That "gang sign" in the picture done by a white guy is not actually used by the gang. It is only done by white frat-guys to impress their friends. The fact that its a white guy flashing it in the picture is pretty revealing.

True, that blood sign isnt really used at all. And the fact that it looks like a 14 year old white kid really gives the wrong image for the group. Please remove it. fuck the bloods they are fucking slobs FUK CKRABS SUWOOP CK ALL DAY ERRY DAY BLOOD 4 LYPHE C187 SSSUUWWWOOPPP

Maybe the picture doesn't feel authentic because the guy is white and not wearing head to toe gang tats and colors, but that sign is in fact used by real Bloods. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.176.14.100 (talk) 02:25, August 24, 2007 (UTC)

Yes, agreed, that sign isnt thrown by bloods.

not because he's whits, but because it just isn't.

so there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.54.133.215 (talk) 11:19, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There are several symbols used by bloods. Some would be a 5 poinded star, very similar to a pentagram. MOB which stands for man of blood or member of blood, the letter "B" with and arrow pointed up or the letter "C" with an arrow pointed down. Naw Mugzy D.R.E.(tampa) needz 2 b added he got affiliationz wit' da Lokout Piru Bloods gang

Lil Wayne and Birdman need to be added to the entertainers associated with bloods.

As well as Juelz Santana. Santana is a NTG, I think. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.23.61.156 (talk) 04:23, August 26, 2007 (UTC)

aint jay rock from bounty hunter bloods? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.110.162.81 (talk) 20:34, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Umm, I don't know what exact gang they were in but, if you watch stuntin like my daddy video by lil wayne and birdman you'll see that they wear their red bandanas on the right side.

Also, I don't know if this is true, maybe someone can back up this info, but I think maybe if they can get it they tattoo a tear by their eye to represent blood. I don't know, but I've seen The game, birdman, and lil wayne have tears/blood tatooed by their eyes.

A tattoo of a tear under your eye means u either killed sumone, or sumone close to you was killed.

Should the article on the United Bloods Nation and this one be merged since they are pretty much the same gang and just add the number of UBN members to the overall gang membership.

The United Bloods Nation is primarily a prison gang. They are however affiliated with the Bloods as a whole, but not all Blood sets are UBN members, so we should not merge the two. Jmm6f488 05:40, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

7-30-07 - Young Dez needs to be added as an entertainer who is a Blood, he is Bloodstone Villain. Lil Wayne and Birdman are Bounty Hunters. Rap group 4sho Ent also is said to have ties with Bloods. Coota Bang from swishahouse is also a blood, dont know his set though. You can also add Houston Texas' main blood gang is the 5-9 Bounty Hunters. Paul wall also has ties to them. i couldnt edid the page to add all this but if you can that would be great.

The UBN is no longer in exsistence. Did you realize when the UBN WAS around that piru sets and brim sets and swans, bishops and hunters never had wars with eachother? Well now there is no UBN that is bringing them all together and all these sets are warring with eachother. There is no more real bloods. They all broke apart. I know a piru set that beefed with a G-ShYne set.

no, he aint he has south side queens crip affiliations

50's not a Crip. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.47.140.222 (talk) 22:09, 31 August 2007 (UTC) 50 cent is a blood, hes apart of the G-ShYne set. I can back it up as well. And there is no south side queens crip. I live in Flushing, Queens and the only crips around here are the pamanolck crip. There is however a G-Shyne crip and blood in the Bland housing projects and a FOLK nation family in the latimeir housing projects.[reply]

In response to the 'tear' or 'blood' thats by the eye of the rappers [or anyone for that matter]...its not blood, its a tear. and it represents the death of someone. Normally committed by the person with the tear on their eye: meaning a tear for every person they have killed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.99.106.254 (talk) 17:03, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

perhaps something about the gang call "WOOP-WOOP, SUH-WOOP" (the police car sound) should be added because Bloods use it like Crips use the Crip whistle. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.176.14.100 (talk) 02:22, August 24, 2007 (UTC)

Bloods do use Soowooop. AND PEOPLE, THE BLOOD CALL IS NOT BRATT, it is soowooop. I know alot of kids from the bland housing projects and i am very knowledgable on this subject. lol thats why im here.

