of course man has been changing them and
once he found out he could take a
roadster and take the Springs out of it
and lay down low
it's low
[Music]
I'm a dedicated Bonafide low rider for
life
[Music]
who think it's easy to build on a low
rider but it's not they think you just
put rims on it and roll it ain't that
it's about in the heart and it's about
ride you know what I'm saying low riding
is me I live to low ride and low ride
lives in me
cause we the oldest black club that I
know of in California
[Music]
but you know it's not like that
oh the future looks really bright for uh
low riding now the only thing that we
have to change is the perception that
the police have about us or the
community has about us there are people
that aren't interested in low riding
there are people that aren't interested
in hanging out that are being caught in
their behavior or it's a lifestyle just
the enjoyment of cruising we got enough
people with you and they all look good
you shine together
[Music]
to me a low rider is a car of romance
because when you're in your low rider
your cars just dip in and you got on
your low music and it's just cool
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
thank you
back in the 80s that's when blacks
really start really having a car looking
show material like you know what I'm
saying
great partner when he was really riding
it Mexicans had clean cars and he was
one of the guys that had cars cleaning
their Mexicans
he had a show material car on the street
so he was up there with them and that
gave people incentive to make their cars
better and gave other blacks and other
clubs especially in L.A the incentive to
ride you know what I'm saying to have
nice cars they see a black person can do
their car like a Mexican store that
means any other person can do their car
like this
like back in the day and I'm like not a
low riders you got now
their cars on leg like back in the days
when I had my car it laid foreign
the back bumper will be on the ground I
can put quarters underneath it with
nobody getting out and I wouldn't
wouldn't get nothing out from underneath
I wore all the size of the frame and
everything I just like I mean this car
lay hard and you know that was my Mo
from from Land you know land I used to
sit there and just lay it all the way
down and it just burned the tires I
always did I smoked the tires and I step
out and don't even put it in park and
just be cloud of smoke on inside the car
and the whole parking I smoked the whole
parking out everything that's how hard
it would lay you know that's laying
[Music]
people trip off and seeing a car going
on they see you're dipping and it looks
good see they don't nothing look good to
me exception with this laying flat on
the ground because I'm from you know the
old school you know and I'm low
foreign
when I was coming up it was how how how
low can you go now it's how hot can you
go
thank you
well I started doing hydraulics in 71
and I was doing it at home and really
from there on I've been doing it but
I've had to shop for three years now we
basically do everything here but it's on
the customer they bring enough money we
do everything they don't we only do what
they pay for
thank you
framework started about in uh 85 and the
reason why is because a lot of the guys
when they start advancing their
Hydraulics with more power the frames
start tweaking and going in
foreign
[Applause]
car you start off small but the thing is
now everybody want all the power and
they don't even be concerned about
knowing how to hit the switch they was
like I thought I learned I learned and
they tear them up over and over but they
keep coming back because they want to
learn but once they learn to get better
yeah
this is uh what we call frame
reinforcement right here is where we put
the metal in the center part this is
normally what goes out in the frame and
the frame goes in like this all this
stuff right here collapse and cracks up
so what we do we put metal inside of it
and around it and the reason why we do
the whole frame is because when you
strengthen it up in one area it makes
the rest of it weak around the outside
of it if you want to save your car this
is really what you need to do to it
[Music]
thank you the certain wheel and tell you
what year you've been low riding and
what kind of dry legs what kind of
paints they have you actually
[ __ ] the first wheel we had on
this car when he saw a low ride
[ __ ] say zeniths he'd been
around a while yeah and the
[ __ ] say big hubs and laces
he's been around longer [ __ ]
get back to craters and all that
shooting stuff yeah because true spokes
came after craters you know what I'm
saying when you get to going back like
that you know [ __ ] been around
right
[Music]
was one of the first major wheels that
expensive everybody wanted a table and a
lot of things happened over at Dayton
you know I'm saying fights killings you
might as well say
[Music]
they got to come from Ohio if it's not
from Ohio some people getting wheels
there's from you know probably La now
they got a lot of wheels that look just
like Dayton
I don't but they don't have the name his
day but if it don't have the name it's
dating I don't want it uh what's unique
about these rims that if you look at
them there's no lug nut time off we use
