Im from DC, we dont do that gang shyt. For reference though, Im from a “hood” which is like a loose alliance. Big 3-0. But even then I was never apart of it, nor did I engage in hood banging. I did my own thing.
Like dude earlier said, Im way too rogue to join an actual organization. I ran with a network of dudes younger & older from all over the area & we just ran like a pack of wolves. Some of us scammed , some robbed everything from homes on some paper soldiers shyt to robbing prostitutes out of motels, some of us sold water & dope, extortion, etc.
We had point of contacts to chop shops, brothel, dope holes/trap houses, fake ID/SSN spots, undergroundpoker/gambling, etc whatever you could think of we was doing. Taking OT trips to Portsmouth, VA to get our $$hine on bc the customers were so thirsty.
We had older guys (25+)steer some of us in the right direction so we was doing/having shyt most guys our age wasnt doing or coming into contact with heads who normally wouldnt talk to us. I had OGs that knew Wayne & Rayful. My sister’s husband is a 1st cousin to their 2nd hand man/bodyguards.
Now that I’m older I can’t unsee it. It’s like wherever I go or whatever I do, I always don’t wanna be a sucker. I always see a new hustle, and I always test boundaries/look to exploit even at my 9-5 job. Once you get that mindset you can’t go back. I just use it as ambition for more productive things these days.
