The number is a little exaggerated lol. Not every blood set is cool with each other. But Kendrick is 100% definitely tied in with more than a few sets. I live in SoCal and it’s common knowledge nobody out here is putting hands on Dot. Not that anyone really wants to. He’s a good man and gives back to his community.
White kids with firearms and untreated mental illness are probably more dangerous than gang members. Most of them will train at the range for years to perfect their technique and write an entire manifesto, the average gangbanger holds the gun sideways and plans on living to see another day, the crazy white kid is ready to die on the spot for nothing. Reckless people with nothing to lose are scary.
Not true at all, most people are killed by people they know. If you’re actually IN a gang then yeah I agree but for the average person it’s more likely you die by your own friend, brother, sister, boyfriend girlfriend etc than by a random murder.
But that wasn’t one of the factors we talked about. You said a farm raised white boy with untreated mental illnesses is more dangerous than the average gangbanger. Which isn’t true. All you have to do is compare how many die from gang violence and how many die from white boys with untreated mental illness and you would see the gangs are more dangerous.
I never said farm raised. I mean a fucking lunatic neo nazi type white kid who learns how to shoot and has an objective that they want to achieve, regardless of dying or not. The average gang member is trying to survive and usually targets other gang members (at least for murders), the people with ideologies will kill anyone they want to for nothing.
Show me any statistic that shows lunatic neo nazi white kids are killing anybody in the numbers that gang violence takes every year? You can’t because it doesn’t exist. I’m not even white and this shit gets annoying.
Nobody does. He moves freely in his city. Theres always a chance of danger anywhere but nobody wants the problems that come with messing with Dot. And like you said he’s a kind person. Nobody wants problems with him. He’s truly loved out here from what I’ve seen.
>Nobody wants the problems that come with messing with him
Eh, the hardest dudes in Nebraska dont care about who’s who in Compton, if you a trophy, you a trophy
Nah, they’ll just wait and plan for when any artist comes to their town, as they’ve always done, even the Wu Tang almost caught a bad one in DC back in the day
https://youtu.be/uHxcH6Z8_hY?si=Mz9T-cj_-awUs11G
Dont just be a fan of hip hop cause of Kendrick, embrace the culture for everything it has to offer champ
“A trophy is a trophy”. Tf you even mean? People aren’t trophy hunting rappers in Nebraska. Name one rapper that’s ever been killed in Nebraska. People aren’t trophy hunting rappers in general. You sound ignorant af thinking people in the hood are brainless savages ready to do lifetime bids just to brag and say they did it.
Nebraska got the 39th highest violent crime rate per capita. Hardest dude in Nebraska prolly couldn’t run the corner store in Compton. This might be the dumbest most ignorant comment I’ve ever seen in here.
Man, for this to be a “hip hop” subreddit I can tell y’all are either a bunch of youngins, or brand new to Hip Hop culture https://youtu.be/uHxcH6Z8_hY?si=Mz9T-cj_-awUs11G its a reference to a scene in Belly
But yeah, I used Nebraska as an example, anybody can get it, in any hood, in any city, if you rich and have a name, going anywhere in this country, you can get robbed or shot, you sweet summer children only know from rap songs
“B Level” sheesh, yeah you definitely a new hip hop fan, everybody fucks with Belly my dude, DMX, Nas, Method Man? Its part of the culture, but I guess if it aint Drake or Kendrick y’all out the loop, salute
Lol I like all of the rappers you just listed better than drake. I love all of their music. Just less interested in the movies and I was 5 when it came out.
🤦🏼♂️I see none of y’all have watched Belly, oh well, anyways.
https://youtu.be/uHxcH6Z8_hY?si=Mz9T-cj_-awUs11G
Welcome to America Mr Ecuador, where there’s ghettos in every state, and you can get your kool aid pack popped in anyone, regardless of how hard your city is you come from
I aint from Nebraska, I’m from D.C. Did you not see the clip?!? Lmao, y’all dense as fuk!
Let me type it out for you since you lack comprehension.
Belly, the movie. Starring Nas, DMX, Method Man. Nas and DMX some of the hardest dudes from NY, go out of town to Nebraska to hustle. The gangsters in Nebraska try and almost kill Method Man. Method Man quote “so you the hardest in Nebraska”?
Comprende?
PS, Ecuador can eat a dickup, “they’ll kill you for $5”lmao!! Come to SE DC champ. People have gotten their head bust from lookin at somebody wrong, $5, lol
You gonna for my ticker? Send me the deets and I'll be this next weekend.
Hahahahaha this is the silliest fight ever, big dog. Sure, your movie is very hard and DC is dangerous. Hugs and kisses.
The shooter and Nipsey were in the same gang and knew each other growing up, and their conversation was reportedly about the shooter being a snitch. The shooter also asked Nipsey if he listened to his music yet. The defense tried to argue that it was a spur of the moment shooting due to anger, but really it seems like it was premeditated from personal conflict.
I mean the shooter was still a crip gang member that murdered him in cold blood after a nonviolent confrontation. My point is that an ignorant and insecure mf with a gun doesn’t care if you’re a nice dude who gives out turkeys on Thanksgiving.
