0:00 If I saw an Asian guy with a crazy ass haircut, it was scary because you knew he was defying of his parents. And who knows what that guy will ████ do. And the rest of us got to listen to our moms and dads. >> Yeah, he's like, he's going to disobey his mom, that means he'll shoot at your car. >> Do you guys know what this haircut is called? >> Edgar? >> No. >> No, that's called a Caesar. >> It's called the Edgar. >> I thought it was called a Caesar. >> Well, you're wrong. >> That's not the Edgar. The Edgar The Edgar's way bigger than that. >> Yeah. Well, too bad, tough guy. It's It's the Edgar. >> I thought when you when you like cut the bangs in the front, that's the Edgar, no? Or is Edgar the broccoli hair? >> Edgar was the broccoli hair now. I thought it evolved past that. >> No, this is for sure the Edgar cuz El Salvador just banned this haircut. >> No way.
0:50 Holy ████ >> Way. >> You can't have a haircut in You can't have the Edgar? So then the broccoli one is allowed there still? >> I think that they call that the Mahomes Patrick Mahomes hair. >> They're always behind a little bit on these bans. >> Cuz that's no longer that's easy. >> Yeah. >> The broccoli is the new ████ >> I can't tell you though, the minute I see anyone with this kind or that kind of haircut piss me the ████ off. >> Yeah. Yeah, me too. >> They haven't even done anything and now I know where my parents are coming from cuz you know when when you're a kid, you're trying to ask "Oh, can I get this haircut that all the other kids have?" And your parents, when they tell you no, you're thinking, "What's wrong with the haircut?" >> Yeah. >> But now I understand it's not what's wrong with the haircut, it's that haircut is associated with these type of people and ████ those kids. >> us when we had the bangs with everything else shaved.
1:40 >> Yeah. >> This is just the same thing, you know? >> Every time I'm driving by a school and I'm sitting there and I'm naked and I'm and I see like these kids with these this broccoli haircut ████ it elicits anger in me. >> Can't get hard no more, huh? >> Can't get hard. No, can't get hard. >> Yeah, because we got enough crime footage in 7-Eleven lootings where everybody's got that haircut, like >> How did that even happen? >> Cuz it's just a trend for young ████ knuckleheads. >> Like, I mean, where did it go from like fades to Edgars? Like, that jump is such a weird jump. >> But anyway, Bukele, right? The the president of El Salvador. >> He's kicking ass, too, by the way. >> He's kicking a lot of ass. He's He's obviously gotten rid of a lot of the gang issues that they had there. >> He transformed the country, dude. >> Made it one of the safest countries in the world right now. >> Bitcoin. He's a big Bitcoin bag holder. >> Big Bitcoiner. He also, um, wanted to ban this because it's about restoring
2:30 discipline in schools from the ground up is what he says. >> They did that with with the haircut that I was talking about the Asian gangs had. They did that in schools. You can't You can't shave your head and only leave the bangs. >> Oh, really? >> I had that. Yeah, we all like bad kids had that and they made it they didn't allow it. Yeah. >> Is it cuz you look so goofy that you have to be tough? >> I think the goofiness is part of it already innately, but it's like those are the ████ guys causing trouble. You can't look like those guys no more. >> Yeah, looking with with my eyes now, you look so stupid cuz it's like a fade and it's short back here and the hair is like long down here. >> It looks ████ ████ yeah. >> But back then, you're looking at it like they're bad guys from like Beavis or something. Like it's crazy. >> defiant of whatever the norm is, so makes sense. >> But I like how this is the defiant haircut of today because their parents
3:21 and everyone's actually cool. Like, their parents probably have fades and like cool haircuts. So, now to really stand out, you got to look like a ████ >> Well, it's funny because that that looks neat. The bangs is rough, though. >> But the bowl? >> Bangs is rough. >> But the broccoli Edgar's worse. >> Usually, historically, the defiant haircut is not neat. Mohawk, metal guys with ████ That's it's so like kept that it's almost like funny. The broccoli version of that is the evolved thing. That's how the ████ That's how you could tell hoodlums now. >> I had a bowl haircut like when I was in It was the 90s. >> I had a bull haircut. >> Stanley Wong days, you had a You guys were bull brothers? >> Yeah, bull brothers. >> I had Bruce Lee hair. >> Appropriator, dude. Hey, how come Bukele gets praised, but not Kim Jong-un? Because he has state-sanctioned haircuts that you're allowed to get. >> Kim Jong-un gets praised in this room, brother. We know you're watching.
