Bloods & Crips ~ Steady Dippin'

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

Cool.

Even though i was somewhat involved with that lifestyle(when i was younger), today, i can't stand being around gang bangers, but i can appreciate the music.


The sad thing about that whole banging on wax movement is that a good number of them guys are dead. It's like 7 of them are gone. Most from being murdered.


Sad.

Anyway i like this one right here. Not so much because of the lyrics but because of the beat.



"Gs & Loc's" by Bloods, Crips



Rest in Peace Bettie Boo. See u soon.

Michael Jackson had Bloods & Crips in the Beat It video, hoping to foster some sort of peace.

^Yeah, that whole gang banging lifestyle is so depressing, destructive, and tragic.



The guys from BOW, the ones that are dead. If they could do it all over again, i bet they would haven chosen another path instead of being in a gang.



I read somewhere that in los Angeles, since the 70's, theres been over 15 thousand gang related murders. And thats just between the crips and the bloods.



I had a friend that was murdered in LA(back in the 80's), by mexican gang members(he was mexican as well).

They killed him and put his body in the trunk of his own car. His name was tony martinez.

Rest in Peace Bettie Boo. See u soon.

There's pretty much always been gangs in some form, whether it's pirates, the mafia, Christopher Columbus' crew, or the Daltons from the old west.
