This was a predictable culmination of Hoover’s life that had been lived making ends meet by the way of guns and gangs. Together, this new gang was called the Black Gangster Disciple Nation, or Gangster Disciples for short. By the time he turned 20, Hoover was reportedly head of the Gangster Disciples and overseeing daily profits of about $1,000. He started speaking out against crime and even changed the initials GD (Gangster Disciples) to Growth and Development. But knowing what we do know about Hoover, West has a long way to go.
