I don't really care about the direction this topic has taken but...... 50 did snitch when he told the feds to read his lyrics. You may want to call it cooperating or whatever but it's not something that can be co-signed by the streets.

Quote
Early in his career, 50 recorded “Ghetto Qu’ran,” a song about Southside Queens’ notorious gangsters that mentioned McGriff in the first verse. While 50 says he intended it as a tribute, some cite the song as an example of snitching. (According to court documents entered in the Murder Inc. trial, when Federal investigators questioned 50 about McGriff, 50 told them to read his lyrics.)

50 Cent - Ghetto Qu'ran


Here We Go! Thanks homie!!

i dont care about all of this but it's always good to see Coolio get respect.
 His first album a classic, i was like 12(maybe 13) when it came out and we loved it, his second album not so good(overall) , third album decent, fourth album dope, 5th alum fairly dope.
 Shame to see him fade out. I seen some REALLY fucked up pics of him. I think he living in Europe somewhere? (or was) he looked fucked.

The 3 first albums are dope.

Coolio makes a lot of money with royalties of Gangsta Paradise..and shows especially in Europe...but the crack spend some money...
why the fuck do you care mr theo?? wtf you gonna do, run up on him for wearing different colors or some shit? fucking clown

Don't panic homie...
The only clown in this forum is the type of dude
with a nickname Blunt Time Iz High.
You smoke to much pot..moron.
Tupac sig is hilarious. I like this type of stuff so I appreciate it. I never doubted Coolio for some reason. But I always wanted to know the truth about Ice-T and his gang affiliation.

This is the most accurate information what can be achieved.

The rapper Caz..long time Ice-T homie..he's OG from Rollin 60' ..He went to prison 2 or 3 times...

Ice-T located to the same neighboorhood(Crenshaw,coming from Newark...in 1973..on the year of Piru gang split...

Soon, Ice-T is a Rollin' 60' ..but he have a strong affiliation with the Hoover Crips too..


Check It Out Some Caz music :

Peace
Ok, I remember Spider Loc dissing him had me wondering even more.
Spider Loc - Deez Weirdoz [Ice-T Diss]


Publicity STUNT move. This guy was a "G-UNIT CRIP" WTF CLICK Is this?

While Spider Loc wore pampers..Ice-T was on air on KDAY AM.

You internet herbs need to understand you have no place speaking on anything pertaining to gang culture, or the streets in general. Spider Loc is a real Crip from LA and is vouched for in certain circles. It's fine that you're a big Ice-T fan, but don't let this industry shit fool you.

Oh yes...he a real Crip..but what makes you think he can diss a OG? Dude rides with 50 Cent...REAL Crip or Not ..he has no morals to diss Ice-T or another West Coast Vet...

"You internet herbs need to understand you have no place speaking on anything pertaining to gang culture, or the streets in general"

EXCUSE-ME ..GANGBANGER.

I don't know why he dissed him nor do I care. I'm sure he had his reason(s). All I'm doing is correcting your false comments about Spider Loc.

Don't let your ego pump you up, clown, you're in the wrong for speaking on shit you have no knowledge of. I don't have to be a gangbanger to be a person with principle and ethics.

By the way, that isn't Coolio. He's not from Shotgun Crips. Are you even from LA or California?
don't misquote me homie..i don't said false comments...read my posts again..
Spider Loc is a real Crip...but in music scene he dont make anything compared to Ice-t.
When a new artist disses a icon..for futile reasons..its clearly publicity stunt.
Aaaa you dont know shit about street knowledge...ethic..what about ethic man..who speak about no ethic in here? Fool

I didn't misquote you. You were clearly trying to insinuate he was a fake Crip by saying he claimed "G-Unit Crip," which isn't even his real set, then followed that up with, "WTF click is this?" And ethics have everything to do with this lol. You're speaking on things you know nothing about and are making yourself look like an idiot. Oh, and you do have "street knowledge?" Sorry, I guess we all can't be as in the know as you. Even if some of us really do live in California.

you have a problem..where's in my post I Wrote the word "Fake"?
you must have vision problem.

