In another portion of the stream, Kapon explained how Jackson transferred his affiliation from the East Coast Crips when he moved to Los Angeles.

“Mike was a vice, Lord n###a,” Kapone started off.

“Vice Lord Gary, Indiana. N###a that’s right down the road from Chicago. He was vice Lord. And then he came down here and the Mike Concepion put him on.”

Concepion is widely regarded as one of the founding members of the Crips street gang in LA. As Kapone continued, he remarked on the instance Jackson was jumped into the gang by Concepion himself.

“Mike had a deep voice, Mike said, ‘Hey, could give me a chicken Boo East side,’ I was thinking about Tookie, but he from the West side,” he said. He continued, explaining how an integral scene and character from Denzel Washington’s breakout film Training Day was based on Concepion and his tendancies while describing how Jackson ended up getting put on.

“Mike took that fade. He got put on. So Mike got out here. Boop. Bow. Bow. So if you ever seen ‘Training Day’ today, when we said, get me in the front seat? Concepion ain’t got no legs at this time, he’s in a wheelchair, but he’ll sock you out and you have to get in the front seat with him in the car, so y’all level. Michael Jackson got in the front seat.”