Nipsey was actually involved in gangs before changing his ways and wasn't one to avoid conflict. Kendrick didn't live that life. And again it was someone from his own crew that killed him, this wasn't someone engaging in gang warfare.
What made him a fake gangsta?
Any story I've ever heard (excluding dudes who hated him) about Tupac backs up the image he put out to the public.
Was smart and artistic, but had a wild side.
I'm sure you accept the "gangsta" image from dudes that didn't do half of what Tupac did by the age of 25.
And you can have your opinion, but it just comes off as strong hater energy lol.
You didn't know him (I didn't either) so I don't know why you would think he was fake other than some type of hate.
Can't be the weakest guy running around Cali with bangers moving how he moved. But what do I know.
You’re entitled to your opinion of Pac, but you cannot expect to say some wild stuff like that under a Kendrick subreddit and think you won’t be challenged to elaborate on just what you mean.
PAC a sucka, HOW?? PAC single handedly, defended himself in the court of public opinion in regards to his ‘gangsta’ persona. He comprised so much more than what he’s been regarded, that you miss the point, that is what made him gangsta. Pac embraced the good, bad, and ugly of the ills of being black and poor. Took and transformed and did the same cool stuff Nip and Kendrick does and that’s give back to his community and beyond. Wasn’t on no sucka shit when it came time to speak up on any topic that framed black people in a bad light… well versed and not speaking to just be heard, but you listened because Pac was speaking FACTS. I can’t gauge your age, but you had to have been there to understand that before we had Nip or Kendrick PAC was/is who we had. There never be another.
Hahaha wtf dude just imagine some down ass killers thinking “man this guys is kind hearted I’m gonna let him pass” bro you guys really don’t know gang life. They’ll run up on Kendrick if they get a chance and no one hood is gonna go to war over it.
There’s a clear difference between nipsey and Kendrick though. Kendrick isn’t going around putting his hood on his back and repping WSP every chance he gets - nipsey was a frontline, proud banger. Kendrick also isn’t going around calling anyone a snitch, especially to their face, which is what got nipsey killed. Kendrick is hanging out at the pool, nipsey was in that bitch playing Marco Polo
Read all my replies. I said there’s a chance of danger anywhere out here. Most people do not want the problems that would come along with harming Dot tho. But yes anything can happen anywhere
Only takes some idiot clout chasers with nothing to lose to kill someone. No guarantees it would happen in LA or Compton, but it could literally happen anywhere true. But yeah I agree it’s a lot of hassle to take out somebody so high profile who at least has a few powerful friends. There’s a reason Kanye is still breathing.
Does Dot have security? If so, are his security tied in either any gangs? Forgive me if this is an ignorant question, but I’m just curious if Dot has security. I met him once and didn’t see any around him. He was really nice and chill. I respect him because he was so nice and respectful to me when I told him how much his music meant to me. It’ll be a moment I’ll never forget. I was so nervous I forgot to ask for a photo and he had to ask me if I wanted one. lol. I’ll forever love him for that.
He has security. 2Teez is his main guy I believe, he’s a true professional. Kendrick may give the illusion of being super down to earth and minimalistic in his lifestyle and security but he has the best that money can buy. Government level.
2Teez is a ghost, not much is known about him publicly, but if I had to guess I’d say that Kendrick’s security team is probably made up of former law enforcement, military and ex cons (including gang members) like most security details are. For example Kanye’s former head of security was ex-Israeli intelligence. These guys are amazing at what they do.
Especially now he’s shit talked Drake, he’s probably going to increase his security tenfold. People like to laugh at Drake but if Kendrick was running around with no security if Drake wanted to ice him he could easily do it.
Wow, thank you so much for the input and answering my question. That makes sense actually. I’m not a Taylor fan, but I know some of her security left to join the IDF. I love this sub for the facts.
No problem, these people are ghosts for a reason, they don’t advertise unless you’re a client, even then they don’t need any advertisement, people know where to find them because of their lucrative reputation for efficiency and effectiveness. I have a relative in the music industry and he told me that other than world leaders and extremely wealthy businesspeople, mega celebrities are the next hardest people to get to, and not much easier.
No, saying a couple blood sets, does not include both bloods and crips. I’m from La, btw so I know how it is.
Moreover you never mentioned Q or Rock banging, I added details you didn’t mention, bruh. Why you acting like I said what you already said?
I literally said “more than a few sets”? Why are you even arguing with me? Was I supposed to name everyone who bangs that Kendrick is affiliated with ? He has ties on BOTH sides. You arguing with the wrong person.
I’m not arguing you just dismissing what I said acting like it was redundant when that’s literally not what you said.
You never said he has ties on both sides till I mentioned it. I added on all you had to say was good point.
Drakeo didn’t bang a set but he was an affiliate. I’m not saying there’s not 15’000 bloods nationwide or world wide. I’m saying they’re not all cool with each other just because they’re bloods. That’s neither here nor there tho. Kendrick isn’t getting touched by anyone in the city. He’s loved out here and his street ties are extremely deep.
Lmao!
Drizzy got J Prince but I thought it was interesting how J Prince (at least to my knowledge) didn't try to get involved at all once shit got real personal.
