----------
Melvin Farmer, an original member of the Westside Crips and a co-founder of Gangster Crip, opened up to VladTV about growing up in his formative years in the Westside of L.A. He explained that he experienced racism in the area from police and privileged white people, and he shared a story from his younger years to prove his point.
During the sit-down, Melvin spoke about why he didn't attend classes after the sixth grade, which you can hear more about above. - Zábava
Vlad: “Was your father around?”
Melvin: “Yes”
Vlad: “Damn it!”
😂😂
Nawf Slim thank you
Nawf Slim damn u kinda OD’d. 😂😂😂
That's an exception to the rule. Most people are vetter off in a household with 2 parents. I got 0 tolerance for single moms and its making things worst than the 70s.
🤣🤣🤣
Rather see this than some 20 year old wannabe crip rapper that think snoop is a founder
Lor Mook Big fax!! ppl rly sleep on him
put some respect on Snoops name
Norm Reye right lol
Michael Amaru Blanco fuck no snoop lying been a fraud.
@michael Morrison that's on me baby😒
This dude is not for any games. You can tell.
He's an original crip. One of the first 83Gangsta Crips ...Melvin Farmer aka Big Skull
Right
Shane Graham absolutely not
None!!!!
What’s his gamer tag?
The toughest situation that his parents faced at the time was civil rights, prejudice, and segregation. Great fact, and a true statement. Vlad quickly raced away from that subject 🙈🙉🙊
Lol
Yes and i imagine that those situations were brutal but still, i asume he now understands how much they fucked up black comunity forever, so many young and idiot boys and girls are now trapped in that gang life figthing against bloods or crips for what ?
Vlad: you founded the 8 Trey Crips?
Melvin: 8Trey "Gangsta" Crips!
Stanley "Tookie" Williams' "Blue Rage, Black Redemption" is a must-read. More action than a blockbuster and really easy to read. It explains a lot about the culture of gang banging, especially the slang.
alexisdigital monster kody too
Also read I am Raymond washington book it a good book on the founder of the Crips
i looked for this thing in barnes and noble, but I couldn't find it
@@JayLauren Yes, I read "The Autobiography of an L.A. Gang Member" first, and they both say they knew each other in both their books. Monster wrote his first, but since Tookie is older, his book is like a prequel to Monster's.
Raymond Washington didn't write the book, it's a biography done by somebody else, but I'll read it anyway. For Tookie and Monster's defense, auto-biographies are biased by nature: you can't write about yourself 100% objectively. Also they both wrote while in jail, so they made sure not to snitch, and probably didn't tell the whole truth.
5:12 Vlad was prolly smiling behind the camera and OG had to set him straight😭
That's what i was thinking
It was one Of his crew members you can hear his voice behind vlad
I just said the same shit...I'm like who said anything was funny and then I was like Vlad must of smirked or something
i wonder how long till vlad mentions his friend tre D?
😂😂😂😂 I'm dead 😂😂😂
Not long. He's already thinking it. Just not saying it yet.
Spot on my guy spot on😚
The insane from compton his crip homies vloddd
That's Vlad's O.G
Finally! A real og. Bring that real l.a. through...not internet version of l.a. .

finally? do know what the life expectancy of a Black Man is in America? this isn't for pleasure.."real og's" are dead sis..dead asf..toss in sherm, angel dust, crack, reaganomics, then gang violence..joblessness, not sure they'd be an interest here on Vlad prior to recent events. Alex Alonzo been covering OGs for years..Kev Mac as well..the "real la" has been through decades of death and trauma..."real og's" alive and well are far and few in between on ^ said channels...this isn't marvel or wwe...sorry..
Melvin stole that pistol from my uncle house back in 1971

