Just couple of miles from shining lights of Beverly Hills, glamorous beaches of Santa Monica and glass skyscrapers of Downtown LA lies another reality of Los Angeles: Compton. Maybe the most dangerous neighbourhood of entire US. Remember Training Day of Denzel Washington-it was all in Compton. Or Boyz n da hood? Tupac and all these gangs? Compton is the birthplace of LA rap culture. Compton is a reality, I- as a SoCal resident-posted all these glamorous sides of LA with its beauty. But I also do not deny that Compton is LA. I am not ashamed of that and I will not hide it from anyone else. All the SoCal friends, I am sure some might hate me that I put these pictures but I think this site should also show the real and da hood of LA.

City info:
The City of Compton is located along the Alameda Corridor, which travels through historically, one of the nation’s largest manufacturing center. The Alameda Corridor is a passageway for 25 percent of all U.S. water borne international trade. It connects the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles to the Los Angeles and the nation’s major interstate highway system.

Enjoy Compton (and try to find people on the streets):

Of course I am serious, after having seen some of the poor neighborhoods of Other cities (which I won't mention here) where the buildings literally collapsed by their own weight, South Central LA starts to look tame in comparison.
Don't get me wrong there is a lot of blight in south central but not even near to the level you will see in some rust belt cities.

Believe me , there are a lot places in America that look a lot worse than compton.

Those are some tall power line poles! :D


Actually..the area does not look that bad. The people there might not be too nice..but it does not look that bad!

YES, YES !!!!! I would say thay are at least 15 to 20 mts tall!!! :eek:

That's almost like a skyscraper! :eek:


Powerline skyscraper around here! ;)

The pictures of Compton looks like pockets of the near eastside of Indianapolis. Although not as notorious sounding as Compton is, the near eastside has problems too; but you'll find alot of "mom-and-pop" type of businesses like in those pics.

OMG..........los angeles has some of the prettiest ghetto's i've ever seen. quaint little villas with terra cotta roofs and well manicured square lawns...hehehe.

Now THIS is the ghetto of the city i live in.

I wholeheartedly agree. The good needs to be shown as well as the bad.

I agree with some others here, though, that it doesn't look all that bad. Willrusso's pics are more like the 'hood I'm used to seeing on the East Coast and Midwest cities.

Robert Taylor Homes

On the South Side...just look at the burned out apartments. Many children have died from falling out of a window or being pushed out playing with other children.

Located on the Near North Side and this neighborhood can be seen in great detail in the film "Candyman".

Wish we could move those rowhouses to Toronto. They'd go for a lot of money up here. Fixed up of course. What a shame.

Couple of things.

Los Angeles does have some burnt down buildings, most are remains of the '92 riots. For the most part, the city is newer than most the east and midwest, so the decay isn't as prominent. Compton does however have this open air vulnerability to it that makes it feel just as bad. It's like you're in this huge never ending world.

Also, hundreds of children have not died falling out of Chicago projects, nor adults. And Cabrini Green is on the North Side, minutes walking distance from the Gold Coast.

Thank you for the correction. It is on the Near North Side neighborhood.

On that thought, Cabrini Green is 80% torn down, and almost all the Robert Taylor Homes highrises have been demolished (4 of the origional 28 still are standing). Those pics above are from 1996.


Coming soon... mixed use condos and townhomes.


The same fate is meeting all project housing in Chicago, except for the Hilliard Homes, which are landmarked, and plans are being drawn up for a condo conversion. http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=116787

That is true. Cabrini Green came down some years ago. I watched a film documenting the entire process in my Housing Policy class this past fall. I'm not sure about the timeline of Robert Taylor, but I believe the demolition and rebuilding process is well-underway there as well. Chicago has long been the laboratory for housing programs. I believe Cabrini Green was one of the first HOPE VI projects.

I'm always amazed by how low density LA is around Compton, South Central, Inglewood, etc. Really everything along that strip between USC and Long Beach is very low-to-the-ground and sprawly. It seems that the most high-density sections of LA county are the most tony; an exact reverse of the typical East Coast phenomena.

The mom-and-pops are really nice to see though.

Don't Glorify that Gang shit.... It is only wasted human capital ...It's sad to see.

