The Double II Set is a chapter of the Bloods street gang centered in East Orange, New Jersey. Chapters of the Bloods are called "sets."
In 1993, Blood members from the Queen Street Bloods Gang ("QSBG") of Inglewood, California came to East Orange, initiating East Orange members in the practices and traditions of the west coast Bloods. East Orange is known colloquially as "Illtown," so the set was titled "Double II" (pronounced "Double EYE"). Tewhan Butler was the "Godfather" of the Double II Set.
The East Orange hip hop group Naughty by Nature cultivates the perception of a connection to the Double II Set, double spelling the letter I in album titles (e.g. "IIcons").
Famous quotes containing the words double and/or set:
“You’ve been making love to a double dose of cyanide.”
—Robert Riskin (1897–1955)
“In America every woman has her set of girl-friends; some are cousins, the rest are gained at school. These form a permanent committee who sit on each other’s affairs, who “come out” together, marry and divorce together, and who end as those groups of bustling, heartless well-informed club-women who govern society. Against them the Couple of Ehepaar is helpless and Man in their eyes but a biological interlude.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
