In this clip, Melvin Farmer discussed the inception of the war between the Eight Tray Gangsters and Rollin 60s. He acknowledged that the popular story that things were ignited after a fight over a girl, but added that things got heated after a member of the Rollin 60s was killed prior to that fight. Melvin Farmer also explained how there have always been internal rifts within the Crips but nothing quite like the Eight Trays and the 60s. However, Melvin never participated in the war. He said he effectively stopped banging at 17 because he was strictly Crip vs. Blood.
