So Chris Brown has recently been associating with the LA Bloods, more specifically the Fruit Town Piru set. This has been going on for a while, with Brown throwing signs, giving shout outs, and tagging walls. My first thought upon seeing this was wondering what to wear to CB’s funeral. Dudes get killed for pretending to be part of a set without earning it.
But it looks like my black suit and funeral-Jordans (Oh, y’all haven’t picked those up yet?) will be staying in my closet for another day. On Saturday, TMZ reported that members of that very same set (who obviously went unnamed) say they’re cool with Brown repping their colors, despite him not actually being a Blood, per se.
Apparently Brown has hired some Bloods for security, shot videos in their neighborhood and even goes down to hang sometimes. It is at this point that I would like to issue a plea to the city’s more… blue-leaning citizens:
Guys please, let’s put the gangbanging on hold whenever CB is in town. I know that nobody wants to do anything that might jeopardize the planned release of X this fall, right? Okay, thank you. I figure we were on the same page here, but I thought it was important for us to have this talk.
My concern for Chris’ well being aside, I’ll have to dock him points for this. Even if the Bloods are okay with him acting it, he is not an initiated member and has no history of gang activity. Realness has always been the central tenant of SCR and what I’m taking from this is confirmation that CB is not a Blood, even though he tries to make it seem otherwise. I want to say -50, but because he does have the Red-Okay, I’ll make it -40.
