Okay now we've MADE sure that you're not a gay couple....I'm still talking to only David.

The initial reason I made this thread was to point out that Coolio was not fantasizing about being in the "hood". He was in it. He talked about having bullets fly past his head. He's not making it up. No where did I say that he was still in it. I was merely pointing out that he is not lying to create this tough image for himself. He hung out with the Crips, stole, was involved in gun fights, etc. Is he dangerous now? Of course not... well, I hope not. He is not creating some alter-ego though. He is the real deal.

No. He just repeated my point. :rolleyes:

Let's see the statistics? Got them handy? I'd be really interested!

Talk to anyone from Compton. You can't get by without hanging around the worst of the worst to not get shot or robbed.

No. He just repeated my point. :rolleyes: [/quote]
So you say to Linda 'You know nothing about Compton' in response to her saying not everybody in Compton is in a gang, yet when Girth says it, he is merely repeating your point? Which side do you lie on here? We know Coolio was a gangster, but your view on the good people of Compton is a bit strange. You also know nothing about it, bud.


Except for your choice of thread title, which is written in the present tense.

False.

Just because the majority get involved does not mean everyone does.

His parents divorced when he was 11, and searching for a way to fit in at school, he started running with the Baby Crips and getting into trouble. Even so, he still wasn't really accepted and was never formally inducted into the gang; he tried to make up for it by creating a menacing, unstable persona and carrying weapons to school, and his once-promising scholastic career wound up falling victim to his violent, poverty-stricken environment. - Source


I'd advise you change your thread title to "Coolio did grow up in an environment filled with gangs", then maybe your point would be clearer.

The title of this thread (including the use of the caps on the word "is") is misleading as it infers that you think he is currently involved with gangs, yet you contradict this with your last post.

It's hardly surprising people are challenging your posts.
