What rapper made it cool to be a blood?

[tuckgod]

I would assume it would be DJ quik.

Wayne made it cool to be a half ass blood

Nah, Quik didn't have much reach outside of the West

His fans were born into their sets

Being a blood became popular when it hit NYC

and Jimmy was the nikka that made it hot

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

The old "all purpose" gang used to be FOLKS...people would literally just claim that. Not GD, not BD, not any of the spanish, but FOLKS. Mainly hoodcacs and rural bored nikkas tho.

Mack 10 influenced Baby

Dipset got Wayne

Baby rides the 5 like wayne...that is Midwest/East coast shyt
I don't even think the stones in LA ride the 5 and they're actual stones...they can call themselves bloods all they want.
Shout outs to there being a chicago gang in LA but nothing los angeles related in chicago at all.

There's no bloods or crips in the Chi at all?

I'd figure there was at least a couple renegade sets sprinkled around the city

NONE...There were some belizean nikkas but they don't exist anymore...same with the chinese kids.
I'm not a chicago dude but one of them can tell you zero bloods exist in between gary and chicago...

This the beginning of it. Wayne went with Dipset later, but he started with Mack 10.

Yeah, not saying Mack 10 didn't influence the whole camp, just think Wayne started reppin bloods moreso after Dipset started being so blatant with it
