Three-strikes laws are statutes enacted by state governments in the United States which mandate state courts to impose harsher sentences on habitual offenders who are convicted of three or more serious criminal offenses.
Three Strikes law has been especially huge in California, the home E40 and Pelican Bay State Prison.
Interestingly 2 years after this song, 40 appeared in the comedy film 3 Strikes LOL

The Bloods and Crips culture originated in Los Angeles and surrounding L.A. County cities like Long Beach, Compton, Inglewood, etc.
Due films like Colors, which exposed LA gang culture to the world, many bastardized and unofficial sets of these gangs began to pop up all over America. They claimed Cali sets and locations (Piru St, Crenshaw Blvd, Watts, etc), even though they were many miles away from there and never even visited them to begin with. The 1994 Documentary Gang Wars Bangin In Little Rock is a prime example of this situation that continues to this day.
DJ Quik also would go to discuss this phenomena (especially St. Louis) extensively in:
