In this clip, BG Knocc Out recounted being approached to be on the infamous Los Angeles gang mixtape ‘Bangin on Wax’ which saw a number of gang-banging rappers diss their enemies in songs with titles that made Vlad cringe. BG Knocc Out said that he knew at least four people who died as a result of something they said on that album.

Here's the thing. Most of them died from normal gang violence. But those albums did put a different target on them because it Gave them status on top of street cred. So not only were they targeted from rival hoods. The rival hoods also wanted that name under they belt. Not only did you get a rival you got a rival that made a name for his self and hood on record. IF one of them was caught slippin. Most of the time it was no pass givin. The opp wanted that name. That bangin on wax name carried a big stripe IF you got one of em.

I had that BOW album. I remember the first time I heard Piru Love, it was on the radio. I went out and got the BOW tape. I unwrapped the plastic and took the tape out and it was blue on 1 side and red on the other. I also remember hearing the interview about how the cats out in LA felt that too many of these young Black males were constantly getting murdered over colors and this gangbang shit. So they decided that instead of killing one another for real, why don't we bang on each other in the studio with the music. I thought, that's not a bad idea. At the end of the day, everybody walks away, these guys go back home to their families, nobody gets hurt, nobody gets shot. And sadly, a lot of these guys still got murdered because of the music... which kills the whole point of even making the album. Smdh.

Banging on Wax had a peace treaty between the artist themselves. The streets were a different beast tho. It was open season on those artist. Glad to see Knoccout alive by making the right choice and blessing us with this story.

[@antoniojohnson8443]

My cousin went to school with Redum and his brother CK at Morningside High in Inglewood. Funny story is that when I was in middle school in the summer of 93 we were traveling from Tacoma Washington to Compton on the Greyhound Bus and we met this goofy dude who said that Lil Stretch was his cousin. We laughed and when got to the bus station sure enough Lil Stretch was there to pick him up.

[@Kali0790]

Bangin on Wax was literally a Black on Black crime album. Gladly the direction of the relationship changed between Bloods and Crips with the contribution of duets like: 1. Dub C and Mack 10 2. The Game and Snoop Dogg 3. Nipsey Hussle and YG To help break that "crip vs blood" cycle. There should be a 2023 version of Bangin On Wax featuring different rap artists from different sets. Name brand and off brand artists and everybody showing respect to the opposite side while promoting Black racial unity

[@n8vmob613]

Sounds good and its a nice sentiment, but the title of that album would be 'how to get banned from the set.' Too much blood has been spilled for a project like that to be received well by the targeted audience. Gang culture is inherently negative. The only gang members I've seen make a positive impact are those who've stepped down and renounced their former lifes. In Snoops autobiography he details how his own set was out to get him and thats what inspired him to commit to rap.

[@Kali0790]

@@JKorver A lot of them dudes on the B.O.W album probably were cool but you have to think of all the viewers and listeners who weren't rappers but still gangbangin that didn't appreciate the opposite sides disrespect and all the street violence as a result of it. Back in the 90s when B.O.W released their weren't many Crips and Bloods ridin together. Rappers that derived from various sets were cool but didn't translate into the streets. Street level Bloods and Crips didn't finally become cool like they are today until the late 2000s way later from B.O.W. At the time of that album it was straight beef between the red side and blue side no matter what was goin on in the music business.

I was in Compton when that album came out. Never liked it. Knew people who were in the video who are no longer here. Compton Crip on Compton Crip…. gang banging. Crip on Crip at that time was far worse than Crip on Piru. The wars that were going on before the truce are still going on today. Nutty Blocc is still beefing with Farms, Acacia, and Spooktown. Smoke from Nutty killed, Lil Jay from Spooktown killed. It’s terrible because at the end of the day, everybody involved is Black. 1950’s Blacks weren’t wanted in Compton…. 1980’s Blacks full on killing each other in Compton.

Bangin' On Wax was actually created in order to make peace. The concept was to get them to bang on wax instead of bangin' on the streets. Sin Loc who was Eazy-E's cousin was a big part of that first record and he has always stressed this. The '90s was just horrible in Compton. Just utter madness. I do get BG Knocc Out's point though. Him and Eazy did give props to certain sets though

[@WILD__THINGS]

Thats what they say but in reality it was just a way to profit off gang banging. The gang members might have been peaceful towards each other while they were recording but those albums influenced tons of young people around the country to become bloods or crips so in the end was it really a good thing?

