You Can Stop Bangin..But You'll still be in A Gang..Just Not Active..For example Jay Rock Is A Blood He Got Jumped In So He's In It For Life..But He's Not Actively Banging Anymore So That Means He's Not On The Turf Around The Homies ,He's Not Fighting,Shooting,Stabbing,Robbing Or Anything He's Just Chilling But He'll Always Be Recognized As A Blood No Matter What He Does Because Thats What His Homies Know Him For And Thats What His Enemies Know Him For..
"The internet and weed kinda saved a lot of people's lives." True that! If one has no other outlet when their parents are gone, the streets will become that outlet
TDE is like a powerhouse. Schoolboy, Ab-Soul, Kendrick Lamar, Isaiah Rashad, Jay Rock, SZA.. Just the name a few, has the greatest potential in rap right now. Not shitting on anyone else. But you gotta admit.
Q beat me to the punch. When he started talking about how everybody coming up is now into weed and rapping (vs. banging) I was gonna say jerking really changed the whole mentality of the youth culture in south central. All of a sudden you're seeing skinny jeans and dancing, vs. baggy clothes and set tripping. Let me tell you, back in 2009 I used to get bagged on so hard by the dudes on my block when they used to see me in skinny jeans.
@@babygangster665 that's because most of the real gangbangers either in Jail or dead or some of them turned their lives around. I'm from San Diego & I work at a sushi restaurant in Beverley Hills & one of the main chefs that works with me is a Hoover Crip & he is one of the most friendly & funniest dudes I can hang out with. He's been banging since the early 90s & he spent a few years in jail & he changed his life around & he did a colarnary trade in prison & when he got out, they sent him to further his skills so he can improve & today he works at one of the biggest Sushi Restaurants & he be pulling in some of the young YGs from his hood to learn about cooking.
It didn't start off pointless when it began, but as the younger generation after the Original Gangsters that wanted to protect their neighborhood came in... It became self destructive and therefor pointless!
It's because there are way more people who don't want that life because it usually brings death or Prison. It's something people rather not touch so when a gangster opens up, we listen because it's interesting. That's why mafia and gangster movies do very well.
Because he is paid for the criminalization of young men.... Notice I didn't speak on color because it's irrelevant...(black,white,brown,etc) they don't want smart strong men. Because we are the ones that will fight back. #wakeup
On Hoover street I'm Big Nappyhead from Selo Hoover Los Angeles and I have yet to meet the Young Hogg Schoolboy q However that's lil bro like a Shining Star and He makes our Section look groovy.. Continue Groovy Q on Hoover the real lokz love and represent you as we do it Period....
some people can only be as smart as they can be. I mean School Boy Q claims he only raps about it but doesnt live it no more, and dresses totally different from that lifestyle. He should of named himself as a rapper Contradiction. Nah but honestly he seems like a very positive individual dude. This interview right here gives me the motive to give his music a chance to put to my ears. Because im very selective about who i choose to listen to. Its 2Pac allllllllllll day still homie !
What was he talking about when he said it used to be "apples oranges and grapes" is he talking about how sets used colors more back in the day, or is he talking about streets in Fruit town? Enlighten me please.
I know fuck all about gang banging but i think he means Apples = Bloods (probably only a certain neighborhood/s) Oranges = Hoover crips Grapes = Grape street crips
TheLegacyOfGoku ur right. It was a peace treaty. But u always have niggas out the loop that start bullshyt that real niggas dont let slide. So it's not like that anymore. Hoover been EBK 4 the longest tho. They will click with certain sets but they hold they own and are known for going at anyone who disrespects them in a whole. With that said they barely fuck with bloods bkuz one of they sets is still crip and if u beef with one hoover set then u beef with them all.
Cherry Voodoo He meant like now a days theres more peace and because of gentrification and housing initiatives the the old borders are a bit "blurry" and there is "grey area" as far as who you can kick it with.. Where as in the 80's and 90's, if you were from one set thats where and who you kicked it with .. if you were mixing relations (ie. you blood hangin with a crip(s) for any reason)it was very likely you'd get murked.. if not by the opposing click then by your own if they felt you were offending the set or not being loyal.
I was all over chicago handling business and chatting up with moors and some other ppl.My community just open a book store knee deep in southside where the wild 100's be and we had a open house there.Weve got buildings in chicago
He's 100% correct and if you think he's wrong you're just ignorant and small minded. Weed has saved many many lives in many ways. Often by giving people the ability to think differently about things, and when you learn to think differently it also helps you understand that you can go on different paths in life and that you're not stuck with only one option. Not trying to be a hippy about it, but I really do think that if more people smoked some herb everyday, I'm not talking about smoking a half zip and getting stupid high I just mean in a normal or moderate way, the world would be a much less violent, angry and divisive place.
Gang banging is a way of life that needs to end, because all it does is gives are youth bad reasons to die and spend the rest of there lives in prison. It doesn't help our community it only hurts. I don't see how you can be proud about destroying your own people, so I salute School boy Q for looking pass that and moving own to better life philosophies .
I don't doubt his authenticity in regards to his illegal past but I do wonder what exactly he has done for it to even be called gangbanging because he uses that word a lot but doesn't go into any detail whatsoever.
Why in the fuck would he go in detail about anything he actually did that could be traced back to him and get him incarcerated? Are you serious with this question right now?
I mean even going as far as talking about what he went to jail for, he's not going to jail again for talking about what he went to jail for. Besides, if that were the case then rappers like Rick Ross would be doing life sentences for discussing certain illegal activities that they may or may not have done. Rappers talk about killing, dealing, stealing, etcetera all the time.
It doesn't matter, I just think that the whole idea of vaguely bringing it up makes no sense. He should know that people will want and ask for details eventually so why set yourself up like that in the first place, especially since he refuses to provide detail. Also, he said the word gangbanging an annoying amount of times in this video. I guess you and I will just continue to see this from two very varied perspectives. I'm done with our little conversation. Good day. P.S. - I also find it kind of funny that the word authentic is in quotation marks in the title.
Its different when you have family from the hood you grew up and still hang out with the bangers but never joined the hood just get respect for being you're self LOL. Some times theres people who aint from the gang but family is and still go against another gang no matter what E's up
the members who know what's up understand this shit ain't a game and know love and peace is what's real not bangin on other because they got more money or cause you saw them on the street
And in the yr 2014 the internet has been mobile since at least 5or 6yrs on tablets and phones so how do you know im not in the street???Smh update yourself
I think it's a beautiful thing. Even though he is acting like he is high off powder (I don't know dude, so maybe this is just his personality) but everything he is saying is true. I've been down here 4 years, and people back home still think people in LA are walking around in Ben Davis and Chucks. That shit is ancient.... Personally, I'm glad the gang thing is dying down. It never made any sense in the first dam place...
if any of you think q is somewhat nervous.. it cause he is being cautious and trying not to say the wrong thing.. there some things in the gang world that gang members cannot talk about openly to ones who are not in the gang world .. so he is choosing his words. besides he doesnt go around throwing his flag in everyones face.. he dont need to.. he knows where he came from and im sure thats all he gives a fuck about.
My Nigga ScHoolboy Q! I fuck with this nigga's music! Definitely the Snoop Dogg of this generation, I feel like he could've done a musicvideo for the record My Hatin' Joint!

