Chicago gang culture has shifted where before you was either GD, BD, Vice Lord, Stone, 4CH whatever back in the day. Now today you have factions and sets, where you may have a GD, a BD, a Vice Lord in the same set who shoot at other GDs or Lords from different sets. Its crazy
Well, tbh stuff like that was goin on bk in the day too. Just depends where n what we talkin bout. Even in the late 90s u had YLOs faction, n the renegades of certain gangs who didn’t mess wit the same type. U also had INSANE factions too, n don’t get me started on Cabrini green.

Stop trying to blame the projects for everything, because it’s not true…. When the project were up, the murder rate was near 1k, almost yearly. We just recently had a spike, because of this George Floyd bullsh*t and all that “Defunding the police” 💩 The criminals took full advantage of that no-bail shit… You got dudes out here on house-arrest for Murders.

Like my mom said, you could be in the hood but not be of it. I lived in Robert Taylor’s. I lived on the southside. I lived on the west side. I used to be around the gangs. But never joined. Conversations like this make me really appreciate my mother for the things that she did do that kept me away from even being interested in that lifestyle. And I don’t judge people who are in that lifestyle. I was afraid of them back in the day. so I just learned how to move around them and stay away from them. My situational awareness skills for them was very high. Very high. Seeing them bully others, because I was fast and they couldn’t catch me and they didn’t shoot at you when you ran either, that’s what made me become the police. I wanted to protect others that could not protect themselves. I just didn’t know how. So I decided to become the police so I could.

born in Brooklyn raised in Brooklyn and South Jamaica Queens.. gangs were never my twist.. knew quite a few people was decent with my hand game and I never needed any help catching a case so I always steered clear from gangs

In Boston also. Im 31 my mother use to tell me back in the day around 1980-85 random neighborhoods would find boxes of guns and ammo near dumpsters. And they never knew where it came from till like 15 years later they said the cops were doing it. Also the murder and crime rate went up.
The EXACT same thing happened in LA. BG knoccout, big u, and even freeway Rick explained the crates being dropped off by the train tracks. The government did that
I'm from California but live in NYC and the suburbs of Chicago. NYC gun laws are intended to make you give up on the process. They make it almost impossible to legally own a gun in NYC. Illinois gun laws are great. However, there is not one gun store in the Chicago city limits. The city doesn't allow gun sales. So none of the illegal guns are coming from the city. They are coming from the burbs and the train routes. Chicago is top 3 most beautiful big cities in this country. It #1 for me. It has one of the cleanest downtowns of the big cities. The food culture is amazing. The rooftop parties in the summer are amazing. The black women are beautiful and don't even know it. There is so much more to Chicago than the violence and gang culture.
You're right! One major progress Illinois made is right off the cuff of Chicago is its first Black Owned Gun Range 7410 S Harlem Ave Bridgeview Illinois 60455 Called StanMorr Sports Inc. The brother that owns it. Is right from the Westside of Chicago.
Back in the day around 55th and Princeton, 55th a little west of Hoyne St. the freights use to stop and sit for days… people broke in… Some days you got a freight filled with diapers, maybe shoes , but also guns… and that was in the late 80’s early 90’s. ✌️💜🙏from Chicago 🇺🇸
I as a Young gangbanger over 40 years ago witnessed crates of guns sitting abandoned on the railroad tracks behind housing projects on the Southside of Chicago! And not only were these crates being found on train tracks but we found boxes of ammo, guns, and explosives in locked & unlocked freight train cars... Now, who in their right mind would ship high powered military grade weapons and ammo in commercial train freight cars? No those weapons were for us because in 1979 what teenager could afford such expensive weapons? Many of us at that time knew that this was being done by the FBI.
@@jackman435 American Government always intervening on something... Cointel Pro and Condor Operation are examples of this. That goes without mention that the cartels are using guns coming from America.
I live in LA now but I grew up in Chicago in the seventies and our game thing used to be if you had an earring in your left ear you was a stone from the south side, if you had it in your right ear you was a disciple from the westside
In VA it's too easy to get a jawn. Fiends going in the store buying em and den selling em and reporting em stolen. Takes 30 mins for a bg check and you pay den you outside. Can open carry without concealed license

