What rapper made it cool to be a blood?

[BmoreGorilla]

Yall forgot about Mack 10 being on Cash Money for a second. He's prolly more the reason for Wayne and Baby repping Bloods than Dipset

 

[Trajan]

Jim the Capo

Easstiiiiide

 

[R-Typ3]

Wayne.

New Orleans didn't even have gangs until he started glamorizing blood gang and now everybody wanna be a blood.

Nah N.O. cats always banged they wards/neighborhoods.. shyt so notoriously cutthroat there couldn't ever be no b/c sets down there 'cause nikkas would just eliminate each other before long

 

[Black_Panther_JS]

on a massive scale Wayne

but Dipset also made it real cool tho, Dispet was poppin around the same time as wayne too and they fukked with each other, so it goes both ways

Game to a lesser extent

 

[MoneyBags]

Wale

 

[agpxknt]

[T.H.E. Goat]

You must be from Cali because that is so true. Majority of the blood neighborhoods in Los Angeles were blacks with money. Most of the crips hoods were rundown back in the 60s-70s. One main reason why the bloods form was to keep them crips from messing up there neighborhood. And yes bloods were consider more of the pretty boys than crips. But also due to fact they lived in better neighborhood

Hard to say when u always had cats ridin/reppin the flag on both sides...OG's always said back they all started bangin like it was a football team and every hood was a different team... Nobody really had to push the line on bangin in the early days 'cause the code was Y'all know wussup/thought ya knew

Wow i never knew that ...I knew why bloods formed but I didn't know that the hoods that formed blood was more affluent than the crips hoods

Learn something new everyday huh

How bout Nickerson gardens and Piru street?

Throughout the whole quik and death row thing...nikkas were already bloods in the first place, it just made them proud.
Being a blood was not "cool" in the 90s. Most of the bloods I knew were girls and lightskinned nikkas from "slightly better than terrible but still garbage" neighborhoods. Crippin was what it was then.

Are either of you from L.A.? Which black neighborhoods with money are you talking about that you say most Blood gangs are from?

Wayne made it cool to be a half ass blood

This. I rarely met anyone claiming Piru in the 90's and early 2000's.

Mack 10 influenced Cash Money

The Relatives influenced New Jersey. (This was way before it was a trend tho)

Mack 10 influenced Baby

Dipset got Wayne