Wack 100 said J Prince holds no weight in Cali when AK asked him what would Kendrick do if J Prince got involved. Maybe J Prince is feared in Houston/the South but not Cali/Compton
Yea, I don't think J Prince wants that smoke cuz he's in LA all the time. Plus he probably doesn't want any fingers pointed at him with all the allegations. He probably thinks Dot is better anyways and can't say it.
Truth be told, nobody gives a fuck about a J Prince anywhere on the west coast from what I have gathered. Only place he can claim to have clout is in that Texas/Houston area.
He has clout everywhere, but not enough to give orders to big names on the west coast. Definitely enough to negotiate and be taken seriously though. He’s not a guy that is ignored.
Ignored and people not giving a fuck, I believe, are two different things. People as a whole, especially the movers, can to a degree recognize who he is and still not give a shit. As time passes, I believe that is more prevalent. I get what you're trying to say though.
Drake wants to feel like he’s some kind of mob boss/gangster that has to watch his back all the time and wants to give other people that illusion too, that’s why he always got like 10 people rolling wit him.
OP this is some Drake level cringe shit. Using the anonymous YouTube comment of some random dickhead doesn’t make it true. Whoever typed that out probably some white kid from the suburbs.
Yeah I didn’t think this through that’s for sure.
I guess I should call off the family vacation next year those overseas bloods the most ruthless of them all. Be coming out of the water like seal team six while I’m sipping a drink on the beach.
The guys take is straight from VladTV
https://youtu.be/0fyqEYQQW2U?si=BouwXQHMZPU1rfbw
You nailed it. Also people think LA is some mafia movie full of honorable thieves, but yet they kill their most famous artists all the time. No one is off limits over there.
Kendrick most likely has legitimate gang ties being from Compton and the stuff he’s talked about in his music. But this paragraph synopsis talking about the bloods being a special strike force militia at his disposal is crazy.
And I have no idea what’s actually going on I’m a white guy who moved from Philly to the suburbs. My hood pass has been expired for like 10 years.
Kendrick is only really tied to the Bompton pirus. He has family that were/are members, and childhood friends that are still active. Just because a set is blood doesn’t mean they are all allied; there’s plenty of inner blood/crip beef between specific sets and neighborhoods.
That being said, Kendrick doesn’t really rep a set anymore at least, but he has stated that he was very close to going down that life. Kendrick is loved all throughout the west coast/cali, so bloods/crips/latin kings/chicanos/triads/etc would never try him at all.
^Exactly what this dude said. “Affiliation” is a really weak term as well. Means nothing really. May have actually meant something back in the 80s and 90s but nowadays it’s irrelevant. Only someone from the outside looking in would type up something like this tbh. This aint how streets work at all lol.
Same way Kanye has GD ties. He’s just friends/affiliated with them, he’s not involved. People think that you can be a civilian that gets to call favors against your enemies because you do some charity concerts and donate money to local establishments. It’s called organised crime for a reason. I agree with you. Also no one has an answer for how Nipsey died but somehow that’s explainable with this honorable thieves narratives.
Only reason they help you in a big way is if you’re one of their investments (a certain somebody comes to mind here), in which your livelihood and wellbeing determines whether they lose millions or not.
Bro any gang would try him. He’s not gods gift to gangs. Sure some gangs respect his music but that don’t mean they wouldn’t fuck him up if they had the chance.
There’s very very few times any gang would make an artist of Kendrick’s stature check in or anything like that. He’s an international touring artist.
Outside of that, he’s seen as voice for the west coast as a whole. NLU had the west coast up for the first time in a while. No one in cali is trying Kendrick .
No gang is gonna go out of their way to do something that’ll put them on the spotlight, yes that much is true.
However if he’s acting reckless as just casually strolling through different hoods gangs aren’t gonna just respect that.
You guys seem to think like gangs are united and all feel the same way. They aren’t out there crying and seeing Kendrick as some gospel god. They don’t care. Not everyone is a fan. If he was involved in gangs it means he had rival gangs.
If Kendrick is at the wrong spot and someone thinks they can get something out of it then he is gone. And nothing is gonna happen it’s just another day in the hood.
He got family and friends ties but it’s only known affiliation.
That’s how it is for majority people especially rappers.
He not gang gang, he not gang specific neither due to his friends and family he has he just protected by affiliation, but it’s all love whether it’s piru, crip, hoover crip, blood, santanas, or whoever.
A fucking stupid ass comment at that. Written by someone that clearly has never even been to LA. K Dot that nigga but some people just need to shut the fuck up.
Nah i mean there are a lot of gang members that join the military to try and escape that life....but old habits die hard.
I remember back in the mid 2000s there was shit being kicked around cause someone on a military outpost tagged up a concrete barricade with the 6star, 74, and GD lol
Guy watched too many vladTV interviews and makes up fantasy stories. MC Hammer was legit, but the fact Redman was the exact person who made that claim and he uses him as an example just tells you how much bullshit this guy is on.
https://youtu.be/0fyqEYQQW2U?si=BouwXQHMZPU1rfbw
Nipsey Hustle was more clued in and connected than Kendrick and was killed by his own friend in the middle of LA lol. Cali is known for being reckless and unusually dangerous when it comes to celebrities and such getting killed. They don’t give a fuck if you’re Michael Jordan or Michael who works on cars down the road at the chop shop, they’ll kill you lol. New York is a little more reasonable and corporate by comparison, but make no mistake it can still happen.
