Flabby heads, was biggie the first NYC rapper with CRIP affiliation?

[Atsym Sknyfs]

Biggie’s right hand man C-Gutta was first generation Crip from NY.

but BIG and crip didnt pop up until AFTER he got killed. Only crip stuff i heard about at the time was Puff using them because Suge was Blood.

i never took being cool with someone as having an affiliation. Just like on the block and around the way.. being cool and hanging with people didnt mean we were affiliated. it just made me the neutral guy to hang with.

Similar to how RZA was

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

Yup. Familiar with the slang. Never took it that way, even back then. Thought it was always a crip reference cause of the west coast part. They had plenty of west coast experience at that point after the 1st WU album. Plus running with Eiht and other tours. Who knows though.

Was gonna say this

C-Gutta's his childhood friend from his early teens who happened to be a NY Crip

 

[BulletProof]

Puff was just hiring crips which probably means Haitian Jack was.

That's not exactly affiliation. Just bad business gone wrong.

Ghost had Blood affiliations. He was talking about a Crip.

??? Let's discuss

No, just off top i can think WU and probably some earlier rappers were b4 them

If not your answer may be Loon since he was an actual Mansfield Crip before rap. He lived in LA a good portion of his life before moving back to Harlem.

Loon Interview - Rap Basement

Rap Basement: How did you get the name Loon?

LOON: Cuz I was crazy

Rap Basement: You were what? Crazy?

LOON: Ya Loon aint no name you pull out on GQ magazine. Loon
came from the street. Loon came from Los Angeles. I lived out in L.A.
well really beverly hills, mansfield ave. mansfield crips, you know. they
really profected my New York crazy, new yorkers we do have a distinctive
craziness about us. Everybody started calling me loony toon, or loony
or whatever. Yo thats a real loon right there.

I wouldn't consider him to be a Crip affiliate.

 

[WSFGDan]

doubt it

 

[Atsym Sknyfs]

Yup

this clip sums up what i said earlier.. BIG was not crip ... his homeboy was

What do you consider affiliation? To me that means your circle/your close associates rep that gang. A majority of Junior Mafia is Crip

that’s like saying Cam’ron isn’t Blood affiliated.

but even in that clip starting at 2:40 they say BIG was not crip. Cutta says I was a crip not BIG

i explained before ... to me affiliated meant more than being cool with. affiliation means apart of.

i had a few boys that were deceps. I was there when it started. we were cool but i wasnt affiliated with them. yeah, they would be like nah chill he cool but i wasnt out there robbing on the train or doing other buckwild stuff.
being cool with is like you're meat if you boy aint there
affiliated means you know the handshake, the calls and wear the clothes ..

but again that is only my opinion. By your definition YES

when my boys approached, i dapped it up said whats up and kept it moving. I wasnt tryna get in their dirt.

also maybe its because of my profession but I need to take words at their literal meaning. legally things get crazy when you take an assumed or implied meaning. and every thing i write goes through a legal review ..

 

[Bigsuk]

dudes woulda been mad young in the mid 90s so take it with a grain of salt

Yeah them twins bullshytting obviously there family members remember the baby lane / keffe Dee /Tupac/biggie /bad boy shyt they wil have been young kids wen that went down .... you hear conflicting stories as to if biggie and puffy ever hung in south side crip hood tho even now ....

 

[Sinister]

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

TBH I don't think it was known to the general public that Eazy E had affiliation with

Spoiler

Kelly Park

until after he died.
