I was a young, dumb a$$ girl who didn't realize it wasn't worth it. My dad was a banger all his life and he was Two-Six. So believe me I kept quiet about where I would be or who I'd be with.

Any good initiation stories?

we had largely Insane Unknowns, but they lived up to their name and weren't noticeable on the street for the most part.

but the neighborhood (Lake View) was a lot tougher back then overall, there were always plenty of young adults who took it upon themselves to keep the teen wanna-be tough guys in line. the only hard and fast rule in my hood was don't associate with SC Royals, but they were held in such low esteem that kids insulted each other by suggesting that was a group they should join, so it was pretty much a non-issue.

I've heard Chicago gangs are devil worshippers..Which is believable...I mean any movement whom acts as killing and pushing dope to it's own people is some type of righteous cause obviously has sold tier soul to the devil.
