its kinda dying the oog's said not to flag anymore cause everyone was getting locked up so thats why u dont see it no more, but recruitment is dropping cause when lil nikkas wanna be down they want everyone to know but if they cant be flagged up it aint worth it to them
that's good to hear about that the new york folks are leaving it alone but the jersey folks on the other hand.

no offense but it's really sad to see some people in their late 20s and 30s promoting gangbanging. even hearing that treach who's like 40 years old still promoting it calling himself an O.G. man, just let it go. i really didn't want to say this shyt but i got to because this is sickening.
and no it's not like the west coast either which is also embarrassing. those people been doing their thing for 40 plus years where you have people seeing it as kids and wanting to be with it. the whole gangbanging on the east coast isn't structured like how it is in the west where it's neighborhoods, generations within families and etc. folks just need to let it go or just grow up. i don't even get why these guys are holding onto it instead of just trying to reach some real goals like making money, buying houses, making babies, raising families and etc, basically living their lives and not this kind of shyt. not this whole entire killing folks, trying to show who's a man or being down for a block and a neighbor that isn't even theirs, going to funerals because someone got killed, and this sorry ass cycle towards nothing. once gentrification comes through and kicks everybody out, folks will be forced to go where they're told to go and have nothing to show. folks just gotta let it go or smarten up. i mean, folks are a lot smarter than this. instead of competing over who's the toughest or the most street out there, folks can basically compete on who's the smartest, who has the best job, who redeveloped this house, work towards progress and NOT this dumb shyt of self destruction. we're black men. we don't have to follow this shyt. we don't have to become murder stats, victims, victimizers or prison inmates. we're a lot smarter than this shyt.
geez, folks need to actually rise above and stop falling into the traps, supporting a system that WANTS them to fail. i know there's some people that are going to get upset at what i'm saying BUT i damn sure can't celebrate, condone or respect a man killing someone else or himself over nothing. sad to see people looking up to that as if that's the way to go or it's cool. entertainment is entertainment. this is real life.