Poverty sucks...I hate the culture of poverty...that what this gang shit is...It's a sappy nasty subculture of wasted humans.

On a another note.....Year after year Compton is less and less Black and more and more recent latino immigrants..(pi is arouind 65% latino and growing).

Tensions run high....some of the most racist individuals that I have ever met where the old "Creole" ( read-whitish blacks) Political Elite from Compton that hated all these recent latino arrivals...some of their comments would may a grand dragon of the KKK's skin curl.

Wow, I didn' realize that Compton doesn't really look that bad

Yeah, the 'jungles' in Compton and South Central don't really look that bad either, but you don't ever wanna go there, EVER!!! Don't let the palm trees fool you. Ever seen Training Day?

Years ago a white family I believe got lost in one of those hoods and never made it out alive. They were gunned down only because they were outsiders. Even cops are afraid to go there.

gimme some info

how many of the population is black?
whats the murder rate?
whats the total population?
how many white's?
etc etc

Whites in Compton?? Hah!

Oh wait I think I may have seen a white homeless guy pushing a shopping cart on Compton Blvd once.

Mostly Brown and Black.

I see some "nice" neighborhoods of other cities that look uglier than Compton. Those cities with all those brick neighborhoods, so dreary. But let's face it Compton RULES!!! It gave birth to rap as we know it today! Before NWA, rap was filled with losers like Young MC and Will Smith. Dr. Dre and Snoop gave it its edge which everyone in the world loves today! You wouldn't even have a Nortorious BIG or Puff Daddy had it not been for Dr. Dre changing the face of rap. That's LA for you!!!!!

Perhaps it was how you worded it, but just to clarify the jungle is not in Compton, but on the west side of LA. It quite a ways from where Compton is, and its a fairly dense neighborhood of nothing but apartments. The area is built on the side of a hill just below the upscale Baldwin Hills/View Park area. You can tell that the jungle was probably a middle up slighly upper middle class community of apartments. They are the largest sized apartments I've ever seen in a now mostly poor area. Normally lower income housing unit are small in square footage. They usually don't have swimming pools which many of them do. Plus looking at the other areas around there, you can see some really crafty looking homes, and beautiful designed apartment buildings. Again thats not typical when a developer is building for lower income, or affordable housing.

Oh and the incident you mentioned about the white family didn't happen no where near Compton. It was in any area several miles northeast of downtown LA. It was in a latino neighborhood, and the family was lost (so they said) and went down a dead end street which was known for a certain gang hang out. It was dark from what I remember and I think they said the gang member probably thought it was a rival gang trying to do a drive by. Still its not excuse for this horrific action, but I figured I clarify what I remember about the case :)

How bout people get an education so they dont need government housing .... secondly why the hell should poor people have an excuse for killing eachother and inflicting violence...all of this ghetto "lookin cool" crap makes no sence to me. And I am not rich either, I just think people have some distorted images right now.

That's an LA slum? It's so clean! Even parts of Sydney look worse than that!

i say the same.. i know compton is known for it's gangs etc.. it a rough area..

but i thought it would look worse than this..
Has compton got worse (crimes) the last 10 years? is it still like the "boyz n the hood" movie?

Or is it better nowadays?

Chino : thanx for the info

Has anyone thought that the media might exaggerate the amount of bad crap that happens in these neighbourhoods? Watching bowling for columbine.

This is one city that L.A. can live without!! It gives L.A. such a bad reputation!!! GGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bash:

Has anyone thought that the media might exaggerate the amount of bad crap that happens in these neighbourhoods? Watching bowling for columbine.

actually, its even worse than they make it sound.....just look at the murder rates in COMPTON. its always around 50 or more murders a year. thats alot for a city of around 100,000..... yeah LA does have some of the nicest LOOKING ghettos in the US. but the murder rate dont lie. and its not just COMPTONE.its alot of areas in LA and other LA cities that have these gang problems.

Ward Lane Compton Crips-small little hood that is KNOWN FOR NOT BEING SO DANGEROUS.

The cover story of this month's Los Angeles magazine is about mayor Hahn and the upcoming mayoral race in March of next year. In the first part of the article, Hahn talks about there being Safe LA and Unsafe LA and that this is the biggest division between the people in the city and how it is his vision for the city to make all of LA safe (since many detractors have accused him of having little civic vision). It might be an interesting read for some of you.

