MY 2 CENTS!!!
O.K. O.K.
WE ALL KNOW THAT CALIFORNIA USE TO BE MEXICO WHEN ALL BLACC FOLKS WERE IN AFRICA ETC. ETC.
IN ALL PLACES WHERE PEOPLE ORIGINATE FROM THERE WERE GANGS PEOPLE MAY HAVE REFERRED TO GANGS AS TRIBES BACC THEN!!! SO THIS SHIT ABOUT WHO STARTED STREET GANGS FIRST IS IRRELEVANT, GANGS HAVE BEEN HERE SINCE THE BIGINNIG OF MAN KIND!!!
AS FAR AS CRIPS BEING OLDER THAN NORTES, I DON'T KNOW AND I REALLY DON'T CARE!!!
NOW FOR THE WORD LOC!!!
YEAH OF COURSE IT'S SHORT FOR LOCO AND LOCO IS A HISPANIC WORD SO YEAH WE ADOPTED IT FROM Y'ALL CUZ IT SOUNDS TIGHT!!! THAT'S RESPECT!!!
BUT WHEN I CLICCED ON THIS THREAD AND READ THE QUESTION, I LOOKED AT IT LIKE WHAT DOES IT MEAN IN BLACC FOLK TERMS!!!
**FOR BLACC FOLKS**
IN THE BEGINNING "LOC" WAS AN OVERALL WORD FOR CRIPS AND BLOODS
LOC SHORT FOR LOCO=CRAZY, I BELIEVE DJ QUIK HAS A SONG CALLED "LOKED OUT HOOD"
BUT AS THE YEARS WENT ON LOC STARTED TO BECAME A CRIP WORD AND DOG A BLOOD WORD, HOW THAT CAME ABOUT, I GUESS I NEEDS TO ASK MY BIG HOMIES ABOUT THAT CUZ I DON'T KNOW!!!
SO ESE BROWN, WHISPER818 DON'T TRIP YEAH WE RECOGNIZE IT COMES FROM THE SPANISH LANGUAGE
IT'S NOT LIKE WE GO AROUND SAYING WE MADE THE SHIT UP....WELL AT LEAST I DON'T!!!
AND FOR THE RECORD I HAVE NEVER HEARD AN ESE USE THAT WORD FOR SLANG LIKE WE DO!!!
