yeah, this is unique to chicago ( as far as I know)
where i live... 30 year olds are the Ogs, not damn 20 year olds. You have 19 year olds running entire crews in chicago.
i would hate to be from the hood and live In the hood there.
in detroit.. when me and a few of my friends go back to our neighborhood.. its nothing be respect and thats it. I don't know chicago like that... and i know youtube and online isn't a good source, but it seems like lil nikkas running wild.
Blame the rico cases against the GD's in the 80's and again in the 90's, Black P Stones (93rd & RACK CITY ) with Fort getting bumped in '87 , the projects getting knocked down causing random rivals to pop up in unfamiliar neighborhoods all trying to scrape for the lucrative drug profits thus causing a surge and overpopulation in certain neighborhoods etc.
Basically the idiots in charge thought taking out the top 5-20 dudes running a 20,000+ organization would result in the crime to cease or dwindle now instead of dudes in their 30's even 40's running organization, you got dudes barely in their 20's trying to run shyt (1990's-onward)
that's again one half of the story especially when you take into the whole break down of folks going at with folks (GDs vs BDs, GD's claiming renegade or "ebk" to go after other Gangster sets) and the whole inner turmoil with the Black Stones (Maniac's claiming BPSK) etc. it's very unfortunate endless and bloody cycle man.
This also, again purely speaking from someone who spent sometime in Chatham, Greshem and South Deering I can't even speak on the stuff that pops off out west or over east.
