i dont bang & i know what youre saying about not getting that respect. but real recognise real, & if you just show everyone, pirus, bloods, crips, ese, whoever that you is out to get yours, youll gain that respect, bottom line.
from little things i did in dago, has gotten me connects with some real westcoast bosses. just keep grinding & if u rubb elbows with a big dog, dont ride the jock & try to impress him, just kick back & let him know u a spitter. but dont go begging for him to do a track or something like that, cuz that can turn a good connect into someone who cant stand your ass!