this lead Mallet and we hit the knockoff
a certain way and it'll loosen the rim
and that's how you take the rims off and
on
us as low riders as major players are
known low riders will always keep the
Dayton wheel
so uh
it costs a lot too I can
pay rent with that but anyway
[Music]
everything's in hurry nowadays A lot of
people they want their cars done like
right now today yesterday
so that way you know you can't really a
lot of the cars cure for a real good
paint job somebody that really loves
their car it's best to like let the car
cure for
it feels my car I would let it cure for
a year but I wouldn't recommend it any
any time for 30 60 days is good
but that way if it's cures real good
everything from the bottom is up and you
just got a nice hard paint sand it and
it's just gonna look beautiful but I got
a guy that comes in his name is Doc and
he comes in and do most of the design
stuff like that I can do them but that's
his thing a a plain Low Rider
just doesn't say anything you know see
in a way everybody needs a doctor
and uh
I'm just trying to put a Magic Touch to
the car you know bring out the flavor in
it
[Music]
[Music]
oh
you know you could paint a car and ride
down the street with a painting people
looking to say oh that's that's nice you
know but when they see designs like
that's sweet
see if I was doing from the other side I
could pull from here
[Music]
ah we'll start with this and see what
happens we're not right unless it has a
little touch of something
foreign
[Music]
on the ground like that that all the
designs say get down
[Music]
creative time
[Music]
[Music]
if you look at all the lines on the car
they all slope towards the ground
and that
accents get down
it makes the car
look lower and the designs
go with low
see and if I did a car that was up high
it would it would the designs would say
get up but these say get down it's all
about the way that you pull the tape you
know the creativity
something I've had in me all my life
I like to bring the UE into a paint job
because it's just a paint job it's just
ooh but when you see it with my designs
oh
best thing about low ride to me man is
just getting the project just getting
the car you know what I'm saying it
don't look like nothing you know what
I'm saying it just having a vision
because when I get every time I get a
car and I build a car you know as soon
as I see the car I have a vision of what
I wanted to look like how's you know
everything about it
thank you
[Music]
[Music]
each day through my window I watch her
as she passes by
because to me that when it's a finished
product this is better than a van Gogh
maybe you know it's gonna be my Prime
Joy right here we get
[Applause]
[Music]
to have a girl like I love fixing the
coral that's so important process fixing
it up too right you know but when when
the product is finished and you pull it
out the driveway and you wash it and
just Wax It For the First Time yourself
and clean everything cut the music on
and you just look at it you like damn
you know look at all these days you know
[Music]
it was just where imagination
[Music]
you know and once that Vision come
together and I put it together and it's
put it on the street and getting that
[ __ ] with just cut the oldies on
and just that [ __ ] just get to
dipping down the boulevard
I don't know that [ __ ] the only only
feeling better than this sex
you know what I'm saying and it's real
close to sex well that's real
[Music]
your dream
to
leave the Santana my one my homeboy
gangster called Gangster felt in his
heart that he needed to build something
you know to go to the show
something that Compton uh Manchester's
has never done
he was one of the first
and hope he's not one of the last that
uh had front page on the Lowrider
magazine he'd have done something to a
64 Chevy that nobody else has done
the Santana 64 is just an awesome car
building a car
and make it a number one throughout the
United States he did that the Santana
shows that
[Music]
the car is part of my neighborhood and
also part of the Majestic Car Club
[Music]
[Music]
thank you
foreign
you put it in your car it's like a
reward it's something that you deserve
and you got cause your car looks good
she gives it to you so you can roll now
this is for you so I feel when he roll
that that's the best thing in the world
you know what I'm saying
yeah
well you know we got a lot of Pride to
go with that bike you just can't put
that black in any car looking any kind
of way and you put that Majestic crack
in the back of your window you know you
can bet your last dollar your car gonna
be tight running good look good it
smells good you know everything is going
to be good about it
lowrider people look at the difference
then running your own car regular car
they didn't get you later you know you
might be a model to somebody else and
especially if you got a plague that
means a lot see a lot of people they
might see you in the low rider and it's
easier for them to say oh we're gonna
problem or something and then when they
see a plague they show his plate as soon
as that play
don't know
[Music]
really I think the best thing is to have
a plaque in your core to show that you
belong to some type of Club
you know different in a game club
[Music]
I got my original practice
I just like a lot of rich people they
