Street Crew

A small squad (3–50 people) holding it down in a neighborhood, usually running some type of crime—from tagging walls and petty theft to bigger moves. They roll under a shared name, symbols, and history, sometimes repping bigger gangs like the Crips or Bloods. Not always violent, but always claiming their turf.
“Don’t step on their block—they ain’t huge, but that street crew got respect in the hood.”—Local from the Hood

Street Crew

A squad of 3+ homies (usually 15–20, max 50) who run their block, tag walls, flex turf, and sometimes link with bigger gangs. It’s not always about gunplay—rep, presence, and respect speak louder than beef.
“Watch out for that street crew on 7 Mile—those cats don’t need bullets to run that block.”

Street Crew

A small, local group—usually neighborhood-based—that moves together for reputation, protection, tagging, or hustle. Not always a fully organized gang, but still respected in their area. Loyalty, presence, and rep mean everything.
“Bro don’t mess with them, that’s a real street crew—small circle, big impact.”—Locals

Street Crew / Tag Crew 

Less than 50 people, all about neighborhood dominance. Graffiti, territory, and mental warfare over the streets. They make a name for themselves without having to go viral—or violent.
Respect that Street Crew / Tag Crew—they’ve been moving the block for years with nothing but markers and mindset.”

8th street crew 

A group of bad asses from west keansburg nj, aka the shittier side of hazlet! These no-bullshit takers represented a section of town from the mid 90's to early 2000's in which anyone who had the balls to step in to their area without being welcome didnt leave without a beating!! They never turned down a fight and always had each others backs no matter what the situation! Truly a bunch of real, down to earth kids who were never handed anything and earned everything, including respect!!!

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