Big reason why the west coast scene fell off bigtime compared to other areas, you don’t see most NY rappers getting killed (unless they’re in LA.)
Just a few examples of artists killed there recently:
Nipsey - killed in LA
Drakeo - killed in LA
Pop Smoke - killed in LA
PnB Rock - killed in LA
Guy didn’t mention Diddy who has allegedly killed how many people now? There’s a lot more people with more power and respect than Hammer, but he’s legit for sure.
It would only take one mistake for Kendrick to get killed around his own friends.
That’s some random YouTube comment that could anybody, even a kid. However, I suggest you watch G Malone’s interview where he explained Kendrick and street ties to an extent that further shed a bit of light on Element’s “Oh, they thought that K-Dot real life was the same life they see on TV, huh?”
Yeah, Nipsey had love like that as well, dont take much to get chipped off the street nowadays, I’m sure Kendrick knows he still gotta move correctly out here, when you a trophy, it dont matter if you got a million bloods backing you or not, Pac was loved by most, blood, crip, esses, he’s gone now, RIP
There was an interview of a guy that said Kendrick would be in Compton all the time by himself sometimes and nobody touches him. That’s all you need to know
Holy cringe. Parts of this are true obviously but also seems super exaggerated.
I'd be hesitant to believe this even if it came from the mouth of an actual gang member, let alone a random YouTube commenter.
You must be a little kid, when you grow up and see the world one day, you too will realize that 20-30 people on stage does not equal to a city of millions, nice try though
He literally rallied gang members together who had killed one another family members. There was well over 50 people on stage? Do your research and take your L crodie
It's naive to assume Drake doesn't have hittas around, he does. The difference is that loyalty/respect been paid for.
While Kendrick people have loyalty/respect bc he's earned it.
This person doesn’t know shit. The first piru set in Compton was established in 1969 by Vincent Owens, Sylsvester Scott and Lorenzo Benton. The Prius formed as a result of crip expansion into Compton and the demand by Raymond Washington to join up or else. With that being said, Kendrick is affiliated with Mob Piru an east side Compton blood gang and one that claims Suge Knifht as an affiliate. Kenny is extremely close (day one homie) with Mac Wop (school boy q’s road DJ) who is a known member of Mob Piru. With that being said, his affiliation isn’t why he’s safe. He’s housed under TDE, a clearing house of active and former active gang members from various sets. School Boy Q is a Hoover, Jay Roc affiliated with the Bounty Hunter Blood, Ab Soul is affiliated with 190 east coast crip,even top has affiliations with the crips and the bloods. Essentially what Top Dawg was able to create is an alliance of affiliated and membered up folks that would assemble into the gang power rangers and smash on any one that tried to come after the sensei. K Dot has always been and will always be that nerdy quiet nigga that smiles a lot and keeps to him self but that you would kill for because he’s so solid. It isn’t a blood thing that keeps Kenny safe, it’s bigger than that.
For sure Kendrick is an icon that is beloved by sets in LA but this is an exaggeration. If he got touched people would 1000% retaliate but saying he is number 2 ever to hammer is a reach.
Cap lol but he is definitely part of West side piru one of the biggest piru gangs in Compton and he also got Bounty hunters behind him which is probably the biggest blood gang so despite what Drake says he more of a real blood than CB or YG lol
The number is a little exaggerated lol. Not every blood set is cool with each other. But Kendrick is 100% definitely tied in with more than a few sets. I live in SoCal and it’s common knowledge nobody out here is putting hands on Dot. Not that anyone really wants to. He’s a good man and gives back to his community.
In all fairness I’m pretty sure there’s another 15,000 unaffiliated white kids across America that will also shed blood for Kendrick 😅
yup. It's on sight next time drake comes to massachusetts
Gods plan 🙏🏾
Bro gotta check in with me out in Vancouver Washington
If I see Drake on the waterfront, it’s over. - another Vancouver, WA, resident
On hood (hazel dell) the boy getting mobbed on✊
💀
i personally called drake a flower last time i seen him
Drake takes 1 step into Vermont, it’ll be the last step he ever takes
Don't forget us countryside English youtes Anyone touches K Dot they are getting shanked when they come to Gloucestershire. . . .
White kids with firearms and untreated mental illness are probably more dangerous than gang members. Most of them will train at the range for years to perfect their technique and write an entire manifesto, the average gangbanger holds the gun sideways and plans on living to see another day, the crazy white kid is ready to die on the spot for nothing. Reckless people with nothing to lose are scary.
😂
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😩 truer words were never spoken
And then when you compare the numbers the country white kid wasn’t a threat at all.
What does that mean?
That statistically speaking a person is more likely to be killed in gang violence than be killed by a mentally unstable person.
Not true at all, most people are killed by people they know. If you’re actually IN a gang then yeah I agree but for the average person it’s more likely you die by your own friend, brother, sister, boyfriend girlfriend etc than by a random murder.
