(AllHipHop News) There has long been a claimed association between music artists and the Bloods. Two of those performers that have been connected to the Los Angeles based street gang are Lil Wayne and Chris Brown. During an interview with Sway In The Morning, West Coast legend and longtime Bloods affiliate DJ Quik was asked about Weezy and Breezy’s alleged Piru ties.

“It’s kind of honoring, but it’s laughable too at the same time,” said Quik. “They don’t really know what that s**t is about. We took that s**t way seriously. We were trying to survive through that s**t. They got it too easy.”
Quik went on to say that anyone in the industry that is claiming Bloods really needs to be about the lifestyle. The Midnight Life album creator adds artists should not use the “red flag” as a marketing ploy to get street credibility, because there are individuals that have real issues with Bloods and will test them.
