Hoover Groovers were a football team

[Troublehoov]

Hoover Crip was not hoover groovers before Crip,the Hoover groovers were a football team. Back in the day at Manuel arts,people use to think we were them,because some of our members hung with them... We just took the words and went along with it hoover Crip is hoover Crip and started in 1973

[alexalonso]

what started in 1973?

[Troublehoov]

Hoover crips started in 1973 and was never apart of the Hoover groovers they were their own gang.

The Hoovers before Crips existed since about 1970.

[jae]

That's interesting. What year did the Hoover Groovers end?

[alexalonso]

The Hoovers existed before they were Crips. The Hoovers were non-Crips then at some point in 1973 they put the Crip on it. So the question is, what where the Hoovers before they were Crips? Are you saying there were the Hoover (future Crips) and the Hoover Groovers a separate gang?

yep he was sayin that hoover groover was a football team in manual art wich is not in 92nd street so he was sayin those were two different things i mean thats what i understood

[Troublehoov]

Yeah the Hoover groovers were their own gang we considered them off brands the founder of Hoover is hoover Joe.

[Troublehoov]

I don't understand where some of this history is coming from. But I talk to Tony Stacy ,pretty Tony ,Randy they are all original Hoover's my uncle big crazy 1 from the original 94 Hoovers may he .h.I.p. they all told me the same thing the Hoover grooves were considered bloods they hung in the 40s.... Tony Stacy and pretty Tony were esc back in the day they were there for the Hoover foundation....

[alexalonso]

Tookie called them Hoover Groovers in his book, and apparently so did Willingham "Chocolate" Noal, the guy that was killed in 1972. He was killed on October 9, 1972 and he was a Hoover. Some people thought that the Westside Crips killed hom and others thought that the Figueroa Boys (i think) killed him. Whatever the case, he was a Hoover before they became Crips, which they did right after that murder.

[Troublehoov]

IDK I don't think Tony Stacy would make up a lie and say we wasn't hoover groovers. Dude probably was hoover groover but I was told that's not where we came from

[Troublehoov]

It's more to the story it's just they not giving it up

[alexalonso]

I aint calling anyone a lie. I just think people's memories are clouded. It's not easy to remember. Did you read Tookie's book? Do you think he is a lie?

[Troublehoov]

To be honest with you I was told he lied I'm not saying willingham noals wasn't a hoover grooves, I was looks that tookie was tripping and that we were never hoover groovers

[jae]

TroubleHoov... If what you're folks is saying is true, maybe these Hoover Groovers have something to do with the Hoover Family Bloods that existed over in the 30s. Any word on that?

[Troublehoov]

Probably so I'm about to go ask right now you can text me homie 2133612895

[VictoriousHTZ]

Just like many of these west los gangs

[HEADHUNNAGANGX4]

@troublehoov We wasn't no football team and we was "Hoova Grooverz" before the crip alliance. What they call you from the sett? I'm Lilman from 59HCG

I'm going to assume you're about 58. Kritter is hard to get information about the hoovers in their original days. So you can attest that you were def the Hoover Groovers. What Street was this on? And What was your relationship with the Hoover Family's? I grew up hanging out on 98th and Vermont, lots of old Hoovers there.

[Troublehoov]

I'm infant crazy from 52 homie. The homie shamrocc2, big crazy Dee Dee,gangsta tee, lil Walt Aka big baby crazy, big Killarney Kev, them the big homies just got off the phone with big chim chim and big ten speed. I used to say the same thing about Hoover groover until I was talking to big red from original 107 Hoover big hoola ray from original 74 and Tony Stacy and they all came at me in person and told me we wasn't Hoover groovers they told me 43 started that back in the days and they were a football team

[bgcasper]

43 was an old hoover set prior to any 107 112 52 59 94 or 90 so may be that hoover groover thang was the 43 ...it would be interresting an og 43 interview on that issue
