Cali is a fucking shithole, it's the home of all the new age gangbanging, modern racial segregation, gun control (allowing criminals to fuck up civilians).. It just shouldn't exist.

I thank him for not blaming anyone for his actions. He recognizes and accepts everything he is responsible for.

Considering how hard of a life this guy has lived, and continues to live, he is in DAMN good physical shape, especially for almost 60! Imagine if he actually took care of himself. Dude would be a UNIT!!!

@Smoothy J Just do it. Be about what you say you want. Develop a routine for 30 days and it becomes a habit. Ain't no secret.
O no shit huh?! Hell ya. Godbless the homje and ylurs
He’s full of stories and I could listen all day. Praying for this man.
One of the most brilliant things that Mark does is to know when to just let the camera roll.
@Adams Agreed
Jennifer Decker absolutely another interviewer would fuck this up. I love how he just lets them talk. Sometimes after they say something he lets there be a silence and in those moments is usually when the great information comes out.
It so real and some sad I'm addicted to this
I see a very scary individual,completely absorbed by his demons,some unlucky person is gonna experience his anger,guaranteed,how many daughters don’t have a father because of this guy?
I love how mark has his own style of interview for each person. Johnny he hardly says a word. Royalty he showers with compliments because he knows that’s how to get them to talk. Johnny he doesn’t have to do much though… Johnny just talks lmfao
Can't believe this man is 60 with a full head of hair and a jacked physique🙆♂️🙆♂️

Good for you!!!
"Just staying out the way" I have heard that saying from a lot of people that got out of prison. Some times that says A LOT.
at first, i thought they was talkin about flat top the street dancer
He has a beautiful rhythm to his speech and he is a talented storyteller. Maybe it’s his Mississippi roots. I hope you can keep us updated with him! Very interesting guy.
Dude is ripped for 60 ..damn..he saw the whole crack epidemic from start to now. Crazy..good interview.

@@rodrigosandoval4574 Nothing wrong with mentioning that someone who lived a life like this is articulate. You're the one with the problem mate.
He’s 60, he’s a survivor; many of his opponents didn’t make it- if any, so imagine the ghost that haunt his memories.
To be able to tell his story, that alone is a blessing; also life lessons.
From farming to gangbanging... Crazy how different environments turn people out
This, shows that kids who grow up in environments like this and grow up making bad decisions it’s not their fault it’s how they where raised

Unfortunately Society doesn't really care about turning good black people into martyrs, there's a certain amount of people that eat and live from our mistakes, just like prison reform right now a lot of people don't want to because they know that is going to put a lot of people out of work

@@nylsor0906 I guess you are right. I guess I might have looked at it as if they are all reformed, fully recovered or getting interviewed from a place of peace and stability.
That would be even sadder to see
@@t_challathagod172 that would certainly be ideal, wouldn't it. I wonder what made him leave his country life in MS and move to the city and "choose" gangbanging. What was his thinking or going thru? What made him seek that life? I work as a nurse in Baltimore and come across A LOT of homelessness and heroin addicts and I always ask "what made you try it" or "how did you get to where you are"? The responses never cease to amaze me. Some even try drugs thinking they're stronger than its reputation. But I tell you what, I've never met a homeless person or drug addict that had pictures of themselves before they got strung out. Lol. Hope I didn't offend you...didnt mean to.
Somebody needs to take this guy to Men's Warehouse, put him on a real nice fitted suit with hard bottoms, find a young lady to braid his hair and then show himself to himself in the mirror. He would probably lose his mind.
Hmm .that's a freaking good idea.4rl.push it.maybe soft white will do it