I think he's definitely picked up on a problem, but I think it's difficult to really tackle this problem at the city level as mayor since so much of the "Unsafe LA" area is not actually within the LA city limits - I mean, if Hahn had had his way and gotten an additional 1000 police officers, South LA would improve somewhat, but the violence would still keep spilling in from outside.

not all of those gangs are so active like they once were. some of those are compelty gone by now.

im from southern cali.what do you expect? LOL..my mind is filled with useless gang infos. you think im creepy, just check out the gang experts at streetgangs.com!

From stories that I've heard these places weren't bad till the heroin addiction started in and around the 60s. Can anyone confirm/deny that?

Yes Compton was once a nice middleclass black community with promise. The city still has nice size corridor of light industry businesses along the 91 fwy, and it aint run down looking, but very clean. The city needs a lot of work, but it doesn't have the appearance of a Gary, Indiana, or East St Louis, its far from that. Yet still there are areas that the average person would know its not the best place to be.

its a nice looking gangland

I'm applying for an education job and they might place me at Compton or Santa Ana, but I'm looking at Compton because it might look better on my grad school resumes.

Question: does anyone know about a way to get to Compton from OC? I'm totally unfamiliar with Metrolink and I'm not driving.

metrolink goes up to downtown LA. YOu could probably take the bus down to compton. look at the mta website and metrolink site.


Compton is still gang capital of LA. But south central overall is going through a sort of "revitalization" where a lot of the neighborhoods are becoming gentrified and safer/richer. Sof if south central can go through it, COmpton still has a chance if gentrification goes that far. Not a fan of gentrification, but rather that than crime.

I know about Compton a little bit. It was bigger gangs problem, high crime rate, illegal immigrant and illegal drugs. Crime rate in Compton was fallen from late 1990s. Compton have alot loss of African American population then this city will go into complete more Hispanic. I hope that, Compton maybe improve city if 90% or more was Hispanic.

yeah Compton is bad, but so is Santa Ana.

Crime rate in Santa Ana was low and best city to live than Compton.

Education maybe be bad.

Compton isn't all that bad, like everyone says. I mean, people in Compton are just like everybody else. But man they got some good lookin houses in Compton! Ride the Blue Line north from the Del Amo station or more south, right before the Artesia station you see some nice lookin houses! I'd say that most of the time these west coast rappers(*cough* The Game from G-Unit!!! *cough)be lyin about how hard their areas are. It ain't that bad, c'mon now.

Just couple of miles from shining lights of Beverly Hills, glamorous beaches of Santa Monica and glass skyscrapers of Downtown LA lies another reality of Los Angeles: Compton.

TRAINING DAY was shot everywhere in L.A.: South Central (Crenshaw District, Central Ave...), Watts (Imperial Courts), Lower Baldwin Hills (a.k.a. the Jungle)... but not Compton... :)
BOYZ N THE HOOD was shot in Inglewood (at the "Bottoms", Crenshaw Mafia Gangsters' turf) and South Central (Tre's house was on Cimarron St, near 59th St)... but not Compton... :)
Even when Furious, Tre and Rick said to be in Compton, I doubt that was the place; if you pay attention to the street sign you can read W 27th St and the Compton's streets go from 127th to 166th...
Anyway, I've been in Compton in 1999 and 2001 and there were persons all around the streets, at least in the shopping area near the Metro Station... LOL

The L.A. autorithies got tired of hearing about the infamous "Jungle", so - because the Baldwin Hills proximity - they begun to call it "Lower Baldwin Hills" or "Baldwin Village", just to requalify that area, which goes from Rodeo/Coliseum (N) to the start of Baldwin Hills (S) between La Brea (W) and Marlton/Crenshaw (E).

You don't see any crumbling building like you see in the adjoining South Central for example.
Of course all those palm trees and paintstaking lawns have not to distract you... :)
That's what I've got in my mind.
I took a look at the spot by bus and even strolled about the back of the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza, on Marlton Ave and Santa Rosalia Drive.

Yeah riiight. Crime was practically eliminated in cities like Huntington Park, South Gate, Santa Ana, etc. once they became 90% hispanic.

