Man when I go to L.A. I wear an orange safety vest and muslim kufi 💯 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 YOU BURNT OUT FOO 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Orange is not a good color to wear out there.
I don’t think that orange vest will be a good thang son
They’ll probably think you’re a Hoover 🤣
Orange is probably the worst color to wear.
We fully support this young brother Quan and his grind.
We also support Holdin Court for keeping it 💯
Growing up LA was wild asf, I thought the not wearing certain hats, and not saying certain words was just normal life, it wasn’t until I moved out of the Los that I realized not every place was like that, it was crazy but still good times
ATLANTA trying to mimic CALI politics and gone get in BIG TROUBLE
I always wanted to go to LA but nah forget it because i like wearing different ball caps and i wanna enjoy myself without being press.
STAY OUT OF CHICAGO ALSO BECAUSE THEY TRIP ON HAT'S ALSO!
@Jerry-xs1uz that's why I love being in the South I can wear whatever tf I wanna wear plus carry a concealed weapon on me at all times.
@@Jerry-xs1uzlol no they don’t. I mean back in the days it was always which side you tilted your hat deciphers where you from
I wear a Dashiki and open toes sandals in L.A. 😂
Waiting on this one Big Court love what you got going on over here at Holding Court.
Watts Homie Quan keeps my chest hurting in laughter! This was a great interview. Thank you @Holding Court Podcast for having him on!
I like this kids just wish his brother didn’t do that 🌈 shit but Quan is a real down to earth brother
I am from LA. Lot of this has mellowed out these days. Unless you are in a really bad area, you stand out or run into some ignorant MF, it’s not as crazy as it used to be. Just be cool, respectful. The “community liaison” is a great idea for out of town people 😂😂.
LA used to have 2500 homicides a year..of course ain't nowhere that bad no more
With “logic” like this is why these communities don’t ever prosper.
@@mco_jont that's part of it.
You ever see a private school or a big company in the hood?
But I bet you see a bunch of liquor stores in the hood. Why?
Nah, I'll pass, y'all can keep California, I'll stay in Florida 🌴🌴
@@ricojustrealtampaflorida1986 shit I'm with you on the Cali shit but Florida?! Fuck that I'll stay my ass in Washington? 😂
Wattshomiequan is RIGHT about everything he is saying.
SUPER INTERVIEW THANK YOU NAMESTE MY KINGS
Went to Slauson and Crenshaw a month after Niiip got killed, two minutes in got tripped on by some crips and all for saying “nah I’m good” homie came baq around and said nah you ain’t. Then proceeded to ask me where I was from, I had to let ‘em know there’s different politics for Mexicans but at that moment wasn’t nothing gonna save me. I finished my brew and bounced
Lmaooo Cuh I know you ain’t lying just from how you said he doubled bacc 😂😂😂😂😂😂
sacrifice you for the tribe and to get a stripe
I’m mean it makes sense tho, a month after nip passes and almost every hood and they momma up in the 60’s set- tensions are high people are drinking on edge, you lucky no one split your wig and left you an unsolved mystery 😂😂😂 count your blessings
I’m from Memphis and took a trip to LA and we had a good time and we’re safe because we didn’t go places that wasn’t safe it just using your intelligence! Don’t be scared just use your common sense 🤷🏾♂️
No doubt LA is huge city and tourists attraction but you know when you're in the trenches over here when there's ghetto birds(LAPD Helicopter) and dogs barking everywhere you probably were in Hollywood or Santa Monica
Exactly
It's the same thing with Memphis just stay in yo lane and be able to recognize danger😂
BE SCARED BY USING YOUR COMMON SENSE
*Eastside Low Bottoms sh*t !*
_Tappin' in from South Central LA_
The simple rule:
Humble yourself when visiting other places. Plain and simple. Most times your demeanor will help you out of a jam.
Shout out to my Watts niqqas ! ✊🏾
Absolutely. Just be chill and genuine. Do not act hard or extra. I’ve bumped into foos rolling deep as fuck and twacked out at 3 in the morning; and being chill has always been how I kept the situation from getting hot.
Another Banger!!!!!!
Dope interview
He was on point with everything that he mentioned sadly🤦🏽♂️ But the worst hat to wear in LA is a HOUSTON ASTROS hat with the letter H and the star on it
Houston & New York Yankees or Anything New York..
All baseball hats are a NoNo
You’ll get pressed for any hat damn near not everywhere but if you run into that one dude that’s trippen best believe he gon press his line fasho fasho
Why not the Houston Astros????