[@fatherg.o.d.2852]

What the WHITE Exects told them and what The BLACK Staff and Rappers thought,Purpose and Mission was. Truth is the WHITE EXECTS Real Purpose was to Spread Gangbanging through the Music and make it look Cool. Blacks Never Figure out Bamboozle and Reverse Physcology from Whites until its too late. THINK ABOUT THIS. How in the Hell are You Influencing GANG BANGERS to Bang on Wax?? 1.Gang Banging is connected to Thuggery,Gangsterism,Fighting Territory and Turf Controlling which is STREET STUFF which has NOTHING to do with making no Damn MUSIC. Gang Banging is a Form of Art,Hobby, Sport,and Activity within Itself. 2. There were Hundreds Thousands to Millions of Crips and Bloods at the Time of The Bangin on Wax, How in the Hell are You Influencing Them to RAP BANG when Only about 30% Max of them Could Rap and had a Desire to Be a Rapper ?? Last but Not Least No Blood or Crip Rapper would Succeed Being a GANG BANGER RAPPER Only.

That first Bangin On Wax Album was Nutz from a visual and sound perspective. Two words, Piru Love. Timeless Song. The beat, down to the voices were matched up perfectly for that song. Made you feel like you were in a oldschool with switches with jerry curl juice drippin on ya dickies and chucks while loading up the guns to go put in some work at 11:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. The Shock Value of the Album cover alone was kind of crazy, even compared to today's Drill rappers. All of these Drill Rappers wear skinny jeans with all black hoodies pull over s to cover their face. No matter if you have 100 bodies, dressing in dark low colors and being skinny and short is not intimidating from a visual standpoint. On that BOW Album cover, you had tall big cats, and even females wearing them loud @$$ Blue and Red bandanas over there faces, leather gloves, Bats, All Blue and Red outfits, no faces were shown. And to top it all off they had one of the Crip Homies in a Freddie Kruger Mask (as a teen we were like they on some other ish lol) rumor is that was BattleCat in that Mask (longtime Snoop and Dogg Pound Producer, alongside Daz) He also produced the majority of Domino's first album, who was also on that album, Classic songs = Here We Go and Sweet Potatoe Pie. I remember my crip cousins from L.A. back then telling me that album wasn't a good look because it made everybody on that album way more of being targets from their rivals because of the spotlight that they got from it. Heard rumors of it being a collateral damage/deaths on a few peoples family members and friends by just being associated. Alot of people on that album didn't die violently, but alot of them did. Don't get it twisted, i remember an old interview that they did after the album was out for awhile, and they said that they were marked and targeted way harder after doing that album. B.G. made the right decision back then. The shock value of that album at the time was over the top in my opinion.

Smart man right here. This confirms these records labels, who probably give 2 fs about the artist or music period, will trick these artists 2 jail or the grave 4 profit. These record labels more gangster than the gangsters. Yikes

He stated to me a few years later he regretted even selling that BS and threw every single cd/tape in the garbage about a month after trying to sell it. It is obvious the powers that be (non blacks) created this to further the destruction of black people and guess what, IT worked and is still working. We black folks are the most manipulated group of people on planet Earth FACTS!!

Maybe it's regional cause when it first came out it got airplay here in Dallas until the stations realized what they were talking about. Their videos were the most requested on a video channel down here where you pay to have a video shown. And when I would go and see my cousin who lived in Compton back in 98' everyone knew about those guys. That was gangsta rap music in the 90's, it just was what it was.

[@marlonthompson4539]

@@kj5394 because in theory, it was supposed to be a outlet and opportunity for gang members to make songs and some money instead of gangbanging, and try to put a halt to the madness of gangbanging at that time. But if you didn't know the story behind it, didn't care about the story, if you were rapping on this album dissing gangs, or bumping this around the wrong people, more than likely it's not gonna end well because a lot of people aren't gonna take to kindly to that. It was a real controversial album that mainstream didn't wanna touch by a mile. Drive thru a Crip hood bumpin damu riders or go thru a blood hood bumpin nationwide rip ridas. Won't be pretty.