It's ok.

I'm feel more safer in Crenshaw and maybe Baldwin Hills. I have great time to talk with deaf group in Crenshaw because my black's friend from CSDR live in Crenshaw. He loves Elements (Skateboard) and Pacific Sunwear.

Crenshaw Boulevard is full of history.
A lot of movies was shot on location over there.
The strip is the spot you ought to check; it goes from Exposition Blvd (N) to Vernon Av (S), but you can even go on southbound till Slauson Av.
Don't forget to visit the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza shopping mall.
Hey, how d'you feel about opening a "CRENSHAW DISTRICT / LEIMERT PARK" thread? :)
We can't continue like that... :)

When I was visiting LA in '01, my Sister and I went for a drive (She lived in Long Beach) around and went through Compton. We started to run out of gas, when I looked out of my window and noticed that every store was a liqour store and every second store was a gun store. Great, drunk gangsters with guns and we are running out of gas. We made it though, I guess the car ran on our fear:D

Don't forget to visit the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza shopping mall.
Hey, how d'you feel about opening a "CRENSHAW DISTRICT / LEIMERT PARK" thread? :)
We can't continue like that... :)

Sure. Go make new thread like this. :cheers:

If y'all want to see other Compton pictures check this link: COMPTON (http://www.angelfire.com/nv2/compton/)
You'll find tag photos of Compton Gangs I had on my old website.

LOL LOL... Do you recall what kind of part of Compton were you?
No, I was too frightened to really give it any thought, and I never went back there so I dont know what part of Compton it was, It was 3 years ago too.

Intresting. Nice job. Thanks man.

Hey it's nice to see someone post my photos, what site did you get them from?
I gave a forumer @ SSP permission to use them on his site. Later he asked if one of his friends can post them on his website.

Anyway these photos actually came from a thread I did on SSP about a year and a half ago. They acutally featured part of Leimert Park, and the village surrounding it.

DAMN, I AM THE MAN WHO ASKED MIKE TO USE THOSE PHOTOS!! AND NOW I AM HERE TALKING WITH YOU PERSONALLY... :)
LIFE IS STRANGE... :)
I POSTED THE SAME PICS I USED FOR MY SITE; I TOOK THEM FROM MY FRIEND'S PAGE AT: URBAN DECAY (http://www.angelfire.com/nv/207/)

Yes, life is strange, and thank for hosting them on your site. I would really like to get better pictures, but I haven't had the time. Me and another forumer have tried recently since we both had a few free days this week. But now the rain has come, and that dampered this outting. Hopefully we will both be able to meet up and do another tour soon.

"I hope that, Compton maybe improve city if 90% or more was Hispanic"

Yeah riiight. Crime was practically eliminated in cities like Huntington Park, South Gate, Santa Ana, etc. once they became 90% hispanic.
smh...yea right. I know Mexicans, crime won't be gone, as long as people are people. Nowhere is really safe. It's only about if you feel scared or not. Personally, all these hood areas have a really bad rap with certain people. For me, Baldwin Hills is nothing. I go there all the time! It's a really good place. Same with Compton and South Central, you can get some good ass BBQ too. Now I've seen white people in the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza and around lower Baldwin Hills, and if they heard people on here it would mos definitely not be a pretty sight :) .

I agree with you Carsoncalibrotha. I live in Carson too, by the way.

I'm not sure if all of the original pictures are of Compton. One of the pictures shows a refinery or maybe a chemical plant and there isn't one in Compton to my knowledge.

I don't think that you get a real sense of Compton from these pic's. Lots more going on in Compton than you see in these pic's (both good and bad).

What kind of most definitely not be a pretty sight?

Yeah, of course, Crenshaw, Baldwin Hills, View Park, West Adams and Windsor Hill have some white people but not so many. Area of USC is most white people. I have deaf friend, he is from Crenshaw, I don't have any problem in South Central LA.

When I was visiting LA in '01, my Sister and I went for a drive (She lived in Long Beach) around and went through Compton. We started to run out of gas, when I looked out of my window and noticed that every store was a liqour store and every second store was a gun store. Great, drunk gangsters with guns and we are running out of gas. We made it though, I guess the car ran on our fear:D
Might you go by the name of Dave Chappelle? :) "Liquor store, Gun store, Liquor store, Gun Store, where tha fuck you takin me?"

