LAist: Why We Bang

August 7, 2006

Why We Bang

We try every night to present a video under five minutes of interest, and tonight's is about gangbanging in our fair city. It doesn't really answer a lot of questions, but it might be a good way to get the conversation started. Because like one of the graphics says, this is a movie coming to your hood soon.

That's just a stupid music video. These are the most inarticulate dudes on earth, who have no idea what bangin means, if it has any meaning in the end. I don't know what they are supposed to represent to themselves or the viewers about all them folks who got bodied in South LA. C'mon laist, don't try to be street.

yeah that's great. give your back for the 'hood. fuck, it's hard to even think of a more stupid thing to waste your life on than a few blocks of urban sprawl that you don't even own. human race is fucked. forget going to hell, all that bull for the seriously feeble-minded; we're there, we're in it, it's here, now.

seriously, what the hell does gangbanging really mean, except acting and talking like a complete fucking moron, having no future and loooking for a gun fight.

these people are seriously fucking stupid.

why would the cops even bother? let them shoot eachother and be done with it.
