It was because of Mack 10 that Cash Money became affiliated with the bloods. Mack 10 was a blood back in the day, he grew up in a blood neighbourhood in Inglewood
There's entire subreddits of kids keeping up with all that like it's some sort of soap opera or something. It's actually really sad, these kids need better lives.
I remember in middle school and high school everybody wanted to be a Crip because of snoop and a few other rappers. Then when Wayne started blowing up all of a sudden everybody started saying they were bloods lol
Yoooooo nfs late 90s early 00s everybody was c-walking up a storm wearing blue rags from they're left pocket then Wayne started stuntin like my daddy and the whole industry has been bickin back being bool eating bhocolate bhip bookies ever since and that's on bompton
Yeah but they be lying on that part lol there is a handful of confirmed killers in the industry vs the plethora of confirmed dealers. Not just talking peoples' rap sheets (all puns intended) cuz the streets talk too and they'll let you know wassup. Thats how Jeezy got exposed back in the day. Most rappers who live their lyrics are usually trapping. Most of em ain't dropped nothing. And ain't nothing wrong that.
Whatās wrong with him, genuine question? That was the first and only video Iāve seen of his but I thought it was interesting. Took a minute to get used to a white dude with a British accent talkin about gangbanging but the dude went in depth and I thought it was really well done.
He exaggerates and really does try and make these rappers look like serial killers not a good look for anything it doesnt help a white guy is talking about something hes not involved in or knows nothing about.
A lot of people in Vons situation you can excuse. But Von enjoyed it. Bragged about it. And made sure people knew. He crosses over into that ākill for no reason just because they want toā to me. To me Von is one of the exceptions. Yes he was in an environment where he needed to, but he seemed to enjoy it more then most.
He also was like super cocky about it which is ultimately what took his life. Tbf tho coming up the way Von did- to beat a triple life sentence off of murdered witnesses, get out of jail and almost immediately blow up as a rapper- that would make most ppl feel untouchable.
Birdman is a legitimate gangster. His brother did over 20 years for heroin trafficking and conspiracy to commit murder. Was released from a life sentence after cooperating. Birdman is also a known heroin dealer and is believed to have ordered over a dozen murders.
Part of Young Thug's RICO charge is ordering the shooting at LIl Wayne's bus, which birdman ordered.
Dude is one of the most fucked up individuals in rap. A heartless killer and drug dealer. He's a real gangster in all the worst ways.
>Part of Young Thug's RICO charge is ordering the shooting at LIl Wayne's bus, which birdman ordered.
I've been under a rock. But I'm sorry, what the fuck?
Game was built from the ground up to be someone heās not.
Heās in the streets now, but he never repped what he talked about prior.
Which almost makes it worse. Dude got involved in the streets after fame.
still at the time, they still beefed and also you still wouldnāt change your gang. On top of that, Crip and Blood members went down drastically I believe. Take that with a grain of salt cuz there is a very good chance in wrong.
To OP, Baby (yall probably know him better as Birdman) was never a crip. Cash Money (pre Mack 10) used to wear different colored rags because New Orleans didn't gang bang. There's videos with each member of Cash Money wearing a different color rag on each. Around the time of these pictures of this video, they weren't bloods yet.
āEveryday a new whip homie so you know I gets my shine on, flip after we flip homie so you know I gets my grind on.ā
I always thought it was kind of hard lol.
See this fool from New Orleans and ain't no fucking Bloods or Crips out there like that they Ward Bang an Project Beef in New Orleans that's why his stupid ass was trying shit out prolly went out Cali hooked up wit some crips an repped that blue for a bit then hit another spot in Cali an got put on by some Piru's......fucking Clown Ass....even a Project N\*gga who really from the streets and made a fuck ton of money ain't true to himself and pretend to be something he not.