4:11 >> Number one fan from North Korea. >> I think that's fair if if the El Salvador president Whatever this fool does is working. Ban whatever the hell you want. Hopefully our country copies you because now America has the most dangerous El Salvadorans than you do. >> What if he banned dancing? >> ████ it. Great timing for me. I stopped doing that ████ >> You know what my hot take is? >> What? >> The s███████ your country is, the more you deserve a dictator. >> That's a hot take. >> Benevolent dictator though, right? >> Good enough. More disciplined. It's not not not like one that makes for the long-term of society. So, for example, right? Like we judge a lot of countries based on like where we're at. Cuz it's like well, we have all the resources cuz we stole from everybody and we won. So, we have the luxury of safety and then we have the luxury of an educated public that can like now like make better
5:02 decisions as a community, right? So, like but if you think about like where we were, like I'm talking the the modern countries today like Japan, UK, all that, where they were like during like the warlord times, they were in some ████ up places, right? With a s█████ dumb public that were robbing and stealing from each other. But they needed their own dictators to lay down the law, control the public. Then you created a safe environment, then you can educate them, control them, and then you have a safe society. So, I'm like the stages, you can't go from stone ages to like a democracy. You got to go stone ages, medieval, and then during that time you have a ████ tyrannical warlord that's like, you don't know ████ about how to manage your lives so you need to be my slaves and listen to everything I say and do the right thing and then you have
5:53 the privilege of being a society member. >> I hear what you're saying but I think we're going to give democracy to Iran. >> Nope. >> I No, I think it's going to work this time. >> Wait, actually they used to be. So Iran might cuz they're an educated group but I don't think Afghanistan could. Cuz Iran's not um backwards. >> Not at all. >> Yeah. >> But don't tell that to Fox News viewers, they have no idea. They think they're all living in tents and ████ So when it comes to like a haircut growing up did it would did you see a kid with a haircut and go that kid >> That's the haircut. >> He's cool as hell. >> Yeah, you you'd be scared of all the all the guys in SGV that hair like that. >> Or if they had but the scary ones are bald head. That's scary. Or if they had a fade and then they had like uh bangs. Another weird one is they'll have a fade and then they'll have like a little tail in the back. Remember those?
6:44 >> A lot of a lot of Vietnamese >> guys had that ████ >> looks scary but if you knew what it meant it was like scary, you know? It's like uh >> It meant trailer park to us. >> Yeah, yeah, but like for for us it meant like it's like when you don't know about gang tattoos and you see someone with like spider webs right under elbow you're like oh this guy is a total arachnids. Yeah, it's like that. It's like if you know, you know type of thing and then you would see these haircuts and then uh either you stay clear or they're your friend or whatever but you know that they participate in this street culture. >> versus >> versus just like a regular haircut. >> Exactly. The scariest part is that if you saw if you're at least this is for me in San Gabriel, if I saw an Asian guy with a crazy ass haircut it was scary because you knew he was defying of his parents and who knows what that guy will ████ do. And the rest of us got to listen to
7:34 our moms and dads. That's like an Asian thing of like okay, he's he's in he's straight, he's fine, you know, but this dude then you know he doesn't have a reason to not ████ around, you know what I mean? >> Yeah, he's like he's going to disobey his mom, that means he'll shoot at your car. >> Yeah, exactly. That's the thing, yeah. It goes zero to 100 like that. >> That's like when I saw this fool show up in my high school. >> Mhm. >> Joe mama. >> Bald ass head, standing there, no facial expression. I'm like, that's not normal Asian. >> He doesn't listen to his parents at all. >> Yeah, something's wrong with that guy. I'm not talking to him. Yeah, it's the exact thing. You're like >> That's like the kids in middle school when they had mohawks, we all just knew they didn't have a dad. >> Exactly, yeah. >> But anybody with like a, you know, a bad relationship with their dad, you got to be a little scared of. >> Mhm. That's fair. >> You know what I don't see um that much anymore with like young folks is back then I would see a lot of them
