Ill start with the most obvious.....Eazy-E

Good thread. I think there are more gang member posers than actual gang members.

Are you being serious? Cuz this has been posted TOO many times.
And it never works because people always assume they know who's real and who's not based on who they like.
Example: I know no one is going to say Game. But the FACT remains dude was living on Cedar block, hanging with all those CBPirus, selling drugs with them, and obviously had a gun since he was shot with his own shit - sounds like a gang member to me. Flipside, how many times has DJ Quik claimed to be an OG then turned around and said he never banged he just lived in the TTP hood? Yet even when he's saying he didn't bang his fans on here will say "no he did".
One who no one can dare deny is Mr. Tracy Davis. Dude was so active that when his music career started he refused to have his face shown in videos because he was afraid his burglary victims would be able to identify him. Spider Loc, Eazy-E, Mitchy Slick, etc are also all real gang members.
Jayo Felony lived in the NHC hood, he wore blue, he wasn't afraid to fight - but thats about it. He usually got a pass because he's relatives with some real Crip OGs. FACT.

-
livin in the 'hood' and actually bein from the set are 2 completely things.
quik always flips his stories as much as he does hairstyles. one day he was bangin, one day not.
game supposedly was from santana blocc but claimed cedar later on in his life. didnt know switchin sides was accepetd but who am i to say anythin, i aint from l.a.
dudes like tray dee, dudes from allfrumtha i, bgko, 2nd ii none, hi-c and a FEW more actually got people that can vouch for them on the streets..aint really to many REAL G's that rapped.
but like oak20land510-415 said most "gangsta" rappers from southern cali are some weenies or affiliated by knowin a few niggas from the hood or whatever.

Gospel Gangstaz, they were actual gang members ;D

WC
Nah, he said on his older records that he never gangbanged and if i remember right, he even talked about it on BET or somethin' like that. I'm sure somebody here remembers that.

When was that? That's a surprise, if that's true. If he's not really Cripping then he just soaked up their game to the fullest.
-
snoop dogg ;D
-
fact of the matter is, most rappers who claim a gang don't actually bang for that set, they just affiliated because they kick it with peeps from that set..
-
Came across a comment while listening to some music on Youtube that made me remember this thread:
Snoop n Daz r OGS in the muzik game they aint no reptables from the h20d neither of them ever laid a chongo or insane out
Daz was never put on 20s he just grew up around 20th n myrtle and started claiming it and Snoop was a small time dope delaer slash up and coming rapper
Nate Dogg n G dub are some real ones from the set.
G dub? Does he mean Warren G lol who would have thought, looks can be deceiving I guess.
From here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UciB6lhTAo0 (good song btw, and apparently from this website originally)

OG redrum said game was never a blood. he said game was a piru investment that went wrong. niggas knew he could rap so they let him use the piru card and in return he would take care of them... why you think this nigga game can't go back to his own hood now ? this nigga is shooting videos in other niggaz hoods because the pass he got from cedar block got revoked.

There is a difference between being from the hood and gang banging; in his early records, WC was putting it down for people in the hood without set tripping or claiming any affiliation.

"Your girl better step, or I just might jack her, smack her like a gangster, but I don't bang..."
I am surprised that this is not more well known. If you have not given them the time, check out his early records:
Low Profile - Pay Ya Dues
WC and the MAAD Circle - Ain't a Damn Thang Changed
WC and the MAAD Circle - Curb Servin'

You are right, Curb Swervin' is not a good example, especially with "West Up!" being the lead single. I was assuming that if people had not heard the first two, they did not it either.

What about keita rock?
Keita Rock is a real one from 60's

Bigg Tray Deee & Mitchy Slick.

If we're talking about gang members and who is real, at least spell his name right... no Crip is really going to name himself Rock with "ck" in it.

Obviously that's how it's spelled.... But I know what you mean kinda weird...

Link??
there is picture of game going back to cedar after him and fase made up, but why would he go back to a crime infested place?? he rich and live in a nice house in glendale..
but i don't think he was a crazy gang banger, just a normal dude in a blood hood hanging out with bloods....

Bow Down lyrics:
"I'm a H double O D the the S T A... fuck hiding it I'm gang related simple and plain"
That spells Hoodsta as in Naybahood Crips. And those 3 braids in his beard wasn't just a hairdo. He was subliminally banging on the world '111'.

Here's the thing about WC. No one ever calls him out. Every other "gangsta" rapper has been called out for being fakeass, but never Dub. That says something. So if he is or isn't a gangsta, folks seem to be shook of him anyways.
