Acerca de esta escucha

I Am Raymond Washington provides the listener with an unprecedented look into the life of the founder of the Crips. Forget everything you have been told about who started the Crips and why. Most of it is wrong - very wrong. Welcome to the only authorized biography of the undisputed founder of the Crips.

Filled with interviews of friends, family, and acquaintances as well as people who knew and grew up with Raymond Lee Washington. Don't look here for horrific stories of gang violence and crimes committed by gang members; that has been done before. If you are looking for a factual and intuitive look into what made Raymond Washington unique on the mean streets of Los Angeles, this book is for you.

This book is filled with stories and eyewitness accounts of those who knew who the real founder of the Crips gang was, looks at what he represented to the people who knew him, and hopefully explains why his name is still spoken on the streets of Los Angeles with hatred, fear, awe, and reverence.

Entering the world of Raymond Washington with an open mind was difficult for me, but eventually the story of who he was as a leader, warrior, tactician, and mentor became clear. Hopefully it will become clear to the listener why the gang was so successful and how an apparently unremarkable 15-year-old kid in the fall of 1969 would sit down with his best friend and form what would become one of the single most successful yet feared and hated gangs in the world: the Crips.

This is a great story, but it's not by Raymond, nor is it in his words. It's such a shame that he himself did not get to tell his story. There is so much hearsay, people who think they know certain fact and contradictions. The only person who could say for sure was Raymond, and he didn't tell his story. There is one part at the beginning, which is a letter by Raymond, which is the most genuine part of the book. It's the only part of the book that's in his words.

Not by Raymond nor his words.

The Vietnam War did not end until the brave reporters gave the general public the important truths of what that war was doing to innocent sons and daughters of grieving parents back home. The raw details struck enough hearts that people went into action to put the war and the killings to an end. Important truths end wars. Nipsey Hussle's demise flashed through my mind listening to the journey of Raymond Washington. Great read! Gonna buy the book and make my grandsons read it. Thank you to everyone who survived and told this story so that others may also survive the brutal deadly streets of Los Angeles. March 31, 2019 was a severe blow to the collective Black psyche. End the L.A. wars!!!!!

Important truths.

Great Story and Even Better Narrator

I learned a lot about my native Los Angeles and what happened before me. I had no clue about the Raymond Washington and BGF issues and will research this more. I finished this book in two days, very informative and engaging.

Wow!

I loved the book; the narration was incredible too. The only thing I think detracted from it was the author’s assertive opinions and gap-filling in terms of what did or did not happen. Usually this is fine, but he did try to pass it off as more authoritative and conclusive without any more backing than the alternative theories. I think Raymond Washington will never truly be known or understood, and that’s okay, but what’s not okay is substituting our assumptions for the unknown facts. Other than that, a good book.

Great Book, Great Narration, A Little Too Opinionated

The unity among the Crips and Raymond Washington's dislike of guns.i also felt that it's was intriguing how widespread these organizations became.

The start of the crips.

SUPER BORING, nothing insightful, really dry information presented poorly! Wish I could get my credit back for this one

Yawner
