This is Curtis and he said he is a member of a gang called the Bishops, which is apparently a local chapter of the Crips. We had run into duder once before at the Levee, and he was talking in a pretty good English accent. Please disregard Curtis’s lack of sloppy gang tattoos, homies, and his wearing a big, uh, red jacket. We think he’s for real, however, because being black, wasted, in South Williamsburg, and lying about belonging to a gang whose enemies have been indiscriminately slicing women’s and children’s faces is impossibly reckless.
Street Carnage: What’s your take on the Bloods?
Curtis: It ain’t even like that, man. Motherfuckers can turn that shit on like whatever. Motherfuckers be stupid, man. Blood motherfuckers, man. What’s up, man. Just like that Williamsburg Slashers.
Arv: That’s a Blood thing?
They out here like cuttin’ motherfuckers, cuttin’ girls and shit. It’s stupid, man. It’s stupid.
What do Bishops do?
Bishops don’t do shit, man. We hold down our shit.
Arv: What’s your turf, like, a block?
Naw. I don’t got no homies except for Crown Heights. I’m holding down everywhere. I live at Greenpoint. Motherfuckers be tryin’ and shit. I’m right here, whenever, though.
Arv: As a Bishop, what’s the craziest thing to go down between you guys and Bloods?
Bishops and Bloods don’t even got nothing between each other. I kill my shit. Bloods are the ones that are stupid, man. Hi Ru Bloods are dumb, man.
Wow, Curtis! That East Coast tattoo is remarkably literal!
That’s cus I’m literate, nigga!
Will you give us a quick speech with your fingers about how my computer, Vimeo and WordPress hate each other like warring gangs?
UPDATE: Thanks to THIS IS A MOVIE!! for catching Curtis on LNP all Where’s Waldo-like:

Thank you for representing Minneapolis.

“Piru” Bloods, you streetwise journalist. You wrote down “Hi Ru” thinking nobody would notice?
10.08.09 at 2:53 pm
@ Piru:
Yeah, Piru Bloods is highly googleable, nigs, but he said “Hi Ru.” Whatever that is. Nathan is the only gangbanger on this comment page.
10.08.09 at 2:54 pm
Haven’t the Bishops been around since the 50’s back when they were against the Mau-Maus?
10.08.09 at 3:29 pm
So Arv conducts this terrible interview, and you’re dumb enough to take credit for it? I’ll send you guys some pictures of me jacking off an MS-13 member outside K-mart if you’ll post it
Peace? Nah
10.08.09 at 3:37 pm
Wack-boy@ I can’t speak for Arv but yeah, I think we would be interested in those photos.
10.08.09 at 3:42 pm
that tattoo is actually pretty good. and i usually fucking hate fucking tattoos.
10.08.09 at 3:48 pm
They inked Florida like a flaccid schlong. Very accurate indeed.
10.08.09 at 4:05 pm
Madsen’s got that new type Google that shows you shit you aren’t searching for. He also never ever mishears anything.
10.08.09 at 4:12 pm
@Treetop You’re right. I’m careful like that.
10.08.09 at 4:14 pm
The Bishops?? THEY AIN’T EVEN ON THE MAP!!!
10.08.09 at 4:30 pm
uhhhhhhhhhhh
historically crips have killed and held beef with more crips than crips vs bloods.
also as a california person i get salty about other places latching on to the crips and bloods thing. but it makes sense, a lot of information and culture gets traded in prison.
talk to me when you interview a brim, rollin 60’s, rollin 20’s, piru, east side longos, west side longos, a vicelord etc
10.08.09 at 4:42 pm

i bet this guy sells horrible coke. like, he doesnt really sell it himself but if you ask him for some, he’ll say that he can get it but you’ll have to give him the money first. when you say “no, i’d rather give you the money when the coke gets here” he’ll go somewhere and get some horrible if not completely fake coke and sell it to you without letting you sample a bump first.
10.09.09 at 5:00 am
i can’t help it. i love him. i want to sodomy with/in him.

@ Conspiracy Theory “The Bloods street gang originated at the Centennial High School from the Piru gang, which took its name from Piru Street in Compton, California.”
You got shit on Robert Walker?

Cool to see that the DJ hit up Wal-Mart before the show for some style tips.
10.09.09 at 2:16 pm
It’s cool. No one takes women DJs seriously anyway. Insofar as any DJ can be taken seriously.
10.09.09 at 2:35 pm
ok.
no i think there is a joke here.
IF YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE A JOKE MAKE IT UNNY.