@@emilavilez7739 it represents the HOOVER CRIMINAL gang in LA. That’s the worst hat to ever wear out there😅
Crazy that black ppl like that in Cali bro and proud of it
Laker hat is the safest hat /any color
That Young Soldierz CD was hard!! That “ Straight Gangsta Mack”!was dope
I’m from LA and this is how u go around LA. First off you have to act like you are BROKE. NO fly ass car, NO stand out jewelry, NO going to designer stores SHOPPING spending a grip bkuz it’s somebody always WATCHING, and they will get when it’s least expected by following u home or waiting until u get out your car, and don’t live in a nice house, bkuz it’s subject to get FLOCKED.
As far as the hats go 98% of the hats mean something but that part is not that bad like 20yrs ago.
And going 2 the swap meets it’s still tricky but if u know all BLOODS go to 10th Ave in the Bity Stones and everybody else go to the Slauson swap meet. Don’t get me wrong BLOODS be up in there too but it’s way safer 2 go 2 10th Ave. Be safe out there and know your surroundings
Like Nina Boy Said Keep a Chop Stick I'm from Sacramento It ain't Like LA & Mad Doggin Will Result Into Getting Pressed I See that alot Where I'm from that's a Red Flag & Recording Someone Fighting Will Get You Beat Up & Pointing at a Candlelight Set Up Will Get Your Car Shot at I Heard It Happen Before Out there
I live like that already lol
This is ridiculous. Just stop killing brothers.
i love wattshomiequan cause i was born and raised and still living in watts ive been living there since i was 2 and im 16 crazy ,
Bro be breaking it down . Watching his videos will literally teach u how to survive
I'm a Dallas Cowboys Fan Can I Wear My Gear In The Blo%$ Neighborhood?
No. That's NH rollin 80 crip from long beach
@@MOBDef.I take it the safest colors to be in in L.A. are basic black and white especially for out of towners
Only for black people. Everyone else can do whatever they want.
@@lmnop7098 Mexicans be on them colors too not just blacks!
I remember wearing a Milwaukee brewers hat at the Crenshaw mall. The looks I got 😅
Here in the Chi it aint what hat you wear but how you wear it(Turned right or left) however back in the 90s we did rock a few hats that had meanings for example: Gds wore Raiders gear because Raiders stood for (Ruthless Ass Insane Deciple Everywhere Running Shit),Boston gear that stood for (Brothers Of The Struggle Taking Over The Nation),Houston Astros because of the cracked 5 point star logo plus any Duke Blue Devil or Depaul Blue Demon hat....now under the 5 the Stones use to rock Stl Cardinals hats because the STL stood for Stone Love,the ViceLord's and Latin Kings wore any yellow/gold hat (Pirates,Steelers etc) thats just an example however that was the 90's shit done changed here💯
Everything thing u said is correct Vice Lords we rock the Pittsburgh pirates hats and Steelers , and Vanderbilt because it has the big V and 5 point star.
@@Mario_pinsyeah joe my best friend conservative so I know I'm 7414 but yeah I know💯be safe gang
I feel that, but here in Los Angeles those hats represent the area and Gang you actually from. The Houston Astros just may be the hat that get you stepped to in damn near every area in LA. Obviously the S-hat & NY hat the same. If you in ANY SECTION of the Hoovers across Figueroa wit an S hat or NY hat..you will be stepped to IMMEDIATELY! Vice versa
I see a lot of hoods in and outside of Chicago that have GD opps wearin the Seattle Mariners hat with the rakes upside down I had to fight some niggas livin out here in Seattle out here cuz supposedly they got GDs here none of these Niggas folk I’m actually GD frm Brooklyn
Wudup Joe.
Got luv for the Chi niggaz moving around out here
The SF Giants hat in the valley is for Varrio San Fer
Also another tip Read the walls
I’m from Boston. Of course back then whenever I traveled a B fitted was an essential accessory. My friend from back home whom I stayed with had a partner of his come pick us to go out. Bro was from Inglewood if I’m not mistaken. After we dapped he said that I may wanna leave the hat behind. Straight Scooby Doo face from me. He then broke everything down. I was hatless the rest of my stay.
I am originally from San Diego and then moved up to Fresno, but I always knew I had to move different when it came to LA. Even when I would drive through LA and get gas I always made sure I didn't stick out and when I was in LA with family or the homies we always made sure we kept our head on a swivel. Mostly because we know all it takes is to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and you can get pressed etc....