Are you talking about that picture posted by KILLBILL?
Compton has got a lotta farms/factories in this tract: Alondra (N) GreenLeaf (S) Wilmington (W) Compton River (E).

Yeah, the seventh picture posted by Killbill. Compton does have tons of manufacturing, metal shops, foundries, etc, but no chemical plants or refineries that I've ever seen. If I had to throw out a guess I'd say that it's Air Products in Carson on Alameda. If it is in Compton I'd be interested in where.

Compton only have more than 1,000 white population and 300 Asian, most was living in new neigborhood like 1980s, 1990s and 2000s house. Compton does have few mansion for upper class family.

Yes there's refineries in Compton. Go down Wilmington Ave. till you get to Del Amo Blvd. On the right side of Wilmington Ave. is the border of Compton and Carson. There's one huge refinery right there. The reason for not too many refineries in Compton is probably because Compton was built up before Carson and surrounding cities so they just dumped all the bad stuff there. That's the reason why Carson's such a refinery-prone city, Long Beach, Torrance, Compton, and Wilmington didn't want all that nasty stuff in their neighborhoods, so they just built it in this area.

^That's not Compton. The area to the east of Wilmington is unincorporated (Rancho Dominguez). The area to the west is Carson. The area to the south of Del Amo (which contains the refineries) is also Carson. Compton city limits start farther north on Wilmington close the the 91 fwy.

TRUE, THAT AREA IS RANCHO DOMINGUEZ.
COMPTON'S SOUTHERN LIMIT IS VICTORIA ST.

No even look it up. That area counts as Compton and Rancho. The buildings even say Compton Municipal Code. Hence the ZIP code being a Compton one(90220). Compton is also east of Wilmington Ave. all the way down to Del Amo. It's basically a double city, if you put Rancho or Compton it'll still go through. Also, the Warehouse Shoe Sale on Del Amo and Wilmington's adress is Compton. The store name is the Carson Branch but it's adress is Compton, CA. Trust me I know, I live around the corner.

it feels so good readin u guys discussin where im from lol... nah but for real, i luv compton and i miss it. and homie is right about rancho is compton, its all compton, the areas he mentioned...

PS = I GUESS IT'S INEVITABLE TO TELL A FEW COMMONPLACES TALKING ABOUT THE C.P.T.... ;)

Holy sh&^@#$, is this thread still around?

Reading some of the answers, sorry if I gave any wrong or misleading info. When the thread was opened months and months ago, it supposed to be a general info post for the people outside US (as most of my posts and friends&foes in these forums are non-US people). I am from Santa Barbara, and we just drove at what we believed was Compton a year ago. But here, people are very detailed upto street-even house level, refineries, jungles etc., gosh, you guys are simply amazing. But you guys are right, had someone posted pictures of Carpinteria as Santa Barbara, I would have also gotten into street level and objected it. From now on, I will never start threads about the places I visited once or twice:) Keep up with the good work bros,

Regards,

YEP KILLBILL, THE THREAD IS STILL AROUND. ;)
I GAVE IT A NEW LIFE ON DECEMBER 2004, THEN IT WENT ON BY ITSELF TILL PEOPLE STOPPED CHECKIN' IT... :D:D:D:D:D:D:D
BUT NOW LDOUBLEA GAVE IT A NEW LIFE TOO... :D:D:D:D:D:D
WE'RE GONNA THANK HIM BY BUYING HIS CD... ;) [WHAT'S UP BRO!? ;):D]
OK, SO... THAT "COMPTON REFINERY" WAS A FAKE PICTURE... :D:D:D:D:D:D
AS YOU'VE SEEN 2EASY ALREADY FOUND OUT THE CHEAT... ;)
ANYWAY, YOU'RE THE ORIGINATOR OF THIS THREAD SO... THANKS A LOT! :)

REGARDS, NEMESI.

