🤨 After losing my best friends to gang violence, 1 killed and 1 getting 40 to life for killing others, all this gang business is crap. It takes a real G to pick up a book, get educated, be present as a father/ mother when raising a family and contributing positively to the community. Eloquent or not, the lifestyle might have its allure for a moment but the worldly consequences are rotten fruit and the devil will be more than happy to receive your soul into eternal torment. The only understanding is that those who walk that walk, are disciples of the devil. The only glory one will find is despair and eternal darkness.

Let me get this straight. In prison you go from being "oppressed" to joining a gang. You join the gang but had to speak in code because Bloods were the minority? Typically, going from "oppressed" to "minority" leads to more oppression, but I guess this is an exception. The part of the story that they always leave out is at what point did the Bloods become the oppressor's?

I never had a “hood” mindset growing up, but one thing I noticed a lot in the hood is the peer-pressure at school which eventually pushes them into the harsh child-support system which then drives these men to do these things. I have a lot of friends who fell victim to this. ‘One guy messes around with some other girl at someone’s house party, gets her pregnant, they have an argument, the dude leaves her, she has the baby, locks him in a child support, he can’t or refuses to pay the child support, the child support agency is incompetent with communication, police come get him, he’s locked up, he has a record, hard to get a job, he resorts to trying to make money off the books either through crime or odd jobs, Bbm takes him to court, doesn’t have money for a good lawyer, public defender doesn’t care or doesn’t show up to court, court date is pushed back, no mail about shows up to the mailbox, police come get him again for failure to show up to his court hearing. Bbm doesn’t care because she uses the whole process as revenge for cheating on her. And it goes on like this for almost 20 years… and that’s assuming he hasn’t already assaulted her in any way. And the process starts all over again when her son grows up…

Grew up in low income projects in CT. In late 70’s I remember a kid from the neighborhood went out to Los Angeles and was killed by gang violence - in our projects we heard of “red” and “blue” and we started to wear colors (my group wore red) but something happened that diverted us - little league baseball - those same red t-shirts were now the colors of our neighborhood team. Soon after little league our neighborhood was introduced to MC’ing and the beginnings of HipHop culture. Little league and HipHop literally diverted us from going the route of gang violence - this was the late 70’s in CT - 20 mins from the Bronx, NY.

Italians invented the G code that gangsters use today . Also Italians didn’t like flashy … and kept things quiet , moved in silence, un like The bloods who were unorganized and messed with drug culture.

This gentleman had discussed on an intelligent level of the cause and effect of gang membership, the society within the gangs, to a sociological level.He also discusses music black culture the runoff into social media. In turn the worsening of crime. I’m from Brooklyn , grew up in a poor Latin but nice people block. But in the 70’s there were riots with the police a shooting gallery. I married a great community white cop who the people on his beat liked him. My uncles loved him. How do you change the lack of knowledge by the police? I wish you luck

Grew up in the hood, but I never understood the need, or feeling to join a gang?!?! Back in the 80's, we played sports, that was my gang!

Thank God this brother was able to get out that lifestyle some can’t he was able to realize what he was doing was wrong. That way is wrong. You’re a product of your own environment. He’s right sometimes you need a new scenery a new environment to change.

Wycoff & Gowanus was beefing when I was a youth. Gowanus parties used to be popping, always ended with some gunshots tho. One kid got hit in the back it was sad.

R.I.P. to homies brother. I remember when that happened I was a regular Tax Season listener so I was following the story pretty closely.
