CHAPTER 24 : Clearing Up the WSDMGC73 Online Lore: Separating Fact from Michigan Trolls

 There’s a lot of confusion online about WSDMGC73, particularly claims that it’s a “Michigan gang” or that the 73 Gangster Crips (73GC) are “fake” or defunct. Most of this confusion comes from trolling and misinformation spread by users far removed from the original context. Here’s a breakdown to clear everything up.

1. 

WSDMGC73 is a California-based rap group

• Despite some online claims, WSDMGC73 originates in California, specifically tied to Los Angeles and the West Side 73 Gangster Crips (73GC).
• The group has released multiple tracks on Apple Music, Spotify, and other platforms, reflecting West Coast rap culture.
• Community verification: Local listeners and community members confirm WSDMGC73 as a rap group composed of younger members affiliated with 73GC, based on their lyrics, collaborations, and local appearances.

2. 

Michigan users trolling and spreading misinformation

• Some users from Detroit and other Michigan suburbs have been posting about WSDMGC73 in forums and subreddits such as r/CaliConnection, a space meant for discussions about California gangs.
• A key comment openly admits the poster is from Michigan but tries to present themselves as knowledgeable about California gangs:
  “The person who made this post is from Michigan Detroit. Don’t mind him, he don’t know no gangs out here beside the 83’s. There is a W/S 73. If you believe a kid who says 83 beefs with BPS then that’s on you. I got proof.”
• These users also claim 73GC is defunct, attempting to downplay or dismiss the gang’s ongoing presence.

3. 

Why the “Michigan group” and “defunct 73GC” myths exist

• Some individuals, like the so-called “super fan” Tinyjoker, have rapped along to WSDMGC73 tracks, made Urban Dictionary entries, or referenced lyrics online.
• These actions amplify confusion, leading outsiders to incorrectly associate WSDMGC73 with Michigan and claim 73GC no longer exists.
• Michigan users posting online are often trolling, roleplaying, or exaggerating, claiming defunct status for 73GC despite evidence to the contrary.

4. 

Community evidence against the “defunct” claim

• 73GC continues to be mentioned in local West Side hood vlogs, community posts, and social media interactions.
• Active members of 73GC are documented in ally groups, collaborations, and music videos, proving the gang’s presence in Los Angeles remains ongoing.
• This contradicts the Michigan users’ claims and shows that 73GC is far from defunct, maintaining cultural and street relevance in its home territory.

5. 

Key points about online lore

• 73GC is a real Los Angeles street gang, and WSDMGC73 is a verified California-based rap group inspired by them.
• Michigan users posting online are largely outsiders trolling or exaggerating, which has created a lot of defunct online lore around WSDMGC73 and 73GC.
• Claims like “WSDMGC73 is a Michigan group” or “73GC is defunct” are false and based on outsider misinformation, not verified community knowledge.

6. 

Conclusion

• WSDMGC73 = California rap group, tied to Los Angeles’ West Side 73 Gangster Crips, composed of younger members verified by the community.
• 73GC = active Los Angeles gang, still mentioned in local hood vlogs and community posts, despite online claims to the contrary.
