Alot of the LA sets that popped up in Southern cities were directly started by people from LA that moved there for various reasons. They're sanctioned and connected.
The problem with NY was they literally just took the name and started claiming Blood and all that without any connection to the actual Bloods. Few of them were started by actual LA sets.
Big difference.
Nah only a relative few gangs in the South were born off Cali hoods directly. Most of em weren't...
I ran with the Bounty Hunters (BHM/BHV) and different Pirus (Ave Piru=PA/Preston Ave; IMG/OST) in Fayetteville NC; have run with the Blood Stone Villain Gangsters (21 BSVG) and South Side Pirus (28x29x31) in Little Rock, and have networked with cats pushing "West Coast" Brim hoods in both North (Shaw Town Brims) and South Carolina (forget the handle but they were "based" off 62). Memory is a little foggy but while I could sit and probably recall a couple dozen homegrown South gangs (910 Hoovers, 910 Crips, CMC (Cash Money Crip) R'30s, College Station Crips, etc), they only represent about 20% of the B or C hoods...and most of that 20% wasn't started by some relocated LA or Cali nikka...
But here's the reason I bring this up, cats stay getting confused on this topic. Cats in LA don't typically give a fukk if you repping the umbrella, just establish your own hood. And this idea that B/C gangs have to be started by an actual Blood or Crip isn't a standard that was set by California Bloods and Crips, that standard was set by Outta Towners. California is lok'd out with hella B and C gangs that struck up they hoods without an actual existing B or C coming to that turf, and what validates a particular hood is how they put it down for the particular label they pushing...
You don't get validated because someone else says you are, because while its true that plenty other hoods started with an existing B or C coming thru, do you know how many Crips regard other Crips as "fake Crips", Bloods saying other hoods not Bloods?
I'm from Sacramento, I can think of a number of gangs who other hoods on the same rag call them fake (I got two brothers from the Gardens who say Nogales nikkas not real Crips, just using an example)---->and to be clear Nogales is an established gang that's been around forever and has a legacy. nikkas have said the same about the Flat Doggs and Rollin 50s and probably more, I'm not 100% in tune with blue rags, but the point I'm trying to illustrate is these are established gangs and other Crips have been known to say they not real...
Same shyt has happened on the B-side. And the only gangs I know for sure in Sac that struck up from an LA co-sign in OPB, VHP, and GBC. There's a few dozen other gangs in Sac and nobody calling hoods fake just because they weren't started by an LA hood....San Diego Bloods werent started by LA Bloods lmao, it was an SD nikka. And most if not all of the other SD b-dogs were started by other SD cats, and alota these hoods reputable and well known...
So the point I'm making is having a connection to Cali is an OT standard. That ain't how the majority of nikkas in LA look at judging if a hood official and I got homies from LA turfs too (H20, Bopps, etc). Theres this huge misconception that exists everywhere outside of Cali, including in West Coast areas like AZ and Seattle, on what makes a hood "official", and that idea wasn't created by Cali nikkas themselves...
