SynopsisThe Crips are the largest and most notorious black gang. Now with an estimated 250 sets nationwide, the Crips started in 1969 with just 10 members in South Central Los Angeles. Gregory "Batman" Davis was one of these founding members. Since its inception, the Crips have been the subject of countless newspaper articles, news specials, and documentaries. Some have interviewed Batman, many have used one of the few images he released to the press-including newspapers like The New York Times, websites like StreetGangs.com, and documentaries such as O.G.'s Gangsta King and Stacy Peralta's Crips and Bloods-but none have told his story from start to finish. No ordinary tale from the streets, Batman's story includes a host of unlikely characters-Field Marshal Cinque and Patty Hearst of the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA), cult leader Jim Jones, serial killers the Skid Row Stabber and Charles Manson, and ex-football player Jim Brown, to name a few. This is the true story of an Original Gangster.

100 plus pages of pictures
Just so everybody is aware this book has maybe 12 pages of actual writings the rest of the book is all pictures. If you have read other crip books then its kinda nice to put faces to the names your reading about and its cool to look at how the crips used to dress and stuff but its not worth the money in my opinion. A $20 price tag would be okay, over $50 is way to much for a book with just pictures, and the pictures don't really " tell the story ". Most of the pictures are of Greg Davis in different poses. This is not at all comparable to Monsters kodys book, inside the crips by Colton Simpson or home of the body bags by Terrell Wright.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
