Crip Mac
🕑 Added 2021-11-17 23:27:18 +0000 UTCIn this episode we traveled to 55th and Denker in Los Angeles to meet with gang member and local celebrity Crip Mac. Things took an unexpected turn when Cmac insisted he demonstrate a gang initiation on Nic--who now goes by the name Dynamite Blue.
Cmac goes on to describe the psychology of gang banging, his affinity for "big booty bluetiful sitches," and the importance of giving back to your community, especially the homeless.
As things were wrapping up on 55th and Denker we caught wind of a nearby Slipknot concert and asked Cmac if he wanted to tag along.
<3 Enjoy,
--Andrew, Evan, Dynamite

Nic lied. He been put on by Tru.

Watching and rewatching yalls videos truly reminds me that i cant give up and that, at the very least I have to keep going until yall come thru on tour. Until then, I will remember crip mac's words, and not kms.
Too Many Gluggers
Can we start a kick starter to get crip Macs tattos re done by a professional this man has gave us all joy let's keep it 55th street and hook a man up
I literally joined for this video. Thank you for treating everybody like there important, you guys have really changes some peoples lives out here!!!
Thomas Minarchick Jr
Is Nick officially a 55th Street Crip? Either way, please get him to learn and do the Crip walking dance
I really think Crip Mac should start bringing him and his squad to the barber shoppe or to like custom business clothing stores when they ask him to. Imagine CM cleaned up with a new pair of slacks? Dang!
idk if anyone has noticed but theres 2 different version of crip mac. the one here is edited slightly different than the one on youtube. ive only noticed 2 differences and i will list them below, if anyone else notices more please add to it. 1. On Patreon version Nick says "ive never been put on, but it seems worth it" this is excluded from YT. 2. On Youtube the " cactus jack logo" guy gets told by crip mac to "ok get up out of here" this is for some reason excluded from patreon. that is all.

Ken
Big RIP to homies Travis Scott tattoo
Y’all really took this beautiful chocolate man to a slip knot concert and had him interview people 🤣 I love it, he is definitely more cultured now
i actually really love crip mac would love to speak to him someday heart of gold but the fury of a beast trying to get by in life as someone who deals with thoughts of suicide and suicide of a family member i really get and stand behind his message god bless you sir i would shake your hand if i could

What a difference in the first half vs the second half. We need more journalism like this. Uncovering the multi-faceted aspects of Americans and it's events. Not just the goofy shit.
this just escalated in the best way possible, what a legend.
that fly got 55thed
This has got to be the coolest crip in the world
Nicholas Deal
how often does he accidentally say 4 ?
Lilith Levisis
amazing
Like five feet closer.
That man is incredible. Thank you.
Andrew Feminella
im gonna guess Crip Mac got a personal reason for being anti-suicide. this man is seriously a blessing to his community
Gibson Bailey
Aye homie what’s the song that kid was rapping on merch drop 2 shit was fiiiiiiire
Fredz
Wow, Crip Mac makes Channel 5 peak up to the atmosphere. There`s so many layers of good, funny, high quality stuff in this clip. Absolutely love it!
This was more emotional than one would’ve expected
I need a Crip Mac movie
Tyler
God Cless crip Mac 💙
Kamal Ortiz
K*lling yourself is some custer shit!! Nah I'm playing I'm glad you made it through, man, for real.
That man’s Travis Scott tattoo aged like milk
MySelf69
def checking out
C Gavs
I know someone really wacky that could definitely make for a good video. He calls himself Snatgod and is obsessed with the word he made up called Snat and Snatnin. He’s as eccentric as you can get. Check out his YouTube channel Snatgod for some of his antics and latest music video. I sent you guys a Patreon message awhile ago detailing all about him.
This was amazing
What a legend
Blake W. Morris
You a custer
Blake W. Morris
He’s like 55th Street’s Mr. T
Blake W. Morris
That is a good man. As someone that has struggled with thoughts of suic*de, I wish I had him in my life earlier.
J Smo
Man, Imma keep it 55th street from now on.

