It's called poverty and it affected both sides.

What hell you suppose to wear when you only own 3 pairs of your big brothers hand me down pants and 4 or 5 shirts that didn't have holes.

Mama only did laundry runs once a week, a washer and dryer was a luxury back then for some

Well you ended up wearing the same clothes for a couple times in a row growing up in low income housing projects especially when you out

grindin crack stealing cars or doing burglaries at 3 or 4am. Seeing fools with the same outfits on for 2 or 3 days in a row was common back then

You had the clean Crips/Bloods/Eses and you had the grimey lookin dirty Crips/Bloods/Eses

Some neighborhoods with gang activity are nice and some are not.

Some people parents were more privileged than others

It wasnt no damn fashion show like these lame *** NYC and ATL wannabe bangas

Nothing is a fashion show when you come from real hard times

I swear some of yall have not a damn clue....

Most of the slick dope boys I grew up with didn't bang. Usually, the dusty dudes did.

I from Baltimore, we saw a spike in the gang stuff in the early to mid 00's when I was growing up. A lot of it was phony, some was real. Mostly bloods. Few crips here and there. A crip ***** shot up my mans house on some petty ****. Smh. Few homeboys were swan, lane, FOE or TTP. Some dead, some in and out of jail. Some dropped their flags and "bome home." Always wanted to know if that was a real thing out Cali [emoji]128064[/emoji][emoji]128064[/emoji]?

In my city, You just mostly rep your side of town your from, or your street or section. Cliques were big too during the MySpace era.

The biggest gang in my city is BGF. Prison gang that runs the streets.That **** is no joke. Most of the crime and drugs in Baltimore is related to them.

That gang **** was never for me. Lucky to have two parents, good education, an older bro...and sense to generally shield me from all the nonsense. Still was clicked up as a teen and a lil reckless..but who wasn't?

That gang stuff is nothing to play with and destructive.

You didn't read the original comment apparently. It's all good. Funny thing is dude who made it is from Cali and I currently live in San Diego and been coming here all my life before I moved here and noticed what wayniac211 wayniac211 was talking about. I didn't need a lecture. :lol:
 
Yall mess with Tongan/Samoan gangs? I heard there's even Filipino crip sets in Long Beach.
 
Remember I was in San Diego on the trolley coming from the community college and had a red family reunion shirt that had my grandparents names in 5 stars and some camo shorts.

Grimey looking dude in all blue asked me I bang . Took me by surprise, was like what? HE WAS LIKE ***** DO U BANG , like naw man I'm from Ohio don't have too many gangs down there and was like alright be careful with what u wear.

Chick with red bandana on looking nervous as **** tried to sit by me and I'm like naw you got to move lol .

On the way back to Chula Vista at the stop he got off on it was literally like 50 crips Just hanging out . Black/white/Mexican everything . Not sure what the exact neighborhood was.

Cali crazy lol

Samons and Tongans roll deep as a mf. If they got into it with somebody at school, they'd have they whole family up there.

Do they get down in Sac? I thought Sactown had more of a Bay vibe?

Sac got hoods from the 80s that still bang (garden bloc(crip), oak park(blood)...etc) It's not that bad as the early 90s but the bay definetley influence that turf movement instead of colors after 2000s. Norte 14 is deep as fuh out here and usually run the halls out here in NorCal.