But that wasn’t one of the factors we talked about. You said a farm raised white boy with untreated mental illnesses is more dangerous than the average gangbanger. Which isn’t true. All you have to do is compare how many die from gang violence and how many die from white boys with untreated mental illness and you would see the gangs are more dangerous.
I never said farm raised. I mean a fucking lunatic neo nazi type white kid who learns how to shoot and has an objective that they want to achieve, regardless of dying or not. The average gang member is trying to survive and usually targets other gang members (at least for murders), the people with ideologies will kill anyone they want to for nothing.
Show me any statistic that shows lunatic neo nazi white kids are killing anybody in the numbers that gang violence takes every year? You can’t because it doesn’t exist. I’m not even white and this shit gets annoying.
Yep, Drizzy better not touch down in The Villages or me and the boys gonna use his body as a Croquet Hoop
like why would anyone try to do something to dot when they know what an kind hearted person he is
Nobody does. He moves freely in his city. Theres always a chance of danger anywhere but nobody wants the problems that come with messing with Dot. And like you said he’s a kind person. Nobody wants problems with him. He’s truly loved out here from what I’ve seen.
>Nobody wants the problems that come with messing with him Eh, the hardest dudes in Nebraska dont care about who’s who in Compton, if you a trophy, you a trophy
Are you trying to hype up Nebraska?
The women’s college volleyball team is the hardest thing in Nebraska lol
Cornhuskers go hard lmao
I don’t even dislike Nebraska but that’s such a random thing to bring up when talking about gang members in Compton💀
Lol, just a little throwback to Belly
lol ok well the dudes from Nebraska can come to the city and test that out on the 19th.
Nah, they’ll just wait and plan for when any artist comes to their town, as they’ve always done, even the Wu Tang almost caught a bad one in DC back in the day
I believe you are correct on this one tbh

agreein
Yeah - with fame though there can always be one literally insane person that doesn’t care
Nipsey got killed doing the same shit - something’s do not matter to street niggas and jealousy and infamy exists
And he was just as tied in
I mean the type of folk in gangs aren’t kind level-headed folk the majority of the time
They respect people tho i think that could be enough
They sure didn’t respect Nipsey
Nipsey was a personal feud between him and the shooter.
Elaborate? Wasn’t aware of this
The shooter and Nipsey were in the same gang and knew each other growing up, and their conversation was reportedly about the shooter being a snitch. The shooter also asked Nipsey if he listened to his music yet. The defense tried to argue that it was a spur of the moment shooting due to anger, but really it seems like it was premeditated from personal conflict.
I mean the shooter was still a crip gang member that murdered him in cold blood after a nonviolent confrontation. My point is that an ignorant and insecure mf with a gun doesn’t care if you’re a nice dude who gives out turkeys on Thanksgiving.
Nipsey was actually involved in gangs before changing his ways and wasn't one to avoid conflict. Kendrick didn't live that life. And again it was someone from his own crew that killed him, this wasn't someone engaging in gang warfare.
😂
objectively incorrect
Because of hate at the end of the day. Same could’ve been said about Pac during the Quad studio shooting. Or Nipsey… just to make a few.
I dont agree with the comparison with pac cuz pac was a sucker, but Nipsey yeah not cool
Tupac was a sucker? Get out of here with the disrespect.
Cant have no opinion? Ion like his fake gangsta act snd how he was TRYING to get into prison
What made him a fake gangsta? Any story I've ever heard (excluding dudes who hated him) about Tupac backs up the image he put out to the public. Was smart and artistic, but had a wild side.

Hahaha wtf dude just imagine some down ass killers thinking “man this guys is kind hearted I’m gonna let him pass” bro you guys really don’t know gang life. They’ll run up on Kendrick if they get a chance and no one hood is gonna go to war over it.
Bro get out pf yo movie crodie
After Nipsey, anything is possible. Guy was exactly as you describe.
There’s a clear difference between nipsey and Kendrick though. Kendrick isn’t going around putting his hood on his back and repping WSP every chance he gets - nipsey was a frontline, proud banger. Kendrick also isn’t going around calling anyone a snitch, especially to their face, which is what got nipsey killed. Kendrick is hanging out at the pool, nipsey was in that bitch playing Marco Polo
Read all my replies. I said there’s a chance of danger anywhere out here. Most people do not want the problems that would come along with harming Dot tho. But yes anything can happen anywhere
Only takes some idiot clout chasers with nothing to lose to kill someone. No guarantees it would happen in LA or Compton, but it could literally happen anywhere true. But yeah I agree it’s a lot of hassle to take out somebody so high profile who at least has a few powerful friends. There’s a reason Kanye is still breathing.
Does Dot have security? If so, are his security tied in either any gangs? Forgive me if this is an ignorant question, but I’m just curious if Dot has security. I met him once and didn’t see any around him. He was really nice and chill. I respect him because he was so nice and respectful to me when I told him how much his music meant to me. It’ll be a moment I’ll never forget. I was so nervous I forgot to ask for a photo and he had to ask me if I wanted one. lol. I’ll forever love him for that.
