seeing as cash money and lil wayne are bloods it would make a lot of sense that drake is as well...

 

I agree with everything mrags is saying. You dont just flash gang signs for no reason and if you do and arent a member that's a big problem.

Wayne wasn't until his jail stint. The celebrity representation is desirable to the gangs. He doesn't have to put in any work and has protection in and out of jail for an occasional gang sign or red rag in his pocket. Same with DJax I'm sure. Very common stuff.

1300 yards is all I care about.

Yeah definitely, I'm just going on what he said as to when he officially became a blood.

In a statement released on Friday, Jackson denied having any gang-ties. The Los Angeles Police Department backed up Jackson's statement by saying they don't necessarily think Jackson has any ties to gangs and they definitely don't think he's been involved in any gang-related killings.

"It's kind of like 'Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.' When people grow up in neighborhoods where you have gang involvement, you don't have to look too far before you find a connection to a connection," LAPD Homicide Det. Chris Barling told the Philadelphia Daily News. "Now, how sinister that connection is, our position is that's for others to judge."

.Also hurting our chances: he's tight with Marshawn from their days together at Cal. Don't think he's going to give us a ringing approval.

 

Also hurting our chances, crips can't wear red. Don't think the crips will give us a ringing approval

You do if you're an idiot.

 

Mrrags has a point...but he's also deeply involved in an environment where gangs are omnipresent. There's no Crips-wannabes in prison. In the real world, things aren't nearly that black and white.

I'm tired of where the high road has taken us. Sign him. If he f7'?s up cut him. But until than.... He IS going to play ball. Might as well be our team.

growing up in Cali, I learned to throw a bloods sign just to make it to school every day, and had friends in gangs. The situations you grow up in do make a difference.

Id imagine, especially when a guy from the block makes it big there's a degree of "honorary membership" that can be accepted by all involved that doesn't amount to anything near what Aaron Hernandez was doing (still amazed he was actually the guy with the gun possibly multiple times)....

 

That said, even if he's not some crip soldier out on the street in the offseason (which I don't think anyone is portraying), by being a friend with guys from the neighborhood he's potentially putting himself in some terrible spots that include drugs, weapons, and poor judgement. I could see wanting to keep that away- both from a PR perspective, and a player development. It brings back memories of Stevie (among others) being in the car for marshawns hit and run, as a local example a bad situation popping up.... Or of course his name being mentioned when the idiot associates he's got rapping on his label shoot people as seems to be the story of the first incident.