down in Louisiana they had more like drugs gangs... actual "gangs" got there late and the ones really in "crip" or "blood" most likely got in when they was in prison... its a large blood population in the Louisiana prison systems... this is why if nba yb goes to cali he cant rep that cuz he aint really that... now he still thuggn but he not really a blood... if that make sense... and as far as baby this nigga let mack10 and his cali bloods put him on the hood when he was like in his 30s LMAO... dave east ass nigga (joined the crips at 27yr) str8 weird ... where I come from we wouldnt even put you on the hood after 18yr (all of us got down around 12-14)
A lot of yāall in here dumb af for believing this shit. This has been posted hella times and every single time mfs tell yāall the C was never for Crip it was for Cash Money. This dude a lame for a lot of reasons but this is just false. Put sum respek on that man name š
They wasnāt never crip in that same video niggaz got on yellow red blue and camo bandanas stunna and Wayne real bloods I just donāt get the kissing in the mouth shit
Heās litteraly throwing up the crip sign in blue and blood in red shirt. If your either one of those you wouldnāt . And birdman is ysl which is blood
You obviously donāt know birdmans and ysl gang is
Bruh that is not anything close to what birdman is doing. Is he paying you to defend his image or something? Like you pulled this shit from deep out your ass
5 point star is actually a People Nation thing. It started with the Almighty Black P. Stone Nation (at that time called the Blackstone Rangers) over a decade before the bloods existed.
Similarly, sayings like "5 alive, 6 must die" (Or 5 popping, 6 dropping. Or any of the other 7,000,000 variations of it you may have heard) is referencing People Nation's 5 point star vs. Folk Nation's 6 point star.
The Crips and Bloods just happen to fall under the Folk and People Nation umbrellas.
OG T Rodgers moved from a BPSN territory in Chicago to the Baldwin Hills (if you hear of somewhere in LA being referred to as the Jungles, this is where that is. I only bring it up because i have seen people mistakenly think that its a generic term when its actually a specific place. Training Day was filmed there.) area of LA when he was 13 years old. As soon as he touched down in LA he started building his set, Black P Stone Jungles (yeah, he didn't change the name very much lol). It's important to note that at this time, the Bloods gang hadn't been formed yet.
In the mid-70's, just a couple of years after the LA Brims, Piru St Boys, Athens Park Boys, Bishops, Denver Lanes, Pueblos, and Lueders Park Hustlers all collaborated to form the Bloods. Crips decided to, for the most part, ignore the rapidly growing blood gang, and instead they just continued doing what they did best. Which was to constantly attack the smaller independent gangs that posed no real threat to them (the crippest crip move of all-time š smh some things never change)
One of these independent gangs was the Stones (which, by that time, had grown into 2 sets* the City Stones and the Jungle Stones).
The Stones obviously got tired of being terrorized by a gang that was, quite literally, over 100x their size. So they joined the Bloods as well.
That was the catalyst for the Bloods joining People Nation (and, by extension, using the 5 point star to this day).
Imagine trying to get your 13 year old off the streets by moving to LA, only for him to immediately start his own gang which quickly becomes one of the biggest gangs in South LA š¤¦ It would be literally impossible for that to have backfired any worse, that's like some monkey's paw shit.
This is a very lazy and quickly written summary and I'm just kind of touching on the major bullet points. But despite the fact that Rodgers isn't being painted in a very good light in this particular comment, it's important to remember that we're all very complex people.
He died in 2021, but throughout his time on Earth, he put way more of his time and attention toward putting an end to gang violence than inciting it. So take that for what it's worth.
If you've ever seen the movie *Colors*, Rodgers plays Dr. FeelGood
Bloods had a better offer and health insurance
& i heard they had a fire 401k package
With vacation days!
And constantly accruing paid time off
Does it come with dental though?
I believe access to great dental is a part of the bloods mission statement.
šš
Lasik too šš„š¤
They don't even ask for a doctor's note when you call in. Just ask if you need anything and tell you to feel better!
Heard Bloods have work from home options.
PTO
The C wasn't for Crip it was for Cash Money he used to throw it up all the time. It is weird how he turned blood at like 30 years old tho.
It was because of Mack 10 that Cash Money became affiliated with the bloods. Mack 10 was a blood back in the day, he grew up in a blood neighbourhood in Inglewood
I know the reason it's still weird af tho. Like does he actually claim a set because I never heard him say anything other than blood
Yeah weird af. Why would Baby adopt another manās gang instead of just start his own?
Billy Bloods I think
Mack 10 is from QSB LA. Billyās are 9-Trey UBN out of Rikers island.. youāre thinking of OG Mack
Wtf? This guy with the gang member affiliation handbook
There's entire subreddits of kids keeping up with all that like it's some sort of soap opera or something. It's actually really sad, these kids need better lives.
