Blueface on Getting Jumped In to School Yard Crips, School Yard's Beef with Rollin 60s (Part 1)
In an exclusive VladTV interview, rapper Blueface detailed his early involvement with the School Yard Crips gang in Los Angeles. Growing up between LA and Oakland, Blueface revealed he was “jumped in” to the School Yard Crips — a traditional initiation involving multiple attackers — which he described as a tough but victorious experience. The affiliation came through family ties, as his cousins were already part of the gang.
Blueface also discussed the longstanding territorial tensions between School Yard Crips and rival gangs, particularly the Rollin 60s, centered around locations like the famed World of Wheels skate park. He recounted how this spot served as a hub where various gangs clashed due to their close proximity.
Before his music career, Blueface had aspirations of becoming a college quarterback, briefly playing for Fayetteville State University, but eventually left football behind to pursue other paths. This candid interview sheds light on how his street background shaped his identity and artistry.
