Bangin In HillTop - When the Crips Took Over Tacoma - 1980's

In this video will show you what happened when the Crips moved up to Seattle, and Tacoma, WA in the 1980's.
This was at a time when crime was sky high, and the Crips and bloods were still engaged in heavy warfare in Los Angeles.
In the early 1980's these kids watched as older gangsters from Los Angeles took over their neighborhoods when they were growing up, now they would
be the one's running the show.
This is when two brothers Diamond, and Malone Boyd from the Hilltop neighborhood in Tacoma, would start the largest organization the northwest had ever seen the HillTop Crips.
This was at a time when Los Angeles organizations had already taken over the HillTop, and the Eastside of Tacoma.
The Pirus were an organization from Compton, that is closely associated with the bloods, these two groups are not quite the same, but they ussually roll together here, the biggest difference being that the Pirus are from Compton, and the Bloods are from Los Angeles.
The Pirus where Pirates baseball hats with the "P" on them, and ussually where burgundy instead of bright red.
The Pirus would ally with the 44 Lokoz from Los Angeles, and become the biggest organization that dominated the Eastside, known as the Eastside Piru.
Eventually these two groups would bump heads, and become the biggest street war, Washington state had ever seen.
This fight would divide Tacoma against, with the I-5 as the battle line between the two side, only seperated by the width of the I-5 corridor that runs through the middle of Tacoma.
Just when things couldn't get anymore crazy, the biggest organization in Los Angeles came to Seattle, the Nine Duece Hoover Crips came led by a young man named Derick Hargress, also known as Vamp, he would lead the Hoovers into the 1990's to continue their take over of Seattle. The Nine Duece Hoover Crips were one of the only organizations to never bump heads with the HillTop Crips, most likely because the Hoover's went straight to Seattle, where there was more money going around. The Nine Duece Hoover Crips were part of a larger set from Los Angeles that also included the 74 Hoover's, this crew was led by another young man named George Hendricks, also known as Og-Pnutt.
The 1980's was a time of indulgance for many adults who wanted a taste of the night life, and something that would keep them up all night, and these gangsters had exactly what everyone wanted.
