights and rumbles right here in the middle of the street you know I'm saying as a and and also you know I'm saying I've been down here you know saying working and doing positive [ __ ] like this you know they say community man you did everything if you from over here if you've ever been in the Crenshaw Mall you know that it might have been the only mall or the first at least with a substation the LAPD substation in it man they first put it in there I probably was in like eighth grade or something like that maybe seventh grade but yeah you know what I'm saying as soon as you get into it anytime any type of altercation in the mall they was out there on your ass boy real LAPD ain't no security you know what I'm saying but that's because you know it's king and Prince oh man you got the 40s right here you got the 30s right here you got the bps's right there you know I mean and then it's world famous Crenshaw you got the whole rest of the world coming through here including the city you know what I mean so yeah man it used to be a lot of hectic [ __ ] going on right here but it'd still be cracking but this is where you're gonna get this is the Hub of black culture and black owned business in 1921 it was on the other side of the city on Central you know I mean we didn't take it from Central to Crenshaw you know I mean we didn't let far our black footprint footprint all over the city I mean so even though they're trying to push us out the city they can't because the culture of the city is the culture we created I said along with you know my Brown Brothers out there man you can't can't you can't bla without Mexicans you feel what I'm saying and ain't no L.A without the Mexicans though don't get it twisted got the good jerk chicken cooking over there you know what I'm saying black folks I don't get me money and I said my boy right here you've been having all the classic cars and I've seen the classic foreigns too let's see you know do Chevys you'd be having old sobs and [ __ ] up in there we started off on fig you know what I mean and we ended up on Crenshaw cause it's big show Gang you know what I mean so right now we're in the lot man we're in the Avenues man you know what I mean this is this is where where

know what I'm saying really be getting to the money man you know what I'm saying that's that's what we all try to be about man getting this legal money man so it's a lot of talent in the Crenshaw district and that's the side we own right now you know what I mean so like I said you see homies up here hanging peacefully little girl got a truck out here she ain't the only one with the truck she ain't the only one that pull up and yeah that's where we at baby 43rd Lambert I mean historical [ __ ] it's the homegirl Joy I say it's my boy tiny Rick girl f5p tiny Rick man all day you feel me but um yeah man she out here doing her [ __ ] you know we always got a support man I don't care what to say you gotta support your folks man don't think he ain't gonna be able to come to the hood that's always a goal no matter what I don't care if I become 100 millionaire if I can't come back here it ain't worth it it's not a real La ice cream truck if you ain't got this you ain't got chili cheese
