I loved this video. Just sitting here listening to the OGs going back down memory lane trying to imagine what it looked like seeing all the Crips and Pirus chillin, mobbin just listening to the music. Now another great part of this video tbh and to put icing on the cake was AC Bobalouie telling that story about being in YTS. This is one of my All Time Favorite videos. Great work Mr. Untouchable aka Big Kev Mac! Peace! #Salute!!!

Enjoyed the cut in with AC. Cat Caesar Cutes and Pretty Boy are great story tellers. I watched it twice.

I hate when these clips end, i get caught up in the conversations. Good Job brutha Kev!

RAYMOND TRY TO MEET JUNIOR THOMAS THERE , BUT JUNIOR WAS A NO SHOW. AND ALL THE REST OF US , THE ORIGINALS , HAD NO EXPLANATION FOR RAYMOND , SO HE & HIS E/S CRIPS DECIDED TO LEAVE , THAT WAS THE SPRING OF 1972 , BEFORE THE DEATH OF LIL COUNTY. NOW BIG AC USE TO PUSH A CLEAN CADILLAC IN THE MID OR LATE 70S , AND HE HAD A YOUNGER ROAD DOG NAME NUBB OF ELM STREET PIRU. THEY BOTH USE TO COME AT DOOTOS BOWLING ALLEY , ONE BLOCK FROM PIRU STREET. ME & MY ROAD DOG NAME YELLOW ICE 132ND W/S PIRU USE TO HANGOUT OUT THERE , AND AC USE TO COME THRU AFTER HE WAS RELEASED FROM YTS AROUND 1975 OR 76. ALSO I N 1982 , AFTER A SHOOTING THAT I DID INSIDE THE PROJECTS , MY PISTOL WAS SO HOT , I WENT ON PIRU STREET LOOKING FOR LIL VINCE , BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO LET HIM HOLD MY HOT PISTOL FOR ME , BUT I RAN INTO BIG AC INSTEAD OF LIL VINCE WHO WAS IN LOVE WITH MY BIG SISTER AT THAT TIME. AC DIDN'T KNOW WHERE VINCE WAS , AND TRY TO GET MY HOT PISTOL , TO GIVE TO LIL VINCE FOR ME , BUT I DECIDED TO KEEP MY OWN GUN ON ME , BECAUSE LIL VINCE WAS THE ONLY ONE I TRUSTED WITH MY GUN . CHECK OUT KEV MAC VIDEOS PART 3, ABOUT YOU ASKING ME ABOUT HOW MUCH TIME I DONE , AND I TOLD YOU 25 YEARS IN & OUT , AND HOW I SHOT THIS SNITCH UP NAMED "8" - BALL FROM HOOVER IN 1982, AC TRY TO GET THAT WEAPON FROM ME , BUT I WAS LOOKING FOR LIL VINCE ONLY. PLUS IN 2009 AC AND MYSELF USE TO KICK IT AT THE PAROLE OFFICE INSIDE INGLEWOOD. HE ALSO CAME TO MY SPOT INSIDE THE PROJECT AND GOT SOME PHOTOS OF RAY BOYCE FROM ME , FOR HIS BOOK. THEN IN 2012 HE ALMOST BOUGHT MY SUPER CLEAN 1998 LINCOLN TOWN CAR FROM ME , BUT I CHANGED MY MIND & HE WAS UPSET BEHIND THAT, BECAUSE TERRY CARTER WAS GOING TO BUY IT FOR HIM. AND I THINK HE'S STILL DISAPPOINTED AT OOOG FROG#1, BUT HE BETTER GET IN LINE , BECAUSE THE LINE IS TRULY A LONG ONE.

The concepts and stories of Starchild, Sir Nose, Mr. Wiggles, Kid Funkadelic, Dr Frankenstein. All woven through great lyrics and super next level music. Put some Bootsy and JB old backing group, sprinkle a little Fred Wesley and The JB's. Throw in a some guest spots from Felipe Wynn of the Spinners and Melvin Franklin of the Temptations.
