While he’s known more for his stoner songs, Afroman’s first album, My Fro-losophy, featured lots of references to the Crips, which he belonged to while living in South Central as a kid. Afroman spoke on how he joined the Eight Tray Gangsters in his neighborhood to get respect, but it was when he moved to a rival Rolling 60’s school that he got into a bit of trouble.

To hear more of what Afroman encountered during his gang life, and how his dad moved his family out of the neighborhood, hit the above clip.
