Rollin 60s Neighborhood Crips

From Rap Dictionary

The West Side (W/S) Rollin 60s Neighborhood Crips are a long standing African American street gang based in Los Angeles, California. In 1976, the Rollin' 60's formed as a faction of the original Crip gang, the Westside Crips, and have since grown. There are different theories on how the name was derived and at the time many of the gangs were named after the streets within their respective neighborhoods. One theory was that 60th Street "rolled" through the entire neighborhood, which today extends 27 blocks south from 48th Street to 75th Street, and west from Western Avenue to Overhill Drive. The Rollin 60s are considered the most violent and notorious black gang in all of LA County. Their main rival is the Eight Tray Gangster Crips to the East and have been so for over thirty years [1]. The Rollin 60s Neighborhood Crips, although commonly beefing with other Crip sets, also rival the Van Ness Gangster Brims, a Bloods set directly north of their turf. Other gangs considered enemies of the Rollin 60s include all Inglewood Bloods such as the Inglewood Family Gang, the Crenshaw Mafia Gang, Neighbor Hood Pirus, Harvard Park Brims, Rollin 20s Neighborhood Bloods, and the Black P Stones. Among the Crips, the Rollin 60s have waged war against the Hoover Criminals (in particular the 52 Hoover Gangster Crips, 59 Hoover Criminals Gang, 83 Hoover Criminals Gang and the 74 Hoover Criminals Gang), the 51 Trouble Gangster Crips, Grape Street Watts Crips, all Avalon Gangster Crips, the Mansfield Gangster Crips and the School Yard Crips. The Rollin 60s Neighborhood Crips control a territory around Slauson Avenue to the north, and are bounded by Florence to the south. They are also bounded by the Eight Tray Gangster Crips on Western Avenue, to the east. Members are identified by tattoos as other gang members and throw up the "deuces" but with a thumb (2 fingers and a thumb). Also, like other Crip sets, they wear blue and mark their territory with blue graffiti. This gang is considered a Neighbor Hood Crips set and are allies of other Neighbor Hood Crips such as the 67 Neighbor Hood Crips, 55 Neighbor Hood Crips and 46 Neighbor Hood Crips as well as the East Coast Crips, Rollin 40s Neighborhood Crips and the Rollin 90s Neighborhood Crips. The 60s and all the Rollin 0's were allied during the 1980s but that is not the case today. In 2003 City Attorney filed a gang injunction against the Rollin 60s Crips and they had specified 31 men that were members of the 60s, but some have suggested that the 60s were being unfairly targeted and some mentioned that the injunction included individuals that had not had police contact in years.
