Spinoff from the Nardwuar Schoolboy Q interview 



The Bloods & Crips project was organized by producer Ronnie Phillips, rappers Redrum 781 and Tweedy Bird Loc.  Actual gang members, Crips from Compton, Watts  and Long Beach, Bloods from Inglewood  and Los Angeles  auditioned for the group and the best ones were chosen for the album.  In 1993 the Bloods & Crips released their debut album entitled Bangin' on Wax  for Warlock Records. One year later, the groups second and final studio album, Bangin' on Wax 2... The Saga Continues  was released. After Bangin' on Wax 2, the Bloods & Crips parted ways, with the Bloods becoming the Damu Ridas  and the Crips became the Nationwide Rip Ridaz.

The idea behind the albums was to get the gang members to bang (slang for fight) on wax (i.e., record) and not in the streets. Each record consisted of a "B" side and a "C" side. The B side consisted of Bloods and the C side consisted of Crips. The songs "Bangin On Wax", "G's & Loc's" and "I Wish You Were Here" were the only songs where the Bloods & Crips rapped together in the original albums. Most of the songs were written and recorded in the same studio session.

These dudes were on tracks together dissing each other. Imagine a group like this in 2014?

Only liked Piru Love, and that was because of the Computer Love sample

Mediocre and bad rappers

They made a few Bangin On Wax.
 
I had no idea that many of them passed.

This was when gangbanging in LA was legit and at its peak!
 
Off Topic (kinda) but I was shocked when I found out about how many cast members from Boyz N The Hood have passed.

The dude who killed Ricky went to jail for murder and then got killed in jail.
 
Definitely a time capsule

Remember listening to this back in the day and thought it was a fresh concept

The vids added a whole nother layer

I remember when I first saw this in the stores, not knowing if these were real gang members rapping or just rappers rapping as gang members :lol:
