Zulu King L1HOST
I'm one 30-year member of the Zulu Nation.
Zulu King L1HOST
So the video that I just shared at the beginning of this one was from Trust Mula, a Puerto Rican rapper from Brooklyn, New York, former member of the Latin Kings, and probably best known for the Drop Your Flag Challenge, him leaving the Latin Kings publicly.
Zulu King L1HOST
you know, behind Hocus Pocus movement.
Zulu King L1HOST
brothers in the struggle, striving for the revolution.
Zulu King L1HOST
You know what I'm saying? And that definitely was something that we can say was a unified force between the Black American brothers and the Puerto Rican brothers, especially in New York City.
Zulu King L1HOST
Then when you take it a few years later and you look at the street organizations, the Black Spades, the Ghetto Brothers, the Savage Skulls, the Savage Nomads, the Zulu Nation, the Decepticons, the Low Lives, Lost Boys, all these prominent street organizations in New York City.
Zulu King L1HOST
started with Puerto Ricans, Black American brothers, Afro-Caribbean brothers, and Puerto Rican brothers.
Zulu King L1HOST
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Watt SliceHOST
... thing, like, with, with us sometimes, you know, being in the, um, Zulu Union or, you know, formerly the Universal Zulu Nation, it's like you have a falling out and you love from a distance, or you just be like, "Yo, like I ain't messing with the brother because of X, Y, and Z." And you know, sometimes it hurts and you gotta, like, keep it moving, you know? Especially if it like, if it's sidewinder snake tactics and, you know.
Watt SliceHOST

Crazy LegsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
My first experience with watching Breaking B-Boying happened in 1976.
Crazy LegsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It was my brother, Robert Colon, and he was actually in front of my house with Africa Islam of the Zulu Nation.
Crazy LegsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I was nine years old.
Crazy LegsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I was looking at him and thinking, why is my brother throwing himself on the floor and embarrassing my family? My cousin comes to me a year later and tells me, yo, Rich, you got to come with me to the gym.
Dominican JohnnyHOST
Or, because Bam and all them were street niggas anyway.
Dominican JohnnyHOST
Zulu Nation was street gangsters anyway.
Dominican JohnnyHOST

DulaGUEST

Zulu King L1HOST
You know what I'm saying? I'd rather call a brother...
Zulu King L1HOST
a king, you know what I'm saying? You know, righteous things, positive things, hey champ, you know what I'm saying? Peace champ, you know, things that are positive, things that could build people up versus, you know, negative things, right? And I'll tell you like this, when I was younger, Growing up in the universe of Zulu Nation, we had a bad habit thing where if we call ourselves the N-word or another brother, another Zulu, the N-word, we used to get, you know, open chest shot.
Zulu King L1HOST
You know what I'm saying? Somebody would just...
Zulu King L1HOST
you know, straight clobber you with a wild jab right in the middle of your chest.
Zulu King L1HOST
It was called Godsville.
Zulu King L1HOST
Heavy 5% Nation of Gods and Earths influence throughout that community.
Zulu King L1HOST
And as we know, Fat Joe grew up also being involved with the Universal Zulu Nation as well.
Zulu King L1HOST
So he had these two influences, much like many other Puerto Rican brothers and many other black brothers growing up.
Zulu King L1HOST
It, it's- Mm-hmm ... people I know personally that, that have money and no security.
Zulu King L1HOST
You know what I'm saying? Most, most people that we know i- in hip-hop that we've come across then have no security, and then when they came to the Zulu Nation events with us, um, demanded that we leave them alone.
Zulu King L1HOST
Don't do security for me.
Zulu King L1HOST
Yep, and, and what's crazy is- You know what I'm saying? Like when- ...
