Nicki Minaj is coming out as a blood on her new single. Is she too old for this?

[Studious one]

She repped them on that Wayne song on Dedication 3. When Wayne did the Mercy song.

That dedication with Wayne is pure fire! I used to play that shyt over and over again. I can’t find it on YouTube now. Goes to look again…

what yall New Yorkers think of these posts

We don't care Im a 80s baby so NY bloodin/crippin is always been corny on the street Personally yet i understood the jail origin was needed at the time to organize against the organized Lks and netas then, funny shyt is NY style bloodin done dwarfed LA bloods nationally and literally is why blood surpassed crips as the go to gang in hip hop and around the country

Nicki is like Beyoncé

They have their fan base and the ladies that will ride with them

But for some reason they feel like they need to be in competition with the Cardi Bs, Glorilla,SZA, City Girls, etc…

If any you Brehs know about this subject, help me out.

I saw Ice T say that "Bloods" in LA didn't have the word "Blood" in their sets cause they were really just "not Crip". So you have the So and So Crips, but the Blood set was just This and Such Set. Without using the word "Blood"

But now, people outside of LA treat Bloods as one group.

Am I understanding this correctly?

Most Blood gangs in LA predate the unification of Bloods and have the same names they had before The Alliance, that's why you don't necessarily hear the word "Blood" associated with them. Brims, Piru, Bounty Hunters, Denver Lanes, Inglewood Family, Swans, Bishops, Black Stones, these groups were all around before The Alliance...

Another thing all these groups have in common is they've almost all gone on these "fukk a Blood" stretch, Piru, Swan, Brims, Black Stones, all these nikkas have had moments where they try to differentiate themselves from The Alliance on some "we ____, not Bloods" shyt ...

These groups do identify as Bloods though and demo as Bloods in dress and lingo regardless, identify as Bloods upstate and in county. They always gonna identify by their direct name first but there really is no question in LA who the Bloods are...

In Sacramento Crips predate Bloods too but in the rest of California majority of Blood gangs formed after The Alliance. This is what makes LA Bloods unique is the age and identity of the gangs. The oldest Sacramento Blood gang is Oak Park Bloods and only dates to '80, so there's a different identification to sets that came around post-unification (even in LA, it's just fewer post-unification sets there). Oak Park went under a different identity and was around as a gang before 1980 but didn't co-opt the Blood identity until then...

In Sac OPB has somewhat differentiated itself too, given its the historic Blood turf. No mistake though, Detroit Blvd, Fruitridge Vista, Del Paso Heights, G Parkway, Seavey Circle Projects, Strawberry Mob, Meadowview, CunyVille, etc all have their own identities. In California it's always hood first over The B on the streets. All these hoods are post-Alliance but you also have your own local politics and alliances that influence identity...

So Ice T was partly right but not really specific, California, and LA certainly, is somewhere you just have to be in to really grasp the politics. I had a lot of homies from NY and NC over the years, and both have they local twist on Bs and Cs, but when dudes would ask me about comparisons to Cali, thats what I'd tell them. You cant really conceptualize the contrasts between Bloods and Crips I'm Cali and Bloods and Crips elsewhere until you experience it yourself...

So what does a female gang member do? What does a 38 year old female gang member do that’s recognized all over the country?

The same thing Tekashi 69 did, use her outsized wallet to help fund a criminal enterprise.

 

[Arizax2]

Do we know yet if she got sexed in

 

[Kal-El]

Kinda hard to understand this the same broad that came out with Superbass

 

[Don Snow]

She’s been hinting at it damn near her whole career

It’s not a secret

That’s why she settled down with buddy

Whole career ?

Never heard her rep bloods so hard until she married the rapist.
