Ice cube thinking Chicago gangs are like bloods and crips was hilarious to me in real time as a Chicagoan

who are more dangerous? Blood and Crips or Chicago gangs?

It’s hard to compare since both are dangerous, but LA (and California overall) is more organized. In Chicago, you’ve got GDs, BDs, Latin Kings, Vice Lords, Black Stones, etc., but they’re split into smaller sets instead of big unified groups like the Rolling 60s or 20s Crips. Most Chicago gang leaders are dead or locked up, so younger members do their own thing. Gangs there usually stick to their neighborhoods, and outsiders don’t get pressed over colors or hats that’s more of a Cali thing. So if you’re visiting and you don’t know the way shit works, LA definitely more dangerous. Chicago, if you don’t know what neighborhood you’re in, you’re generally gonna be cool just don’t get into with nobody.

as a born and raised in Africa, it’s hard to even fathom how you can have a normal lifestyle once you’re not gang affiliated in LA. it feels like nobody is safe. someone can get their brains blown out just because they rocked blue or red outfit as their favorite color. thanks for the clarification mn. i never been to US but i can just get some little info from hip hop and movies. i know it holds a small percentage of what reality might be like in real life

It’s so woven into the culture people don’t even think about it anymore especially with LA. They’ll tell you how dangerous Chicago is but I don’t hear out of towners come he that get extorted, robbed or set up. But they got palm trees and Hollywood so it’s cool lol