got the fake jewelry they wear out
somewhere and they got their good jury
sitting in the safe still that's how my
plaque is I treasure that product I've
been had that platform
for many years my brother used to take
me to the Skate Depot all the time I was
about 16 but when we used to leave the
skating ring you it probably would be
maybe 10 cars out there you just see
that big old Majestic in the back
Majestic content to me it stood for
something I'm a Justice Compton that's
my whole dream of when I was little now
I'm 32 living on my dream
as being a majestic
[Music]
I only have good things to say I mean
all the people that I know in the club
they're good people I'm usually from
Friday to Sunday night rolling what we
call rolly and that is we get in our
cars and uh we're off to a picnic or a
barbecue or to help someone out or to
participate in a function get together
with other low riders and do things
together not only with our club but with
other people that are doing a low riding
thing since I've been in a majestic it
seemed like I met more friends than I
normally ever had so it's like you know
they're all cool it's like family that's
how I look at it's a big family
[Music]
I feel that there's a number of reasons
why I was invited to join the Majestics
one was because ever since I first met
gangster you know it's like we got along
like brother and sister type oh and
another reason could be because they
know that I don't like men I'm not after
the guys you know what I'm saying I'm
not trying to get up under them and use
my feminine Wilds if anything I'll
probably be out trying to get a girl you
know like them you know what I'm saying
[Music]
you know back in the day when you first
started low rides it was only basically
fine really you know what I'm saying car
clubs as far as you know blacks was
concerned because we the oldest black
club that I know of in California my
homeboy Turtle turned me on the low ride
back in here I think it was a 69 Lamaze
in front on uh 20s and crackers
you know what I'm saying this [ __ ] out I
love it you know what I'm saying what a
skating ring partner I wanted to be
hanging with the big guys
the reason why I got into Majestics is
because what we were trying to do was
bring all the community together you
know because it's like if we started car
club and we go to different areas our
neighborhoods with different gang
members are from if we could bring them
all together and then we can come
together like that you know try to bring
something to peace or and get away from
the streets just go low riding having
fun with the families and
you know just been doing things like
that
turn around who's got some ID
like when I started slow riding in the
Majestics you know what I'm saying we
were still gang banging you know what
I'm saying every everybody in the club
based you you know some sort of gang but
you know we had a few squares that
wasn't gang banging but I say 95 of us
you know was from a gang you know I have
some uh Santana block combo Crips first
uh Club I was in wasn't really the m
Santana block it don't stop you better
watch out it's an M1 carbine 32 rounds
I Can Go tab Lewis park with this I can
kill about 32 people if I hit them all
everything that's
hooked up to gang activity I think we've
did
and we've been in jail out of jail and
I think that's it about gang activity
unless you want me to explain you about
getting activity if you want nah we
might incriminate ourselves
I was over there on Willow Street me and
the homeboys turtle and rabbit all of us
was kicking over there by on Willow
Street over there by fat daddy house and
let me see when he's fixing On The Rise
and 20 guys outside
yeah about 20 of us outside Blues came
from behind the house shooting
and there's two twins they got that's me
and my brother you know twins at the
same time you know what I'm saying they
got me in the back and my brother in the
nose
I rode over on and caught them over
there by the tracks I shot at him and as
I was rolling back towards the uh
rolling back towards the hood the police
scooped on me and somebody up in the up
and uh up in uh
working on the telephone pole seeing him
where I threw the gun and they snagged
me with the gun to me to jail Captain
crap Santana blah and like our
neighborhood the Santana block we was
like family you know what I'm saying we
all kicked it like family we did what we
wanted to do we ate at the same time we
stayed out slept in cars still the same
time you know what I'm saying
you got so many stories on stealing cars
you know you could have your car blocked
in by two or three cars and your car
your low rider could be right by your
bedroom window laid on the ground and
your window could be open you know what
I'm saying and we still we were still in
the vehicle you know and uh we was
getting in the car and the guy started
shooting at us and we just said he's
shooting at us and just started laughing
we were just looking at him shoot at us
you know we started running when we came
back we even went back and messed with
the car again so we can shoot some more
wiping off
took a lot
[Music]
somebody gave that [ __ ]
you know we saw a little dope a little
PCP you know what I'm saying but you
know I went to jail in like uh in 82 I
went to ya right
and I got out like