I introduced adam to eve

Why every one make tk kirkland jokes hahahha...what did he said?
MAKAVELI IMMORTAL THUG LIFE___1312 you have to watch TK Kirkland interviews... he help build everybody’s career lmao 😂
@@Publicboner
Wtf hahahhahah okey thanks bro hahahahhaha😂🤦♂️
😭
Vlad was shocked when Melvin stated that his father was in his life and with his mom.
Vlad is very interested in the home upbringing of blacks (single parent vs both parent homes) that played in the street life culture.
Go back and listen to it again
I've noticed that he when he's interviewing rappers and guys from the street
Yup when they say they had a father he always gets stuck .... Vlad be saying racist shit just use different ways
You’re exactly right. & he’s always disappointed when they state something normal or positive. Like when Charlemagne said he would have security and would not ask his loved ones to do dirt. Vlad was disappointed as if he doesn’t talk about his ex cop security all the time.
@@johnnybegood25 yep his tone changes like whattt... Shit reminds me of that scene from Boyz in the hood where the teacher is surprised treys father is in his life smh
Lol he said “okay” how is that shocked? You guys find a way to pretend everything is racist against blacks 🙄
Guarantee Vlad say "We just lost Nipsey....did you know Nipsey?"
Of course ! Why wouldn't he?
He a trey lol
😂😂😂
@Chris C vlad to stupid to know that
I bet $0 he says that...because I know he will lol
This might be a good series
Of interviews but I’d rather see this on KevMac because the OOOGs like this can talk THEIR talk
No question
😢.
Shout out Kev mac
Cheap plug, but fuck it
KevMac is the real deal
Always good learning from a real OG. Thanks for this one Vlad!
Vlad gon put some respect on this man. He got a whole different Aura
Vlad Knows If He Crosses Him He’d Have Static With The 83GC’s And A lot Of Other Hoods In The “Gangsta” Car. Plus He’s Stationed In LA. That Wouldn’t Be Wise
You mean aura?
Aura 💀
@@BLOCKchainGANGgang yes
U mean "Ora" dumbass
This is the interview that I’ve been waiting for
Vlad this a diffrent era Og he don't play none of that laughin and smilin shit...i felt vlads anxiety thru my phone when he checked him...
conflicc ricks 😂😂 For real OG not playing no damn games with this sucka Vlad. I be the eas chuckling and shit when OG said ain’t nothin funny about racism
I had a great uncle like that.
"I say something funny?"
"No sir."
"Then wipe that smile off yo face."
"Yes sir."
“Vlad I was in the living room with Tookie and Raymond when they started the Crips” T.K. Kirkland
Huh
Hamza Faison bruhhhh 💀💀😂
Hamza Faison 🤣💀
Tookie came a couple years after the Crips had already started... but I'm sure Vlod will get to that.
Montee Leach u & Hamza Faison funny as shit w/tht lil skit 😂
Dang VLAD is interviewing everybody. Keep doing your thing VLAD. Important information we should all have access to for reference.
His eyes shows... this Man have seen alot you are bless too be Here this long from one og to another!
Dam vald going hard this year with the Interviews
40 yrs of gang banging wiped out most of the black community in L.A....elephant in the room...
Deep Thinker wrong Coke wiped out most communities in the Mexican and black house hold here in Cali . Gang banging was another hood a force to be respected till CIA destroyed them with Coke .
Def the combination. But yea fam it cant be understated the damage done. We're single digits demographic wise for the whole of LA now smh. And then with the rising rents folks took off to the south and near by counties
not by itself. prolly lost more to the practices of the corrupt police and politicians
Yeah your right! Im born and raised in L.A. cripping and blooding is not what it was in the 70s, 80s, and early 90s, but the killings are still going on
* 50 years
This is going to be a great interview
Much respect to Melvin Farmer for taking a moment out to acknowledge the birthday of the Crips founder, the one and only, Raymond Washington✊✊✊
That guy is responsible for gangbanging. Man's talking like he's MLK or something 😂
Why is he worthy of respect?
@@watkins8256 People are lost
Vlad: “here we have co founder of the crips and 8 trey gangsters”
Melvin: 😑
3:02
This is why i have so much respect for the "ORIGINAL"
Generation!!
No boasting no braggin no tellin about how hard u and your hood
is. Just givin up the REAL AND MORE IMPORTANTLY NO ENDORSING PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER LIVE THAT LIFESTYLE TO JOIN AND DO IT!!!!

Vlad needa put Kev Mac on.. he been doin this. It b coo to see a real one expand . Kev knows what questions to ask n major history.. #KevMacVideos
5:13 Vlad must’ve laughed or giggled OG wasn’t going for it
Will Evans I caught that too
Aint nothing funny about that
I’m not sure, I think he just said it because it didn’t sound like there was a smile in Vlad’s voice though it could’ve been somebody else in the background
He should have done the interview with KevMac
Tonebone2503 I’m sure he’s next
Hopefully Vlad will indirectly shed light on Kev Mac through this interview
Some y’all always bichin. Worse than AB with the NFL.
Tonebone2503 should *have
@@Pleaseopenyoureyes there you go