@@steavenjosey anecdotal evidence collected in a casual or informal manner, relying heavily or entirely on personal testimony.........if me being the youngest of three brothers and my two older brothers are confronted by my dad cause he found a ak-47 in our garage and my father proceed to find out where the gun came from and who gave it to them and my two older brother along with my father and me takes my father to the train tracks on a 120th and El segundo in the Athens park district of los Angeles ca , where there was 3 train cars full of guns and by this time it is now surrounded by the local bangers handing them out to their friends.......Mr. know nothing then I have zero issue with anecdotal evidence
I heard on some platform this story before but the guns wasnt dropped randomly. Certain people got into from inside sources that the guns was on a train in a train waiting to be shipped or was just waiting for them to pick up. Said it happened repeatedly for a while.
I'm sure they been doing this since forever because that's how basically every city does it here in the south and they been doing it here since forever.
Real spit they did the exact thing in Memphis...In the late 90s early 2000s in 2 separate situations 2 federal vehicles where left in North Memphis unlock full of guns
ganja god This was in 2012 Alabama wasn’t far off Chicago and still isn’t back then Chicago had 500 murders in 2012 and Alabama had 342 and this train was in the project look up gate city Birmingham on google and you’ll see
That’s what happened here in Oakland California, about 10 years ago “supposedly” a train full of military weapons was passing thru and got “Compromised” by local gang members..truth is the police left assault rifles in unmarked cars, like sitting in the back seat, and on the floor of the cars for anybody to see and some guys who really shouldn’t have had them got there hands on them. Other then that the guns come from out of state where they’re cheap and sold for high down here, gun laws in the south are way more lenient then the gun laws on the west coast
Unless your talking about when north Richmond robbed the gun train in the early 2000’s…They knew about the lick it was always fishy how they knew what train car when it was, when it was going to stop etc..
@@charlieramz3126 they were much more organized in the 60s to 90s. Cops fault for locking up the leaders. Despite that tho the black p. stones made $10 million and GDs made $100 million from drug trafficking. Both gangs operated as a crime syndicate and the stones defeated the Chicago outfit by extorting them. Black gangs were smart and highly organized cuz they had regents, chiefs, capos, wingman, and board members like the mafia
In the 90's I'm from the D" went to The Chi" and they was like are you Brothers or Folks and I had to take my hat off cause I kept flipping my hat but I got much love and the girls didn't mind paying or buying a guy shyt I thought it was a setup but love the Chi"
It took me one week to get my pistol permit in NC. It took me one month to get my concealed carry permit after taking the class. One of the few benefits of living in a red state.
So if they go to Indiana they don’t get them in Chicago..... look dude I grow up involved (no sidelines ) in this life. We as gang members play out part. But you are out your fucking mind if you think the government doesn’t facilitate this shit. Same government that armed and trained Castro osama and sadaam. Did business with both sides in ww1 and ww2. Same mfers import Coke to find a secret war in another country. The USA has a dec 9th 1999 Supreme Court ruling that they were “DIRECTLY “ involved in the assassination of Dr Martin Luther king and gave his family 100.00 because we don’t matter.

2011 and 2012 was some of the bloodiest years in Chicago, It’s no coincidence about those crates, Everybody started popping up with 100 round clips, FMJ’s, Beams, even Rondo9 had pics with an RPG….. Where did it all come from and why did it all come at once???
The story is that a train stop in the middle of the night in Englewood area of Chicago’s south side and the doors were open. The hoods break into trains often. The difference with this is the doors were unlocked, and the guns were fully assembled and loads. No coincidence!

Make your intentions known, im just a customer, i mean you no harm. I would go out of my way to watch out for the guy's looking out for me.
Respect on getting clean bro.

