it really just meant: I Was Here. that’s all. All these goofies acting like it means drugs, a gang killing, and all the other shit don’t know what it really was about. It was a source of pride to just be in some of the rougher neighborhoods. It simply means: I Was Here and I want to be remembered for being here.

In the south of Spain it means there´s a Hash/Coke/Heroin spot in the block, even cops know it but they are run by gypsies that have the cops paid, it´s like a traffic sign so you dont get lost.
How can it means someone got robbed for their sneakers? You rob the sneakers and then throw them up there? Why you rob them in the first place then? You are not suposed to keep them once you rob them? Dont get it.

I dont think it means anything here in England. People are probably just trying to be American, or they just get thrown up there out of boredom.

it used to mean someone was killed there. some ppl around here and their posts make me realize they really have never even lived a hard life and just post garbage they make up in their head. :/