I get a laugh out of this since it causes me to refleck back to one of our clients.
They had their shipping business in Rancho Dominguez, and we listed this office in Compton. They would quickly say its Rancho D, and I would shout back same thing. (lol). I guess some of the businesses didn't want the nagative stigma of their being located in Compton.

lol! Well actually, there's quite a few businesses in Compton. For instance, Belkin's US headquarters are in Compton. The reason why alot are in Compton because it's alot cheaper than a place like Torrance. oh yea, and to that other dude from Compton, do you by any chance know where the Game lives up in Compton? I know it's somewhere on the Westside of Compton, but yeah.

Oh yeah, and Rancho Dominugez is all in Compton. The whole area's area code is 90220(Compton). Even the Del Amo Swapmeet and the Del Amo Metro Station are technically in Compton.

yo im from compton around the rosecran whilimgton area..nice to have people actually repin this place

No need to tell us that your from Compton, we could tell by your writing.

Are you in a gang?

:bash: Stupid......I don't know the motives for why that kid wrote that, but just because he says yo, reppin, and ain't doesn't mean he's from a gang. I mean if I wrote "Hey, like, I like...want to go like....shopping today!!!" would you think I was a white kid from Laguna Beach?

Look at his avatar which is a red bandana showing his gang color and he is telling us if we wear red in Compton then we will have a problem if we do so.

sid jaCKson, would it be ok if I drive by with my RED Infinity G35?

A stupid girl from Laguna Beach.

Most houses are worth more then a million in Laguna Beach which shows a girl from Laguna Beach has good gens from their parents that are able to buy that type of real estate, either they are book smart of business smart.

Why are we even talking about Laguna Beach, are you hater and dream of being a girl from Laguna Beach?

or inherited as i know many who did, but thats a small percentage so ur right :)

Their PARENTS. I've seen plenty of idiotic rich girls. As a matter of fact, most of them I've come into contact with act like real idiots.Moneydoesn't equal intelligence in the kids.

Do you dream about joining a gang in Compton?

Yeah, unfortunately intelligent parents doesn't lead to intelligent kids. In fact, usually quite the opposite is true. Intelligent parents make a lot of money, their children don't feel the need to try hard, and they become spoiled and dumb. Obviously this is a generalization, but it happens quite often. One exception would be Reese Witherspoon's character in Legally Blond. ;)

I must agree with you.

Once again why are we talking about Laguna Beach?

I don't know, let's talk about Compton again.

I've been there a couple of times and it's not as bad as people make it out to be. One time I did see a man walking down the street wearing a ski mask in broad daylight, however.

Most of the South central area is just not as bad as people make it out to be. I think that as long as you are not a moron, the area is not too dangerous.

Intelligence has been proven to be partly genetic. But you can be intelligent and not knowledgable (smart but too lazy to learn anything). Plus, I wouldn't so quickly mark these rich parents as intelligent (social darwinism is sometimes used as euphemism for elitism). Some parents might have inherited money or have just had good fortune economically. It doesnt imply intelligence. Anyways the girls on the show Laguna Beach are dumb but I doubt that they resemble the real Laguna Beach residents.

I'm sure they picked stupid girls because smart girls are boring.

I was mainly saying that intelligent people have dumb kids because my dad is WAY smarter than me. :) I'm sure it is not across the board, but in some cases it is true.

Exact-O-Mundo! Man, I hate how "upper class" people I've talked to can't think of any difference between Carson and Compton. When they ask where i'm from it's usually followed by "Hey you been to Compton? Is it like people getting shot and selling drugs all the time?" And i just shake my head and laugh. Really, there's some houses in Compton that look just beautiful, better than some houses in Beverly Hills. They even have horseback riding in their backyards. Just make a right on Greenleaf Blvd. from Willbrook Ave(the one with the Blue Line in the middle) if your coming from North, left from the South. Then, make a right on the first street after it, and another right. There's no sidewalk, but the houses are beautiful!

I did read a article that a developer had problems with gangs when he was building a apartment building there, could this be true?

Wow gangs are using horses for drive by shootings now, gas must be expensive for them......relax........J/K

Your from Florida, you don't understand. You see, not everyone in the ghetto is in a gang, sells drugs, or "acts ghetto". They actually have nice neighborhoods! WOW!

I agree with you...

Whiteeclipse, I bet that u will never get shot or violence if you stay in Compton for long time. You need have alot of common sense to do.