it began in the 84. you know what I'm
saying and you know when I got out in
84. you know turtle and twin that was in
the penitentiary already

cocaine and [ __ ] you know what I'm
saying and you know [ __ ] he had his
jewelry on he was you know freshman like
you know [ __ ] ain't stealing no
more none of that [ __ ] you know what I'm
saying so I'm like [ __ ] it you know what
I'm saying I got to do my thing too so
you know one of my homeboys you know
what I'm saying
you know I ain't gonna mention this name
but you know he gave me like
three ounces of cocaine you know when I
got out he just gave it to me like here
you know do your thing and you know back
then you know what I'm saying I also
cocaine was going for like
like 1800
ounce
you know what I'm saying and you could
double it you know what I'm saying
selling rocks you can make like [ __ ] 3
600 off hours so [ __ ] 36 down three I'm
like [ __ ] I'm in the game right so I got
all that [ __ ] and I sold that [ __ ] you
know I went and bought more and more and
you know what I'm saying and then you
know
me and mondo just took one half just
buying [ __ ] and you know before you know
her [ __ ] we was like [ __ ] Porsches my
business
Cadillacs you know what I'm saying we
just you know the man balling out of
control we known gang members but we
don't we ain't into that no more yeah we
know you know
what man we all
were neighborhood
I'm saying but we not active remember
and a lot of people look at low riders
it's just a wild bunch of dope dealers
no gang bangers or just Street people
and we want to give them an image that
we more than that I mean that's where we
came from but we
we want a show better show that we are
not what people look us to be when we
have a new member join this car club the
first thing he used to understand is you
know gang banging evolved very first
time whatever he does with his personal
life has no reflection on the cosplay
that's his personal life so you know
it's like this if you gang banging and
out there doing something you ain't
supposed to be doing and you in the
Majestics that's mean you know you don't
care about us because you know because
you putting us on the front line with
you
you know so basically you know we don't
we don't do no gang not enough we don't
gang bang in the club
I think nowadays A lot of the guys older
guys are coming back I I think several
guys in our club uh basically are a
little bit older and they're back and
they're involved in it for their love of
it but for the fact that low riding
isn't associated with uh bad things
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Music]
oh
[Music]
hahaha
[Music]
we meet once a week every Saturday at
three o'clock to know if a Kevin's
hydraulic shop you know everybody pay
ten dollars a week for dudes
and I feel that we are a legitimate car
club we've been around over 25 years as
far as I'm concerned we just a car club
but no different from a damn Bowling
Club or you should be a member of at the
golf course golf club we just a club too
the only difference is we just slow
Riders tell Gabby come on so we start to
meet man get this out man let's go man
as a member of the Majestics I don't
affiliate with outside people because I
don't know where their head is on the
affiliate with my club Brothers which is
the Majestics I have connection with my
true brother
but these are my brothers too and I
spent more time with them than I do my
real brother it's hard to find a
[ __ ] to just dedicated to you
know what I'm saying being a majestic or
any car club because they got
[ __ ] I know [ __ ] that
have been in five six different car
clubs
you know me being in the car club is
like being in the gang you can't change
you know what I'm saying if I was to get
out the car club I wouldn't be in no car
club just hard to find that that true
dedication
you know what I'm saying I've been doing
it so long you know it's just like
second nature to me you know we really
getting tired of this when we go when we
supposed to ride on Sundays man you know
we supposed to leave at three o'clock
everybody coming at forward 3 30 and 5
o'clock by time out I'll meet you up
there you know what I'm saying that's
why we're leaving at three o'clock so
I'll give you enough time to recuperate
from Saturday or whatever if we're gonna
stop me nowhere and watch too we're
gonna start meeting right here at this
spot and taking off because you know
[ __ ] getting too comfortable I
think every Club has a different flavor
to it but I think we all have the same
love for showing our cars and competing
with other cars and showing the work and
effort that we put into it and the money
the way we represent ourselves to show
what we're doing in our life in in our
lifestyle is is by your car
Saturday if you want to throw a car or
something
for the fundraising for your help get
your car together yeah yeah I'm good I'm
down with that well everybody should be
down with her I know where to get a
front end at
[Music]
giving the car wash here today because
uh I had accident on my car so uh the
club members is helping me get my car
together I got a 68 Chevy just like this
one hopefully when I get it done it'd be
just as clean as this one you know twin
Nae Nae yeah
have you ever seen any other club loan
money to help get a car you know what
