Cleaning the Hood

"CJ! Go down there and show these fools you mean business! Those chumps from the Ballas are sweatin' the homies. Go put pressure on 'em."

- Sweet Johnson

Cleaning the Hood is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas given to protagonist Carl Johnson by his brother Sean.

The mission introduces the drugs aspect of the storyline, explaining how it has corrupted Los Santos.

Mission
Ryder, Big Smoke, and Sweet are inside Sweet's house, talking about the dealing of crack cocaine in the city as CJ arrives. After an agreement, Ryder and CJ decide to take care of business and deal with some of the crack dealers that supply the Grove Street gang members. They first go to see B Dup, as CJ wants to recruit some of his old friends.

Upon arriving, B Dup angrily tells the two to stay out of his place, with Big Bear seen as his "crack slave." CJ attempts to convince him to return to Grove Street. Ryder and CJ both go outside and spot a crack dealer nearby selling drugs to Grove Street gang members. They kill him, and Ryder discovers the whereabouts of the dealer's home.

The pair then drives to Crystal Gardens, entering the crack den in Idlewood and beating every Ballas gang member inside. After finishing off everybody witnessing the attack, they head back to Ganton.

Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
 * Go to B Dup's crib
 * Go beat up the crack dealer
 * Go to the dealer's place
 * Go beat up the crack dealer
 * Go back to Sweet's house

Tips

 * A good weapon to take along in this mission is the shovel behind Ryder's house.

Glitches

 * If the player kills the gang member who is buying drugs from the dealer, the cutscene will still say that the gang member is buying the drugs even though he is dead. A video of this can be seen here.
 * If the player attacks the drug dealer (before triggering the cutscene) he will start walking towards Carl and try to attack him before stopping. The gang member will run off if Carl attacked the drug dealer, but when the cutscene triggers it will only show the house on the cutscene a video of this can be seen here
 * If the player attacks the drug dealer and the homie with molotov they will run away and if you activate the cutscene it will say that the drug dealer is selling it to one of the homies when he nor the homie are on the cutscene since they ran away.

Trivia

 * The song featured in the pre-mission cutscene is "Funky Worm" by the Ohio Players, which can also be heard on Bounce FM.
 * During the cutscene where Ryder hits the Balla, two men having oral sex can be seen in a back room on the right.
