i know they had spread out long before then but from everything i've heard from people from NO and just reading shyt online they were never in NO like that. a C is a C, in different contexts it can mean different things. if you're walking around Watts in a blood hood and you start throwing up C's you'll be in trouble whether you know it or not but if you're walking around the Bronx & throw it up while shouting out something about Chicago then you're probably not gonna get hit up about what set you claim.
Again,
Where are you from man? People were getting beat the fukk up in my middle school over gang shyt. Bringing guns to school and shyt. Central, on East Linwood. I never been to NO, no idea what goes on there, but if you were in any urban area in the 80's and 90's a B or a C had a very specific meaning. I don't know what these rap dudes are doing but it looks
Fred.
I think we need input from LA cats, what do you make of this? is he just throwing this up in reference to something else?
in NO you get fukked up over blocks & wards & shyt, where you're from rather than what gang you're with.
what's the video?
Alot of ppl non-gang related did back in those days but they weren't also throwing c's up? Unless what @big bun say is true
Hold up, you nikkas for him right now saying him doing the crip sign is just coincidence but y'all not explaining why he wear blue rags also, or is that coincidence also
There's a zero percent chance any of y'all in this thread have been on a rap messageboard for any significant amount of time and not seen this exact thread made less than a dozen or so times... The pic in the op is from the Rick Roll meme era ... Baby nor Wayne have ever claimed to be crips (though have been some in their entourage even until this very day along with chitown gds like jojo capone, zoes from Mia, etcs that are close cash money affiliates) ... During the late 90s hot boy era they all wore rags of various colors as little more than fashion accessories, not as gang flags.. And they didn't explicitly claiming blood until the early-mid aughts
Long story short, yeah it's a coincidence...
I dont listen to cac thoughts unless im getting paid.the people adam carolla warn us about??
wearing blue rags and throwing up C's is a coincidence? they knew what that shyt meant, it just didn't matter to them at the time because bloods and crips weren't deep in LA at the time. later on down the line started repn blood.
he prolly just switched it up these blood and crip sets that exist there had to come from somewhere. they're prolly mostly composed of kids that were gangbangin before, and adopted the culture.