I’d pitch in
@Kamal Rowzee I thought it was just he first said he was locked up in 2000 all the way to 2010 then turn around and said that he got locked up again back in 2006 after he got some girl pregnant. Am I missing something?
These interviews need to be on TV. Thank you Mark for this fascinating work.
The Harlem 30 Crips are a notorious hood on the west side of South Central. He came to Los Angeles in 1979 when the Crips began having wars against one another(Gangster Crips vs Nayborhood Crips). That same year the founder Raymond Washington was killed. That was a huge change for a country boy to come into the hub of gangbanging, South Central Los Angeles, as a teenager. He's in good shape because in prison you have to program. That often includes a daily workout regimen. It's not only for their physical health but more so for their mental health, to have a routine. He's just maintained it outside of prison. I'm happy to hear he's off papers. He'll kick the habit when he's mentally ready and sick of all the bullshit.
The brothers here in California don't fall under a mandatory program Behind the Walls everybody else do but we don't
The 30s are some foul mfers. I can see why the Rollin 20s Bloods hate em so much. No honor! He said they Dp'd him for not smoking some innocent women and kids. They even jumped his ass out with 30 niggaz when he was 51 years old....after all that work, all that time, no snitching, solid asf, OG status. They should've bought him a hoe, some crack or something. But nah, they just fucked his ass up instead lol, foul asf
I never knew there was a blood set called “Rollin” 20s.
I thought all the “Rollin” gangs were Crips.
@@_RobBanks theyre probably the biggest blood gang in LA, NeighborHood Rollin20s Blood Gang. Now please don't make a copycat set in your city
Dooly oh don’t worry about that one!
I can only imagine what his life would look like had he never moved to a city, *Especially* South Central.
I thought the same thing. He should have states down South

@@percyastronautstatus.8780 idk what was said to you I’m just responding to you equating being a man to being logical, when we have a prime example (the man in the video) of men not being inherently logical. Even he said “I’ll stop when I feel like it.” And there’s plenty like him. Men being purely logical and women being purely emotional are pure fallacies. I can tell by the way you type you’re emotional, pipe down.
He’s a cool dude. He would look even better off drugs. I hope one day he can quit for his daughter.
Kristen Kings that’s not how it works
He was actually caught taking a shit by 1800 block that’s why he really went in
First he needs to want to quit himself. Work on himself, love himself imo.
@@kingk5827 you where there? How'd you know?
I don't see anything to admire - oh, he didn't like shooting at women and children. Do you also have a serial killer husband on death row?
He’s not lying about the guards at Corcoran staging fights, I remember hearing about that on the news YEARS ago, google “california prison fight betting”. It was back in the 90s. They called it “gladiator days” and it used to be a ritual that was well known, inmates would bet on it too and the guys would look forward to the fights because they were already enemies.
Things were way different back then, before all these cell phones and cameras everywhere California was insane. People got away with stuff you wouldn’t even believe.
A Jack there used to be a youth detention centre here in Tasmania Australia the was renowned for that same shit . I personally went through the system after it’s closure but my uncles (who are half Palawa/indigenous half Irish) were pitted against the darker of their own cousins . I’ve heard some seriously brutal stories mate I tell ya. I always imagined the American system to be on another level though
huey.p. newton you idiot , it’s a widely known fact that isn’t true
huey.p. newton what you’re doing is listening racist propaganda that was put forward by white government two as to settle the minds of white settlers . The government kelts this going right up until 71 . There is a strong indigenous community here in tassie . There is still an all “aboriginal” community on cape barren island (a place where my ancestors on my fathers side) were forced to live , there and on flinders island where most of them were forced to live and some still choose to live . Do some research you may learn something rather than talking absolute horse shit and thinking you have knowledge
wow 'incremental release,' just learned about it. what a sick system we have. our system always has supported and promoted violence btw races. i just read too even in 2019 majorly corrupt sh*t is still happening there. the system is truly against poor poc. even this guy, had to fight 5 to 1, you dont even get to think about it, youre forced to just defensively fight.
just for the record, this wasn't just back in the 90s. it goes on today at corcoran SHU. CO's will let SHU programmers out for "yard" (if you can call it that, it's really just a cell with extremely high walls open to the sky above) - but what they'd do would be to release people who have to get down with each other on sight, due to prison politics. this could be a northerner and a southerner, a black and a white, etc. they do this intentionally, and gamble on the winner. again though, this is happening as i write this. it never ended. same goes for california youth authority. gladiator fights never ended.
I’m 42. Best channel best content I’ve ever watched. Big respect mister creator. It’s amazing what your doing.

