Burton Way & Willamin about two blocks from the Beverly Center, when I met you Alonzo, News and Tyrone from New York, I went tagging with you all it was around mid 1986 when Ijust moved to 3rd street and Westmoreland near Vermont, I was coming from the Beverly Center or was it Olympic and Fairfax, w...

I am not sure, I know 59 HTHC was for awhile our main nemesis of my set By Yo S3lf in 1988, 89, and 90, I have not been active in the turf since 91 I have not asked what happened with them

I remember GSH, me C as a S3lf in the eighties and early nineties I remember the beef that was with Gramercy Street they use be considered bloods to most crip sets, they was in the 20's turf and close to BPS City Stones too. By yo selfs did not get along with them for that matter and also there oth...

At John Burroughs Jr High in West LA Area, I use to sometimes hang out with Omar from MCS, this is when I first moved from Cleveland, Ohio to Cali, before I was a By yo s3lf or started out with the claiming PBGC before that. I was living one Burton and Willamin near the Beverly Center in SXR Turf a...

Mansfields turned Gangsta in 1990, late 89 at the earliest. I was locked down with Bear in the Summer of 88, he was a MFH. Even go back to the article you have on the Westwood Shooting in 1988, RSC v Mansfield Hustlers.... Not everyone was claiming Gangster from the start. If you remember correctly...

I was cool with them from across from us, I am By Yo S3lf 86/87-91 era, I use to chill with a few in the mid late eighties, at times when my homies left out to go to party or function they had cars and I did not have one yet, I would walk from 3rd and La Cienga to Pico and Fairfax, I had a few rout...

You saw how Hagler handled both of them right? Hearns broke his hand in that classic with Hagler and Mugabi got exposed for not having the stamina to keep up his attack on Hagler even though Hagler was supposedly hurt or something (shoulder or back). Hearns was a monster...that right was too much. ...

Here is a match up, that a time look like it might happened, but never did. This is a match up that would of been very interesting 2 of the top 4-5 Middleweights of 1985-86. If these two fighters would of met in the ring what would of been the outcome ? This match up I would say could take place any...

One fight I missed, which I was going to order I missed it due to a Family get together and my little cousin graduation party for graduating high school.

Yeah, but in those days, Hagler would have been able to make up for that. Remember how Leonard did Donny Lalonde. It would have been at a catch weight. Hagler was too fundamentally sound, but Spinks would have leaned on all night to eliminate his slickness. Holmes was a solid, pure boxer. He made g...

[quote="HappLoccc"]I remember the war with Home Boys Crimino Gang and By yo self started around 1989, I do not think it got series full war until think 1991, around the last year I was active By yo self in LA, I move out of state for a came back to Cali worked in dancing and music business, danced i...

If there is any film makers that can do a documentary special on the history of West LA Gangs, that would definitely something to think of doing, there is interesting histories on how some of the sets in West LA started, I would say documentary on W. LA and Far West gangs and history til today.

[quote="@1"]I dont really like the skinny jean look, and does not seem to represent the streets.[/quote] Agree Alonzo, I really hate that look, In our day we wore more baggy style pants and saggin', I wore back in the days a lot of khakis dickies, I had black, blue, 3 different gray colors, charcoal...

Now I have been seeing these days some crips wearing red and some bloods wearing blue, did the game change that much from the 1980's and early 90's ?

I wonder how deep they are now ? and are they still in that area or since downtown has been cleaned up did they move there turf to another area downtown ?

I am thinking of ordering Magnavox Odyssey 2 on ebay next month, I want to get games that I had.
Like K.C. Munchkin, Pick Axe Pete, UFO, Alien Invaders. I think some of there early games had better graphics than some Atari VCS/2600 game.

Ronda Rousey just beat a good opponent Alexis Davis in 16 seconds by knock out, Ronda boxing skills has constantly been improving second fight she has won without submission, but by a knockout. She landed a right hand, then took Alexis down with a judo take down and had her in a head lock pounding h...

cliffard wrote:^ loco youre showing your age now , i remember the old atari 2600s but whats 'magnavox'?, im from england, might have been called something else over there....

I think in England it is Phillips Odyssey 2, In Europe Magnavox was Phillips.

I use to see there hit up towards 5th and Spring on the walls outside of Alexandria Hotel back in 1986-87. When I transferred from West LA Baptist High School to Belmont High and met a girl named Nina at Belmont who moved to downtown from Inglewood, and Her, Her Mom and Nina's Son Joseph who was 9 m...

I am surprised no one has posted a reply or commented regarding this very good dream matches, I this could be one of the best dream matches of all time and better fights than the last 15 years.

Miner from LA is on facebook. If you know his real name, you can find him there I do not remember his real name, I can most likely find him, I found a bit of people from back in those days Beverly Center, West LA, John Burroughs. I am going to try to find him on facebook. You have my facebook info ...

I didn't know he was part of SXR. He must of backed up from that scene once he went full fledge WCA. SxR and Pozerz were whacking eavhothet out back then. Miner faded out around 89/90. I started seeing another kidwriting miner in the 2000s by 1989 and 1990 Miner was probable 20 or 21 years old so h...

From what I hear, they are still around, I am from By yo self, inactive since 1991, due to moving out of state in my hometown of Cleveland, and came back to Cali a few years later working in music and dance early mid nineties, left out of state again. Some use to hang out on our turf and was cool wi...

I Breath these these streetz too Loc. You say you from BYSH but aint never heard of Venton Ave. Bette...

the corner did not last long and it was definitely 1986 when it started. The corner became a popular spot for a few reasons. How we have grown, I remember before you really got into the gang thing hard you was one of the first wave or writers, I remember You, Miner, News. When I first 7 months in C...
