Actually, Ixia, to my best experience, LA gangs often identify themselves, or at least smaller chapters of themselves, by area codes to show pride in their territory. Colors are used of course too, the most notable example being Crips and Bloods as you stated. I didn't really think that the line in the song was any reference to gangs at all though. They were just naming off the LA area codes. -lived in two of them, actually-
