Compton is city in itself...South Central is a region of Los Angeles. I wouldn't imagine that Compton has more gangs.

[MARTINEZ]

i remember when I was in Y.A. when that song by South Central Cartel had just come out w the lyrics:

"...its not Compton, whats up punk, its South Central!"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urwf21ocXBo


the vatos from CV Tortilla Flats were mad as fuck and they would say, "we are South Central"

so I cant speak on the black gangs but there was a time when Compton varrios considered themself part of greater South Central L.A.

also keep in mind, in the 1980s thru 90's, the name "South Central" had nation wide notoriety and was equivelant w gang violence

......

also, before the 310 area code, Compton was 213 same as L.A.

real shit, in Y.A. we clowned the fuck outta the 1st vato we ever saw with a "310" area tattoo

"get the Fuck outta here, LOS will always be 213 ... keep it OG"

this was well over 20 years ago

South Central is an imaginary place, its not real, it is completely made up, infact you will never see a map of LA that says South Central on it.

[MARTINEZ]

i wouldnt say imaginary

to the vatos & niggas that push that shit... its way more real than a google map or city made map



but I feel what you're saying, if you wanna get technical, its SOUTH L.A., only a section of the City of "Fallen" Angels



I dont know too many gang members that are technical tho especially when theyr'e young & actively bangin'

thats why you have cats claiming Compton, even tho "technically" they're in Willowbrook or Rancho Dominguez

to them its Compton... point blank period.

The difference to me = a line in the sand

Compton is an E/S city with a W/S within the city limit borders (Avalon Blvd basically is the west border being that Compton don't have uniform borders like most other cities)

If Compton was a district of L.A. like Watts or Hollywood then it would all be E/S (that's why I said its an E/S city)

Same toilet different toilet tissue is how I look at it at the end of the day.

Compton is adjacent to Watts which is the Eastside, but Compton as a City has a westside and eastside within it.

I thought "South Central" was the official name up until a few years ago and got changed to "South Los Angeles" because othe city council didn't like the South Central name's association with violence.

I still call it "South Central." Just like I still call "Westfield Culver City" the "Fox Hills Mall", and I think most people still do unless they're new to this city.

They should have never changed the name of South Central or the Fox Hills Mall because we have to preserve our cultural traditions and history here in Los Angeles.

Was this before NWA came out? Because ever since Compton got put on the map, it seems most gangs from there want to be associated with it.

One thing I notice about Compton gangs compared to L.A. gangs, is as you said there are more hoods crammed in a smaller area so the hoods are smaller. Like a hood that's about 10 square blocks. Compared to LA where gangs can be more spread out like ECC which covers several dozen blocks.

[TheAngels]

I always thought Watts was grimier and more ghetto than Compton. Last time I drove through that area (Southeast side), Watts looked grimier than Compton.

I know Compton has some areas that don't even look like the hood, and has some gated communities as well.

I figure since Compton is its own city, the City Council and the mayor has to live in an area that isn't the hood. They must live in the gated sections of Compton.

From what I know, Watts was never a "nice" area, even back in the 40s & 50s when it was still mostly White. It was always a low-income area. My dad grew up in LA in the 50s & 60s and always knew of Watts as being the worst part of town, where the poorest people lived, and this was before the problems of gang violence. But Compton from what I understand did used to be a nice middle class area. If I recall correctly, George W. Bush lived in Compton for a short period of time in the 1950s when his dad moved the family there for a couple years.

@ TheAngels- I must agree. There are some very nice neighborhoods in Compton. When I used to do claims out there, I was surprised to see that there were Farms located in compton, horse's and everything. I can't think of one part of Watts that has nice homes. You have to be distinct on your boundries though, because you can think that you're in Compton but you're actually in Lynwood.

Yeah I know that "farm" area you're talking about on the south side of Compton. I think either the County or the City of Compton designates that section as a semi-rural area that lets its residents own livestock there. I also hear that part of Compton has the least amount of violence. There's a Crip set from that farm area called "Farm Dog Compton Crip" and they wear brown colors.

Another reason I say Watts is worse than Compton is that it also has so many housing projects in a small area. You've got Jordan Downs, Nickerson Gardens, Imperial Courts, and Gonzaque/Hacienda Village. These are among the worst projects in the city. I don't even know if Compton has projects -- I could be wrong, but I think a lot of them got torn down a while ago.

There are many differences in Compton and South Central. First it's the size. The CPT is very small like 10 or so miles with 70 gangs. South Central has more space and more gangs. Compton has borders and South Central has boundaries.Compton have alliances but not like South Central. All the Bloods in Compton are Pirus period. The Crips in Compton call themselves Baby Gangstas and live up to the name. I couldn't imagine a CC Rida set clicked up with a Piru set to go at another CC set or vice versa. Another thing Compton mirrors ECC and HCG based on all Crips in Compton end they set with CC. South Central gangs can never unite on some South Central shit. It's strange how its Pirus everywhere (Watts, South Central, Inglewood, etc) but the street is actually in the city of Compton. I would look crazy claimin Hoover in Compton because the dam street is in South Central. You don't see no Compton gangs claimin nothin comin from South Central or anywhere else. Even some of the original Grape Street Watts Crips come from the Grandees in Compton. The Crip vs Blood war is actually Compton. The Pirus are big enough in Compton to match the Crips. South Central is Cripland period. There's more but I'll leave it at this.

Nobody from Compton claiming anything from South Central ?

Where do you think Crips started from ?

Arent there Crips in Compton lol

And Piru's aren't the only gang in other cities

Crips & Bloods spread just as much if not more

[swanto57]

The Crip & Blood war is actually Compton ?

BlueMoon you must've been trolling when you said that lol

Pirus was running with Crips themselves in the beginning

Los Angeles Brims & Bps started the war with Crips and than everyone else got involved next so the original B vs C war is in South Central

There's more sets at war in L.A because the gangs are bigger with more members.Compton only has about what 14 to 15 Piru sets

In South Central there's about 29 or 30 Blood gangs and if you count Watts that's more since that's technically part of the Eastside city limits of South Los Angeles

Los Angeles Crips even war with the neighboring Blood gangs in Inglewood so yeah it's definitely more gangs at war in L.A

Though I'd rank Compton next and than Inglewood 3rd

[bgcasper]

first crips gang war was against richard miles family according to ac than carver park crips vs piru over zane it got squashed but got on again ...now most og es crips was in the front hood area og chita said they was getting robbed their cheque and frog from bounty hunters confirmed that ...so i would say first crip enemys green jacket bounty hunter 2 line i think pookie and most ws crips came after that era and them was turned up against chain gang that became family gangster and in the 80's turned bloods ... was richard miles fam bam the genesis of denva lane or swans ???