Big T still one of my favorite battle rappers till this day
Much Gratitude
born in Brooklyn raised in Brooklyn and South Jamaica Queens.. gangs were never my twist.. knew quite a few people was decent with my hand game and I never needed any help catching a case so I always steered clear from gangs
i have great times in Chicago .... I've been to Taste of Chicago, baseball games, family reunions .... They always having issues about guns in the Chi but when your black you have to know how to move no matter where you at
Family is everything
This just happened around Philly through FedEx where a Gun shipment was sent to a Chester City school, last month.
Knowledge always asking these Vladtv ass questions 😆
I doubt he knew the implications of that question.
I turned down joining a gang bcuz at 15 I had simple logic. If I join a side I'm limited to where I can go without beef with complete strangers.
@7:42
Big T: I wasn't with the GDs, I wasn't with the BDs, I wasn't with the Lords, I wasn't with the Stones. I wasn't with nothing.
*(Knowledge chimes in with a dumb azz question right on time, as usual. You can literally see him sitting there itching to ask some dumb sh!t)*
Knowledge: Why not, why didn't you get influenced to join?
I'm from Chicago and MOST Black men are not in gangs. Sure, many are affiliated such as myself but I never joined like Big T because I didn't have to.
*Knowledge just itching to ask some dumb shyt* 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@WallTrapMedia Facts. You can literally be from a block and not have to join. U just from that block and it is what it is. Mfs do not be forcing mfs u to be in the streets and they don’t be on that with you if you just a regular working dude.
This is a good question. Gives Big T a chance to show others how to avoid that lifestyle.

Real story here in South Chicago I got two crates of SKSs in 1998.
Real spill!
In Boston also. Im 31 my mother use to tell me back in the day around 1980-85 random neighborhoods would find boxes of guns and ammo near dumpsters. And they never knew where it came from till like 15 years later they said the cops were doing it. Also the murder and crime rate went up.
Well spoken!!! He broke it down as real as one can
2 classes and 90 day wait in Mass. Been carrying for 17 years
The EXACT same thing happened in LA. BG knoccout, big u, and even freeway Rick explained the crates being dropped off by the train tracks. The government did that
I'm from California but live in NYC and the suburbs of Chicago. NYC gun laws are intended to make you give up on the process. They make it almost impossible to legally own a gun in NYC.
Illinois gun laws are great. However, there is not one gun store in the Chicago city limits. The city doesn't allow gun sales. So none of the illegal guns are coming from the city. They are coming from the burbs and the train routes.
Chicago is top 3 most beautiful big cities in this country. It #1 for me. It has one of the cleanest downtowns of the big cities. The food culture is amazing. The rooftop parties in the summer are amazing. The black women are beautiful and don't even know it. There is so much more to Chicago than the violence and gang culture.
You're right! One major progress Illinois made is right off the cuff of Chicago is its first Black Owned Gun Range 7410 S Harlem Ave Bridgeview Illinois 60455 Called StanMorr Sports Inc. The brother that owns it. Is right from the Westside of Chicago.

I as a Young gangbanger over 40 years ago witnessed crates of guns sitting abandoned on the railroad tracks behind housing projects on the Southside of Chicago! And not only were these crates being found on train tracks but we found boxes of ammo, guns, and explosives in locked & unlocked freight train cars... Now, who in their right mind would ship high powered military grade weapons and ammo in commercial train freight cars? No those weapons were for us because in 1979 what teenager could afford such expensive weapons? Many of us at that time knew that this was being done by the FBI.
Yep! Railroads were "saying" they were being robbed at gunpoint.
And y'all did what they told ya...
That's messed up!

