It's because C and B are close together on a qwerty keyboard. It's a simple typo that they decided to run with. Definitely nothing g--- related.

Imagine not being a blood and talking like that

YG's a Blood. Lots of Bloods avoid the letter 'C,' replacing them with either 'K' or 'B,' the latter usually in speech, for obvious reasons. His first album was originally called I'm 4rm Bompton, but Def Jam figured such a brazenly g----affiliated title wouldn't play to most of America. They settled on My Krazy Life. The working title of this one was Still Krazy, but YG and, unfortunately, Blood slang have reached such a point of saturation with kids who buy rap albums that doubling down was actually the smart marketing move.

I know from an outside perspective that sounds logical, but it isn't. You don't just leave a g---, generally speaking. Not on some "only way out is in a box" s---, but lots of young kids who join gangs are doing so because they don't have other options. It's a genuine war in some of these neighborhoods, and if you make it through to your 20s, why wouldn't you be loyal to that group of people?

Keef and Herb were not g--- members in the sense YG is.

Why are you assuming "the people who helped YG become a star" and "g--- members" are mutually exclusive groups?

Even if they were (they're not), my original point still stands (and this kinda applies to your post too @YDB): in lots of ways, it's rational to want out of a g---, and people leave and try to help others leave all the time. But it's also one of those deeply-rooted things that lots of people--men--can't or won't let go of.

It's a personality thing, too. Some people will give a f----up family member a million chances, some will cut him off immediately. That situation's not meant to be an analogy; my point's just that people feel and exhibit different types of loyalty in different ways.

I would think that once you grew up in neighborhood that had gangs, and reached a point where you started getting enough money, and started visiting other areas due to touring, traveling and such-- that you would be loyal to the people that helped you/ mentored you during your ascent, but not necessarily the g--- itself.

For example artists like Chief Keef, or Herbo who once they got the money and opportunity to 'leave' that lifestyle they did.