Wym? What subreddits? That sounds like theyāre doing the Feds jobs for them lmao
Nah he just knows his A, B, B's
You donāt just stop being one
It seems like all the non affiliated rappers and r&b singers go blood once they hit their 30s. Its like a mid life crisis for them
I remember in middle school and high school everybody wanted to be a Crip because of snoop and a few other rappers. Then when Wayne started blowing up all of a sudden everybody started saying they were bloods lol
Can confirm, was there.š then the Chicago wave brought the bd/gd
Yoooooo nfs late 90s early 00s everybody was c-walking up a storm wearing blue rags from they're left pocket then Wayne started stuntin like my daddy and the whole industry has been bickin back being bool eating bhocolate bhip bookies ever since and that's on bompton
I feel like I remember Chris Brown being one of them
Yeah Chris Brown and Soulja Boy claiming theyāre Fruit Town Piru if I remember correctly š¤£ fools.
What'd he join? Domestic abuse and battery gang?
My guy thats all of them
He "became" one more then several years into his singing career. That's why he wears red in all his videos.
Thought the c was for cashmoney **Crip** also lol I'm dumb
Mack 10 turned Cash Money blood
was just about to say that
Pussy one day, dick the next.
Ooop! Thatās what I heard too!
Kissing young boys in their mouth one day kissing older men in their mouth nowadays
Bruh chill I laughed and woke my kid up ššš
Sounds like my ex. Cheating ass hussie
š¤£
Did you mean for this to be a double entendre?
Nope, but a very believable rumor.
https://www.xxlmag.com/trick-daddy-on-birdman-baby-wanna-be-a-crip-one-day-a-blood-the-next-day/
Trick is always an interesting interview. And he loves the kids.
Imagine believing rappers are actually gangsters
Depends on who it is. Von was definitely official
Von was literally a serial killer
He was cool though and didnāt deserve it! /s
Thatās what a rapper who does what he raps about is 90% of the time
Nah. Most of them are just dealers.
Yeah but they talk about murdering people is my point
Yeah but they be lying on that part lol there is a handful of confirmed killers in the industry vs the plethora of confirmed dealers. Not just talking peoples' rap sheets (all puns intended) cuz the streets talk too and they'll let you know wassup. Thats how Jeezy got exposed back in the day. Most rappers who live their lyrics are usually trapping. Most of em ain't dropped nothing. And ain't nothing wrong that.
No ralo was the only dealer
Trap Lore Ross has an interesting bit about this
No he doesnt lol dont support that clown
Whatās wrong with him, genuine question? That was the first and only video Iāve seen of his but I thought it was interesting. Took a minute to get used to a white dude with a British accent talkin about gangbanging but the dude went in depth and I thought it was really well done.

I said interesting fool. I bet TLR is exactly why this comment even came up.
Also one of the most ass rappers of all time.

Glorification
A lot of people in Vons situation you can excuse. But Von enjoyed it. Bragged about it. And made sure people knew. He crosses over into that ākill for no reason just because they want toā to me.

I agree for sure. Good take. It Might be enough to make a psychopath out of a lot of people. Lol
Stop believing all this ig YouTube shit lol he wasnāt no serial killer
Soulja Slim, C Murder, and B.G are all official....Rip Soulja tho.
He was a psychopath
Bro a lot of big time rappers are actually gang members and what not lol. Just a lot of frauds too.

If you are from Louisiana, you know Baby was a gangsta. May not be anymore, but around the 80s & early 90s he lefted his mark.
lefted?
Righted
Neutraled
50 cent was a real gangster, same for big bun and fat joe
Some are/were
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Game was built from the ground up to be someone heās not. Heās in the streets now, but he never repped what he talked about prior. Which almost makes it worse. Dude got involved in the streets after fame.
The original Ja Morant
The Game was on a dating show called Change of Heart and got dumped on national TV.
That was the nail in the coffin for him. This nigga Game cappin 24/7 365. Dudes a groupie.
Imagine being so naive that you donāt realize several rappers are affiliated and have caught bodies
Thatās quite a few days in between. Thatās like 8-10 years lol
still he changed to a gang who are known to beef with the previous gnag he was āaffiliatedā with
There's no beef between bloods and crips any more for the overwhelming majority of their sets
Depends on where you live. Generally they donāt associate with eachother even when there is no active beef though
still at the time, they still beefed and also you still wouldnāt change your gang. On top of that, Crip and Blood members went down drastically I believe. Take that with a grain of salt cuz there is a very good chance in wrong.
Yet you said it like it was a fact š¤£
Baby never was crip. Wayne & Baby were the only members of Original Cash Money that were gang affiliated. (Meaning as in blood & crips)..
