What would you say is the true legacy of the Crips and the bloods?

[Hey_zeus]

Poison to generations of our youth. It's families 4 generations deep in this bs. It's disgusting

Everytime there is a documentary on a particular gang, they always claim that they started as a "protection gang"

honestly, thats really what it starts out like, but as time goes on, nikkaz be breaking and bending the original rules set in place for structure.

 

[Amo Husserl]

No they were losers
That’s why they do what they do
They gave up early in life

It was necessary to cripple the black men first. They became losers, they didn't start out that way. The lure and lore of gangbanging among black men has done considerable damage from the image to the proliferation of the lifestyle in the music - before hip-hop executives financed rappers to push the gangster persona it was blaxploitation of the post-CRM generation. Take the colors out of the equation for a moment and you have loosely organized militant black men who are ready to die for something... under the right leadership they could have become something to marvel at.

Protecting their neighborhood so they can rob it themselves

as a kid, I held them in such high regard
as an adult, they are nothing but destructive criminals that ruined generations

MC Eiht/DJ Quik feud

Personally, my favorite rap battle

Big fan of both, my I lean toward Eiht

 

[Buckeye Fever]

I always single out lil wayne and chris brown when this topic comes up.

It's like yall got rich and wanted to jump into the gang life, or should I say the perception because chris for damn sure aint goin out there wit FTP puttin his life on the line. He'll just throw up signs in videos and make post on social media about how he down with the set.