The Oblivion background music was a beautiful touch.
Why the hell is the YouTube version longer ?! Why am I paying for this bs
Henri Carlson
I feel it’s safe to say that Crip Mac keeps it 55th street
James FlorCruz
I've reached a new plateau with this viewing
The shot of Crip Mac aggressively - but nicely - rapping at the Slipknot fan while Andrew stood motionless to the side, gazing at her expectantly …. Unbelievably funny
Ryan
This was beautiful
Rad Llama
I could have witnessed this?! Damn just missed Channel 5 and 55th at Slipknot
My weed pen just died and I reached into the pocket in the backseat and it was a blue cord now I’m believing this is divine intervention on Crip
I was just watching this while driving had to get gas pulled up at the fifth pump without noticing walked in put 55 on the tank (out of respect) on crip you 5 me
I believe it's "citches"
Clyde Cash

Gaz
This was pretty dope, but i'm gonna keep it 55thhhh st Andrew's a massive custer.
how does he speak so eloquently and how do I understand him so well... The way he speaks is like clockwork orange but less annoying and more legible.
Charles Newton
Any idea why CripMac REALLY doesn't want people to commit suicide?
zack pennachi
Catching America being America in such an authentic way. 🔥

cmac prob gets a bad rap but dude is not bad at rap
Holy shit this was one of the best videos you guys have ever made, the content just keeps getting better keep it up
channel 5 brings out empathy in corny but somehow authentic genuine way. i think its the connection between the audience and these often overlooked people that channel 5 fosters is the real magic behind this show that's why I wasn't the biggest fan of the previous video it lacked that human connection. but overall great stuff you're well on your way hopefully the world doesn't collapse before you peak.

Y U GONNA DO MAC WITH OBLIVION MUSIC, on 55th. Slipknot was an unexpected and entertaining "hardcore" dichotomy

that was the first true chuckle Andrew has had in a while and its sad it was with Crip Mac dunno how to feel anyway thanks for discovering CM to me love him already
Jason Gardinier
And just like that, another classic. Insight into communities that are largely misunderstood / unheard while simultaneously being stupidly entertaining. Makes me feel like I could relate to people I wouldn't expect to. No one else is anywhere close to what ya'll are producing. Fuck yes.
This video made me tear up for real, its fuckin incredible to see the most unlikely and unique people spread love and compassion. thank you channel 5 for keeping my small feeble mind open
fleshmetal
real shit how much money do I have to pay to get that fire channel 5 windbreaker dynamite blue is wearing
Swaggypeepaw
It actually does have a point in communities that have been forgotten in America. It looked like the only people there to do anything at all to help the crisis of homelessness in Skid Row were crips or at least wearing blue. When we talk about failures of institutions, those failures have became institutions in themselves.
It took me a minute to understand why he said everything will see(C) alright Quality content right here!
Crip Mac you're a true community man - Everythang gunna C ight.
Joe King
Who is part of a gang anymore these days? It's so fucking pointless.
This is definitely one of the top videos 😂😂 you should’ve let him do the whole interview lmao

Much love everyone! On hood

Cmac is eccentric for sure. Yet on his YouTube channel he also explains how he has diagnosed but untreated schizophrenia (hears voices, paranoid), bipolar, and has outbursts of explosive anger. That's what he means when he says his grandma knew he was "crazy" since he was 10 or 12.He explains the medications make him feel dull and that's a liability in the streets, so he doesn't use it. He's pretty earnest and self aware about it, which is impressive. Hopefully this all ends well for him. I just hope Channel 5 doesn't make characters out of people on account of their mental illness (cmac , perhaps Kelly j Patriot?). You five me? Aw what am I sayin. Nifty Nicc aint no custer. He'll keep it 55th street. Have a bluetiful day 😎
