Furthermore, I've seen him hanging with NHCs' before, but he's still confessed that he never actually banged with them. It kinda makes "The Streets" a hypocritical song, since he and Snoop were telling marks not to C-walk if they weren't Crippin, and yet he ain't even Crippin himself.Quote from: Fallujah Tech on December 23, 2005, 10:03:07 PMbut man, Ice T is a crip. the guy said it himself in his own words. check c loc simpsons book out,ice t was from rollin 30s hood. he was a crip. he said he never put in work proper, so really he was never a banger, but hes affiliated with em. he talks about being blued up. crenshaw highI've told you, man - being "affiliated" with a gang ain't the same thing as being "from" there. You may "stay at" that hood, but you don't have the right to say you're "from" that hood until you've put in work and get your ass put on. When I was a lot younger (many years ago now), my older brother and I used to hang with the homies from Southside Village, and we often went to their parties, ran errands for them, went to school with them, shit like that. You might say I was "affiliated" with them in that respect. But that doesn't mean I tell people I was a Southside Village Crip...cause I wasn't. I never did dirt for the truf, I never banged, nothing like that; was square. I seriously doubt Ice-T even had much of an affiliation. I can usually tell which rappers were Crippin just by the way they talk, and he doesn't strike me as the kinda person who could've really been a Loc...I think he does that for publicity and credibility. He may be a respected O.G. in the rap game, but that ain't the same thing as being an O.G. on the streets.It's kinda funny to me that West Coast rappers never used to talk about what sets they claimed (or supposedly claimed) at all, because if they bragged about being Crips or Bloods, the niggas from the rival sets wouldn't touch their shit, and that would just limit their paper - they had to be ambiguous about their gang affiliations. Then around 2000, the C-walking shit became popular, and Tha Eastsidaz did the Crip Hop thing and went Platinum, and everyone was like, "Damn, this Crippin' shit sells". And that's when we had all these rappers on the West Coast (and even many in the East and South as well) claiming Cuzz or Blood.
