mostly bored kids I think but sometimes in some places they're meant to be memorials to dead people.
If it's in France, I think it's a reference to the two boys who died at the hands of the police after being chased into an electricity substation in Clichy-sous-Bois, a place in the northern suburbs of Paris dominated by bleak high-rise housing projects. They were running from the police after a reported robbery, which actually never occured. Their deaths, and a third boy was seriously injured, sparked the November 2005 "Uprisings in the Banlieues", a series of mostly nightly riots, that lasted for about three weeks, spreading across Paris, and to other cities in France.

In a dancehall sound when the operator uses the volume or some switch to make it sound like the volume being turned up and down in time the bass . . . hmmm not explaining that very well .

I find it works best with a dial! I call them 'soundclash chops'. It crossed over into production as well.

cheers, chopping/mixing in production, i feel that this is where the basslines started to drop out of dancehall such that the bass is just a chop as opposed something riding over the drums. Its almost part of the syncopation as the bassline is just about gone.

I thought it was to mark out gang territory. Particular brands of trainers signifying that X gang sells drugs here, everybody else keep out. That's what it seems to mean in Sheffield anyway. Though naturally it is also kids titting about - some tosspot wannabe badman has slung some up round the corner from me, and there ain't no gangs in S11!!!
(Note to "the S11 Crew" - you are not a gang, you are a group of friends with a marker pen between you, now go back to your GCSEs!)
Isn't this just a really old US gang thing marking where someone got killed?

Yeah that's how I've heard it explained too, specifically with drugs it also functions as a nudge-wink for people looking to score.
(I wonder if we've all just repeated that various vague rumours that Slothrop had already heard though :slanted: ).

It's an oldschool way of marking a drug spot, like 1970s or earlier. Don't know about gangs. It doesn't mean anything now and it's just stupid to do it anymore.