😅😅😅😅😅😅 e we you 😅ee see yes see ree😅
A lot of ppl are focusing on the hats which is very true but the other thing he brought up was the certain words too. There’s really so many everyday words that are used to diss certain hoods.
Rice Krispies, Sissies, Bubble gums, etc...
Facts, the last time I ate there, I said enough, and that Broadway swap meet, never too dangerous
I'm old now but I always wore whatever I want. Mostly blue. I never carried myself confrontational and always addressed brothers with love. No problems ever. Even in the 90's when I was in my 20's.
The King cap with the SK on it means something up North for sure.
Thank you 👍🙏 my brother's. I'm from Cali (Born and Raised) however please beware of disrespectful n....s from Atlanta Georgia trying to claim and mimic California LA sets and hoods that ARE NOT CALIFORNIA!!!! Y'ALL need to CHECK ✔️ ATLANTA IMMEDIATELY! THANK YOU!
120 Raymond's wore the KC hat back in the 80s...stitched a straight line at the top of the K with white thread to make it RC...
Yup yup yup , 💯💯💯💯 WATTS UP
Love watts homie quan
Mann he brought up "Young Soldierz" Stretch & Big Wy!! I use to jam them and OFTB!! Whoop2x
The safest hat to wear in LA, is a All Blacc LA hat with the white Letters
I just wore nike hats…a white nike hat
I ain’t wearing a baseball hat at all. I’ll wear a bass pro hat before I wear that Shìt
@jwhite7104 How do you cats style on with all those restrictions...smh
Great community, think I'll move there.
You can go anywhere it’s just about how you carry yourself
You can but prob not the best choice
Uhhh...no you can't. Unless you're an old yt lady or something. You might think so but some people don't care if you're respectful or tough, they will pack you out.
Go head, find out yourself.... you never did, thats why you're alive
Big court got a question on the steel here soundtrack who is the rapper on the song gon be alright
Born and raised in Compton all dayz. CVLx3! I think the worst hat in all of LA/LA County maybe the Houston Astros. Grooves got enemies in every section of LA it seems. Naybahoods as well, but hella allies as well.
Dodger Blue LA hat can get you sweated back in the day.
Still will
KINGS- Kickin It in Nickerson Gardens?
Its not only LA its California as a whole. The Bay to Sac to LA and San Diego you gotta be extra careful. These rappers should just get security professional security with insurance
Without a doubt, the Houston Astros H hat gotta be the most dangerous hat to wear in LA.
I was in Inglewood 2 yrs ago wit a red SF hat on....i was HOPING mfs knew I was a tourist!
In the Valley that hat be representing San Fernando (SanFer), and on the Eastside of L.A. that hat is worn by Family Swans (Swans/Family).
Inglewood gentrified
@@G-spookyk4zssome what ..but please don’t get nobody killed ..🤦🏾♂️
I went to Cali on a greyhound. I had on a red Houston Rockets hat and the CK in the hat was the biggest letters. Had a stop in Texas and a dude told me thar I'm going to have to take that off once I got out there. I was going to San Bernadino and then Riverside from there. He said that was crip area. Later on in the trip I met a dude from Oakland and I was telling him what the dude told me about my hat. That fool said F them. That's your hat. You bought it and you ain't from no gang ish so rock your ish. I was already leaning that way anyway so I was like F it. When we finally got there, I saw an In and Out Burger not far from the bus station. I decided to walk to the burger spot with my hat on just to see if anyone would tell me anything. Nothing. A dude in a wheelchair asked me for a cigarette but that was it. I went got my burger (In and Out overrated) and went back to the bus station. That's when I started to see a lot of dudes in the area rocking red. That was the only time I wore non neutral colors while I was out there. I figure they won't just kill me without question. They'll at least ask where I'm from first and once they hear me talk they'll know I'm not from there. I ended up meeting some cool dudes out there. I met some weirdos too.
Be thankful you weren't in the Crenshaw District....I ASSURE YOU, you woukd have been stepped to immediately.
Sounds like what they told Master P. They heard his country ass accent and said he was safe lol
Im from the Bay
There's really no banging out here in the bay area
But if I were ever to come to L.A. I'll make sure to stick to basic black and white or grey clothing!!!!
