In an interview with Rolling Stone,[3] Snoop Dogg explained the EP's title, by stating It's not a statement or a political act: it's just good music.

In my lifetime, that's when young black men in impoverished areas organized to help their communities and to take care of their own because society basically left them for dead.

A lot of people glorify the gang-banging and violence but forget that in the beginning, the Crips' main and sole purpose was to be the reflection of the Black Panthers.

They looked after kids, provided after-school activities, fed them and stepped in as role models and father figures.The cover of the original MP3 release features a blue baseball cap with the words "Make America Crip Again", a reference to "Make America Great Again" hats worn by Donald Trump supporters.
