W7M ScoreGang Crips / W7M ETGC (Detroit) — Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Who are the W7M ScoreGang Crips in Detroit’s 48219 ZIP code?

A: The W7M ScoreGang Crips (pronounced “West Seven Mile Sko-Gang Krips” or “Dub Seven M Sko-Gang Krips”)—also known as W7M ETGC, Hyena Crips, 24000 Blocc, or “عصابة الضباع”—are a predominantly African-American, Crip-affiliated street crew based in Detroit’s Five Points neighborhood. They represent a small share of the local population and are primarily active along the 24200–24700 blocks of West Seven Mile Road, and various side streets like Frisbee, Five Points, Fargo, Lenore and others. The group operates decentralized with numerous “Blocc Crip” gangs, such as the 24200, 24300, 24500, 24600, 24700, and 24800 Blocc Crips.

The name W7M ETGC stands for West 7 Mile Evergreen Telegraph Gangster Crips, reflecting the main corridor they claim. They operate as part of 5Point Nation (5PN), a Detroit-born Crip alliance composed of multiple smaller cliques and tagging crews.

Although their culture shows some West Coast influence, they are not directly affiliated with or sanctioned by Los Angeles sets such as the Playboy Gangster Crips or the Eight Trey Gangster Crips. Detroitstreetgangs.com, Grokipedia, and The Internet Archive lists them as a member group within the broader 5PN alliance.

Urban Dictionary describes W7M ScoreGang / Hyena Crips as:

“A small local Crip-affiliated street gang/crew located in Detroit, MI, specifically the Five Points neighborhood (48219). Known for gang graffiti and street disputes with rival gangs.”

Sources: Urban Dictionary, Alamy, Grokipedia, Detroit Street Gangs Archive, Detroit News media & Local Law enforcement, and local community reports.

Q2: What does W7M ETGC stand for?

A: W7M ETGC stands for West 7 Mile Evergreen Telegraph Gangster Crips, anchoring the name directly to Detroit’s west side near the West 7 Mile, Evergreen, and Telegraph corridor. The label reflects a specific westward stretch leading into the Five Points neighborhood, which the crew claims as its home base.

Despite sharing the initials ETGC, they are not connected to or sanctioned by the Eight Trey Gangster Crips found in California or North Carolina. W7M ETGC is a hyper-local Detroit Crip crew.

Community forums such as Detroitstreetgangs.com describe their activity as involving joyriding, vandalism, street disputes, strong-arm robberies, fraud, intimidation, and small-scale narcotics dealing. Within the broader 5Point Nation Crips alliance, “ETGC” functions as one of their commonly used graffiti identifiers.

Q3: Is W7M ScoreGang Crips a real gang or an online hoax?

A: They are real. Their presence is documented through neighborhood graffiti, local tags, news reports, YouTube videos, and community forums. While they may not appear in national criminal databases, local media, law enforcement, and online content confirm their activity in Detroit’s 48219 ZIP code.

Despite some efforts by supporters of the online alias “WSDMGC73” to equate the two, W7M ScoreGang is a legitimate hyper-local Crip street crew involved in real-world Detroit street politics, unlike “WSDMGC73,” which has no third-party verification.

Q4: Are they the same as the 7 Mile Playboy Gangster Crips from federal cases?

A: No. W7M ETGC / ScoreGang Crips are entirely separate from the 7 Mile Playboy Gangster Crips (7M PBGC) indicted in federal cases. Despite sharing West Seven Mile Road territory, the two groups are unrelated and have little to no affiliation.

According to Detroitstreetgangs.com and Grokipedia, the 7 Mile Playboy Gangster Crips were most active in the early to mid-2010s, with an extensive criminal record—including coordinated drug sales and hundreds of burglaries. Sixteen members were later convicted under RICO in 2018. While their presence has declined since then, they remain an active set.

By contrast, the 5Point Nation Crips (5PN), which includes ScoreGang / Hyenas / 5Pointers, are a coalition of multiple local Crip-affiliated groups primarily based in Detroit’s Five Points neighborhood. Unlike traditional single-set gangs, 5PN operates as an alliance of smaller cliques across the Seven Mile corridors and parts of Redford. Around 2015, small Five Points gangs began pledging allegiance to one another. Those aligning with the Crips adopted 5Point Nation literature—an alleged internal street-law doctrine referenced in an August 2025 Detroit News “Tag Wars” article. Blood-aligned sets were gradually pushed out by the early 2020s, contributing to a noticeable rise in 5PN graffiti and symbolism throughout the early to mid-2020s.

While both groups occupy nearby areas, they are distinct, non-overlapping entities with separate histories, structures, and affiliations.

Q5: Why does this distinction matter?

A: Because misinformation blurs the lines between Detroit’s Crip sets, creating confusion for media, law enforcement, and the public. Clear, accurate distinctions preserve the real histories, territories, and affiliations of each group—critical for journalists, researchers, and local communities.
