    Rest in peace to this King! Man he spoke the real but in a cool collect way. Black gangs especially crip in fighting is the real reason and responsible for most killings in LA county. Crip in fighting set the tone for gang wars as we know it. 83/Hoovers vs 60s may be the most notorious war in La gang history! You have some notoriety of Blood vs crip wars such as IFG vs 60s/90s/Raymond/100s. You have DLB vs Hoovers/Raymonds/ etc.. 118 ECC vs Athens park, bounty hunter vs Grape, ect...etc.. but none of these beefs i mention seem to have that dark body county as much as crip on crip. Not to mention cars dont even mean total unity, giving now 40s nhc warring with 60s nhc! I mean even grapes fight way more crips than bloods they fight PJays crip, ECC, Fudgetowns, Ten Line GC, just to name a few...now bacc to the hoovers whos only real blood beef was with DLBs and some brims. Other than that hoovers was going at anything NHC! Shit 102 raymonds and 92 NHC (Legends) are the only true Inglewood crips oh and Tongans. MAD Ass Gangstas came much later and they kind of in Lennox if yiu ask me. But they claim The wood. But raymonds and legends both 2x/NHC was going hard at eachother! Despite being a minority in the wood! Shit on the east side: Coastas, Broadways, Avalon, Mains, 4 pacc, 97/87 GC and hoovers....all of them go at eachother heavy one way or another! Not to mention Long Beach is a Crip City which means all the wars there are crip on crip by default! And Compton??? Man forget about it! Santana vs South Side is the CPT version of 60s and 83! To put it in perspective like this makes me wonder if its some conspiracy where unknown outside entities create and perpetuate these wars. Like i wouldn't put it pass, CIA special Operations, FBI, NSA, one of these intel agencies, commite murders on both sides to get a war going, in order to crush any idea of unity or peace treaties.

    I talked to a Slauson and he said Compton is nowhere near the top. That they [Slausons] used to whoop on Compton all the time. Now there were individuals who were tough, but Compton as a whole wasn't.
    He said Watts had 5 projects and they didn't get along with each other (NG, JD, IC, Hacies, Palm something forgot).
    So that made it easier to fight Watts.
    Big Slausons like Chinaman had skirmishes with Watts.
    Lil Slausons like Roach etc made into a war.
    Baby Slausons like Bird turned it into a Holy War lol with Watts.
    Watts had some tough dudes Like N.D. who lived and Breath Watts lol.
    N.D. and Roach from Lil Slausons had three fights.