I'm saying we give them that kind of
action
[Music]
for the way they get their money
but the average [ __ ] old car
club got a nine to five job you know
what I'm saying work every day trying to
do the right thing and taking care of
their family
[Music]
you see people like me
they out here I hope they stay out here
all day so I can get enough money to fix
my car
[Applause]
[Music]
so next Saturday man I'm gonna be in
this uh
yeah
my boy AC the vice president he's the
vice president
it's on the 19th I'm gonna tell y'all
fellas man it's mandatory
[Music]
I was speaking earlier about a
[ __ ] that was dedicated to them
Majestic to the fullest and more
[ __ ] is like AC man we all club
would be unstoppable
drill team that's something that my
homie AC and his wife Jenny Miller do
you know the story in the project says
you know it's a lot of young girls
around there you know that really don't
have nothing to do ain't got nobody to
look up to you know been physically
abused and you know things like that you
know so they want to you know get them
some kind of activity you know suddenly
they can belong to
well we're trying to do something with
the kids in the community to try to you
know be there for them and help them do
better things things that we didn't get
a chance to do
but the new league team they real cool I
like watching them new guys
[Music]
my speech is like holding two blocks
apiece the Outreach That Rock Police the
super Avengers Infinity
[Music]
as far as you know I'm concerned being
Majestic means something to me you know
I mean a lot to me
the man is love you know what I'm saying
I love being a majestic you know what
I'm saying I love it you know just like
you know when I was gang banging I loved
gang banging I was serious about gang
banging just like that is yours being a
majestic don't nothing come closer to
that but my family you know
I think it's more fun to be with a group
of people
um when we're going somewhere to be with
5 10 15 20 cars going down the road
exciting
[Music]
we're running together it's the last
safety first of all
you will know taking a big chance
because it's so very easy to be jacked
for your caller by yourself because you
have no way of looking completely all
the way around you but if you wrote it
play club with members it's much safer
because there's less of a chance of
somebody trying to take your car or you
got six or seven or maybe more acquires
with this one car guy walked up to me
asking me what time it was
stuck the gun in my head I said whatever
he wants you can have it he say move
over and I have my little son at the
time I ate my third son and uh
I actually threw him out of the car
because the one bullet would have killed
him
anything could occur in this day and
time so out of safety
for yourself is best to ride in the unit
it's never safe to ride along and even
if you do Ride Along you should always
have one or two passengers with you at
all times and it's not best to stop
completely after like in case you have
to take off from somebody coming to your
car unexpectedly
he said he gonna kill me I said well you
gotta you gotta kill me so he first
really shot me right in the chin and
then I stepped out of the car he just
unloaded the gun on me
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
so nobody never tried to call Jackman
most of the time I enjoyed just rolling
by myself anyway
you know ain't nothing like letting the
top down she's cutting out his own just
cruising out just rolling you know what
I'm saying
you know but now you know it ain't no
different now from then it's supposed to
call Jack and go they was taking cars
then matter of fact I was one of them
back there taking Thorns into even get
the car but uh
and then uh
I got shot like six seven times
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
Chris show is a spot man you know we've
been hanging out on Chris yo you know
what I'm saying since the end of the 70s
you know
cruising Crenshaw or hanging out on
Crenshaw it's being with your peers
people who feel the same way you do
about their cars it's a place where you
can compete or get ideas about what you
want to do to your car who has a good
car who has a car that hops high it's
just a meeting place
[Music]
it's just a show rolling on the street
that's all a show car show on the street
with you don't have to pay
[Music]
I like Crenshaw
I'm a married man but I like Crenshaw
because of the scenery we got the cars
you got the girls that's a big thing I
just think it's a spot
[Music]
you know what's happening on the show
females that's all that's out there I
mean I go out there to see other cars
and hope she's not listening my girl
other girls also you know looking but
don't touch you know that kind of thing
you know as long as you come home that's
the best thing in the world
[Music]
you know I put a lot of work into my
cars you know
the hard work I don't wanna you know put
all that work into them and then just
lock them up in the garage basically
every time I take it out I plan on at
least spending 100 from 100 to 300 to
get it fixed you know I want somebody to
see them I want them to say damn that
car clean you know I don't want my
recognition
truly is your life I mean you go to work
and you come home and uh you're you're
your goal is to get this card or to do
