So I have this Sociology project, to give a presentation on the Crips and the Bloods.

Anyone have any good documentaries on them?

The only thing I found on them as far as documetaries are Made In America and Gangland.

I have some personal experience with them, but would like to know if yall could help me out a bit.

Bloods rep red lol, bloods started in the West Koast, but the blood gangs in NY were bigger then any crip gang... Crips deragatory term is cKraB and Bloods is Slobks, bloods rep the 5 star and craBs rep 6 star
man the gangs that always had my attention was like the mexican mafia type a gangs an the biker gangs those doods would do some scary shit ta kill you not just a couple bullets an shit they did alotta the make ya suffer type of deaths an shit
The movie redemption made it out to be that the bloods were formed in LA to combat tookies Crips. Thats what i'm going off of. Piru is the original Blood set.

And i'm not saying Pac was ever official but he loved to act like one. Prolly because thats what Suge was and that was his crowd but was never official. Just like Lil Wayne saying he's a Piru. But I believe that Pac pulled all the strings he wanted and was never controled by anyone. He was his own man and would never let someone control him or his image. But thats just me.

But yeah good luck on your paper TK. Hope you do good. My favorite gang to read about it the entire Folks nation. They are another crew that is against Bloods. Not directly but enough to fight for no reason. LOL. But if you plan on doing a whole paper its easier if you include alot of the smaller sets and do like 3 or 4 from the bloods and 3 or 4 from the crips and it will take up more paper. Also it leaves less to being vague and lets you put more info in on the difference inside the sets instead of generalizing it. I would definately include the Lit that a lil bro would have to learn, The signs affiliated with each(ie tats, hand signs, ect.), and how its no longer really about the big brand sets but made up more of hundreds of smaller sets. It shows how the gang orginization is alot like a Mcdonalds franchise. LOL. With a headquarters, and just lots of smaller recruiters. LOL. I know the GD headquarters was in Chicago still as of like 8 years ago. If you need any help hit me up. I read alot about gangs so i know some shit. Not alot but enough to fill 5 pages of paper.

Not exactly... But Im not gonna get into a gang history timeline

But I dont kno, and Im not gonna look it up right now cuz I really dont care all that much, if Tookie waz already in prison by the time the Bloodz banded together against the Crips.

Pac ran w/ the bloods and used them to get street cred. He waz never a gangsta... We'll probaly never know if Shug waz controlling Pac on puppet stringz, or Pac waz the one orchestrating hiz image...

But fuck all that. Howz your paper doing? No offense, but izn't writing a paper on the war bout Bloodz and Crips like writing a paper about Muslims and Jews? Kinda old hat... I would narrow it down between 2 sets, but thats just me.

Snoop - Crip
2pac - Kinda Blood

Had a cousin who was a Blood... he'z dead tho

The Crip Founder Tokie wrote MANY books and articles about gang life and the poverty and society that surroundz it while he waz on Death Row. I don't know if he really tackled so much about the war between the bloods and crips tho. I think he waz in prison by the time the Bloods got founded.
Look him up, and your golden...
