New York gangs (Manhattan - Harlem) II

[purplecityhello]

ALMIGHTY LATIN KING AND QUEEN NATION (AKA LATIN KINGS)
Started in Chicago, Illinois, during the 1940s, this group is made up primarily of Hispanics. By the late 1970s, the Latin Kings were one of Chicago's largest and most violent gangs. The group spread to the East Coast in the 1980s through the prison system, where two inmates in a Connecticut prison created the Almighty Latin King Nation of Connecticut. They fine-tuned the concept of the Chicago Latin Kings and created a well-written King Manifesto, which incorporated prayers and religious beliefs. This gang, which spread throughout the Connecticut prison system, quickly became the largest gang in Connecticut. In 1986, the manifesto was added to in the New York prison system, and a group called the Almighty Latin King Nation was formed at the Collins Correctional Institution. Within a few years, the Latin Kings had spread through the New York state prison system, and onto the streets. By the early 1990s, New York City had hundreds of Latin Kings members, and this population grew into the thousands throughout New York State and nearby New Jersey within a few years. From 1995 to 1999, the ALKN were the target of a series of RICO investigations, which resulted in the arrests of hundreds of ALKN members in charges connected to racketeering and drug distribution. Today, the Latin Kings on the East Coast remain loosely connected to the Chicago chapters. The Latin King Nation struggles for unity and is seemingly finding difficulty in reorganizing to its previous size.

I DONT TALK TOO MUCH IM JUST STATING FACTS ON WHAT I SEEN WITNESSED AND BEEN THROUGH YEA BLOODS ARE DEEP AS HELL IN NYC LIKE 10-3 COMPARED TO LOCS BUT SOME OF THEM DONT KEEP IT FUNKY, NAH MEAN IF U COME TO NYC AND C WHAT I C U WOULD SAY THE SAME THING.3X

i stay in polo grounds, 8th ave side. And both you and i know gang violence isnt major outside of highschool. most cats stay on their own little side street. no set is sucker-free except dipset (inside joke). but seriously most the violence in harlem is drug-related. my 25 years living in harlem never have i heard about some crips riding by shooting up 15 bloods at the park or n e thing of the sorts. now there are isolated incidents but no mass murders where a whole sets gets "smashed"

Me... I'm in my 20'z. most of the guys that do the banging is guys in their teens. I only pop off if disrespected. My homies is guys that was putting in work for years and shit. I live in kanarsie, brooklyn where its both locs and bloods. Anyday u might run up on either... I could be flamed up and walk pass some dudes blued up. But nothin pop off. You gotta think more than just colors B! I dont feel the need to get at a ni99a just kuz he crip. Thats the shit that I was doing in my teens... get him for his blue flag. Im a lil older now. I see it happening and I think its dumb. But best believe, im still down for my hood. Im Piru 4 Life... I never ran never will. If a dude pop off im always ready to pop off. I done stepped to many of guys just off the fact guys was looking at me longer than he should. Real respect real. If I sense u fake whether u blood or crip, u gets no love. If you Blood, I will not Peace You! I've flagged past loc guys and they never popped off. My first thought is to think "Damn these guys is pussy!" But maybe it was just my lucky day. On another occassion, some pussy crips ran up on me threatening to kill me. When I say "Go Head" the ni99a doing the most talking is stuttering with his hand in his pocket, not doing nothing. Feel me?

I find myself walking by locs... I walk by Blood guys too B! It mostly be young guys flagging anyway. I've seen Bloods on K and Flatlands 92 and Flatlands... Rockaway and Glenwood... Seaview and Rockaway. Them guys is all over kanarsie but I dont give a fu--. Every blood aint your homie... young guys will realize that shit. Like I said it be mostly young guys flagging. And for me to get at a young ni99a is dumb. Im in my 20's fighting with some 16 or 17 year old. If I pop him, I dont get respect for that. I dont get no stripes. I dont advocate this Blood shit. I never recruited anyone to join this shit kuz the shit aint for alot of guys. If you crip, just stay off my block. Thats what I say. Me and my homies, we all older guys, 20 and better. Its mostly the youngstaz that disrespect, looking for stripes or the ni99a that just got down. I been in this since '98, so im thankful to still be here. My homie (RIP) turned blood in 2002 and got killed in 2003. Thats some shit!

Whoop Whoop!

A MAN WITH HIS HAND IN HIS POCCET POSE NO THRET
BESIDE TYPING THATS HOW MOST THESE NICCA ARE OFFLINE

now see at this point cuzzin is dolo so i just keep it movin..you know these bitch ass niggas followed my ass outside..and while im waiting for a cab just hung around the door tryin to look hard....

maybe its cuzz 5-0 was in the building but damn...i look at it 2 ways...

they either just some bitch ass niggas or they was thinking on the smart tip to not get nothing craccin cuz 1. they didnt know me and 2. cuz of popo...
either way..i gets in the cab and pull off...then..RIGHT THEN...they start hollerin some "crab crab this crab that" shyt...


its a lot of dudes out here pullin shyt like that..i didnt have no burner so i was just keepin it low....it was cold as fucc to so i just wanted to get home.....

Ive been across the country, dame neat across the world and i see all these cats every where rockin pink, Killa set that trend. From the slang to the overpopulous of dip dick rydin bloods. Harlem cant help but set trends. We started the screen print T, Miskeen is was started by some Harlem artist. all that custom ish cats is doing started back with dapper dan. P Diddy from Harlem and im sure you got some sean john in your closet somewhere. FUBU been on the globetrotters tip for a good minute.music-wise aside from hip hop, harlem's jazz troop have sold millions and even yin NY some one can tell you about taft johnson. so you might not see it on a local scale but globally this is the black mecca. Birthplace of the 5 percenters (who have chapters as far as london and cali), i agree with Q as far as everyone following trends, tryna be lil john or sumtin. But lets be real....im from the graveyard that crack built where we gots more adversity than opportunity, the first thing you learn here is u gotta make money and we do it well, from drugs to mixtapes-everything gets dealt here, and imma tell u like this "bangin dont pay no bills"

P diddy donated a learning center and instituted a youth recreational afterschool program for middle school students, he also frequents the barbershop on 138th and sups with niggas, Harlem respects the nigga as his own child plus hes done more for the children here than bloomberg ever will. and in the words of nas "does a tree grow in a pot? it can be planted there but it needs room to flourish. regardless of where you ended up, your roots are where you came from.

[purplecityhello]

oh yeah, dame dash is from Harlem too, he instituted the kingdom series team roc basketball tourney and built that gym on convent ave
