I know the word "Bepopp" was a term that New York gangbangers used instead of the word "Banging" in the late 40's thru 50's....

1968 andI know for sho they was Hat Gang in 1968, by the time 1969 was here they were Brims. When I met the Brims they had just changed their names to Brims. i became a Lady Brim by the end of 68 or early 69.

Re: Re:
I think Hat Gang predates the Blood / Crip era, so they may have existed in the late 1950s and early 1960s during the post WW2 black gang era in Los AngelesOG Redbone wrote:LATE 70salexalonso wrote:what year did Hat Gang come out?Shox112 wrote:Bebop Watts got its name because from the bottoms down thru Central Av in Watts it was known as a strip where a lot of Jazz clubs and bars, and pool halls used to be...

Re: how did Hat Gang and Bebopp Watts originate
It was never the same gang, just a name coincidence. There were several gangs named for hats in those days - the Acey Duceys, Black Hats. Wearing a particular style of hat was a way of repping a gang in those days, so a hat oriented gang name was a natural.bgcasper wrote:so the watts kept their og name while the westside ones became brims