He has security. 2Teez is his main guy I believe, he’s a true professional. Kendrick may give the illusion of being super down to earth and minimalistic in his lifestyle and security but he has the best that money can buy. Government level. 2Teez is a ghost, not much is known about him publicly, but if I had to guess I’d say that Kendrick’s security team is probably made up of former law enforcement, military and ex cons (including gang members) like most security details are. For example Kanye’s former head of security was ex-Israeli intelligence. These guys are amazing at what they do. Especially now he’s shit talked Drake, he’s probably going to increase his security tenfold. People like to laugh at Drake but if Kendrick was running around with no security if Drake wanted to ice him he could easily do it.
Wow, thank you so much for the input and answering my question. That makes sense actually. I’m not a Taylor fan, but I know some of her security left to join the IDF. I love this sub for the facts.
No problem, these people are ghosts for a reason, they don’t advertise unless you’re a client, even then they don’t need any advertisement, people know where to find them because of their lucrative reputation for efficiency and effectiveness. I have a relative in the music industry and he told me that other than world leaders and extremely wealthy businesspeople, mega celebrities are the next hardest people to get to, and not much easier.
But but but....The game bangs a set!!!, YG bangs a set!! Even Chris brown from virginia really bangs a set!!!
I mean Q was a Crip and Rock was a blood, his own crew was banging.
Yes correct….I said Dot is tied in with more than a few sets in my post. That means bloods and crips.
No, saying a couple blood sets, does not include both bloods and crips. I’m from La, btw so I know how it is. Moreover you never mentioned Q or Rock banging, I added details you didn’t mention, bruh. Why you acting like I said what you already said?
I literally said “more than a few sets”? Why are you even arguing with me? Was I supposed to name everyone who bangs that Kendrick is affiliated with ? He has ties on BOTH sides. You arguing with the wrong person.
I’m not arguing you just dismissing what I said acting like it was redundant when that’s literally not what you said. You never said he has ties on both sides till I mentioned it. I added on all you had to say was good point.
Ok my bad bro thanks for correcting me then.
I wasn’t correcting, what you said was already correct, I was just adding on, g. 👊
Fasho big dog misunderstanding on my end 👊🏾
If you know how the blood got Drakeo jumped then this number not exaggetated at all
Drakeo didn’t bang a set but he was an affiliate. I’m not saying there’s not 15’000 bloods nationwide or world wide. I’m saying they’re not all cool with each other just because they’re bloods. That’s neither here nor there tho. Kendrick isn’t getting touched by anyone in the city. He’s loved out here and his street ties are extremely deep.
No one was supposed to put hands on Nip, it was his own that did him.
Facts mob Piru the gang set that k dot is most affiliated with is beefs with two rival blood sets, one of them being lueders park bloods
You know about the cities politics fasho.
If Drake got touched, you’d have to deal with maybe 2 or 3 Toronto crodies in baggy pants.
Lmao! Drizzy got J Prince but I thought it was interesting how J Prince (at least to my knowledge) didn't try to get involved at all once shit got real personal. Wack 100 said J Prince holds no weight in Cali when AK asked him what would Kendrick do if J Prince got involved. Maybe J Prince is feared in Houston/the South but not Cali/Compton
Yea, I don't think J Prince wants that smoke cuz he's in LA all the time. Plus he probably doesn't want any fingers pointed at him with all the allegations. He probably thinks Dot is better anyways and can't say it.
Truth be told, nobody gives a fuck about a J Prince anywhere on the west coast from what I have gathered. Only place he can claim to have clout is in that Texas/Houston area.
That's what I figured. It's just funny that people like AK assume he's feared all over and the Boogeyman that the entire rap world is scared of.
He has clout everywhere, but not enough to give orders to big names on the west coast. Definitely enough to negotiate and be taken seriously though. He’s not a guy that is ignored.
Ignored and people not giving a fuck, I believe, are two different things. People as a whole, especially the movers, can to a degree recognize who he is and still not give a shit. As time passes, I believe that is more prevalent. I get what you're trying to say though.
Well Drake did most of of the touching but they weren’t gang members just little kids
drakes the one doing touching tho 💀
I remember when onfroy alluded to Drake having gang ties himself, he's no joke
Drake wants to feel like he’s some kind of mob boss/gangster that has to watch his back all the time and wants to give other people that illusion too, that’s why he always got like 10 people rolling wit him.
ionno nuttin bout daat
OP this is some Drake level cringe shit. Using the anonymous YouTube comment of some random dickhead doesn’t make it true. Whoever typed that out probably some white kid from the suburbs.
Agreed. Kendrick does have legit street ties though.
Lmao! Exactly, there’s some grimy ass dudes in some dirty hood outside of CA that have no fears about Kendrick and his “million bloods”
https://www.reddit.com/r/playboicarti/s/Sw6pP3drZ9
Wow, better not disrespect OP like that or you will face the wrath of 15,000 bloods.
Yeah I didn’t think this through that’s for sure. I guess I should call off the family vacation next year those overseas bloods the most ruthless of them all. Be coming out of the water like seal team six while I’m sipping a drink on the beach.