"The penitentiary preserves you" highly interesting. That's why These homeless drug addicts sometimes have those semi ripped bodies. The human body is truly unique you can put it through so much and still it thrives.
True. What a waste of all that athletic potential
@@annn9917 They aren't athletic lmao. Eating prison food made sure of that.
Sometimes looks are deceiving. Drug addicts mentally and emotionally never develop, if you want to call that preservation. He’s never worked a day in his life. He doesn’t have a care in this world. He’s a perpetual child reprobate. I wonder if he has children.
@@vol.9543 Yes exactly"preservation"! I find it interesting, yes he still looks bad if you actually analyze him and internally probably not well either. But I've lived in bad neighborhoods and i swear I've seen quite a few ripped drug addicts. But they live on the streets their whole life is one continuous cardio exercise to survive.
When all you have is time on your hands, body weight exercise adds up.
Lesson of the day "Bullets really hurt". Jokes a side he wasted his whole life being on the street and doing drugs. I hope u tries to find something more filling in life. 😔🙏
He has wasted his life. He has.done nothing meaningful with his life. He killed folks hes detroyed black communities and he does drug. What do you mean by asking whats a waste? Duh everything he has done.
imjustsaying tho stfu loser
NoVonna Smith true on all points
@imjustsaying tho It is a waste. Why are you pretending like being a gang member who does/sells drugs and hurts people isn't a waste of life? Its the same harsh reality as all the prostitutes he interviews. They're wasting their lives on drugs, violence and/or degeneracy..
Live how you want him living his life isnt gone stop the world from turning
He said a couple of things about life that is true. The first thing is that there are people out out there looking to use you and take over your life. The second thing is that no matter where you go people are watching you and looking to set you up and take what you got.
I low key wanna meet this man ... putting stuff into perspective! This will have you re-evaluating your life and what you can do to make changes for the better . 💯
I have got to say this is the realest most honest interview I heard yet.
I like this man and his honesty
You’re doing a great thing here. Hopefully more people will open their eyes and think about the reactions before the action.
I come back and watch/listen to Flat Top every so often. Wish Mark could find him again and do a follow up, but I’m sure he’s doing just fine.
A very likable person. As a motherless child I venture to say I know his daughters heart must ache to no end. You often become codependent and will do anything to see your parent thrive even if at your own expense and even when they fail to thrive or be what you need them to be. You lose yourself. One of The most painful things a child/adult child can got through especially when the streets take their “parent’s” life for good. I wonder if his parents are still around and what happened to his relationships with them while in California...
He would let you down or rob you in a heart beat.
@@RobbinHoodz Wouldn't it be nice for you if you could write a coherent sentence. Then your goal could be to put two together and apply to mop the floors at McDonald's - until then you'll have to stick to tricking and bouncing between prison and the government's tit. You could always take your bend over job in prison on the road. You give a whole new meaning to the words : Sucker for cigarettes. In your case, I guess it's suckhim
He is a man of great strength.I don't think many people would have survived his life. I'm glad he is connecting with his daughter.
This men, he's the person who you can see that even with a much harder life he had, you can still be a good person and learn with the things you made.

