Read his book always running in high school. It changed my perspective on the lifestyle and how destructive it can be. Thank you for writing that book and shedding light on the issues facing our people.

This was a legendary interview, American Cholo. You are doing an amazing job for the cultura and it’s a tragedy you’re not getting the attention and views you deserve. Keep going on homie, you will prosper eventually.

One of the coolest podcast I’ve heard in a long time. Time just flew listening to this one had a great time homeboy practically took me way back when.

True O.G. Luis Rodriguez! I read his book when I was a yungster. He grew up around the area of my hometown South Gate, Ca. Great interview Gil. 👍

This is really good. So much history being talked about. Your viewers from the sgv are especially enjoying this man's interview.

I remember reading always running while I was doing time in a juvenile detention center ...really good book that helped the time pass and I could relate to alota the stories...he also wrote another book that had a lowrider or limo on the front that one was badass too

Viva la Raza viva American Cholo 🇲🇽 💯

Much love to Luis Rodriguez ElPaso/juaritos elpachuco town:) ElPaso Juarez and eastLosAngeles will always be linked to each other both in pachuco history and cholo history true O.G’sin the game!!!!!!!

I read his book when I was 15 in 2003 at the high school library. And his book grabbed my attention and to this day I remember certain parts of his books

Youngsters, get his book “Always Running” If you think you have it hard, Senor Rodriguez had it 5 times harder

Gil my dad was a white low rider from lynwood, The used to call it “Lilly white lynwood” but that had already came to an end in my dads time, Most of the whites had moved to Lakewood at this point were they still are today, Not on no racist shit just on some decent neighborhood shit, My question would be why than are these Nieghbor hoods in the condition there in now? Lakewood’s still the way I remember it as a child but lynwood ah hell no, It’s interesting how when the mischievous Chicano kids are talked about they were misled, Good at heart… BUT when the whites are spoken of it’s just pure racism, Mischief is just that, Evil is just that, Color don’t matter

I could heard these OG all day I had had read his books he is been tru alot in his life wish him the best on his new adventure in life going for Governor of Califas .:

Saludos desde El Salvador, I read the big homies book, and related to his book, and it made me see a bigger picture about why I found myself in jail as a teenager ...fire Camp Routh

Makes me proud to carry the Rodriguez last name. Im a writer, not the same material but working on it.

Juaritoz el paso❤️ much love and respect mi raza

Thats my favorite book ALWAYS RUNNING

A living legend 🙏

speaking of Cholo's, I'm 65 years old and I remember that the cholo's dressed much different. cholo's didn't wear sneakers or jerseys. I remember Pendaton's and Imperial shoes.

Respect to the og I grew up in south San Gabriel too