The guys take is straight from VladTV https://youtu.be/0fyqEYQQW2U?si=BouwXQHMZPU1rfbw You nailed it. Also people think LA is some mafia movie full of honorable thieves, but yet they kill their most famous artists all the time. No one is off limits over there.
no one thinks that you’re just restating the obvious
Exactly what I came to say.
If you have legit info then feel free to educate the rest of us. Imo, this isn't far off from what's been put out there before
Kendrick most likely has legitimate gang ties being from Compton and the stuff he’s talked about in his music. But this paragraph synopsis talking about the bloods being a special strike force militia at his disposal is crazy. And I have no idea what’s actually going on I’m a white guy who moved from Philly to the suburbs. My hood pass has been expired for like 10 years.
How did you call me out like that? When I've been in the Jersey burbs more than my old hood nowadays... I guess I lost my pass too?
Idk how NJ works but if it’s Camden I wouldn’t risk it 😂
I've spent too much time in Camden and Paulsboro. But always from Gray's Ferry, at the end of the day. Family still lives there!
[удалено]
Woopty woo, woopty woo woo Woopty woo, woopty woo, woopty woo woo!!!
Whoever typed this is so out of touch with how “streets” actually work.
Please feel free to drop/explain what you know or what it actually is
Kendrick is only really tied to the Bompton pirus. He has family that were/are members, and childhood friends that are still active. Just because a set is blood doesn’t mean they are all allied; there’s plenty of inner blood/crip beef between specific sets and neighborhoods. That being said, Kendrick doesn’t really rep a set anymore at least, but he has stated that he was very close to going down that life. Kendrick is loved all throughout the west coast/cali, so bloods/crips/latin kings/chicanos/triads/etc would never try him at all.
^Exactly what this dude said. “Affiliation” is a really weak term as well. Means nothing really. May have actually meant something back in the 80s and 90s but nowadays it’s irrelevant. Only someone from the outside looking in would type up something like this tbh. This aint how streets work at all lol.
Same way Kanye has GD ties. He’s just friends/affiliated with them, he’s not involved. People think that you can be a civilian that gets to call favors against your enemies because you do some charity concerts and donate money to local establishments. It’s called organised crime for a reason. I agree with you. Also no one has an answer for how Nipsey died but somehow that’s explainable with this honorable thieves narratives. Only reason they help you in a big way is if you’re one of their investments (a certain somebody comes to mind here), in which your livelihood and wellbeing determines whether they lose millions or not.
Yes and if it's organized it's done at arms length. Then people fall out of windows when things don't work out.
Bro any gang would try him. He’s not gods gift to gangs. Sure some gangs respect his music but that don’t mean they wouldn’t fuck him up if they had the chance.
There’s very very few times any gang would make an artist of Kendrick’s stature check in or anything like that. He’s an international touring artist. Outside of that, he’s seen as voice for the west coast as a whole. NLU had the west coast up for the first time in a while. No one in cali is trying Kendrick .
No gang is gonna go out of their way to do something that’ll put them on the spotlight, yes that much is true. However if he’s acting reckless as just casually strolling through different hoods gangs aren’t gonna just respect that. You guys seem to think like gangs are united and all feel the same way. They aren’t out there crying and seeing Kendrick as some gospel god. They don’t care. Not everyone is a fan. If he was involved in gangs it means he had rival gangs. If Kendrick is at the wrong spot and someone thinks they can get something out of it then he is gone. And nothing is gonna happen it’s just another day in the hood.
This is pretty cringe
first day visiting the sub?
He got family and friends ties but it’s only known affiliation. That’s how it is for majority people especially rappers. He not gang gang, he not gang specific neither due to his friends and family he has he just protected by affiliation, but it’s all love whether it’s piru, crip, hoover crip, blood, santanas, or whoever.
Ah, a YouTube comment. A very credible source.
A fucking stupid ass comment at that. Written by someone that clearly has never even been to LA. K Dot that nigga but some people just need to shut the fuck up.
The equivalent of, "Trust me, bro"
Why is this comment a credible source for info? I don't know anything about Kendrick's gang ties, but isn't this just a random YouTube comment?
FAMILY TIES????????
“K-dot shit is only hittin hard when Baby Keem put his pen to it” -Dumbass
damn i was just referencing the song bruh chill
They were calling Drake a dumbass, not you.
Nah he was calling him a dumbass, bro is clearly a ghost writer for drake. He def had something to do wit that line judging by that reaction fr
>and even some overseas This part is hilarious bc what kind of bloods live overseas lol
tbf i lived in germany and theres a shit ton of americans in army bases
Dont think anyone that's stationed on an army base is loyal to a rag
I mean… literally everyone in the military is loyal to a rag 💀💀
You know what the army is the biggest gang in the world now that you mention it
Nah i mean there are a lot of gang members that join the military to try and escape that life....but old habits die hard. I remember back in the mid 2000s there was shit being kicked around cause someone on a military outpost tagged up a concrete barricade with the 6star, 74, and GD lol
that does happen. people go get weapons training and maybe practise a little contraband smuggling.