I don't called Spider Loc fake...i listened Spider Loc music in the past.

I just said, when SpiderLoc still in diapers, Ice-T was already making noise on KDAY. (Difference of Age)

The only thing i called out is G-Unit brand..50 Cent is a comproved snitch..


You should have plenty of Street Knowledge or you is a attention whore.

lmao, god daaaamn.  theo is getting ethered left and right in here .

No Homie. This guy is a fool . He can't read

By the way, that isn't Coolio. He's not from Shotgun Crips. Are you even from LA or California?


Mr. Gang expert Theo, why did you skip this part ? mind sharing that east european street knowledge with us and explain why you know everything about la street gangs and coolio´s affiliation
I'm not a Gang Expert. No I Don't live in east europe.

Yes..I've lived in Los Angeles. Nowadays no more. I moved from there.

I don't know "everything about" streets gangs and Coolio affiliation..I only talk to people.
To prove.

No, I understand very clearly what you said. Don't try to insult my intelligence, dude. "This guy was a G-Unit Crip WTF click is this?" Again, you were INSINUATING he wasn't a real Crip. You certainly weren't saying that in favor of him being a Crip. Explain that one. You didn't say he was a real Crip until AFTER I told you. Now you're trying to back pedal and make it seem as though you were saying something else when your own words are proving otherwise. Lol, I'm not an attention whore I'm just tired of seeing you weirdos run your mouths about shit that you have no knowledge of and, therefore, have no business talking about. Then when people like me come along and check you on it, you try to argue and act tough instead of admitting you're wrong.

Also, you can go ahead and eliminate Ice-T being a Rollin 60 from your memory bank, because he's not. It's funny how he's such a "super OG" yet none of his internet cheerleaders know what set he's from. While you continue your search for that, Mr. Street Scholar, would you be so kind as to provide me with the legal documentation that proves 50 Cent is a "comproved" snitch? Surely you know that you can't call anyone a snitch without the official paperwork that verifies your claim. Please spare me the typical "he said, she said" answer. If you don't have the paperwork then skip this question.

I also find it amusing you follow an account called "the crip world" on Instagram. That must be where your vast wealth of street knowledge comes from.

You're the kind of guy who thinks knows everything..you don't know shit..you only says" you don't have knowlegde" "you don't say nothing" "you don"t prove with/ legal documention" ..HOMIE PLEASE.! LEGAL DOCUMENTIONS? you should be of FBI or CIA...hahaha

You a tired of weirdos? And i am tired of shit people...
People who think they can dictate what the other will talk or not.

"You didn't say he was a real Crip until AFTER I told you" you affirmed things that only exist in your mind.
If you think this,you wrong my boy!

Don't play me fool..You're the kind of guy who likes to scold others, for what? For attention.

If you think i am "a stan DJ Quik weirdo with non street tknowledge" It's simple..don't respond or quote my posts no more..is a favor that you do.

It will be a pleasure for me also not comment on your texts.

Stay with your "street knowledge".



LOL, I don't think I know everything, whatsoever. You seem to be projecting your flaws on to me. But, I sure as hell know more than you seeing as how I've shut down EVERYTHING you've said in this thread. Why? Because I'm speaking on what I know and you're not; you keep putting out false information. That's the moral of the story here, Aesop. I never said anything about you being a DJ Quik stan so please leave your insecurities at the door. FBI and CIA? You obviously have no clue about how things work in the streets. How do you think people find out who's snitching? You just exposed yourself even more, clown. You're damn right I'm dictating what you talk about because you don't even know what you're talking about so keep your mouth shut. Your uneducated opinions aren't needed. I'm not doing anything for attention, bitch boy, I'm trying to get you to see your own ignorance. That's probably why you have no response to anything I've said because deep down you know you're wrong. But, by all means stay stuck on stupid, Mr. Street Scholar, share your lies and unsubstantiated claims with the rest of your wannabe west coast kinfolk online. Just know people are going to call your bluff from now on since you've made a complete idiot of yourself in this thread in terms of the streets and gang culture. Peace.

