    i agree with the person on the botom

  8. jazzychick03 says:

    First of all, you’re so fucking ignorant to say that all Salvadoreans are dark. Where in the hell do you live?-A cave? Obviously you have some kind of phobia! Salvadoreans like other people have poor people but also highly educated individuals that don’t waste their time in shit like you are! Wake Up buddy! You need some serious self-examination!You probably don’t like what you see in the mirror every morning!That is if you can afford to buy a mirror!

    ese es mi pais , i grew up in THAT i miss my country

  15. jacmia says:

    It’s horrible … I was born there and I’m glad we left

  16. xrammyx says:

    not really man, doesnt have much to do with rap music. gangs in el salvador have a long history, the gangs are basically a result of the government oppression and civil war. but unfortunately, there isnt such a level of education that there is in say…england or america or any other non third world country. so instead of handling it properly they deal in drugs and weapons and basically kill each other. its how they’ve grown up.

  17. sekky123 says:

    if theyre not following rap then why the hell are they naming their gangs and streets after american gangs and streets?

  18. xrammyx says:

    yes, 18th street in los angeles… just a name that stuck. not really sure why your relating their use of a street in america to rap music.

  19. sekky123 says:

    you really havent travelled the world have you? from uk to africa to brazil, there are gangs and people that are heavily influenced by rap music an this is one of those cases. They are trying to reinact the whole gang culture scene in la hence the tatoos and street names.

  20. NYbeerdude says:

    no this is because of the drug money that comes from the US. It causes hell in all of these nations south of the border. Either legalize the manufacture of drugs and control its distribution. Then only illegal distribution within the US will be the only drug crime (like guns without a license) – this will keep central america out of war. Either that or do what Saudi Arabia does to drug peddlers. Kill em.

  21. enanaa says:

    yeah but u know that la marasalvatrucha is one of the most violent gang IN THE WORLD

  22. Ironmandestroyer says:

    You’re a moron! You actually think that Salvadoran is a race? Mexico is a 3rd world country, just take a look at the number of Mexicans fleeing their country, immigrating to the U.S. seeking a better quality of life. You’re just an ignorant f*ck! Anyway, El Salvador doesn’t know how to deal with critical problems, in this case gangs. El Salvador, like most of Latin America, has always had a corrupt and inept government.

  23. jaht1993 says:

    dis muh country, i grew up ther, between all of those ppl. i miss my place

  24. Demurednb says:

    i cant believe this advertising shit on youtube. :@

  25. wazoome says:

    All these gangs are a blight on the good people of El Salvador. I wouldn’t hate them so much if they just kept the violence to their active members, but the little pissants want to kill people who no longer even want any part of their stupid shit. When they are caught killing people, they should be immediately put to death. That would eventually remove all the active ones and make El Salvador safe again.
