Over the past few years, numerous homegrown gangs been poppin up all over ny, specificlly Brooklyn and the Bx. Ygz and Ybz originated in the BX. The nikka Charlie rock formely of the cokeboys is one of the original ygz.
OK bet....I hear u.......As for drug dealers buying property, I've heard too many stories of cats getting caught up from their illegal trade and having their properties either confiscated or if the deeds were placed in other peoples names an investigation would uncover it and the property would still be confiscated......There are too many stories out there of dudes trying to clean up their money having their past take it all away from them.
The interview I'm refering to was Street soilders on Hot 97......and it was just a moment thing......This was 2004 when taping things on the radio was for real exclusives......I just so happen to be listening to the radio and that particular show didnt move me enough to tape it.....I doubt that it would ever surface but going off the head I remember not really knowing Saigon like that but I knew Jim Jones....Jim Jones was going in about how he do what the hood do and thats why he is Blood and Sai responded with "thats the problem...to many followers" or something to that like....Then he went in talking abou" where is your power when the police tell u to get off the block ya'll do it?" He went in about how when u are on parole u are forced to figure out how to move without carrying a gun so thats the page we need to get on without being on parole. He also debuted the song Color Purple on that shoe.
As for CNN .....The War Report had lil hints hear and there but Nore straight up said he was slime on The Reunion album...This was the year 2000 and that term slime was pretty new and in my neck of the woods it refered to being a Blood. When he said "slime" it confirmed the hints that I heard on War Report.

The best explaination I've seen so far that breaksdown how the popularity of Bloods came about not just in NY but also the United States was broken down by Curtis Sc00n.....Mind you I said the same thing years ago and SuperNova Slom pretty much said the same thing.....I'm gonna give you the exact quote from Curtis Sc00n:
Drug and gang culture has been a key marketing tool for rap since the success of NWA. Drug culture was the East Coast response to gang rap. In NY street gangs fighting over turf was played out since the 70's. We had graduated to more lucrative activities. The popularity and success of NWA created a shift in the direction of hip hop and the pendulum swung. That set the stage for more like them. In NY the rappers were lost. We didn't have gangs but we had drug crews that were in all honesty more sophisticated and violent. The NY rappers started their version of "reality" rap. Some merged the two. Next thing you know Bloods are everywhere hip hop is. There's only one reason Bloods are a minority in LA and a majority everywhere else. Hip Hop via Deathrow and Tupac's popularity. None of these people will ever state the obvious so I question their intent. How can you fix a problem is you won't acknowledge it? They're so afraid to speak the truth because they don't want to be pitted against each other or worse, they don't wanna miss out on a check.
Always seemed crazy that Bloods out numbered Crips in every place except the city they originated from
If you remember in the late 90s, early 2000s, everyone was perpetuating the image they was Crip in the mainstream. Everyone was C-walking, wearing blue flags (Snoop, Hov (Jay only wore the flags and said shyt like "Brooklyn is Loccin' with me" cause at the time, Brooklyn was heavily a Crip borough), Eastsiders, Xzibit, Jeezy etc...)
Then Diplomats came, and you saw a slight shift. then when Wayne came out heavy on that Blood shyt, it all switched.
