Album: Age Against The Machine (2013)

Songfacts®:

  • This song explores the impact gang culture has had on American society. Goodie Mob member Big Gipp hails from Atlanta, Georgia but explained during the album's listening party that he learnt about the Los Angeles-based Bloods and Crips gangs through touring in the mid-1990s with Snoop Dogg and Tha Dogg Pound. "Now, in 2013, gang culture has taken over America," he said. "The gang culture, we never knew it would be that strong and manifest itself in the South."

  • DsgbGipp is NHC, listen to the last verse on Whatcha Know by Three 6 Mafia where he says it outright. Goodie Mobb definitely not Damu lol if you listen to GM and OutKast it’s plenty of Crip references
  • Rey Ghostface from TnBig Gipp is Lincoln Park Piru from Denver when he was young. Goodie is all Damu just not sure who is what or if they all affiliated with Gipp. I think one of them gotta be BPS Bloods/Jungles because they always make a pose making a Pyramid. The vid for I’m Set is a perfect example.
