That was acutally
@Whogivesafukk who's versed on the SoCal lowrider culture. Breh, told me that spoke rims, switches, and even the word 'lowrider' came from Afr'Ams. Mexicans came with the hydrolics, the use of 50s & 60 chevys, and pinstripes.
The engines probably came from the Kustom & Hotrod culture of anglophone whites which predate lowriders. So I see it as as a general SoCal culture. But, you know how them SoCal Mexicans is though. Any little contribution of their's and they're going to claim it all as their own.
I'm from the H, so I know more about the SLAB culture out here, which is uniquely Afr'Am Houstonian.
Now if you ever want me to expose the truth about this TX cowboy culture coming from Mexican vaqueros bs, especially as it pertains to black cowboy- I can do that all day.