8:24 like a group of guys dressed like each other. Like almost to the point where it's comically like a cartoon gang, where they all got the same letterman jackets and the same haircuts. Or like you'll see a bunch of guys, if one guy shaves his head, that's that guy's a leader. Like a lot of them would shave their heads. Or like this group, they all have the fades and then the little tails. Like they create these like signature like looks for their little gang. But I'm like, do you see that anymore? >> Yeah, there's the broccoli guys in the tech suit. >> Oh. >> The Nike techs. That's the same like when you look at like UK hoodlums, they all have the tech. Now it's quarter zip, but it's like you know, the ████ broccoli >> I don't see it in Taika and his friends yet cuz they're all still dressed by their moms. Yeah, so they're just whatever the moms buy. >> Do you know what I want to see? >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah, I want to see like the Warriors era, where you got dudes going all out
9:15 looking like a clown. >> Oh, with like logos. >> Yeah, they got logos on their back, like >> Hey, we wear baseball outfits, okay? >> Yeah, the baseball furies, dude. Yeah, that's sick. >> What's the other one? It's not the Warriors, but it was called like the Wanderers or something. Remember that one? >> Wanderers. I love Wanderers. That's one of my favorite movies, yeah. >> And they all had the jackets and ████ >> They all have like different nylon jackets, yeah. >> Or the Outsiders, they all wore like gay outfits together. >> Yeah. Weren't they leather jackets? >> some might have denim vests, yeah. Denim vests. >> And then you had like the skinheads versus the greasers or like whatever. They get into these fights. I think the problem is nowadays is everybody lives so far and commutes. Back then you all lived in the same neighborhood. You know what I mean? Like you're in the same complex. >> Yeah. >> But then now it's like you'll get caught with your colors hell of far from your gang. >> That's true.
10:05 >> But I like it when gangs looked like cartoonish. Like they had a theme. They wanted to like, you know, Like what What's that one? It's a New York one, but it's about these black gangsters and they they um they parodied it. >> The Savage Warlords? >> I think so. They had a big rumble and then they would look like Native American. >> I think it's it might be them, Savage Warlords. >> But it was a par- They they uh the the the Bruce Leroy and all that parodied with the Sho'nuff. Where it starts with him in the um Well, that's that's Warriors. But you know how like they started in the in the in the park, Central Park? >> The gangs? >> No, the leader. >> You're talking about Warriors, the movie? >> Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. >> Yeah, and then they brought all the different gangs, right? >> Mhm. They had a meeting, yeah. >> Cyrus brought the meeting together. >> Cyrus, yeah. >> Yeah, you got the clown face guys, the You got the Asian guys with the cone hats. >> Can you count, suckers? >> You got the guys with the fedoras.
10:57 Yeah, it was really funny. >> It was so gay though. Like when you look back to think about how all the different gangs were so hyper >> Yeah. >> categorized. >> I thought it was um like Hollywood, right? But when I watched a New York gang 80s documentary, they literally looked like ████ like dorks. >> Really? >> They looked like a gay bar. Like there's guys with with with leather vests, no shirt. Like that's their look. >> Like YMCA style. >> Yeah, and then the other guys like like yeah, they're all wearing like Native American jewelry and like that that's their theme and their look. >> Were there like San Francisco Triad people? Did they have a look too that was very distinct? You know, like the very first Asian gangs. >> If they did, it didn't look fashionable to me cuz the they have footage of them and then like how they looked like and they just looked normal. >> They just look like immigrants with leather jackets.
