[2PacThug4Life]

[LilTrigger]

yea quite a lot but i forgot what they were, u got any sayings?

and what exactly are Crips & Bloods i know they're gangs but can u explain dat a bit to me if u dont mind

 

[CalcuoCuchicheo]

What age are you?


As for your question, how much time have you got?

We could go through the background; from slavery, Black Civil Rights (MLK, Malcolm X, Rosa), black militancy (which bred the Black Panthers), the Black Panthers (with Huey P. Newton, Bobby Seale, Bobby Hutton at the beginning to it's continueing legacy today with Tupac Shakur, Mutulu Shakur, Kwame Ture, Assatta Shakur etc.), to the FBI & CIA's involvement (Cointepro & the like), the disintegration of the movement & it's splitting into the Crips &, later, the Bloods.

Then we could get into what they've been doing since their inception to now & the part they have played in street culture in America & Hip Hop culture. Famous events, members etc.

Or you could use Google & read up by yourself....

about the start of Crips and Bloods (plus many other gangs)

 

[CalcuoCuchicheo]

Nice one Glockmatic.

I knew there was a specific site that dealt with all that shit & that one actually gives you a lot of background whilst others provide you with the most general information possible.

Crips=Blue

Bloods=Red

 

[Pacaveli-T]

means when the bad stuff happens is what the term means.

 

[Pacaveli-T]

u could say when shit hits the fan r u gonna take it like a man?!

 

[LilTrigger]

CalcuoCuchicheo my age doesnt matter

and why did they choose

Crips=Blue

Bloods=Red

surely Bloods could of have chosen a happy colour like yellow, not red

 

[Glockmatic]

you know you could've just googled all of these yourself.

 

[Pacaveli-T]

and they tend to rob, rape and beat ppl down but thats certain ones and all but they do a lot of other stuff in other parts but of the ones I knew they did some of those I just named. Sucks.

 

[Pacaveli-T]

LilTrigger thats cute but the point is that these should not be happy colors it doesnt represent that and besides the latinos are yellow

''westside was the war cry bustin' all freely screaming fuck all ya niggas in Swaheli''


what did pac mean by that? and where is Nas from < origin


and Glockmatic im just testin ur knowledge

 

[Glockmatic]

he meant "Westside was the warcry bustin' all freely screaming 'Fuck ya'll niggas' in Swaheli" meaning the people were saying "Fuck y'all niggas" in Swaheli language.

Testing our knowledge or you're too lazy to google?

 

[CalcuoCuchicheo]

CalcuoCuchicheo my age doesnt matter

I just want to get a better idea of what the level of intelligence is like on the West Coast, London.

'Westside was the warcry' - he's representing the Westside

'Bustin' all freely' - shooting

'Screaming fuck all y'all niggaz in Swahili' - he wants his enemies to die & he's screaming in Swahili as it is an African language which many regard as the Mother tongue

Well since im the only one that lives there, i'd say its quite high

 

[CalcuoCuchicheo]

I'd have to disagree.

Oh & you ain't the only one who lives there. Look around there are people.

And before you say there is no West Coast, London wherever you're at is that place as you've just said it.

If your brain can't handle that think algebra.
