    Good post. That's my thing. Why does it matter to neutrons if a rapper is false flagging? If it was such a big deal, the "real gangs" would speak up or handle things. Right?

    Probably the same reason it matters to you about what internet people think they know? It is what it is. But to be completely honest your point is flawed. You basically said if you don't know about something first hand you shouldn't care or think about it. By that logic someone needs to shut down the IC right now there's no reason for anyone to post any longer.

    But since you opened the thread for discussion help me understand why you don't apply your own logic to those you're speaking about? Like why do you care so much if you're not (the rappers) friend or in his set or even the topic of internet gang experts threads or statements.

    Just sayin...it ain't a big deal but it goes both ways.

    1. Not everybody on the internet is lame and be on the computer all day... its 2011... its ALL kinda folks online, gangsters, thugs, regular blue collar folks, etc.

    2. Gangs started in NYC... when immigrants came to America in early 1800s (maybe even earlier) some died and their kids became oprhans. In order to protect themselves they formed gangs. However they participated in petty crimes (theft, battery, etc.)

    3. Big street organizations/MOBS/ Nations (10,000+ members) started in Chicago. Folks believe black gangs started in Cali, maybe they did, however they werent as ORGANIZED and STRUCTURED like Chicago organizations.

    4. ANYBODY can become blood, crip, gd, vl, etc. today without any formal iniation (sp.). A person can LITERALLY wake and claim any gang. There's no structure of heirarchy in most, if not all gangs.

    I know I'm saying it kind of shows how far back gangs go and how they are different from what we see in modern gang culture

    The difference is, big tobacco companies aren't turning the inner city in to a blighted war zone so they can sell their goods.

    They arent really that much different though...maybe some motives and processes have changed and been alterd but its not as different as you might think...the rudementary idea of gangs has remained pretty similar

    I agree, as long as things like poverty and drugs are in our communities gang culture and violence will exist

    False. There are plenty of conversations to be had. But because this is the internet, it's damn near inevitable for people to start speculating on things they have no knowledge on i.e. celebrities personal/private lives. All I'm questioning is why people care so much about what they are clearly ignorant of? And then proceed to speak on such things as if they actually know for fact.

    That's like a teenager trying to tell you about 90's Hip Hop because they heard a couple Biggie and Pac records. It doesn't work like that.

    True! lol cause ? would get real. When a rapper gets popular enough, at SOME POINT they're going to have to come through Chicago because it's such a big city. And if you're from here, you know that downtown is a dead end between the Southside and Westside and even Northside. In other words, no where to run.

    With that being said, I haven't heard of any rapper catching a bad one in the Chicago in a while now. Waka Flocka gets alot of love here for example whenever he comes through.

    I am What I am..and real ? know what I mean.

    That's my whole issue with the false flaggin.

    Why even claim a gang after you've already became a millionaire or successful artist.

    To the t/s, you don't have to know Lil Wayne to be able to figure out that he's a phony gang member. He was a Hot Boy since 13 or 14, how can he be a real Blood after he was almost 25 years old.

    He might've been put on by some real Bloods or be affiliated with some, but he has no credibility to claim something that he put in now work for.

    The same gang that little kids are dying over while he gets to sit back in his multi-million dollar mansion and hide behind his bodyguards.

    Dipset used to rotate through different tips on the south side and out west doing thangs for real. waka get love like that cuz so many of them shawties on that cutthroat wavelength his music and persona tend to be on.
    You hear 'bout rick ross delaying his show cause marks wanted to split his wig for having chairman hoover's name in his mouth? ? had to call in a favor with j.prince who had larry hoover jr show up to save that ? .

    theres a whole nother level than that blood and crip ? in the go. i lived in l.a. and it aint sweet like that but at the same time they way more layed back than the city. i done lived on 62nd and winchester, 66th and green, marquette and marquette, 53rd and lowe and 68th and harvard. i felt like i was floating thru candy;and out in l.a. i remember when the folks on the low end had the projects on lock with snipers and ? bucking from window to window across buildings. a ? got executed in my alley and one time we caught a dopefieen taking a ? in the gangway.

    Thats also because chicago gangs (barring the spanish ones) arent as popular outside of their areas as crips or bloods are outside ofcali...but i remember being in cali 10 years ago and some bloods n crips dont know what a lord or disciple was. And they had no presence at all on tv outside of the midwest 10-12 years ago...hard for these people to imitate ? theyve never seen. Not to discredit chi gangs or nothing but theyre gangs werent as well known.

    In atlanta though years ago people knew of and claim gd stone and lord because of all the chicago implants running from gang life and all the kids from the suburbs of chicago wanting to be hard in front of these country ?

    Yeah I saw you mention that earlier today. Where did that Ross incident take place? In the city or in the South burbs? It's crazy that that would happen when everytime I go to the club and BMF comes on, the ENTIRE crowd erupts over the "I think I'm Larry Hoover" line. Folks don't get mad, they just throw up the forks and party like usual.

    To the rest of your post, that's real. I was born in raised in Terror Town so I know what you're talking about. And it's been summertime so ? are at war.

    Let me guess. You think that just because someone is from the suburbs that they aren't in a gang? Chicago's suburbs aren't stereotypical happy go lucky white picket fences and ? . Someone on the IC got shot and killed early this year in a south Chicago suburb.
