Obviously it's A and B, 968 00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:27,600 Speaker 8: but you can see everybody's imprison inside of it. And 969 00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:29,319 Speaker 8: I would imagine when we go to there, it's it's 970 00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:29,920 Speaker 8: pretty much the. 971 00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,400 Speaker 5: Same thing that where did that level of of selflessness 972 00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:32,799 Speaker 5: come from? 973 00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:36,080 Speaker 9: Amongst y'all? The goal was just for that because you know, 974 00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:42,200 Speaker 9: the LA culture is kind of like uh, segregated from 975 00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,680 Speaker 9: gangs MM. So you you know, you got guys that 976 00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 9: like like me that come from crunch on slosson, and 977 00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:50,640 Speaker 9: then you'll have guys that come from another area that 978 00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:54,520 Speaker 9: won't necessarily come on this side MM to purchase, to 979 00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:58,600 Speaker 9: buy anything. So that's why we use platforms like this 980 00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:03,040 Speaker 9: to let everybody know. Everybody is welcome everybody. It don't 981 00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:05,520 Speaker 9: matter where you're from, who you are. So we're trying 982 00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:09,360 Speaker 9: to bridge the gap from from from the gang violence, 983 00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,880 Speaker 9: the gang culture and and let everybody see that we 984 00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,719 Speaker 9: actually we can bridge it. Everybody can come together. That's 985 00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:18,520 Speaker 9: why you've seen guys like n C and y G 986 00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:23,520 Speaker 9: together and that and that actually works. You know, they 987 00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,799 Speaker 9: stop a lot of things, you know, and it just 988 00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:26,880 Speaker 9: creates a different narrative. 989 00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:28,280 Speaker 4: Business has no boundaries. 990 00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:37,560 Speaker 9: Brother Dave, how you doing there? Oh for sure, that's 991 00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:40,520 Speaker 9: that's a that's a good thing. 992 00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:41,640 Speaker 4: It's good. 993 00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:43,840 Speaker 9: Should have even told. 994 00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:48,520 Speaker 3: To switch on cars. It's good that I'm good man. 995 00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:50,200 Speaker 3: You got a couple of words for the camera. 996 00:46:54,480 --> 00:47:02,759 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's beautiful. So all art comes from fans. 997 00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:06,960 Speaker 9: It's fan based art, and we uh, you know, we 998 00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:08,960 Speaker 9: give him a plateau, We give you, a platform for 999 00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,280 Speaker 9: you for your art.

So the 1276 01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:56,120 Speaker 14: brand is a representation of the area and it's about 1277 01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:59,960 Speaker 14: uh gentrification and anti gentrification for us to hold on 1278 01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:03,160 Speaker 14: to our homes. So within the brand that I've been 1279 01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:06,120 Speaker 14: doing for ten years, we've been promoting the area. We've 1280 01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:09,000 Speaker 14: been promoting uh black wealth and letting the. 1281 01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:10,200 Speaker 4: Road know about it. 1282 01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:12,720 Speaker 14: So we've had a billboard on Slatting and over Hill, 1283 01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:15,640 Speaker 14: which is one of the streets on the shirt, and 1284 01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:18,440 Speaker 14: it's taken off like it's been in the movie you 1285 01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:21,320 Speaker 14: people je Egos videos and. 1286 01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:23,680 Speaker 3: The bill boy the billboard. It's so crazy that you 1287 01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:27,200 Speaker 3: said that, because we interviewed our people at Hilltop Coffee 1288 01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:30,160 Speaker 3: and they was, I think they're building a coffee shop 1289 01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:32,400 Speaker 3: around here, but. 1290 01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:45,640 Speaker 15: They're forever on the billboard. 1291 01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:58,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, but they told me about that stat as far 1292 01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:01,840 Speaker 3: as being, you know, a pretty wealthy neighborhood for black 1293 01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:03,960 Speaker 3: and now something I didn't know. I wasn't aware of that. 1294 01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:05,400 Speaker 3: So that's interesting to know that. 1295 01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,200 Speaker 14: So before like black people or any person of color 1296 01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:11,480 Speaker 14: was over here, there are racial restrictive covenants. So on 1297 01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:15,920 Speaker 14: your titles it basically said do not sell to any 1298 01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:18,920 Speaker 14: black person. Some people still have those things. So once 1299 01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:22,800 Speaker 14: the Brown versus Board everything went through. With that, black 1300 01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:25,680 Speaker 14: people started moving over here, White people moved out. This 1301 01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:29,720 Speaker 14: area turned into ninety percent black, and it stayed like 1302 01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:32,640 Speaker 14: that for very long time. Now, with the train and 1303 01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:34,400 Speaker 14: everything coming in, a lot of people are trying to 1304 01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:35,600 Speaker 14: move back in and. 1305 01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:37,080 Speaker 3: Change the area. 1306 01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:41,000 Speaker 14: So our thing is about holding it down, making sure 1307 01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:44,160 Speaker 14: that people know that this is our area, because there's 1308 01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:47,560 Speaker 14: no area in America called black anything, you know, so 1309 01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:50,960 Speaker 14: black Beverly Hills is a nickname for it, but you know. 1310 01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:51,840 Speaker 3: That stands for wealth. 1311 01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:54,160 Speaker 4: How's the process been, you said, people are trying to 1312 01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:56,760 Speaker 4: come back. Obviously, sometimes when you try to come back. 1313 01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:59,800 Speaker 5: You get priced out right, But there's you know, we 1314 01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:01,360 Speaker 5: could play a role in that making sure that we. 1315 01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:03,560 Speaker 4: Never sell if we have it. But what's what's that 1316 01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:05,640 Speaker 4: process been like as far as real estate? Here, people 1317 01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:06,840 Speaker 4: trying to come back to the neighborhood. 1318 01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:09,760 Speaker 9: They coming, they coming in and that's and that's what 1319 01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:14,200 Speaker 9: we use guys like Day for and these platforms to 1320 01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:18,040 Speaker 9: get all of us to buy.
