Good day Chicago area and the whole world! I finally am installing an updates page that is sorely needed. I am going to do my best to keep this page updated every single time I change a history, add new pics etc…I realize it can be hard to keep up with my constant changes I make. I have made so many since 2016 and have made tons of changes in 2024 alone. I uploaded hundreds of pics and changed so many histories that were flawed. Once again, please be patient if I put up the wrong history, don’t flip out and curse me out and send me nasty emails. Keep calm, take a deep breath, and email me civily and we can work it out. Believe me, I want the most accurate histories I can but the research methods for Chicago gangs involves putting up anything I can find and waiting for someone to say it is wrong or not. It sucks but it is the only way. This street knowledge not text from history books, this is difficult as hell to research and report on accurately. Please understand, even the most knowledgable OGs out there don’t know the whole city, it is physically impossible!
As of today, August 28, 2024, pic updates and new page updates are stagnanted right now. The reason why I had to put a freeze on that is because the site became overloaded with too much media. I have a limited budget, very limited, as I am a working stiff like everyone else. I’ve been on TV multiple times for gang documentaries but that pays a salary of $0.00 a year. Given that, I don’t have the money to keep up with the site, I rely on a good friend but he is swamped right now but intends to update the site once he is able to but it could take months! If you sent me pics in recent months and I haven’t posted, that is why because I don’t want to break the site and have it go down for months. I am fully able to update the text on my pages; therefore, I can update away on history. If you have any history to add for the pages please contact me at Chicagoganghistory@protonmail.com. DO NOT contact me for any sales offers to administer my site! I can tell you right now, I can’t afford any of y’all!
Check me out and other street historians and former members of clubs on the Facebook Group “Compliments of:Da REAL OGs.” We share much history and pictures from the past!
Don’t completely rely on this page for 100% of updates, my goal is to document each time I update but sometimes I may forget so keep checking the pages!
