Which Gangs in New York City are official?

[ViciousRidah]

Chi Town did start the current style of bangin before the crips existed. But gangs and gangbangin in general has been around in the States for a while. NYC was gangbanging for a long time too, when colors meant the jackets you wore with your gang's emblem on them.

But anyway, a lot of topics and discussions on this board is always about Blood-this and Crip-that, there are many more gangs than just Bloods or Crips. And since we're talking about the East Coast and NYC in particular, too much undue attention is lavished on the UBN and East Coast Crips.

There is a map with territory and names of Gangs in Harlem, and those are just the ones documented. Most people who don't know what's going on in the streets, just assume that Harlem is filled with a bunch of fake Bloods, but they'd be wrong. Do your research before you make assumptions.

Again ,Gang warfare can even be documented in London in the 1800s, does that mean the gang lifestyle is the same as that of LA and Chicago back then,no it does not.

LA does not follow the style of Chi Town banging.

Your making broad categorizations,members only jackets are not the same as wearing a colors to represent gangs , a jacket with the gang name on it is something different, many people in LA were doomed if they walked into the hood with a wrong color, you can never have a innocent bystandard walk into a neighborhood way back when in NYC for wearing the wrong jacket because it was all members only.

A lot of those gangs on the map you just sent with the link consist of bloods and crips within these gangs.

NEW YORK had gangbangin before Chi or LA even had any real black population. That's a FACT!. ill even provide links on my next post for those who lack any sense of history. The only reason Chi or LA are ussumed to have started gangs is bcuz by the time America started to broadcast what the black community was up to, New York was deep in the drug trade and gangs became something of the past, and bcuz New York was more interested in gettin rich off the drugs n hustlin was the thing to do.
In the 1920s-1930s blacks in NY had already started forming gangs to protect their communities from the Irish and Italian gangs. THE PROOF IS OUT THERE. Niggz from Chi and LA are just so desperate for attention, that they wanna claim anything to call their own. Especially bcuz they know that NY started hip-hop, so they dyin to be recognized as the city/cities that started gangbangin. But the truth is m, NEWYORK STARTED GANGBANGIN. It was just never glorified bcuz money was more important and America had the Italian mobs to deal with.
LA started the Bloods n Crips... and Chi started vice lords etc. But NEWYORK STARTED GANGBANGIN in general.
Niggz need to get off NY dick n worry bout ya families bcuz LA & Chi niggz been jealous of NY since I can remember.

Like I said before gang warfare has always existed throughout cities, there were gangs in London in the 1800s there were gangs in Paris in the 1800s that also had gang war fare.But the modern day way of gang bangin did not exist in NYC back in the early part of the 20th century the same way the gang bangin in LA or Chicago did in the modern era of the 1960s to the 1990s. This kind of war fare is called gang bangin.

Chi Town had a black population way before the 1920s.it goes back to the 1800s ,SO PLEASE PROVIDE THE LINKS.

One of the black gangs of Harlem called the 40 thieves were originally Irish and Italian, the blacks in these gangs had to answer to these Irish Dudes.

The gangs of the 1920s and 1930s may have had a little fighting with the Irish and Italian gangs but, its a fact that Italian Mobsters were the overlords of Harlem in the numbers racket and Bumpy Johnson answered to the mafia,unlike the numbers racket in Chitown.

New York didn't start gang banging END OF STORY.

In no way how are they on yall dick, I thought you said Money is more important to you yall dudes in NYC why are you concerned with who started gang bangin?

As I said before Hip Hop is a totally different story,

Even nyc hip hop niggas ripped off shit that came before them like Dancehall Jamaican lifestyle and the old school playalistic soul funk dudes of the 70s, we don't even need to go there.Or do I need to explain?

Naw Family, you're wrong about that. Those gangs don't identify themselves as Bloods. Have you been in Harlem recently? I was just there this evening. West Coast cats want everyone to be following them, but that's not how it goes.

The LA style of Gangbangin is unique to LA, but that doesn't mean they started gangbanging. For instance, in Philadelphia there were black gangs even before the Crips formed on the West Coast. Just because these gangs didn't walk around with colorful flags and shit doesn't mean they're not gangbanging. In fact, even to this day, Philadelphia a city rife with gangs still do not have colors as a part of their lifestyle. In fact, it's looked at as pretty stupid since you draw the law's attention and just overall make yourself a target by wearing colors.

Those local gangs in Harlem do have bloods and crips in them,even though they are homegrown.I've been to Harlem and I have an idea of how the bangin is out there.

How do west coast cats want everyone following them when most of them have a problem of NYC bangers claiming their gangs.

You said they were black gangs in Philly before crips, well there were gangs in LA before the crips,there gangs in Chicago before the crips, and they were gangs in Chicago way before Philly had gangs, do you know Quincy Jones who is from Chicago was in a gang in the 1930s.

[ViciousRidah]

Quincy Jones was in a gang at a young age, during the 1930s to 1940s era in Chicago, I also already explained that they were gangs all over the world in different time periods they were gangs in London in the 1800s,did they set the tone for gang bangin in LA , do you really think these gangs had an influence on black gangs in Chicago.I think your having a problem with chronology do you actually think gangs of LA and Chi Town copied the model of gang war fare in NYC?
