Eastcoast Gangbangin

great. here comes yet another bloods versus crips rant. prepare yourself, everyone. who cares? gangbanging is gangbanging, no matter what "set" you claim. and "game"? i hear his shit like 5 times an hour on hot-97. hes like the britney spears of commercial rap. gimme a break.

first and foremost id like to say that peter, if im not correct you too made a crip and blood message board and quite strangly actually took the time to take pictures of graffiti, so if you dont have anything worth reading to say then go baq to your m.b.

secondly bitch made, i feel you on this, im not from gardena but im from lets just say kelly park-compton, although i personally dont bang being that i dont see that it is worth it to kill yourself over territory that dont belong to you or over colors, i do respect what you have to say, it is funny as hell watchin music videos and seeing these clowns claimin to raymon lee washington type niggas lol but oh well, cant change the world you know? just have to live to the fullest and let these people kill off eachother.

tashay: being fascinated/curious enough about gang graffiti as an artifact of urban culture to share images of it online is one thing... participating in an endless, pointless argument about who pops and who drops, however, is another thing altogether.

in case you missed it, this whole site is a "message bord" (or photoblog, as most people call such things nowadays) concerned with documenting such things... and not concerned with attracting an endless stream of gangbangers who come here not to share or discuss, but to tag up the comments with threats, slang, ignorance and bravado.

That being said, comments will be active on this thread as long as it stays on topic. as soon as the comments here digress into another argument flood, the coments are going to be deactivated.

so, gangbangers, the future of this discussion is up to you. be cool.

pac and bigge are dead. shit happens. all this east coast versus west coast shit is so 1990s. its a contrived beef that the record industry keeps alive to sell more records.

dont believe the hype.

the only people that give a shit about gangbangers are the gangbangers themselves. everyone else is busy enough with real grown-up life to give a shit.

id love to see a cage-match between the chavs, crips, bloods, and northern irish. now that would be worth seeing on pay-per-view!

yeah, i agree with "dont believe the hype". who cares if youre from the east or west coast? coasts? im not even from america, so its all the same to me, no matter how infinitely you break it down into subclasses.

the bloods vs. crips, graf crew vs. graf crew, IRA vs. UDF are all just examples of something that reoccurs endlessly in the world - if you get too wrapped up in a subculture, you end up with your head stuck up your arse. and everyone else can see it except you.

tashay: 9th Jun 2005 - 15:45 GMT

all of the following posts ive read below my previous one is bullshit, bullshit, none of yall can speak for me or what i believe in, east versus west? who said a damn thing about that or tupac and biggie? stop jumping to conclusions the fact is, eastcaost gangbangin is a fraud and i spoke on it, its about time people like myself and "bitch-made" let these niggas have it, it aint cool to be in a gang so we busting the fake ass offbrands out, end of story, hop off.

tashay: 9th Jun 2005 - 15:51 GMT

editor: incase you missed read what i said, ima say it again, taking pictures of graffiti is like taking pictures of people fuckin its none of your business what people do in their lives, many of them dont even want to be exposed, those are REAL niggas about theirs, not like these fake ass people from brooklyn or the bronx talkin bout how hard they asses are, youre right online netbangin is a joke, is crazy but im not doing that, im just agreeing to what was said by "bitch-made" which is that us cali4nians are tired of these eastcoast down south maggots talkin bout ck or bk when they dont know a damn thing about, putting their lives at risk, whats wrong me speaking on it?

To the Editors and Creators of CityNoise.Org,

About two years ago a friend of mine directed me to his work on CityNoise and I began to look around the site. What I found was deeply pleasing and has helped restore for me a sense of human good-manifest; this is to say
that you have created, elicited, a wonderful and diverse community of
people who are expressing themselves with freedom. The manner in which
the site was designed (and maintained) contributes to this significantly.
The site is easy to navigate and utilize, and it appears to me to lend itself very well to how the human mind operates in the community as
envisioned by the designers. This, specifically, is much more than
'web design' or computer engineering; here, the sum of the whole is
greater than the parts. I have searched the web with vigor for sites like CityNoise and I, so far, have not found any sites that even come close.

In reference to restoring "for me a sense of human good-manifest," a few years ago my creative work was disrupted, I should say damaged, and I have been working to get back on-track. Working to, again, build a
creative environment, a "creative oasis," where I can manifest what I know I am capable of and maybe much more. Running across a community such as I found at CityNoise has been a boost for me. This is so for many
reasons, one being that this community is extremely diverse and yet it
works. In many ways it represents, and in fact is, in part, what should
be sought in an enlighted democracy. And to this extent, at least,
CityNoise represents something very wonderful and advanced; something
that, all of us, individuals and entities formed of individuals can take
lesson from. This does not, of course, mean that we all agree with each
other. But the dissonance, I believe, is largely positive, and thats why,
I believe, that any of us are doing anything at all. This is to say that
all people are trying for betterment and acted out with wisdom in a
community this, obviously, includes having basic healthy respect for
other people. To see such diverse people all participating here is an
inspiration. There are so many examples here of people hashing different
beliefs, we agree and disagree in a healthy way. It is not necessarily an
"easy" environment, it can be rough sometimes, especially if one cares
about communicating their thoughts and if one cares about the meaning,
the reality, of their 'thoughts;' the reality of our 'consciousness'.

I think you should let all threads 'fly' unless there is some functional disruption caused to the technologies involed and in that case I would seek to find a way to resolve the technical issue. Let em work it out.

Peace - Namaste.

well, if you consider extreme bandwidth usage to be "disruption to technologies", then thats why the threads get capped and comments stopped... some entries that have 1500+ comments (99% of which are pointless back and forth namecalling) get capped. go figure ;)

not to mention the annoyance page after page of such spurrious commentary presents to our regular readers, who have to ferret out content from the endless wave of threads of pointless comments in the "recent comments" section... which is probably the #1 complaint i get from our regulars, which is why i have to keep it in check.

we cant let the one-off whims of some visitors trample the usefulness of this site to those that return again and again and contribute so much more than argument.

Lili: 21st Jun 2005 - 03:27 GMT

I see - understood. Makes good sense. So the capping is, generally speaking, solely based on bandwidth usage ?

Lili: 21st Jun 2005 - 05:19 GMT

Editor,

This is far-out. Providing a fourm for these folks to communicate about
thier lives and some of what is going on around them is a good thing.
They're channeling their engeries in a positive way. Some of these guys
n gals are really fantastic - very, very, talented.

Guy: 22nd Jul 2005 - 13:46 GMT

I don't get why people from west coast get mad about their being east coast bloods and crips when theres bloods and crips down south too so I don't see a big deal.

Chris K: 4th Aug 2005 - 14:26 GMT

Absolutely,
they still deny my position.
It's OK I'm taking a fucking trip.

hool: 7th Oct 2005 - 01:09 GMT

i wonder if there are gangstas from the middle states. do they suffer from identity crises? are white people allowed to be gangstas? if you're white and you're a gangsta, are you a nigga or still a cracka? so many questions. perhaps gangbangin is the new existentialism.

Peace: 7th Oct 2005 - 09:01 GMT

I say keep yo color wars on the walls ... no one need die over a color? theres enough of that shit in the world . We all bleed red dont we?
Peace...