P.S. - Coolio isn't from Shotgun Crips (delete this thread), Ice-T isn't from 60's, you have no proof 50 snitched, and Spider Loc is a real Crip.
I haven't read your post. Too much bullshit.

THE Proofs:

50 snitch...read Abusive post..

Coolio Shotgun (proof on Photo)

Ice-T real OG!!! since '82 on LA Music scene

G-UNIT CLICK..bunch of wannabes

Delete my thread? Make me @@

50 Cent - Ghetto Qu'ran


This topic had no direction in the first place since the title of this thread is "Proof Coolio was a real gang member" and that's not even him in the picture.

"When you hear talk of the Southside, you hear talk of the Team
See, niggas feared Prince and respected Preme
For all you slow motherfuckers, I'mma break it down iller
See, Preme was the business man and Prince was the killer"

How is this snitching? All he said was Preme was the business man and Prince was the killer. He doesn't explicitly say he killed anyone. Mind you, I'm not a 50 fan I'm just talking facts here. If someone has paperwork on 50 Cent snitching then please provide it. I'll gladly change my stance if and when someone can do that. Until then, it's all just speculation.

Homie , go back to the cave!

Your arguments are awful

LOL, you're comedy, man. You're not from LA and you're not from California you're just another foreigner with an infatuation tor west coast culture so why are you even debating this? Your beloved Crip World didn't even say that was Coolio so you're just making assumptions. Coolio is from COMPTON, SGC is in GARDENA. Anybody with half a brain can understand that that's not Coolio. By the way, unitedgangs was not my source I was using it to show you a reference of where Coolio is actually from since my word isn't good enough for you.  You shouldn't even be talking ALL of your info comes from the internet.

"When you hear talk of the Southside, you hear talk of the Team

How is this snitching? All he said was Preme was the business man and Prince was the killer. He doesn't explicitly say he killed anyone or that they were involved in anything illegal. Mind you, I'm not a 50 fan I'm just talking facts here. If someone has paperwork on 50 Cent snitching then please provide it. I'll gladly change my stance if and when someone can do that. Until then, it's all just speculation.

Edit: Not to say I agree with the way 50 talked about them, but if all he said in his statement was "read the lyrics" then those few bars don't really give the feds much to go off of that they didn't already know, I'm sure.
It's snitching because he was under pressure and he gave the feds something to work with instead of keeping his mouth shut. Even if you take that verse out of the scenario there are plenty of other damaging verses in the song dealing with murder and drug dealing. The fact that it may or may not have helped the feds is irrelevant, he still offered them something. Also, what you fail to mention is that 50 had an ongoing beef with them and they were responsible for him getting shot.

The paperwork excuse that everyone runs to is silly. If someone is a confidential informant do you think there is paperwork that the average joe can find? Or what about an undercover agent or if there is a open investigation? The fact that you acknowledge that he talked to the feds and told them to read his lyrics dealing with real people and real street events, while at the same time saying you don't agree while at the same damn time acting like it doesn't mean what you know it means because no one has any "paperwork" is amusing to me. You're trying to hard to be right in this situation.
No man born of woman tho. Dead homies.

50 Cent - Ghetto Qu'ran


This topic had no direction in the first place since the title of this thread is "Proof Coolio was a real gang member" and that's not even him in the picture.

