But when they're in Chicago, they just go to the same old GD, BD and LK hoods. They need to link up with the smaller mobs.

I recently realized something that people been obsessed with Chicago since the 2010s began, yet there's very little coverage of Chicago politics and gangbanging overall.
Even the prison YouTubers rarely ever interview Illinois state prisoners. None of these YTers interview the OGs from the gangs, especially not the smaller mobs. They're dying out and taking their stories and history with them.

It's also a thing of are them dudes even rapping? is there anything interesting going on in their hoods? I don't think chicago has the equivalent of an Alex Alonso though

Tommy G just did a video about this rapper trans-man SD who snitched on her crew and it's :heh:


DJ Akademics got popular by covering chicago drill..... Trap Lore Ross has been whole ass documentaries outlining chicago rap. ChicagoScene88 been doing the same thing. Zack TV was doing that, but he got killed.

He was crashing out, this was inevitable

Nikka was beefing w/ Sherwood (56th St), among other hoods...no way you're gonna survive when your opps are literally next to you, 5 and 10 mins away

Yeah, I saw that Chicago video a few days ago. It was interesting.

ZackTV actually gave a lot of coverage to the Brooklyn drill scene in the mid-to-late 2010s before he died. Unfortunately, rap fans didn't care about NY drill back then but the scene did sprout into something bigger afterwards.

Akademiks covered one cluster of BD sets (300, 600, Lamron and O-Block) and a few of their enemies. Recently I found out there's another cluster of four BD sets not too far away and they got their own world. Rappers from the two territories didn't even collab even though they were cool with each other. :heh: Trap Lore Ross expanded the coverage wider in the Southside but it's still mostly beefs between BD, GD and Mickey Cobras and he focuses on rappers.

There's YTers that got videos interviewing California OGs from way back talking about their set's history and there's an avalanche of videos talking about prison politics, street politics and history. There's very little of that for Illinois.

There's always been websites that talk about the history of active and extinct Chicago gangs but it's hard to verify or get into details. It would be so much better to get stories from the source from OGs and leaders that actually did time or who moved on in their lives.

Yeah, that's why it would be easier to talk about the 1960s to 90s like a lot of figures from other states do. There's a lot of Folk and People mobs slowing going extinct or that recently went extinct. I'm interested in those stories as well as the pre-Folk/People mobs and crews.

A lot of people actually do want to talk about their stories but there's nobody offering a platform. The Black Souls' leaders used to be all up in the media like some of the others' did back in the day but hardly anyone in the mainstream consciousness today are even familiar with Black Souls or the Black Gangsters, Simon City Royals, Ambrose, Gangster Two-Six, Bishops, Saints, etc despite still being major gangs.