I have said that Laguna Beach is nicer than Greenwich, Conn but there's no comparable with Compton and Carson. Of course, Laguna Beach and Malibu have homeless problem, beach bum and trashy white but some families are under rent control policies to avoid high rent rate.

haha Compton Vs. Laguna Beach...i'm not even from California and I find this helarious. ....You are talking about LAguna Beach from that dumb MTV show aren't you?

haha Compton Vs. Laguna Beach...i'm not even from California and I find this helarious. ....You are talking about LAguna Beach from that dumb MTV show aren't you?

Whiteeclipse started it but I don't talk about Laguna Beach that's filmed from MTV. Some part of shows from MTV is completely fool.

They have overheard power/telecommunication lines?!

I've been to Compton many times and people there are ordinary people not out selling drugs and shooting people and all the other crap people and the media be saying just ordinary people working and making a living like everyone else. Yeah its a big problem sometimes in Compton but what city doesn't have drugs and murders etc? Im pretty sure if the media shows the real seedy side of Beverly Hills or Hollywood more often, im sure you'll find the same thing.

They have overheard power/telecommunication lines?!
Yeah, because that's how buildings get powered! I'm pretty sure they do the same thing in The Phillipines.

Your from Florida, you don't understand. You see, not everyone in the ghetto is in a gang, sells drugs, or "acts ghetto". They actually have nice neighborhoods! WOW!
Florida does have ghettos and back in the 90's it was really shitty miami, tampa, st.pete, jacksonville, maybe a few others all had and still have ghettos im from one and going to the ghetto in the cities i listed is just like compton just less hispanics. Either that orlando person is from the upper class or its the fact orlando is a fairly new city and never had a "real" ghetto.

Most houses are worth more then a million in Laguna Beach which shows a girl from Laguna Beach has good gens from their parents that are able to buy that type of real estate, either they are book smart of business smart.
Actually most rich kids are morons and throw away their lives.

This thread makes me want to stick my penis in a Cuisinart.

painful..

People that say that Compton is a place for gangsters, thugs, and lowlifes, they are wrong. Like Harlem, Compton is the place where a lot of La's creativity comes from. When I go to there, you see working honest people. I peronaly hate bitches who say Compton's crap. I know[ I hope ], no one on this thread has said that, but I just want make that point VERY clear. Who's with me?

This thread should be called: Avarage Los Angeles: Compton

Some pics of Compton can compare with Maywood or some parts of Bellwood IL.

i lived in the Santana Blocc area when i lived in compton,though it was when i was a child and didnt know what was going on.....

BTW, the reason why crips put blocc instead of block is because they dont want to put CK becausae CK stands for crip killers...

No not exactly. Central Avenue was where alot of creativity came form, sort of like a smaller version of the Harlem Rennaisance(sp?).

BTW, the reason why crips put blocc instead of block is because they dont want to put CK becausae CK stands for crip killers...

haha, interesting fact.. its nice to know your gangs..

Good thread though! Compton may look negative from most gangsta rap tracks but in reality isn't not bad at all and there are alot of descent areas there as well. But it's true that there are alot of gangs in Compton.

"Speakin' of Compton, it's makin' me sick [why?]; Everybody'z talkin' that crazy shit; Sayin' they were raised in the cpt [aha]; Just as i was, they try to be like me"

BTW, the reason why crips put blocc instead of block is because they dont want to put CK becausae CK stands for crip killers...

Another thing, Bloods when they spell, they usually cross out the C or replace it with a B! So sometimes, they would spell it Bompton instead of Compton!

Boy, I'm sure the Compton PD is very buy 24/7 and 365 days a year.

Boy, I'm sure the Compton PD is very buy 24/7 and 365 days a year.

No, Compton PD was shut down in last few years ago and replaces into LA shieff to control around Compton.

TY, I didn't know.

Can't say nada about the past but these days Compton is nowhere near the 'worst' area in L.A It might be notorious for no reason but being dangerous..duh.

Take a good look at eastern 213-area, Pico-Union-Rampart or MacArthur Park.

Yeah i wish these places would just blow up. Earthquake anyone?

What area is featured in the tv serie 'The Shield'?

Yeah i wish these places would just blow up. Earthquake anyone?
Why, thousands of people live there, and even though its a bad area, thats where people live. Don't wish death on anyone.
