ScHoolboy Q Calls His Gang Past “Embarrassing”

    ScHoolboy Q has been open about his gangbanging past as a member of the Crips. In a recent interview on Hot 97, ScHoolboy Q spoke about initially joining the gang.

    “When I joined the set, it was an accident,” said Q. “My homie said, he was about to do it, I’m like, ‘I’ma go, too, let’s go.'”

    The TDE emcee explained how one goes about joining the gang. “First, you have to grow up in the set… For two, you have to know at least more than one person. You gotta be kickin’ it with ’em. Gotta be going to school with them or something. He know your momma, your auntie, or somethin’. And three, you can’t be no mark. You gotta have heart.”

    Despite his time as a Crip being an integral part of his past, ScHoolboy Q revealed it wasn’t something he was proud of. “It’s not something I’m into no more,” he said. “It’s embarrassing for me to even really be talking about it in detail. …I look at it as retarded. Like, why would I go and do all that type of stuff, and take time away from my daughter?”

    Q expounded upon a point he made last year that Oxymoron, his upcoming album,is about fatherhood and Crip history, specifically regarding his album cover, which features his daughter giving a mean mug. “The oxymoron in this album is that I’m doing all this bad to do good for my daughter. That’s why I’m robbin’. That’s why I’m stealin’. …Whatever it is that I’m talking about in my album negative, it’s always for a good cause, for my daughter.”

    1. Aye cuh u aint never hear Eazy-e(grape street crip) or Snoop Dog or Young Jeezy regretting their gang past and calling embarassing.

      God damn smh new niggas tryna throw a shade on the crip sets.
      U aint SEE NO BLOOD DO THAT!
      Crip Crip CRIP!

      1. Eazy-E wasn’t shit but a middle class nigga, any real nigga from Compton will confirm that, he was allowed to rep crips just because he broke bread with them niggas, so in other words he payed to be a gang member

    2. Usually I refrain from correcting people’s grammar, even on this site where there is plenty of opportunities. But when I can’t get through the first sentence much less the first 10 words without seeing a word that is not only misspelled but is actually another word entirely which changes the whole meaning that the sentence was intended to describe; this I cannot forgive.

    3. Dude is growing up – good to hear him denounce his gang past, to use his own words – being in a gang is “retarded”.

    4. Ay my nigga Fig and Jefferson we comin for u! USC Crip my nigga. Ima catch yo ass at Chano’s eatin a burrito my nigga. Gunshot crip, Gardena my nigga. Nah im just kiddin. Schoolboy dope.

    5. being a snoover is retarded cuz music go but he know he lyin his ass off he just getting dat rap bread so he gotta act like he sorry r30llin doe 52112k

    6. Says he is ’embarrassed’ by his gang past, but also still capitalises the ‘H’ in his name to represent the Hoover Crips.

      Retard.

      1. The Capital H is symbolic of the HiiiPower Movement, to which all Black Hippy members are affiliated. It’s not a gang ode, lol.

      2. hoover crips was the answer i got when i asked people why he capitalizes the H in everything he write on twitter, etc…

      3. I did read the article. My point remains the same – If he’s embarrassed talking about it then why capitalize the ‘H’ which will lead people to ask about it.

        To the Hiiiipower guy – you’re a retard, fuck up.

    7. Just waiting on this cat`s album to drop so bad,,he been yapping to much,,even said Jay z s nicer than Nas,,still mad at that…im waiting for the bootleg

    8. Real talk, being over 10 years old and being in a gang IS embarrassing. Them circle jerks are for lost kids with shit for brains. Now, I respect the family side of it but not much else. This dude is 27 year old, with a real family, I’m happy to hear he’s having his priorities straight and taking care of them instead of gangbanging and subjecting his kid to the same destructive path that’s only keeping the youth down and locked up.

    9. Haters, ScHoolboy been putting on several songs that go beyond the standard good songs and as soon as he voices his opinion about Jay-Z vs Nas you start dumpin shit talk on him? I do consider Nas as a clear winner of that old legendary beef but still respect the fact that people got own opinions about things.

      Start seeing shit with positivity and light instead of hating since it only brings nothing or negativity.

      BLESS TDE CREW.

      1. Transexuals are the future. Most feminine trannies with fake tits and asses are hotter than comparable biological women.

        Real niggas know this and accept that it’s just the way that it is. In a perfect world it would be socially acceptable to date and fuck them, the hot passable ones that is.

      2. Your right, I just googled some of them & they have such huge tittas & bootys, the ones with big huge dicks are hot too.

    10. what gang past, he aint shot nothing robbed nothing or killed nothing! dude in his early 20’s! he acting like he snoop or something

      1. WHAT THE FUCK?! ScHoolboy Q is like 26. Snoop Doggy Dogg was 18 when he got signed by Dr, Dre to Death Row. What the fuck is u talkin bout? YOU DON’T KNOW SHIT!

      1. Except killing other people, beating up people, maybe a little drug traffic, probation & possibly some jail time, sounds fantastic to me.

    11. dont none of yal kno his past.. jus cuz how he dress dont mean shit.yal actin like yal got special powers where yal can look into there past lives. shut the fuk up yal ignorant bout la gang culture

    12. Dope article Roman.

      Couple things. I think you used the wrong inference of “gangbanging.” I believe this one is commonly associated with the adult film entertainment industry. It should be “gangbangin'”.

      Also, following “gangbanging,” I believe it should be “past” instead of “pass.”

      Again, dope article.

      b

      1. I just started 6 weeks ago and I’ve gotten 2 check for a total of $2,200…this is the best decision I made in a long time! “Thank you for giving me this extraordinary opportunity to make extra money from home. This extra cash has changed my life in so many ways, thank you!”

      1. hahah love that you picked that out. i can’t speak on the oxy, but sChoOlbOy-que is for sure a moron

    13. stop lying…this where young brothers start to mess up and play politics just to appease other people..BE YOURSELF! no regrets.

    14. That nigga Quincy a real active gangbanger everyone in the city know that eh part of the 52 Hoover set even done a little dirt for the butch made tyga. Truth is everyone in LA at them times had a affiliation to a set and niggas in LA won’t let LA rappers claim sets with ought getting checked

    15. everything about sChoOlboYq is embarrassing. mediocre music, his hat, riding the rest of TDE’s artists hard. and his gang ties are what he’s worried about. dudes priorities are way outta wack

    16. Reading these comments is the equivalent of watching a bunch of retards & mental cripples tryin to fight one another….if ignorance is bliss this is the most blissful group of mufukkas I’ve ever encountered