this to your car and you can't wait for
the weekend to get together with other
guys and go do your things
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
let me see what else about this show oh
I don't like the police out there I mean
when you I can understand somebody out
there shooting and all that kind of
thing but
it ain't been that it ain't been no
killings uh nobody trying to take no car
so when it's like that I think they
should leave us alone
it's a hard time
because they are fighting the last war
it happens sometimes they're fighting a
war that uh you know from back in the
mid 80s when everybody that drove a low
rider had a gun or something in their
car or you know didn't have a job or I
think there was a time when basically if
you drove a low rider you were
associated with that kind of thing
because you know back in the 80s it was
weird was really Wilder back then
because that's when everybody was gang
banging you know right now everybody
trying to kick it and whatever and just
relax and ain't nothing even going on
yeah in the 80s tonight and early 90s
Crenshaw Boulevard was out of control
but we had a couple of shootings where
in fact we had a couple of killings that
we associate to the to the cruising
activity you know the police they make
it look like
basically the lowriders don't never get
into nothing because everybody know each
other and they respected that you know
what I'm saying they leave that [ __ ]
for when they ain't low riding if they
still gang bang there have been violent
crimes as well as a whole host of
misdemeanor crimes vandalisms different
types of batteries we have recovered
just a number of guns you add the
alcohol you add the the aggression of
some of these folks and keep in mind
we're talking about gang members or
ex-gang members or just some people that
just show up and want to cause problems
and they know that this is a large crowd
where that can happen
foreign foreign
[Applause]
[Applause]
with another car to see how high you can
you can out jump it
certainly when you have a contest like
that I imagine there's probably been
more than one or two disputes about who
the winner was
a win yeah
um
some of the guys on Chris are guys that
couldn't get along five years ago but
now that we all low riding it whatever
that happens we got
[Music]
we're writing a lot of traffic citations
for those people that commit traffic
violations uh we do have our gang our
crash officers on the boulevard
investigating a gang activity when it
occurs and so just
having a more visible police presence
has been pretty effective
your cooperation is greatly appreciated
I think that you they see us as easy
prey they know that having hydraulics in
your car is a ticket and anything to get
after that is uh gravy so what they're
doing now as opposed to harassments
physically they're trying to do it
economically when you see them driving
up and down the street in these cars
making them go up and down it it
distracts their visual perspective of
the road plus their ability to be able
to control the car and then plus because
of the the stress that's placed on the
vehicle many times it can cause the car
to malfunction we've seen cars lose
tires and go out of control so it's
basically an unsafe vehicle you know
really all they doing is wasting their
time when they can be out there trying
to catch some murders and rapists and
thieves and still they out there giving
us [ __ ] traffic tickets I think the
unfortunate thing and it's a perceptual
issue obviously gangster and the people
that drive these cars they don't they
don't believe and you probably not get
them to believe that they're causing
problems
[Music]
they got a special task force just on
Sundays for low ride
you know what I'm saying that's a waste
of taxpayers money
they need a special task force just for
catching some damn criminals you know
instead of trying to sweat somebody for
a damn hydraulic ticket or tires too
small ticket you know they trying to
make this situation explosive
muscle Los Angeles Police Department
you're under arrest yeah you don't need
a ticket to go to Crenshaw I mean it's
supposed to be public free
this is America you should be able to go
where you want to go I understand how
the police feel they out there
they think that it's going to be drama
because sometimes you have that so I can
understand how they feel but
they gotta also try to understand how we
feel if you shut it down then you
shutting it down for stuff to happen I
mean you know if we don't have nothing
to do or know where to go that what else
do you do you go back to your old ways
and if that's gang banging and doing
whatever that's what you get but on
Sundays that basically on Crenshaw I
think that give you a whole new way of
life I ain't know you know the store no
trouble you know I ain't looking for no
trouble I ain't out to [ __ ] with nobody
I Just Wanna you know do my thing you
know just leave me alone let me do my
time let me be happy you know
that's all well I would suggest a
gangster to go anywhere other than
Crenshaw Boulevard all I want to do is
low ride you know and gig it enjoy my
family live my life you know just have a
good time you know that's all I want to
do
18 people are under arrest at a major
drug ring has been busted after a sweep