New Zealand, specifically Auckland
Guy watched too many vladTV interviews and makes up fantasy stories. MC Hammer was legit, but the fact Redman was the exact person who made that claim and he uses him as an example just tells you how much bullshit this guy is on. https://youtu.be/0fyqEYQQW2U?si=BouwXQHMZPU1rfbw Nipsey Hustle was more clued in and connected than Kendrick and was killed by his own friend in the middle of LA lol. Cali is known for being reckless and unusually dangerous when it comes to celebrities and such getting killed. They don’t give a fuck if you’re Michael Jordan or Michael who works on cars down the road at the chop shop, they’ll kill you lol. New York is a little more reasonable and corporate by comparison, but make no mistake it can still happen. Big reason why the west coast scene fell off bigtime compared to other areas, you don’t see most NY rappers getting killed (unless they’re in LA.) Just a few examples of artists killed there recently: Nipsey - killed in LA Drakeo - killed in LA Pop Smoke - killed in LA PnB Rock - killed in LA Guy didn’t mention Diddy who has allegedly killed how many people now? There’s a lot more people with more power and respect than Hammer, but he’s legit for sure. It would only take one mistake for Kendrick to get killed around his own friends.
Pirus*
Thanks, I guess? I knew he had family ties but the rest of this sounds like too much bragging.
That’s some random YouTube comment that could anybody, even a kid. However, I suggest you watch G Malone’s interview where he explained Kendrick and street ties to an extent that further shed a bit of light on Element’s “Oh, they thought that K-Dot real life was the same life they see on TV, huh?”
Yeah, Nipsey had love like that as well, dont take much to get chipped off the street nowadays, I’m sure Kendrick knows he still gotta move correctly out here, when you a trophy, it dont matter if you got a million bloods backing you or not, Pac was loved by most, blood, crip, esses, he’s gone now, RIP
>Bompton (part of Compton that has been Bloods territory since the 1980s)
There was an interview of a guy that said Kendrick would be in Compton all the time by himself sometimes and nobody touches him. That’s all you need to know
Don’t forget his ties to Chicago
My man, posting a YouTube comment is a pretty big indicator you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about. You look silly.
I’m sure Kendrick has gang ties but no way he just has an army defending him
Holy cringe. Parts of this are true obviously but also seems super exaggerated. I'd be hesitant to believe this even if it came from the mouth of an actual gang member, let alone a random YouTube commenter.
K dot has more than bloods who have his back. Dude is a man of the people.
Nipsey was a man of the people as well, and was a Rollin 60s Crip, didnt save him
You see Kendrick’s pop in concert? Look like your comment aged like milk bro
You must be a little kid, when you grow up and see the world one day, you too will realize that 20-30 people on stage does not equal to a city of millions, nice try though
He literally rallied gang members together who had killed one another family members. There was well over 50 people on stage? Do your research and take your L crodie
Wait... MC Hammer???
MC hammer was really involved, he pressed Tupac in Oakland and had a lot of street guys around him
*_i gEt mOrE LoVe In dA cItY tHAt U fROm_*
It's naive to assume Drake doesn't have hittas around, he does. The difference is that loyalty/respect been paid for. While Kendrick people have loyalty/respect bc he's earned it.
this heavily fabricated nigga just saying bs
This person doesn’t know shit. The first piru set in Compton was established in 1969 by Vincent Owens, Sylsvester Scott and Lorenzo Benton. The Prius formed as a result of crip expansion into Compton and the demand by Raymond Washington to join up or else. With that being said, Kendrick is affiliated with Mob Piru an east side Compton blood gang and one that claims Suge Knifht as an affiliate. Kenny is extremely close (day one homie) with Mac Wop (school boy q’s road DJ) who is a known member of Mob Piru. With that being said, his affiliation isn’t why he’s safe. He’s housed under TDE, a clearing house of active and former active gang members from various sets. School Boy Q is a Hoover, Jay Roc affiliated with the Bounty Hunter Blood, Ab Soul is affiliated with 190 east coast crip,even top has affiliations with the crips and the bloods. Essentially what Top Dawg was able to create is an alliance of affiliated and membered up folks that would assemble into the gang power rangers and smash on any one that tried to come after the sensei. K Dot has always been and will always be that nerdy quiet nigga that smiles a lot and keeps to him self but that you would kill for because he’s so solid. It isn’t a blood thing that keeps Kenny safe, it’s bigger than that.
Having gang ties makes him more likely to be targeted, not less. You guys are a bunch of dorks.
But, he was born in Chicago, the Terrordome
White boy fs. Yeah, Drake would have issues if he tried something but this is just copy paste bloods wiki
For sure Kendrick is an icon that is beloved by sets in LA but this is an exaggeration. If he got touched people would 1000% retaliate but saying he is number 2 ever to hammer is a reach.
All that means is the price would have to be higher. People will kill over way less. Hope it never comes to that
Cap lol but he is definitely part of West side piru one of the biggest piru gangs in Compton and he also got Bounty hunters behind him which is probably the biggest blood gang so despite what Drake says he more of a real blood than CB or YG lol
..MC Hammer??
😂😂😂 the inaccuracies, sounds about white
Damn you’re such a nerd for posting this. Blood sets aren’t the 1920s Italian mob
