timestamped: you can also see Banga in the news clip

I see, thanks for sharing this clip breh. It says that they were childhood friends.

I noticed Lisa Evers is interviewing him here and she also interviewed him about the Troy Ave situation, speaking of I wonder why they taking so long with that case. All of this stuff is messed up but that's why us as a people have to make better decisions.

It really ain't that hard to fathom why he gots those numbers.
he ran MMD in Brooklyn, Pete headed SMM in the Bronx and all are of-shoots of UBN founded by OG Mack himself.

Its like being in the mob itself. :manny:

Just googled this OG Mack guy and his Wikipedia starts off with him snitching heavily before he started that organization. :huhldup:

This ain’t the movies...cases take time. It’s a lot of things they have to go through.

Everything about dude is false and/or questionable Da thing of it is, during those years in which those charges/snitch accusations were bought to light & started circulatin', he was gettin' nikkas fired on left & right as a means to silence who he viewed as detractors. Those were da years when shyt was turnt up to da absolute max. Some of those that were gettin' fired on were reputed & viewed as pioneers & known bing monsters. And yes, dawg is/was a rat. It's quite a few muthafukkas that sit at da head of certain hoods that are rats and they think nikkas don't know. Some do know actually, yet, they turn da other cheek.

So it's a known fact that dude was a snitch before he started the NYC Bloods?

That's wild as fukk.

I was hoping when I posted that someone would come on some "you can't believe everything you read on Wikipedia."

I already look at NYC Bloods kinda sideways, now that I know the whole shyt was started by a snitch, they get no props at all.

I've always had a feeling these new gangs were started by informants, backed by the feds, as a means to rope in all the crimies in a nice little package, but this pretty much confirms it.

It's hard to perform law enforcement when you're dealing with a bunch of little crews and cliques, but when you can tie them to a wide organization, the RICO act is a piece of cake to hit them with, and even on a lower level you can him them with gang laws that are much easier to enforce and get convictions.

We gotta do better.

Yeah. I can't remember right now but I wanna say that it wasn't revealed till a few years after da fact. nikkas knew. And those that did were gettin' fired on for lettin' it be known as to silence others who may've gotten any bright ideas to do da same. A lot of his teachings have since been lost in time and nikkas strayed away from 'em around da turn of da millennium. But yes, it's known that dawg is a rat.

So they was shooting nikkas that was trying to warn them instead of chucking the dueces and going back to just repping their crews, blocks and pjs?

Crazy.

Im from nyc and i dont get why these guys get the hype they do. Of course theres real heads in every group but most these guys fronting haf. Its all from hiphop press.

Wouldnt be suprised if the real heads just setting these dudes up for the fall.. letting them get press sand attention by calling out they crews on rap songs and months later they all locked up. Its a joke.

They probably get the hype for the reasons I said.

I used to be a mental health/behavioral counselor that had to educate shorties on the negative effects of joining a gang.

It's amazing what police can do when they're dealing with someone that is affiliated with a gang.

When they come into schools to "educate" the kids on gang life, they teach them the colors, history, and signs, and damn near promote the lifestyle to them.

If you have social media posts, pictures, tattoos, or hearsay that confirm your affiliation, they can extend sentences and judges are a lot less lenient on someone that commits a crime that's associated with a gang, due to established gang laws, as opposed to someone who is a neutron.

So it's obvious that gangs and gang culture would be pushed and promoted by law enforcement for these reasons.

Imagine how hard it was for NYC police in the 80s and 90s to get convictions when every street had 1 or 2 small crews that ran together, didn't have identifying clothes, tattoos, hand signs, etc. and were more likely to stick together, versus being able to label someone a dangerous gang member because they wear a red flag, have identifying tattoos, and run with others who are known gang members.

You can now tie whatever small crime they commit to every single crime committed by others that wear that same flag, throw them same signs, and have the same tats whether the person knows the others or not.