Cali can suck you down I had to leave. It happens.
He started drugs at 13, hes been suffering before he left at 19
Boner Man And Cali made shit worse.
It seems that he suffered important trauma when he was younger, to fuel this ongoing life of agonizing drug use and crime. Nothing is soft in his life, no comfort. Wonder what he really come through in Mississippi.
incredible, I feel sad, I feel uplifted. Go and spend time with your daughter Sir.
This man is my motivation to continue keeping my body right . He makes you look forward to seeing 60 for real

They claim the gang "loves" them, but these groups try to kill them when they want to leave. 🤔
And they dont help him get off the streets

All these guys just give up their lives for nothing. Very sad.
SparkLife
Trauma tends to do that to people. I agree, it’s so sad
@@rottie615 It doesn't matter the trauma. People go through very hard and questionable times and become normal civilized people. It's all about choice and how to handle that choice yourself. Some people are simpletons and don't know that the world is a bigger place than their thought process makes it up to be. Don't let trauma discourage on how to handle your actions wisely. If you do, then what you did might make up more than your past traumas will ever do to you. Which can mostly be bad.
Temp sikandersucksKilla a lot of people that experience trauma do not have access to the things needed to get their self together. With any trauma yhu need to see a therapist but guess what .. that cost ! And not everyone has money . & also everyone can fight the same war but everyone won’t have the same scars some might not even get scared. Let those words sink in
Bitchhimm Kee everyone can fight the same war but won’t have the same scars. Powerful words for the ignorant

at 12:00 onwards the subtitles read "shine", but it's also likely he's saying "sherm" - slang for PCP. love your channel.
Guys like this have an amazing spirit. He falls victim to the flesh. The human heart is hard period. God bless him.
@synergy so what would you do? Who are we to judge, people were going to either rob or kill him and they have attempted to. Only God can judge what do you say about somebody who changed their life and tells the story to help others
This has to be my favorite one in a long time.
What a body wow. It's good for his age and for the abuse it's endured over the years. God bless you man
Him and WattNitty were our neighborhood DEBO. When you would here that they were coming, you got ghosted.
Shit I wouldn't fuck with him now I'm 25 he 60 lol and which neighborhood in cali ?
This is the best interview on the channel.
Wow! These stories are nothing short of incredible. So real, so raw, so full of uncut wisdom.
I get depressed when I watch these interviews
Sometimes
Yeah me too. Sucks. Sad waste.
Binge watching and I really liked this guy ! Good video ! 💚
Vicious Circle, I've been caught up in crime since 83" MY PRAYER IS I DON'T DIE THIS WAY! p.e.a.c.e
The body of a soldier.
It took him his whole life to get it right but seems like he is on his way down the right road at least. I have never been on drugs but have a brother that is but if he get in some kind of program or better get that WANT to STOP the drugs I feel like he would be a good dad and a good person. He has just let the world take his mind but he is waking up and trying to do better. You have to give a person credit for that. They have to start somewhere.
My dad started working as a maintenance mechanic at Corcoran when they first opened in 88 or 89, he was a certified welder. He was older then and retired in 94. He used to teach inmates how to weld. He enjoyed that part of it. I didn't hear too many stories, but I do recall him talking about those corrupt CO's betting on those fights. Big news story. Manson was there then as well and had got caught sending messages back and forth to his followers via the back of TV sets. I believe that's why he retired so early - he couldn't take the corruption. Thank you Mark for what you are doing on this platform. You are doing important work letting folks share their stories. We need more compassion in this world.
This man reminds me of a uncle I had. He is gone now. But he did live his last days a free man and he was clean. He had been in and out of jail so much that he was more comfortable in jail then out. Hope this man will find peace and the ability to get clean. Also to not blame the system or the "man" for his actions is admirable because most people today always blame others for their problems.
Thank you for sharing your story OG.
THIS INDIVIDUAL HAD SOO MUCH POTENTIAL...THE WAY HE TALKS AND CARRY HIMSELF HE COULD HAVE AND STILL BE SOME 1 GREAT!💯
Somebody is praying heavy for this guy, faithfully! He is alive for a reason, if not only just to tell his story maybe to be a living example! God ain’t ready for him yet! God bless him and his love ones!
He is just fascinating! One of the best storytellers in these series ...
