Man in this interview which is awhile back. You can tell it was hard getting exact answers out of him. Like when he specifically remembered realizing the young man he done slapped. Made a freaking "machine" of a gang called the crips. Or he'll go off on little tangents when answering questions but still much respect for the OG. RIP

You know. What is so good about the station. Is the rare look into the truth. The authenticity. Uncut real video. Kev Mac you deserve an award for doing us justice. I respect you. You know me and I know you. But this goes deeper than anything. Manson. 1975. Hanging with Mexicans in San Quentin. Telling the BGF to get lost. Think about it Kev. Mack people worship Craig Manson from LA and the Crips. Like my big brother did. But he never respected any of the people who worshipped him. He wasn't a crip. He wasn't a black leader. I respect you as a man big brother and I love you too. My good friend Floyd Nelson went to San Quentin in 1980. He didn't join the BGF either. He started an All Crips organization. And the hateful disrespect from our own people that I see distorting my homboy is very wrong. He deserves to be uplifted to a crown. Because I know for a fact that all crips all other black gangs from LA are a distorted version of the LA chapter of the LA black panthers party from 1968. I lived on 84th and Brodway. I saw the beginning of it as I ate breakfast provided by them and saw the black power movement begin in East LA. I'll just leave your righteous channel with this . Sincerely with my humble heart and intent to educate and elevate like my old friend Floyd Nelson suggested to me one day when I went to visit him in the LA county jail after he did his 10 years on his first case. Let me educate our people on words. The word blood came from the black panthers. It means brother. The word cuzz came from the crips it means cousin. I am saying. Black people lost the most important part of everything. Love. Unity. And Respect. Mouse was trying to represent us from LA and do that. My friend was not ever a BGF. He was a Crip.
