Set tripping is actually the act of hanging with a set that isnt of your own. Like a 83rd street crip hanging with (and pulling out missions with) a shotgun crip.

"Sets" are refrences to street gangs. Set tripping is violent results from the confrontation of two rival gangs or gang members. Gang members identify eachother by tattoos, hand signs, and colors worn. Gang members or gangbangers rarley hesitate to attack another gang member who represents a rival gang.
