in my english class we got the topic gangs in us.... and at the moment we talk about crips and bloods...
there was a list of westcoast rappers who was affiliated with crips.... snoop, warren, nate, spider loc, easy-e etc. but Dr. Dre wasn't on it.... so my homie said he didnt understand why Dre wasn't on it, then i thought about it and i never read or heard that Dre ever been crip affiliated.... is he??
my other homie got me to thinkin a little when he said it was weird that game got a nwa tatto and a tatto of eazy-e when he is a blood...
what do yall think about that?
-

-
from what i´ve heard the block Dre´s from is actually a blood hood.
-

i know that he never banged but i´m pretty sure he´s affiliated with some crip or blood gang coz he came up in that era when gang banging started to really take off.

well yeah i can see your point.. and i did desagree a little with my homie.... but it still made me think a little... maybe cuz he did a little comedian with it :P "hi i wanna be blood, look at my tattos of crips"

hmm so he have not been a crip... but he lived when it started and was probally affected by it since he lived in a blood hood....

i aint sure that he lived in a blood hood but i´ve heard it from a couple of peeps from LA but you know how it goes. people love to talk about shit that they´ve heard from around the way and claim it´s fact(and the people i´ve heard it from aint the most credible sources). all i know is that when he was a teenager banging was starting to become a huge problem so he obviously knows some people that bangs/used to bang.

Dre used to hang around Atlantic Drive Crip hood when he was younger, but as a lot of people have said, he never actually banged himself. I dunno where ya'll heard he lived in a Piru neighborhood.

I'd believe that, except that you hear Dre using Crip slang throughout "The Chronic" - he refers to cats as "loc" many times, especially on "Fuck Wit Dre Day". If he really lived in a Piru hood, I doubt he'd be doing that, because even if he never actually banged, he probably wouldn't want to disrespect the niggas he came up with.

well Snoop did write some of the lyrics for Dre along with the D.O.C. so that could explain the Loc references(but you´re prolly right). but Dre´s never really claimed any street or nothing so it´s hard to know coz pretty much all of the rappers has mentioned the street(s)they grew up on but i´ve never heard Dre name the street he grew up on.

Yeah, but Dre would've still had SOME input on those lyrics, and if he had any allegiance whatsoever to Piru homies, he would have told Snoop to change "loc" to "dawg" or "Blood" - those are all single-syllable words that could've easily been interchanged. The fact that he was even with Snoop in the first place says something by itself.
As I've said before, most accounts I've heard suggest Dre hung out on Atlantic Drive, so he probably was close with those cats. I think the rumors about him being a Blood are because he went to Centennial High, and the Bloods originally took their colors from there, but since Dre wasn't actually from the Crip card, it wouldn't have been a problem for him to get along with them. Bottom line is, he never was a banger.

well Suge Knight was his best friend at the time aswell. but i think everybody´s on the same page and that´s that Dre never banged. and i could personally care less as long as he stays putting out blazing shit :)

Just because someone grew up in a neighborhood with gangs doesn't mean they bang wtf people...

a lot of people thought dre was a crip, because he always said "loc". not to many people took into consideration that snoop was the one writing his lyrics

There may be better and more positive things to teach about America than gangs, but fact is that a lot of young people are affected by gangs, so it's a relevant topic to young people. C's & B's are a good example for this kinda topic, since they're known world wide 'cause of gangsta rap. When I was in high school, in my English class we'd study phenomenons and cultures in English-speaking countries, and gang culture was one of those topics. (We didn't discuss C's & B's though.) It's not like we studied how to act like those cats or be like them - we studied and tried to understand what were the factors behind that culture. Not only in Denmark do they have these kinds of things in English class... For us at least English class wasn't just about the language, but also about cultures in English speaking countries.

dj quik used it...and he from a piru hood..and I kno yall remember..when some fools rolled up all dressed in guess..(pow) they shot em in the chest

No, Dre ain't gang affiliated, same as Cube they just know how to rock the mic
And besides losing time talkin about this shit? You think any of this shit is cool, i mean gangbangin or you just think "Damn i can make some gang signs with my hands--> i'm a gangsta" Homie get realistic, "gangbangin, it's LA shit" let's just keep this thing about hip hop and their life as artists...not as a crip or a blood...

Man I thought Dre was from Calabasses? :o

why the fuck europeans care about some tiny ass feuds thousands of miles away?
