Nobody knew BIG had crip affiliations until after he died when the NYPost brought up the possibility of Biggie gettin killed by Crips for unpaid security debt

but umm.. I remember Ghostface had the lyric "get in touch with that west coast cali crab you stabbed.." That was probably recorded around 94. That's an earlier mention of gangs from an east coast rapper.

that's a good question and i'm gonna say yes. my nikka stee was the first nikka to tell me about the crip shyt because i'm a nerd. i know street shyt but only by hearsay, otherwise i depend upon other sources. he told me this while were watching the 2nd annual source awards at our mans crib. before that in early 1993 all i knew were some blood dudes related to my old rhyme partner who'd been locked up and i just thought it was a gimmick so i never took it seriously at all

i even imitated their lingo without associating it with gang banging. but once stee started kickin that crip shyt and then saying (at the time) that it was west indian nikkas who was crip and foundational nikkas who was blood i knew it was pretty much over. biggie the crip wtf

I cant really remember if my clique knew 4real...
I think it was just rumors.
But back then, gang shyt in NY on the street was still in its infancy.
And there wasnt social media
So it was really hard to know anything for certain

crab was ny area slang, meaning lame not crip

people said "cous" out here as is "cousin/partner" , not the way it was used in LA

Facts. But Wu was Crip affiliated, they fukked with MC Eiht. That’s why he’s in all their early videos.
