Also, I love your explanation of the West Coast families, how they were recognized as ” Families" as a mechanism for peace and profitability, more so than they were these huge organizations. Like carlitosway pointed out, a mechanism for networking above all else. THIS IS WHAT LCN is/was about, networking, the question of what exactly makes a family a family still kinda comes up a lot. These would have been considered crews otherwise, by a lot of people's definition of " Family".

Good, good stuff, all you guys in here....appreciated
