StreetGangs.Com forum on gangs around the world

First off congrats on your success! My siblings and I were raised in neighborhoods with gangs walking streets as well as attending schools where their influence was strong. Sure, we too had gang members as friends but like you and your lost friend we never took to the gang life. My parents were immi...

Since you knew him growing up, would you say he was affiliated with any gang ties? Police tried to say he was a gang member, but people who know him say he wasn't. Did he hang with gang members? Despite what the police says The were completely wrong for shooting this young man and killing him. He di...

[quote="fitteddaboss"]wonder wat was goin on in his head...gotta be crazy 2 hear death! smh[/quote] I can't even imagine what was going on in his head listening and can't say anything about his future. I believe he was on suicide watch, too. He's young and I'm sure this was heavy blow. Unfortunately...

I checked out the L-Boy vid. Nicely done. He seems high but he gives good answers based on his career move to being a rapper. Did he say he was "active" in the gang still or is he now a "member" ? He seems older so i guess his putting in work days are over.

Black people don't have to stick together, I don't think that's the biggest issue in that community of people. The biggest issue is changing their mindset, period. By far, the majority has been raised to see and think that what they have is all there is, and to just accept what has been handed down ...

I was raised in South LA went to Foshay junior high and lived in various gang neighborhoods like the 20's 30's and 60's. I saw the gangs and tried to hang with them for a minute but I don't know much about most of the gangs i hear about on the board so I don't have much to input, but i come to learn...

I think it's cool Lil Sodi tryna hook up with Nipsy bc he he did say he's a man first. That's to be respected. He wants to make it big in this rap world so he's gotta make some moves in the right direction. He's thinking about his career and his future. If everyone thought like this then more ppl wo...

another one, just logged on, nearly 10 years on the board, 1 post. k1mbo bring something to the table!!! And you are from LA? hmmmmmm. I use to know a Kimbo in junior high school, which is in LA, too. I wonder if it is the same Kimbo. Hey Kimbo....if it's you what's up? He was tall, slim bald head ...

"Desensitize"! I really feel your passion and sympathize with you on this particular topic of abortion. Yet, I cannot say that I agree with you on your argument. Our world is desensitized to so many things that this topic is just another factor in the big scheme of things. Our country, for one is bu...

He was very honest, as you will see in 2 more vid's to come. He has been around and seems to know allot. He is very caring about his family and he expressed he enjoys cooking, and would have possibly been a chef if things had went differently. He is passionate about his new career. Basically, he wan...

I got to meet Boskkoe100 in the hood, his hood, Inglewood with SG during the interview. Got to know him a bit, he is Belizean!

One thing that Lil Sodi said during the interview that stuck with me and obviously he feels strong about his quoate as well becuase he also tweeted it.

Ma qoute"YOU A MAN BEFOR YOU A CRIP, Your Man BEFOR YOU BLOOD OR PIRU. LAAAA"

I like this guy!

I hung out in Pasadena with SG during the LBoy interview. It was cool! I got to meet LBoy and the interview went well.

One can argue that she has not met the "right guy" yet, but she has been meeting guys since college, law school, as an attorney, working as SF the and now AG. She is not a stupid woman so you can't say she dating the wrong men, (broke guys, thugs, and losers). Ask Willie Brown. he knows. What a foo...

In some areas it is true we shouldn't care about what others are doing because it's not affecting us DIRECTLY, but when you look at it in a bigger scheme of things......It may or it can. Let's just say: If you have kids, do you really what your kids to be influenced by something you don't agree wit...

@Martinez! LOL! Yea Mexican food is pretty tasty, but most of it is made old school, which is with lard. But, then again, probably all Spanish culture use the old school ingredients. I had to stop eating the good ole Belizean cuisine, myself. Besides the lard, corn and flour and meat made with lard ...

LOL!

Ice Cube looks like he was in the group "Full Force"

Why does something have to be either a lesbian or have something wrong with them if they are NOT married at a certain age. Ppl can and do choose not to get married. I believe also that her career came first. It is simply easier for a male to follow his career path, get married and have kids while hi...

[quote][/quote]Obama is not a real Black American!!! :shock: His daddy was a Kenyan national...his momma white...dude is a true African American....not a BLACK American. He has no roots to American slavery or the lineage of the "suffering" that it caused. His people have never been American slaves. ...

I notice that alot of gang members are cut and fit. The last 3 interviews i did with SG withthese gang members gone rappers have led me to see that at least the two of them were already cut and fit. The other one, was over weight but said he was starting to workout and had already lost some weight. ...

Is it possible that things are changing or on the rode to change now that we have a black president? I would like to think so. Black ppl haven't had a real leader since the late 60's and the msg being pushed them probably wasnt the best anyway. MLK's msg was non-violent but use laws and protest to g...

We have 2 be accountable 4 our own faults & failures & cease blaming the white man, the Hebrew man, & the 'system'. It's our fault if we don't try or give an effort. If 1 attempt don't work try something else till u get it. Feeling like America owes us something b/c of slavery is what keeps us oppr...

I think she is pretty! He was being a typical man, which is they are truly visual creatures and sometimes images take over and they cannot hold their tongue. Why can't the president give a compliment? To me, the question is would he have given a white woman the same compliment in public? Prob not! I...

Hillary Clinton is my role model in many ways, despite her strength and courage to stay with a man who cheated on her, for all to see their dirty laundry. That alone...get's my vote. Despite that this woman saw the flaws int he Republican party and LEFT IT alone! Yet, she didnt do that with Mr. Clin...

From a females prospective, I'd have to say woman are more open to explore the nature of same sex intimacy than men. Or, rather more open to let it be known. I've never been locked up but when I was in HS, there were gay girls in the locker room who tried to turn others out. Some females are strong ...

Larry Elder certainly sounds and spews message that sounds like racism against people of color, mostly African Americans. I, too listen to Larry, and I think I've come to understand his harsh response to his own ppl. I believe it's because his parents were no different from any other black person li...

I also listen to Kendrick Lamar but not his album, just the main stream stuff you hear on the radio. So far I haven't heard gang ties but just reppin his hood. He seems to rep a street savvy guy but not a hood, thug or gansta. I hope this is true because his followers need to see that you can be fro...

Let's keep it real here.....The sick reality shows do offer some entertainment. What's wrong with a little stepping out of your element sometimes to look into someone else's life. Humans live off of watching other ppl and comparing their lives to others. If your life consists of ONLY watching realit...

Yes, negative elements are always lurking around, inside or surrounding so called good neighborhoods. The best thing anyone can do is to live the best life possible, teach their children to do the same and hope things turn out good for your family. I grew up in South LA, 3 blocks south of the Slauso...

I definitely can't wait to see the interview with Lil Sodi. Did you know he sings too? He actually did grow up in the church singing, he explained in the interview. He has a great voice and he says he sings most of his hooks on his songs. So, he went to church despite having two gangter parents. Hmm...

Yes, there is! It took me a minute to grow up and realize that. I guess ppl learn sometimes the hard way or the easy way. I appreciate everyone for what they are and who they are, docile or not. LOL! However, I did come to understand I liked adventure and went with the adventurous types. Yet, this o...