They did that in every major ghetto across America
10 years - nah Chitown been rockin since prohibition
BECAUSE of Prohibition 😏
Before Prohibition
I heard on some platform this story before but the guns wasnt dropped randomly. Certain people got into from inside sources that the guns was on a train in a train waiting to be shipped or was just waiting for them to pick up. Said it happened repeatedly for a while.
Yup...3 gang factions knew about it. Also train station are in the hoods.
you almost is right.they use to hit the trains and find guns without the pins in them.
I'm sure they been doing this since forever because that's how basically every city does it here in the south and they been doing it here since forever.
Crazy thing about that story with the crate of guns happening in Chicago, the same thing happened in LA in the late 80s early 90s …
It was not by accident
"BIG T after lunch, do em greasy"
Luv Big T
Real spit they did the exact thing in Memphis...In the late 90s early 2000s in 2 separate situations 2 federal vehicles where left in North Memphis unlock full of guns
it takes only 5 mins to get a gun permit in the Carolinas
Depends on what county and 5 mins is still exaggerated. Mecklenburg or Durham is easily a 3-4 month wait. And that was before covid.
They do that in Alabama we use to hit train full of guns when I was in middle school
ganja god This was in 2012 Alabama wasn’t far off Chicago and still isn’t back then Chicago had 500 murders in 2012 and Alabama had 342 and this train was in the project look up gate city Birmingham on google and you’ll see
Yen lyin im from baldwin county i remember this
Guns were also found in L.A. by the railroad tracks near the hood. Around the mid 80’s.
It was on the train track on western , it was then ak47s that was used all over back of the yards and Brighton park
That’s what happened here in Oakland California, about 10 years ago “supposedly” a train full of military weapons was passing thru and got “Compromised” by local gang members..truth is the police left assault rifles in unmarked cars, like sitting in the back seat, and on the floor of the cars for anybody to see and some guys who really shouldn’t have had them got there hands on them. Other then that the guns come from out of state where they’re cheap and sold for high down here, gun laws in the south are way more lenient then the gun laws on the west coast
10years ago? Lol stuff like that only happened in the 70s 80s .. drop a source for your claim
Unless your talking about when north Richmond robbed the gun train in the early 2000’s…They knew about the lick it was always fishy how they knew what train car when it was, when it was going to stop etc..
This never happened

And to add to this the black gangs in Chicago are waaaaaay different from the Hispanic gangs. It’s a whole different level.
Spanish gangs are more structured and militant than black gangs. Black gangs killing their own with dudes that are supposed to be their enemy.
@@apuertorican1773 Man unfortunately that’s true. Structure went out the window.
@@charlieramz3126 they were much more organized in the 60s to 90s. Cops fault for locking up the leaders. Despite that tho the black p. stones made $10 million and GDs made $100 million from drug trafficking. Both gangs operated as a crime syndicate and the stones defeated the Chicago outfit by extorting them. Black gangs were smart and highly organized cuz they had regents, chiefs, capos, wingman, and board members like the mafia

So if they go to Indiana they don’t get them in Chicago..... look dude I grow up involved (no sidelines ) in this life. We as gang members play out part. But you are out your fucking mind if you think the government doesn’t facilitate this shit. Same government that armed and trained Castro osama and sadaam. Did business with both sides in ww1 and ww2. Same mfers import Coke to find a secret war in another country.

2011 and 2012 was some of the bloodiest years in Chicago, It’s no coincidence about those crates, Everybody started popping up with 100 round clips, FMJ’s, Beams, even Rondo9 had pics with an RPG….. Where did it all come from and why did it all come at once???
Facts I still wonder till this day how he got that RPG. The government definitely dropped those crates. An everything u said is completely true.
Exactly ain't no coincidence...just like ppl didn't wanna believe the CIA was behind the crack epidemic, come to find out it was all true!!
But u americans still vote for gun laws so everyone can get their hands on one
PLO or Kosovo
No 2016 was the deadliest I’m from the raq I know a lot of people died 2016 almost a 1,000
They dropped crates of guns on the train tracks in LOS ANGELES IN hyde park Wilmington Carson IN THE 2000s and 90s too
The story is that a train stop in the middle of the night in Englewood area of Chicago’s south side and the doors were open. The hoods break into trains often. The difference with this is the doors were unlocked, and the guns were fully assembled and loads. No coincidence!
