T rodgers and other real bloods calling out names to fakes

[StillNoScript]

Couldn't agree more, with all of them.

I don't know much about T. Rodgers, what he's about in life, but he's an intelligent man at the very least and him and the other Bloods in this video are absolutely right.

There's a youtube out there of Monster Kody Scott saying basically the same thing about Ice Cube...instead of pretending to be a Crip, save some Crips from the hood. Funny thing is, Ice Cube never said he was a Crip. And he hardly dresses like one. Yet, he got the attention of some veteran Crips somehow. So, if gang members get offended by rappers even subtly aligning themselves with gangs, you can imagine the disrespect they feel when someone's outright claiming their gang and waving the flag, when they live in West Hollywood and don't have to face any of the dangers that gang members do, as the one guy said.

Good video. Is it part of a bigger documentary film? If so, what's it called?

What do you mean the way Boyz n the Hood is put out? It's a movie. He's acting. The character he plays is a gang member, probably a Crip considering the wardrobe. He's supposed to act like a Crip, just like Joe Pesci is supposed to act like a mobster in Goofellas and Casino, even though he isn't one.

As far as him C Walking, I agree with you.

Why do they let them buy their way in? so they can work for as protection when they go to L.A or summin ?

[looney]

i gonna buy this dvd because it finally exposes fakes my thing is this why real bloods like big wy, jay rock and boo yaa tribe hang with fake punks like lil wayne, jim jones and birdman? or is this a business level type banging to where you pay a fee to become blood grown men being gangsta, also i feel that new york bloods that bang the 5 are trying to get in good with cail bloods because they know they fake, but i know some real wescoast bloods aint falling for that fake crap. thats why it dosent pay to be fake because in the end you gotta answer to somebody and you will get checked and when you do its gonna be curtains.

No, I mean on the movie cover...the way it's layed out with the title. (Cube grew up in a NHC area). Maybe it's just me being overly perceptive, but it seems like that's what it was going for.

Actually, you could be right. I never noticed that myself. And, that would be just as much on John Singleton as Ice Cube.

I have to tell you, I don't know about Singleton back in those days, either.

Watch the BoyzNtheHood special features. Singleton talks about how some guys from Jungles were trying to get on the set, and his security scared them away. That's doubtful. Maybe the police ran them off but no reputable gang in LA is being ran off by rent a cops, or especially a bunch of dudes in plain clothes. It obviously would have gotten ugly.

Then, he talks about Bloods starting trouble at a Boyz screening at a movie theater, and the Bloods subsequently being beat down. He boasts of how he saw ambulances heading back to the theater as they were driving away from it.

Then, of course, the villainous characters in Boyz N the hood obviously being Bloods, portraying Bloods as older guys preying on adolescents, all the while portraying Crips as people minding their own business, not starting problems but finishing them, etc.

I like John Singleton as a film maker. He is a genius. But it's obvious he was kind of a wannabe in his early days. To his credit, though, in Baby Boy he avoided the B/C drama altogether and only had rivaling Crips in the storyline. That's a much safer route to go when trying to capture modern day South Central then delving into the Crip vs. Blood thing, as long as he's not being specific with Crip gangs.

so this vid is explaining that all these hot rappers like lil wayne snoop dre bought their way in the gang?

John Singleton grew up in the bottoms he wasnt trying to push no Crip agenda.

I don't think he does either. But I think he did get a little carried away in the Boyz N The Hood DVD special feature, where he talks about some of his Crip homies beating down some Bloods at a Boyz screening. JMO. There was no need for him to be specific. He also talks about his security punking some guys from Jungles off of his filming location. He could have just said they had to remove some guys who didn't have passes, whatever. He didn't have to talk about it all. But he did, and got specific. Doesn't mean he's a total wannabe or that he has some sort of agenda, it just means he gets a little full of himself sometimes just because he knows some Crips. That's all.

[cliffard]

what he says is straight up, why are people in the public eye promoting negativity to the young youths that grow up around pure negativity anyway, especially when these people really have no connection to it in the first place LIL WAYNE JIM JONES etc.
just wish he had more la bloods on there, apart from him and shazzloc that was it.
one thing that made me laugh i went to t rodgers myspace, by his age it says 38 years old!!! is his birthday 29 feb on a leap year??

[freegbizzle]

i saw this documentary it set the record straight on the 5 point star. good looking out