This will be one of the greatest interviews Vlad tv will ever do... OG SKULL is a good dude and he speak all facts... Much love to u homie.... W/s M8v3n and Gr10v7n
“Crack really never hit Compton till the early 80’s”

✊🏾🔥🔥🔥

Interview Judson Bacot next, he & his brother are the founders of the 83 Crips from Saint Andrews Park.
Now Vlad you showing out wit this one 👌👌👌
As someone with a degree in Paychology, I’m sooooo interested in these Vlad interviews
Gotta respect the fact that cuz is alive & free 🙏🏾
Thought he was the "Challengeeee" guy from The Cosby Show tap dancing episode
One of my favorite episodes name a better one Challenge lol😂😂🤣
GOOD ONE
@@pman-qs6ms Gordon Gartell episode..Challenge
😂😂😂 that episode was hilarious.
“I introduced Raymond Washington and Tookie Williams to Melvin Farmer.”
- TK Kirkland
😂😂
It’s crazy how we really divide ourselves by neighborhoods, but you gotta know where you at.
i love to hear this man talk
It would be nice to see vlad do some interviews of some OG's from vicelords,BD and GD. They never get the shine like the gangs out west
Well I think he tried toget info from twista about chi town gang affiliation. It didn't work out good. Hollywood is mostly responsible for putting LA gangs on the map and that's not including the crack epidemic and migration.
u biting kev mack now?....somebody predicted this.
Vlad b paying these catz
Culture vulture. Gotta get paid
@TruMusic89 wait what u guys talking about
to hell with production value...get the right information...dude saying wrong shit....the crips predated tookie...he say he an original crip...but moved to the west side when he was 9....THATS IMPOSSIBLE.
if he was 9 when he left the east side its no way he was an original.....he is too young....the crios started on the east side....tookie is the first alliance they made...he jad the first "set"....he wasnt a founding member.....there is pretty much only ione guy that was actually with rauymond when he started thats actually speaking out...ac bobalue is a piru now...but he started as a crip before he moved to compton.....check out kev mac...this is fugaze
2:01 the way his tone said “mhm”- it meant “watch yourself nephew”
The name come from victor Adams from the Avenue's
Salute to the OG.
When the fuck are you going to upload new videos
@@tinyfalcon1185 lmao
Hey Vlad, big ups to you man... Now we need a HARRY O interview, he's scheduled to get out the pin or he already got out. His story will KEEP everyone tuned in, even your biggest rappers
Louis Joe good idea but remember, this guy been in jail for forever. You think he gives a fuck about a Vlad interview when he gets out? Be a while for that
Great interview 👍 Can u help us figure this Tee Grizzly situation. R.i.p J.B
Interview Mr.380 from Houston
I wasn't old enuff to had started the crips but if I was it would have been me - TK Kirkland
W
I hope Vlad don’t ask homeboy no stupid az questions and don’t do a lot flashbacks with this interview.
We can only hope
We finna start get active.
Waiting for the Monster Kody part
shout out to the OG
KEV MAC VIDEEEEOOOOOOS
Dj Vlad is on it thank you for always making the show better
My Man Melvin.!!
Vlad you should have brought Kev Mac on first.
He shoulda did this wit kev mac frfr
Vlad never disappoints
He is very good at remembering things
He's tackled the Tupac murder and origins of crack... now Vlad's moving on to new challenges. Yeah man!
This man is straight facts. A lot of these OG's are out in the community promoting unity to the younger generation, Its not all gangbanging and violence
Been in LA for 6 years now and I Just walked into Orville Wright middle school today for the first time ever to meet with a client . Small world
He a legend started the 83 heard a lot bout him over the years him and sydwinder
It suck no footage of Raymond lee Washington or interview of him Founder of the Crips
Brian Muckleroy Those people with the footage got life or died in the streets. Those videos of Tookie in the streets are gone to
@@jknumber5138 what
Most of his friends with film of him and Tookie are dead or in jail... is what I mean
@@jknumber5138 we'll they at least can try to do a movie flim on the Crips Founder Raymond lee washington life or something
There's film of Lincoln from 1865. No film of Raymond or Tookie in the 1970s? But they were the leaders of the Crips. Chicago is the same thing. No film of David Larry or Mickey. That Jeff Fort(All is Well) film is classic(No killing with out killing)
Get kev mac videos on here
Wow vlad you really are putting out gold
This interview going to make me buy monster kody book again
