Crips and bloods are African-American gangs. They do not have a mafioso mentality. Even though some African-American (to meet the MODS standards) gangs are involved in some of the same type of crimes as the mafia or LCN is, and they rap about being mobsters in their rap craps (not songs) they will never be. Wannabe Italian Americans is exactly what they are! Don't get me wrong I love some hip hop and some of it can be considered music.
