Question: How would london gangs act if hip hop culture wasnt invented?

I mean they wouldnt be dressing/ acting/ talking like black american rappers. I just think it would be so different.I know there would still be gangs OK i meant the idea of these white boys talking like they are black, wearing hip hop wear and wanting to sell drugs and have a gun. Young gangs in london used to wear suits, now its a do rag and some "ghetto " clothes.

They'd be talking about crumpets and tea.............. "Where the heck are me bloody trumpets, shenanigans " Just like the people from London who don't listen to Hip Hop...except in a gang............

They'd be having a right old cockney knees up, chas 'n' dave would be the royal family and they'd all be walking around saying "rabbit, rabbit rabbit ". Barbara windsor would be on the front page of the current bun.

There have been London Gangs since before Hip Hop Culture, they just listened to different music. What about the Krays & the great train robbers etc ( ronnie biggs ) in the 60s?

Shine yer shoes govnor? weve had vicious nasty scumbag streetgangs in london for hundreds of years, and them guys didnt fork around... todays pansy pussyboys wouldnt last 10 minutes if you took away their i pods, their bling, and their guns... its all image, and bravado, egged on by infantile juveniles, who havent ever been on the recieving end of a coppers boot. i was a badass biker, our parents decried rock n roll as the work of the devil... but our heroes did smoke on the water, and highway star... yeah we did lots of drugs and partied really hard, but we didnt go around "popping caps " in anyones ass.... we didnt have ho's either, we had girlfriends, and wives... you thnk its bad now, wait 10 yrs, london will be a no go area at night...
