Gangs been around for forever… the spread of Blood and crip titles was based more on life than music… like dude above said jail is the place most get put on and then there was the guys who were either on the run or were lookin to make more money or try to recruit more soldiers.

Where I’m from dudes in a particular part of town were claimin INTERNATIONAL and REDLINE back in the late 80’s somehow that same hood today is blood affiliated…

As of recently they realized its a good recruiting tool but overall it had little to do with the spread of any particular gang… but the music did help foster the climate!

#12 sounds like a dickhead
and hiphop is not the reason gangbanging came to new york, niggas in nyc learned gangbanging from jail….
i cant believe noone else wrote that. gangbanging niggas from the west and chi was in lockup wit ny niggas the rest is history. jail culture spreads quicker than anything in this world. u want ur gang to pop off all over the country get it poppin in jail when them niggas come home they push niggas wigs back and followers will follow. ask any ms13 nigga u know jail is the claim to fame for any and every gang, if u gang aint a jailhouse gang then its pussy

you cant blame it on hip hop…. blame it on no jobs, poor education system in these major cities, & broken homes most ppl join gangs because they have no family.. thats just some of the things you can blame it on…..LEAVE HIP HOP ALONE

no.12 is a dumb ass…..Im African and whats going on in Africa has nothing to do with rap music…the continent of Africa has been in turmoil way before hip hop music even existed…It started at “The Berlin Conference”….this is where the European powers sat down at a table and carved up africa into the countries that are there today…Nigeria, ghana etc…this put different ethnic groups together that did not even speak the same language in some cases…to make a long story short this lead to power struggles and bloody wars that still go on to this day…The situation in Africa has nothing to do with rap music you sound ignorant even saying something like that…furthermore you said that gang in south Africa calls themselves the Americans not the rappers…America represents violence…the majority of the violence in the world, america has its nose in it somewhere…hip hop music is just a representation of america…Use your freakin brain for a second if they banned hip hop tomorrow the murder rate might go up not down….

first of all the prison system is more to blame than hip hop music…most of the kids i know who join crips or bloods (im from Jersey) join in jail because they are scared or want more respect…Everytime a lil guy goes in he comes back blooded up and more of a gangster than before they went in…If jail was actually used as a place that rehibilitates the youth and gives them direction i guaratee you gangs on the east coast would decrease in size and the amount of new members joining would drop substantially…Instead they let dudes sit around lifting weights, playin with fags, gang bang and deal drugs…Prison is like criminal college real talk….The prison system should be Obamas next project..
