Its so much fake history about the crips going around but I know the real history if you think you know crip history lets go.

Go where?

I watched a documentary on the bloods and crips and it said the name crip came from a burglary that occurred and the witness said the gang member was walking like a cripple so the name crip stuck,not sure if that is accurate ?

This have already been covered if I'm not mistaken.

@ marksmith you are correct somewhat the history you speak up did happen but on the eastside it was the baby avenue cribs and on the west side they were called crips mispronouncing the word crib so after a while the east side and the west side started saying crip...as "crippin" means robbery and stealing...

I'm always on the phone with og Angelo barefoot pookie,me and monster kody Scott writes each other he locced up right now...and I talk to og Raymond cook aka danifu and judson bacot if you don't know who these people are look them up...or I can do a 3 way with y'all...

If yall knew something but didn't know if it was true it not to ask ? Its really not that much that I don't know I still talk to some of the originals...

Kody Scott (doesn't he call himself Sanyika Shakur now?) is probably a Richard Kuklinski level liar.

has anyone heard any of the bloods and crips bangin on wax albums?

I think they made 2 of those albums. Don't think any of them became big off of it.

I got a question, Did the rolling 60s crips rob a national guard armory back during the 70s?

I remember reading something about some gang doing that in Kody Scott's book. It was either the Rollin' 60's or ETG.

Funny, I just finished Colton Simpson's (Lil' Cee Loc) book the other day.

Yes he does call himself sanyika shakur but the homies call him monster still if u wanna write to him I can give you his info.

@tony pro coltins book would not be able to tell you the whole truth trust me...most of the stuff I know he might not know...

crip killa!

Dellacroce you know nothing of crip I bet you don't even know and blood nor crip history...so how can you say crip killa if you don't even know why...

Certified what do you know about the story of the rolling 60s robbing a national guard armory?

Ive heard it mentioned in a few books and news articles.

Also what exactly is your affiliation with the crips if you don't mind me answering?

That's how they became known as the rich rollin 60s the first to gang to ever rob a armed truck and het away...

I know they were known for take over bank robberies and such but i was asking whether you knew anything about a specific story of them robbing guns from the national guard armory.

Well the issue never came up in Los Angeles I can ask one of the leaders for you and find out...

I found this article:

http://articles.latimes.com/1992-05-13/news/mn-1663_1_hoover-crip-gang-member

It's mainly a general article about ETG and their collective 'rap sheet', but it does mention their beef with the Rollin' 60's and the fact that they (the 60's) robbed an NG armory in the 70's. Doesn't give any specifics about the robbery itself, however.

I'm going to do some more article digging on google since I'm at work and awaiting assignment, but I doubt I'll find much. I'll be at my old school friday (auditing a class for shits and giggles) so I'll give the newspaper archives a perusal while I'm there. If this actually happened and isn't just gang folklore, I should be able to find some media coverage of the event from the time.

Yeah thats one of the articles i saw it mentioned in. I was reading about a veteran rolling 60s member who got killed recently, he had been in a wheelchair from a previous shooting but was still active and apparently used to keep an ak47 attached to his chair.

I'd be willing to bet money this mission from GTA: San Andreas was inspired by this.