Gangster and strippers be watching TH-cam too, fools
Just cause you gangbang or are a gangster doesn't mean your raps are dope and just cause you ain't a street gangster doesn't mean your raps are wack.
You are 100% right but 90% of people are dumb and think the opposite so ...
Ganador24/7 who said it did?
dont rap if you not street
Aaron Marquez don't type if your not smart.
@robertrappa don't rap if you not street
You Can Stop Bangin..But You'll still be in A Gang..Just Not Active..For example Jay Rock Is A Blood He Got Jumped In So He's In It For Life..But He's Not Actively Banging Anymore So That Means He's Not On The Turf Around The Homies ,He's Not Fighting,Shooting,Stabbing,Robbing Or Anything He's Just Chilling But He'll Always Be Recognized As A Blood No Matter What He Does Because Thats What His Homies Know Him For And Thats What His Enemies Know Him For..

Love rashad he's great.

He was so right about the whole jerkers thing.
If you question his authenticity u probably don't even understand what he's talking about outside the drug references.

why is Vlad always focusing on the gang bangin
cause it's interesting as hell bro so secret so people wanna know
It's because there are way more people who don't want that life because it usually brings death or Prison. It's something people rather not touch so when a gangster opens up, we listen because it's interesting. That's why mafia and gangster movies do very well.