Ima Laker fan from Sac but when I’m in LA I wear a Sacramento Kings hat or gear so they ain’t even gotta play the guessing game wit me😂
Why not wear a lakers hat? Nobody trips on laker gear. LA loves the lakers
Not from LA but lived near Fremont high school for a while. Just avoid going anywhere out there. You wanna go to Hollywood. Beaches or theme parks than do it. Avoid the clown places where you gotta worry about what your hat say. Them clowns won’t be happy until they run them all out and the neighborhoods completely gentrified. A lot places I avoided and I had a firearm on me almost all the time. I remember going to some African art event they had at the watts towers and one of the most peaceful days I had. That’s how it should be out there
The TWINKIE/CUPCAKE took the CAKE for me!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's Rollin 20s Crips (Long Beach) and well as the Rollin 20s Neighborhood Bloods (L.A.) and the Outlaw 20s Bloods (L.A.)
Quan didn't say it though.
That shit is crucial
I remember the Broadway swamp meet. #LAbaby
It's not what's on your head. It's what's in it.

🥷 graduated in 94 🥷 😮 damn in Kevin hearts voice
The title really should be how to survive in SOUTH LA and EAST LA. Pretty much anywhere else is cool and safe
West la cool?
I'm from south central, I don't live there anymore sadly. But I do frequent visit and I reminisce my growing up around there. I Bern to the slauson swap meet never been ran on or nothing. Also driven all around watts and especially eating at the Hawkins spot . Bern inside the courts in watts. Anyway, be respectful and since I know what's up it's. All. Go
Can anyone put all the food and clothings disses and what hood it refers to
Kings (Kickin' it in Nickerson Gardens) They use to wear them kings hats
Bhigk Facts on Hunnas
Translation: don't go to anyone's hood acting silly. No the layout of the land use common sense. It should get to a point where you get to mature for goofy shit like this. Mugs need to travel nationwide and worldwide then their perspective on life might (keyword might) change. I have been in many hoods from San Diego to Boston back to Seattle to Miami. Every hood in a sense is exactly the same even the ones overseas. I don't need to travel to go to the hood. I can see them at home. Evolution is always the key. Love and respect to you all.
JUST TO ADD TO THE KANSAS CAP QUESTION , THERES A SUR SIDE GANG , KANSAS STREET , THEY WEAR KC CAPS TOO , SO THERES ANOTHER CAP TO STAY AWAY FROM
i dont leave town without that burna
Yeah, however that can still get you clapped in CALI
@@Jerry-xs1uz I'm going going back back to Cali Cali
I bet you the police will go to all these places he’s saying “don’t go!”.👮🏼♂️
The police knows all of this already they just don’t care
Naw the cops don't go to some of these places unless it's a raid because they just be grimy and ruthless
They’re the police genius
The police is the biggest gang in LA.
Exactly

Detroit is fairly similar as far as tuccin in your jewelry or Buffs
RIP BIG WY
LA hat can also be a problem. If you enter highland park in LA . The avenues gang wear LA Hats and that can cause problems if you in the wrong area .
Blue LA-Los Avenues. 🌴NELA🌴
Idc where you at if you go to any city/hood with jewelery and flashy you gonna get tried people know who not from around
I ain’t gonna lie I never even wanted to go there at all 😂😂
Crazy I can't say certain words in LA in 2023
Varrio King Kobras in East LA wear the Kings Hat
Quan, excellent opportunity to create a wanna ride and walk the hood experience gotta pay LA Hood Touring business to generate income for you and hoods.
Shut up
Inglewood is suburban
LAX area has activity but no one active
Watts is cool
Figuerora late night has all ethnic groups smokin eatin throughout the night
2020 right before shut down
I was out front of a smoke shop in South Korea town with some pirus thinking they were shop employees.
That’s how kind and cool this county and area is if you’re just cool and kind in return
I’m growin up in Back n Forth from Philadelphia and Brooklyn it was him moving off of like hoods as I’m like that one gang like in New York we got Bloods n Crips but Philly it’s that gang for that neighborhood like PNB is a gang in PNB Rocks neighborhood I’m frm Zoo gang in Philly to but I’m GD in Brooklyn but yeah that was just him just tryin to move like Philly and being ready but he couldn’t move out there like that I was out there with bro and Poundside Pop nem n Pop got a purple Phillies hat n he was told he couldn’t wear that
Should've asked him about his zesty brothers video
If you in Compton Lantana bloec wear LA hats
Facts Compton AD always wear that LA hat and he’s from Lantana Block
I was just in LA last week literally on Crenshaw and Slauson at the fat burger and I had my homegirl who’s from that neighborhood chillin wit me….did I need her there? Not really but I like having folks from the hood wit me because I don’t wanna look lost although I knew where I was. But while I was there I showed nothing but love to everybody but not because I’m afraid but because I love my people. I pray for south central it needs a lot of TLC.
