If ur one of those broke ass, dusty ass gang bangers that runs the streets and tags up walls getting into fights all day (which is like more than half of em) then ur a fukking lame with prison wishes
If ur about ur paper and the gang is just for protection or for muscle more power to u. I dont agree with it but atleast ur making money, u got something to show for it...
Which is why if I ever was a criminal id rather be a dope boy or mafioso than a gang banger. Met too many broke dusty gangbangers in my life
Alotta sets have that one dude thats all about his paper and hell Ive heard of whole sets strictly about money
Certain Sex Money Murda lines(Eastcoast blood gang) are only about money and extortion and even got a age requirement
This is on the Eastcoast at least. Idk bout the West
But gangs in general started for good reasons, and got corrupted. I assume the same happned out West. A lotta gangs started out to protect their race ( italians , haitians, blacks, etc)