11:47 >> Oh, they had leather jackets at least. >> But that would have been cool if they had like a Chinese robe with a rice hat and that was their theme like Raiden and ████ >> Or just nunchucks around their neck. >> That's sick. >> Damn, yeah. >> So then more people want to kick their ass. >> I remember being a kid and watching Power Rangers with my buddies and and like we're all like 8 years old or whatever and then I I remember being like we should start a neighborhood Rangers thing. So we went around the neighborhood and we wrote like flyers to say like you're being protected by the neighborhood Rangers and my mom was like you have to go take all the flyers back cuz people are going to think you're in a gang. >> The neighborhood Rangers? >> Yeah, we called ourselves the neighborhood Rangers. >> That's so cute though, dude. Come on. That's Were you guys going to walk around in >> tights and ████ >> We were had the most makeshift s█████ ass like just wearing red and like big red socks and then my my buddy would
12:39 have like black socks. >> just whatever you guys had in common? Hey, pull out your wardrobe and see what we can do. >> Yeah. It was makeshift. >> It's funny because like if Quest Crew kind of had that like we were always wearing purple. >> You guys were all themed out, yeah. >> Yeah, we would go out together and we would all have like crazy ass hair or lines, just different ████ >> had a look. >> But then we just got made fun of. >> You guys text You guys texted each other like hey, today's purple or it's always purple. >> No, if if it's a show day or if it's like I think we just bought so much purple stuff because we need purple for every show we do that we would just end up with owning a lot of purple gear. So we go out coincidentally everyone's purpled out, you know. >> I've never owned a piece of purple clothing. >> It was hard to find back then, dude. >> crazy how much you guys had purple. >> Bro, I had every week I had to go to Karmaloop and type purple. I just buy whatever the ████ came up cuz there's it was hard to find stuff like that. They didn't have like Amazon and ████ >> I mean you that's what made you guys
13:30 stand out though cuz >> Yeah, cuz purple was like a rarer color, you know? But we looked like a gay ass gang. >> Well, dance crews kind of kept that whole themed out look and I like that cuz it's creative as hell. >> Yeah, luckily for us it was a little bit more organic. Like we didn't mean to do it. It's just how we looked at the time and we just kind of coincidentally came >> Yeah, cuz if okay, so if Jabba has the mask, right? You guys were purple. >> And they got away with the mask as funny as hell. >> And then um Kinjaz have their ninja look, their Asian PF Chang look, right? Like I don't know I I really don't remember that many other teams. >> Or Poreotics, right? >> Oh yeah, Poreotics had their glasses. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. >> But aren't you forced to remember Kinjaz cuz we talk about it like every week? >> No, I think cuz I liked watching dance. >> How much do you think normies remember Kinjaz though?
14:20 >> I think people that are into the dance world like not only because they're like top, but I just think their branding in general makes it memorable. Whereas like all the other teams, they they don't really have a strong theme. >> I think the time was different by the time Kinjaz was out. Times were a little bit different and people didn't even look as eclectic generally. I just think of bomber jackets when I think of how they look offstage cuz they had they had so much of their own >> they had that bomber jacket. >> Yeah, they had their own clothing line. So they're just wearing their line. But it's not like if you think about us, that was 2009. People looked ████ >> the start. With their bomber jackets. >> But in '09, people looked wild generally. I feel like that was just like kind of colors were a little crazier back then. >> Yeah, they were. >> Is it crazy now that the dance wars have settled and that Jabba won? >> That Jabba won before they started, bro.
15:12 >> They were number one from the start, right? >> People have to remember that before they ████ showed up on the scene to the general public, everybody already knew they were the number one. Like in in the subscene, yeah. They're like ████ like the forefathers and ████ >> So like in the street scene, they're already like they're going to be number one. >> Even before they were Jabba, when they were in their own teams respectively, before Jabba. They're already from the top teams. >> Wow, okay. >> Yeah. >> So Kenji's never had a chance then. I see. >> Hey, but they're still trying, which is cute.