That being said I had a BALL I was in Inglewood, South Central, Echo Park, a dodger game, Melrose all sorts of stuff wasn’t even worried. I was more worried about the BUMS!!! 😂😂😂
That’s what I do when I hang out in LA lol
@@dawereck2903 I’m moving to LA in 2025 it’s the best place for me to be.
Cleveland fan here, already know I gota tuck Wahoo in LA
Columbus in dis hoe
im native and always wanted the black hat with the red wahoo, know where i kan order one with them in stock by chance?
i spose i kan just google and search some websites
@@kushmob4208 idk bro they stopped makin it I think. I just got a lot of them hats with wahoo but they done switch the entire name of the team now 🤦♂️
@@kushmob4208 yo only chance may be like some underground type situation 😂 or whoever mess with throwbacks but they trippin you even sayin you’re native and rock wit it. I always wonder how REAL natives felt about wahoo
7:00 😂😂😳
So does this only apply to hood places or just any regular place around?
And does this only apply to black people? 🤔
@@nickelbus7596 that was going to be my follow up question. Maybe I’m tripping but something tells me they aren’t making white folks check in and wear the right color hat. Now if you’re walking through the jungles or something, I get it. But are fools doing this at the beach or by the Lakers arena?
Seem like it's so many complexed rules and regulations just to move around in LA, that it almost make it not even worth it to go there altogether. I can't even say certain food items without potentially creating problems???
Are you planning on going to the hood? Then yeah you gotta be careful. But if you’re just going to stay in the cleaner areas it shouldn’t be as big of a problem. Just don’t try to dress rich, or look like a gangster rapper. Don’t stick out…be modest and lowkey as if you’re in a Muslim country or some shit lol.
Why only our people have to follow these rules
It's Black's Browns and Asians that follow this life style. Get out that cave.
Even a blue Dodgers hat could get you pressed in certain neighborhoods. I know back in the day a lot of Crips wore those like Daz & Kurupt for example. You're probably just better off with a black or white Dodgers hat.
Bad example with them two rappers..keyword RAPPERS …but that hat is not neutral
@@kalipooh3388 they're from long beach and that's mostly crips is why and they had connects in LA but werent deep in it like that
@@KingJT80Kurupt isn’t from Long Beach, he’s originally from Philly and moved to South Central
@@kenking2536 yeah i know. they used to call him bi-coastal. but he reps long beach east side because hes been there since a teenager
@@KingJT80Long Beach is ONLY Crip and no one from LB rocks LA hats period.
I'm wearing a L.A. galaxy fitted
Philly & L.A. used to be ♾️ 🔐 🤝 like most ppl don’t even kno Kurupt is from Philly. But that PnB situation was nutty & they didn’t stand on business like they were supposed to. My understanding the relationships were established in the military believe it or not.
I came to LA two months ago and people were cool as hell.I’ve been twice and both times the hood showed love…except for Compton 😂 I just know them Mexicans was stalking so I had to swerve the Rental Mercedes like I was insured 😅
Where rich homie quan at
I’m from the Mil(Milwaukee) our baseball team the worst wear in LA
So which Homie Quan had the name first?
🤜🏿💥💎💥🤛🏿
Watts stand up baby 92nd and hiccory allday baby
I'ma be strapped or around ppl that's strapped at all times
Careless whispers😂
I stay with my Phillies hat on PIRU 🅱️
Tha Broadway Swap Meet if u KNOW U KNOW. ASK G PERICO!!!!
The Broadway swap meet use to be lit forreal
Im from Altadena but when I go to LA I'm wearing a robe and some house shoes wit my heels showin out the bacc an we got a Roscoes an a Waffle House out here im good 😂😂😂
How much does your chances of getting hit up decrease if you avoid gang infested neighborhoods?
I would say that it would be about a 80% decrease of you getting your wig split, if you stayed away from the hoods.
You can get pressed anywhere even if you're not in a hood. As long as you're not wearing a Yankees hat, Houston Astros, Texas Rangers, Washington Nationsls in red, or St. Louis Cardinals hat. The Houston Astros hat is the most dangerous hat to wear in L.A.
Drastically as long as u don’t stand out
A lot of the hoods in LA don’t look rundown, you can go to Venice Beach and get pressed by the Shorelines Crips. So unless you know where you’re at it’s not that easy
@@kenking2536 went to Venice n didn’t see any crips
Was Bigg Jah a banger back then?
