Well, this here isn't any of my business ,but I have to come to Lyric defense on the whole crip and blood thing here. Lyric is not crip or blood. He's a cool person as far as I can tell from the few PM convos we have had.
I was raised in California where gang bangin' is real and very much frowned upon, so why would he want to be associated with that culture. One of my bestfriends in L.A. was a Inglewood crip and will not say the word cuz anymore, even if you used the word in the family sense (cousin). There is such a negative stigma with that word that even former gangsters who are seeking the light will not say the word cuz, blood, let alone BK (blood killer).
Naw, Lyric isn't a gang banger.