NO 50 CENT IS NOT A BLOOD HES A BUSTA IN SOME SONG HE SAYS HE A BLOOD BUT LIKE IN (Strait To The Bank) HES SAYS HE WOULD CRIP WALK TO THIS

Why is United Bloods Nation listed as a rival gang? Isn't that just the prison version of the Bloods? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.176.14.100 (talk) 02:27, August 24, 2007 (UTC) YEAH UBN IS JUST LATIN KINGS PIRUS BLOODS AND PEOPLE NATION THEY AINT RIVALS —Preceding unsigned comment added by BTKc (talk • contribs) 21:41, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

piru is an evil spirit or demon in Finnish mythology so maybe piru gang members throw it up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.109.214.133 (talk) 21:19, August 30, 2007 (UTC)

...devil horns? thats mexican crips aka ms-13 lol thats what me and my friends call them. But i NEVER seen a blood throw up any horns. Maybe when theyre stacking it seems like that are but theyre probley throwing up the crown.

MS-13 aren't Crips. NO SHIT MEXICAN GANGS ARE AGAINTS BLACK GANGS

Mexican gangs aint always against black gangs. The Game even said in his 300 bars song, "So if u aint a BLOOD or a LATIN KING".... meaning they cool and roll with each other. Game a blood and always talks about only associating with other bloods and latin kings. —Preceding unsigned comment added by shut the fuk up

Latin Kings aren't Mexican they're Puerto Rican. Mostly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.92.175.76 (talk) 16:44, 13 December 2007 (UTC) 70.118.139.235 (talk) 04:53, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I know MS13 uses the devilhorns, but I've also seen Bloods stacking it. What does it mean or how does it represent the Bloods Gang? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.176.14.100 (talk) 00:15, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay I was mistaken it was the People NAtion Crown, not the horns.

Is it true they are starting to bang brown??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sureno-thug13 (talk • contribs) 15:48, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand the Eastside-Westside thing. I've heard of ES Crips and WS Crips, and also Westside Bloods, but never Eastside Bloods. Are there Eastside Blood Gangs? What is the meaning of Eastside and Westside, do the terms refer to the west and east coast or the west and east half of LA? Do Eastside and Westside Crips fight each other?

I've noticed even though there is a talk header about using this for actual improvments, I'm still only seeing IP holders using this for disscussion about the Bloods....please stop and discess it at the appropiate sites, and discuss actual issues with the article and provide actual reliable, verifiable sources.

I have read that Bloods and Latin Kings are allied from Chicago eastward, but I have also read that Bloods and Latin Kings are ENEMIES Chicago eastward and that Bloods calle the LKs Bumblebees. Can anyone tell me for a fact if Bloods and LKs are allied, I thought they were in the same gang nation?

First of all, the Blood gang sign is the letter b thrown with the thumb and forefinger, not the whole word Blood! That's just for show! Second of all, there is no real list of Blood Gang identifiers, such as the gang call SUH WOOP, clothing worn to the right west of Chicago or to the left east of Chicago (this does not apply in the south. I'm sure someone out there has some actual facts on Bloods that could be added. This article hasn't been edited in months, so undo the pointless lock!

PLEASE ADD THIS TO THE ARTICLE! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.176.14.100 (talk) 04:45, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not even 5 minutes ago I said that the Latin Kings article was the worst article on wikipedia....looks like I was wrong......I have a feeling that every single one of these "pop" Gang articles is like this.....I think someone who knows what they are talking about should write these articles and then they should be locked forever... and 4 yall bitchs its not no dam (swoop)yall niggaz makin us b.l.o.o.d.s look bad yall need 2 chill wit all da gossip....soo woo E.W.F BLOODGANG FUCK CRIP!!!!!!!

So, what started the rivalry between the bloods and the crips and all the other gangs that merged or were affiliated?? I wish that would be somewhere in the articles. I learned who were the founders of each gang, I learned what gangs had conflicts and what gangs merged together. But I didn't learn anything about WHY the gangs had conflicts with each other in the first place. I wanna know. I wanna know why these young people (and some old) are out there killing each other because of a color or a hand gesture. SOMEBODY TELL ME!!75.168.1.207 (talk) 20:14, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

its just something that happened way back. on the history chanel they review this stuff and it says that crips and bloods were created to protect black neighbourhoods from the spanish ones. then when all hell broke loss it became about dealing drugs and other stuff like that. now its because of colours or what hood you were raised in. and in one of lil waynes songs he metions soowoop it goes like this "soowoop game, n if u aint wit it then u in the food chain..." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.227.112.19 (talk) 20:53, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