"When you hear talk of the Southside, you hear talk of the Team
See, niggas feared Prince and respected Preme
For all you slow motherfuckers, I'mma break it down iller
See, Preme was the business man and Prince was the killer"

How is this snitching? All he said was Preme was the business man and Prince was the killer. He doesn't explicitly say he killed anyone or that they were involved in anything illegal. Mind you, I'm not a 50 fan I'm just talking facts here. If someone has paperwork on 50 Cent snitching then please provide it. I'll gladly change my stance if and when someone can do that. Until then, it's all just speculation.

Edit: Not to say I agree with the way 50 talked about them, but if all he said in his statement was "read the lyrics" then those few bars don't really give the feds much to go off of that they didn't already know, I'm sure.
It's snitching because he was under pressure and he gave the feds something to work with instead of keeping his mouth shut. Even if you take that verse out of the scenario there are plenty of other damaging verses in the song dealing with murder and drug dealing. The fact that it may or may not have helped the feds is irrelevant, he still offered them something. Also, what you fail to mention is that 50 had an ongoing beef with them and they were responsible for him getting shot.

The paperwork excuse that everyone runs to is silly. If someone is a confidential informant do you think there is paperwork that the average joe can find? Or what about an undercover agent or if there is a open investigation? The fact that you acknowledge that he talked to the feds and told them to read his lyrics dealing with real people and real street events, while at the same time saying you don't agree while at the same damn time acting like it doesn't mean what you know it means because no one has any "paperwork" is amusing to me. You're trying to hard to be right in this situation.


"The paperwork excuse that everyone runs to is silly. If someone is a confidential informant do you think there is paperwork that the average joe can find? Or what about an undercover agent or if there is a open investigation.."

How is it silly or an "excuse?" You do know that when someone on the streets is accused of snitching the first thing people want to see is the paperwork, right? None of you have access to the one thing that can truly verify whether or not he's a snitch nor do you know any of the parties involved to get the real story or some factual, unbiased information. If he was a confidential informant, we don't know. That's my point. So how does the mere speculation of that automatically make him a snitch? Was anyone indicted over the lyrics in that song? If so, prove it. All that shit about Supreme and them was common knowledge out there. Did 50 testify at Preme's trial and say he was the one who was responsible for having him shot? Did the prosecution play that song in court as evidence for anything?

"The fact that it may or may not have helped the feds is irrelevant, he still offered them something."

Not entirely true. SNITCHING only applies if you give authorities information they didn't already know that leads to the arrest and/or conviction of someone else. Period. Had there been lyrics in there that did just that, then this would be a completely different story. One could be questioned by the authorities and give false information with the intention of misleading the investigation. As long as it's not in favor of the authorities, then who cares? For clarification, the rule is to shut up, yes, but there are situations where talking can be used to benefit you and/or others. People have taken the stand and lied; it's nothing new.

"Also, what you fail to mention is that 50 had an ongoing beef with them and they were responsible for him getting shot."


Really? Would you mind sharing where you got that info from? That's news to me, last I heard nobody was arrested nor convicted for 50's shooting, lol. Try again.


"The fact that you acknowledge that he talked to the feds and told them to read his lyrics dealing with real people and real street events..."

Lol, all they were asking him about were things pertaining to Supreme's trial, that's all we know. Nobody said anything about the entire song. Besides that, what "events" are you talking about? Nothing in there incriminates anyone for anything. Not to mention, everything he talked about was in the past tense. We don't know how long ago all of that happened or how many of the people involved were still even in the streets. There is such a thing as statute of limitations. Plus, things could have been made up or exaggerated you don't know. If this is really your concern then you need to stop listening to hip hop altogether because rappers shout out friends and illegal shit they may or may not have done in the past all the time. It just so happens that song got released at a bad time. Had Supreme not been in the hot seat when that song was released nobody would have cared at all about what 50 said. All you and everyone else have to go off of are assumptions and subjective information there is not one shred of hard evidence that proves 50 snitched on anyone in that trial. End of story.

Just because it's something I wouldn't do doesn't mean it's wrong. There's plenty of things people do that I wouldn't do.
