I don't care what nobody says, Warriors was a good fukkin movie. One of my favorites. It was supposed to be remade with SoCal as the backdrop from what I remember reading some years back. I think the fact that they wanted to do it with West Coast vibe is because when you think gang activity almost immediately Los Angeles and surrounding areas (Compton, Watts, etc.) come to mind. Made popular by the music and the riots, Cali kinda put gangbangin on the map as it pertains to people's consciences or ideas of gang activity. At least that's how it was, because nowadays more people probably think of Chicago than Cali. Some people might even think of Texas considering how much the ABTs have been in the news for the past few years.

Funny bit of trivia on the Warriors too, is that movie was based somewhat off of Mitch Blood Green's life if memory serves me well.

:salute: i see you breh. but true gentrification is rampant and shyt, and places like Fort Greene getting gentrified i heard tbh.
Don't get it fooled though stabbings have gone up in Fort Greene. Just like B and E's have gone up in prospect heights. These cacs about to learn about Brooklyn.

I never understood the whole NY Bloods and Crips thing...alot of the gangs in LA are multi generational dating back to the 70's and late 60's...nikkas old ass uncles still be claiming those hoods...

Another thing, they are no gangs called "LA Bloods" or "Crips"..gangs out here bang sets..(usually name after streets or parks in that hood) I never heard nobody shout out no set in NY..if you can't say what set you from you got the shyt fucced up...niccas need to just come up with they own identity like Vice Lords or Latin Kings ect. leave the LA shyt alone...
We used to have the black spades the decepticons and some others.

Thats the perspective of the city not the hood.
No one would see Colors and think of blonde women when they think of the HOOD of LA.
However nikkas see Warriors and think of ultimate warrior and shawn michaels lookin nikkas in the hood parts of new york :mjlol:

la was known for getting ran out they hoods by Mexicans

Lotta black gang members from other cities couldn't really respect that

Ny was jus known for hustlers
