It’s not particular to the nineties. Gangster rap breaking into mainstream was particular to the nineties but the gangs persist. Yeah I was going off the rails there, but quin denying sox hat is even affiliated with crips, for example, when it is a matter of fact, just shows people are in denial on the subject. LA county and Lake county each have approximate gang numbers of 150k each. Then you have many more affiliated with the gangs but not members, ie their women, managers, businessmen, etc. Then you have the white collar criminal organizations and gang infiltrated justice system that allows it to persist. That’s why you have mobs everywhere who think they can get away with anything because they allowed to do so. Same in LA