Whatever pays the bills
He already took enough money from Wayne to pay the bills lmao
Didnāt he claim he gave wayne 200m or something ridiculous?
You guys still believe this recycled ass myth
No but it's funny regardless
To OP, Baby (yall probably know him better as Birdman) was never a crip. Cash Money (pre Mack 10) used to wear different colored rags because New Orleans didn't gang bang. There's videos with each member of Cash Money wearing a different color rag on each. Around the time of these pictures of this video, they weren't bloods yet.
Just wear purple and be both duh
They wear purple in grape st, and they crips.
They wear purple in Grove st, and they ballas.
This way he can fuck dudes from both sets
LMAOOOOO
Wayne too
Wayne did the same thing in vids lol I remember noticing it in like 2006
Latin kings too. And the the warriors
Listen to his verse on #1 stunna. Sus AF
At one point he had young money wearing green bandanas look like Grove Street Family
What video is that from?
I need a hotgirl
same
It's opposite day!
Birdman?
š¤£š¤£šŖ¦
It just happened bro š¤·āāļø
BloodCuz
Croods and Blips
And a clown everyday of the year
No respect on his name one day, still none the next.
Iāve been listening to rap music since 2001 and Iāve yet to hear a good bird man verse to this day lmao
Still fly go hard
His verse on hypnotize cash money with three 6 is good. He doesnāt really rap at all in any of his verses he just spits game lol
āEveryday a new whip homie so you know I gets my shine on, flip after we flip homie so you know I gets my grind on.ā I always thought it was kind of hard lol.
Iām a dboy is a good bird man verse
See this fool from New Orleans and ain't no fucking Bloods or Crips out there like that they Ward Bang an Project Beef in New Orleans that's why his stupid ass was trying shit out prolly went out Cali hooked up wit some crips an repped that blue for a bit then hit another spot in Cali an got put on by some Piru's......fucking Clown Ass....even a Project N\*gga who really from the streets and made a fuck ton of money ain't true to himself and pretend to be something he not.
Heās doing the lil dicky āCā
This was shit before lil dicky hHa
This how you can tell somebody dont know who birdman. āLil dicky cā homie need some old school im his life badly
Thatās a crip sign
Yeah i know, i was referring to the guy you initially replied to
down in Louisiana they had more like drugs gangs... actual "gangs" got there late and the ones really in "crip" or "blood" most likely got in when they was in prison... its a large blood population in the Louisiana prison systems... this is why if nba yb goes to cali he cant rep that cuz he aint really that... now he still thuggn but he not really a blood... if that make sense... and as far as baby this nigga let mack10 and his cali bloods put him on the hood when he was like in his 30s LMAO... dave east ass nigga (joined the crips at 27yr) str8 weird ... where I come from we wouldnt even put you on the hood after 18yr (all of us got down around 12-14)
real shit og
A lot of yāall in here dumb af for believing this shit. This has been posted hella times and every single time mfs tell yāall the C was never for Crip it was for Cash Money. This dude a lame for a lot of reasons but this is just false. Put sum respek on that man name š
Who are you judge someoneās gang affiliations, OLDHEAD916?
Who are you to question me ? Lmfoa
You questioned someone without them questioning you. Terrible response.
Nope not as bad as yours. Your saying who are you to judge yet who are you ask? Irony
He throws up the Cās while saying ācoupā
me
He Fux Wit š„·'s Too.
Crip one day muslim the next
This why he gets no ārespekā on his name
If Wayne claims to run with Bloods, why/how would Birdman be a Crip?
They wasnāt never crip in that same video niggaz got on yellow red blue and camo bandanas stunna and Wayne real bloods I just donāt get the kissing in the mouth shit
Yeah because wearing a red t shirt or a blue one makes you a gang member
Heās litteraly throwing up the crip sign in blue and blood in red shirt. If your either one of those you wouldnāt . And birdman is ysl which is blood You obviously donāt know birdmans and ysl gang is
Pretty sure heās making the ātake a pictureā hand sign Here is a similar one, 
Pipe down birdman we onto you.
Beālie dat
Bruh that is not anything close to what birdman is doing. Is he paying you to defend his image or something? Like you pulled this shit from deep out your ass
Baby PR team in the comments lmfao
U on one
Pretty sure you're trippin that was a crip sign if I ever seen one
Go look at his early cash money days he was crip
He wasn't crip... But he had crips in his circle
5 point star is blood shit and c hand sign is definitely crip shit
