I'm from Merced so let me lay it down to you.........
Young Droop along with all his brothers are all affiliated with N-S-P (North Side Piru) located on the 1800 block of Merced county on the street Loughborough which is the street that the mall and several chain stores is located at. Loughborough is known to be a dangerous spot. You always here about chicks committing suicide and blowin' their brains out because of the mad drama in their homes. Alot of Hustling goes on and alot of gang activity goes on there that's why a few years back the city of Merced decided to place a police station in the middle of all the activity right in between a pizza place and 7-Eleven. Loughborough has 2 known gangs to my knowledge. First off, there's L-B-L (Loughborough Lokez) which are Northside Nortenos and then there is N-S-P which happens to be one of the most known blood gangs in Merced. Each year we get more and more bloods in Merced that get transferred from the pens because the government knows they will be well accepted here due to wherever you go in Merced, you going to see people claiming red. We have alot of bloods from Atlanta, Georgia coming to Merced from the state pen out there, we have many coming Inglewood and San Jose. They are all family tied. It don't matter if they're Damu or Piru, they kick it together. They refer to each other as "kin-folk". Most bloods placed in Merced are being moved and located to a more rural area of Merced which is the West. Everywhere you go in Merced you'll here people reppin' the West Side Merced even if they don't even live or protect in this territory. I'll admit there are plenty of wannabe's all over but they got slapped upside the head by the true b.g.'s and o.g.'s of this town. We have a few crips gangs in Merced but just can't find no way to dominate. Most crips in Merced are developed as wannabe's who follow rappers like Snoop Dogg, Looney Coleone, C-Bo, and more underground people. The biggest wannabe crew in Merced is called PMC (Playaz Mafia Camp) which are a bunch of high school and jr. high kids trying to bang and act hard but most the time get their azz whipped unless they team up on you when you're alone. One thang fa' sho' is that no mutha fucka ever fucks with any asian gang because those mutha fuckaz are down to die for anything. There are asian bloods in Merced such as the M-O-D's (Men Of Destruction) which are always envied by the asian crip gangs such as True Blue, PNT (Playaz N Thugz) and some more crews I ain't heard of before. The most dominating gangs in Merced overall are the Norteno gangs which their roots goes way back in the past. Merced use to be run by the "Surenoz" which I and my peoples refer to as skrapz or sewer ratz. When there were conflicts in the pens for pride, colors, and justice, the gang called "La M" split into 2 different entities. One being the Norteno gang and one being the skrap gang. Nortenoz fresh out the pen put in alot of work and managed to scare off the surenoz and started the biggest gang war of Merced's history which ended with the banning of all skrap gangs in Merced County. If you're mexican wearing alot of blue in Merced, you will find trouble by people who bang and don't bang. What use to be the South Side in Merced, is now called the West in tribute to the power struggle and dedication to the Norteno gang. The biggest Norteno gangs in Merced is D-E-L (Dead End Lokez) which comes followed by M.G.B (Merced Ghetto Boyz) and W-S-N (West Side Nortenoz). There are other block gangs that protect their territory but they just represent their block and the almighty West Side til' the death of it.
To answer a few questions, Hurrikaine J is half mexican and half black and he's a Norteno and o.g. now and one of the originators of gansta rap in Merced with his rap crew "Low Down" and he's all a part of the largest rap group in history "Minority Militia" which holds that record in the Guinness Book of World Records. Be sure to cop your 2003 edition of the Guinness Book to check him out along with Young Droop, Stone Cold, my self (Rid Bone) and lots of rappers in the 209 who also happens to be in Minority Militia. Well, that's about it for now. I could go into lots of details about our gangs in Merced but I ain't that much time for it. Well I hope I answered a few questions. Holla back with more if you got any more. One Luv yal....peace....
