And for those who don't have iTunes, we're also on Google Play, Spotify, and for those who are on the computer, laptop or desktop,

we're on radio dot com as well. All Right, so let's take a few questions from some of our listeners, because without the listeners, we wouldn't even be here. And one of the first questions that comes up REDG, I know you know about this. How did the Little Half Dead being the TUPAC shooter theory even begin? This was also addressed in one of the A and E documentaries where they interviewed a little half dead and he basically was like, I had nothing to do with this, but

I heard that rumor throughout the year. So tell us how that rumor got started. Yeah, what what what happened was it was this crazy cycle due from that's in jail, uh, from molestations and has a history of of psychosis or whatever. Um that's in in in prison. And they wrote a letter at his niece write a letter to this A reporter from the Fox News uh who was hot in l A by the name of Chris Blackford at the time.

My man Chris. So Chris got this letter. He received a letter I don't know two thousand and ninety nine or something like that, and UM, I was trying to follow up on it, and they came up to a dead in um situation. Uh. Madson request to them the you know, they said they had the murder weapon and all of that and it never materialized. He uh, he fouled it away in his files. You had the old

white man. Uh and this this obsessed police detective that up and quit his job, uh six months before he was eligible for retirement because he felt that the lap D wasn't you know, Chief with our parts told him hey, stop it. Stop wasting our resources and our money. Um going down this lane. This is not accurate information and he lost the name was Russell Pool eventually died art attacked.

Uh but he died, I mean he uh so he uh take a lead and when Chris Blashford and met with christ Rassler and Chris Blackford gave it to him. And here's a lead that we we got some time ago. I checked it out, but things didn't them fall where they were supposed to fall to Russell Pool. Yeah, and Russell Pool kind of believes the theory. He believes it.

But Russell Pool believe anything but but the truth. And that's why he uh, you know, for a man to quit their job, uh lose their retirement benefits there retirement checking everything for the rest of their life six months prior to being eligible to receive all of that, you got to show the state of mind that he that he was in basically obsessied with with the case. He was obsessed for the case, then improving that his theory. It's my way in no way, typical stubborn old man.

So there's you get this with this uh, this guy that does documentary see that I did about four different documentaries accusing me and shire Knight of of murder of Tupac and Biggie. And now they got this new theory and they want to change up on it because it's all about making some money and so this is their

new theory and they wouldn't full blast with it. They uh the letter that accuses uh little health that been involved with myself and shook Knight ex wife Sharia Knight for taking over the company need to uh for our benefit and little half they had been about because he was ad because Tupac stold the song Brenda got a baby, um, which is impossible top years old at the time. The

timeline that makes no sense. I mean, we didn't have people that show that was in the studio with with uh what Tupac when he wrote Brenda got a baby and all of that. That's a this is crazy. Little Half there was like, this is crazy and so this

is how that they we got out there. Bridge j Me ask you something, how do you feel that with these people making all these allegations against you and constantly keep using your name and well, let's say putting your name and in this situation, you know, like on our last episode, last week, I kind of got a little test because um and I listened back to it, and I apologize to you because maybe I got a little sense of them. I don't like using the word since then,

I that I got a little sense of that. Okay with about you forgot already. It's only been a week and you forgot. But anyway, Um, like I said, I don't care about when people accused me of being involved in the the the murder of Biggie Small, even though

it's not true, it doesn't bother me. But toothpox, your core was somebody that I was with there and there every day of the eleven months that he was you know, with death row, somebody that I was in charge of of of his his security, and he you know, became our friend. We were somebody were hanging out with traveling strip parties, all types of things with a friend. And so to be accused of um being involved in the

murder of him, it hurts. It bothers me to the core, so especially by people that had nothing to do with his life. I didn't even know who a Tupac's your core was in. That's said, oh in two thousand's this is the one way I can benefit and make some money. Let me slander this man's name. Let me let me put this out. Let's see what the dumb people think.

Did you ever consider any lawsuits against people who actually accuse you of or linking you to the murder of Tupac when the evidence is actually in your favor that you had nothing to do with it. Yeah, but unfortunately all the motherfucker's are broke this accusing you of this. They're called judgment proof. But are they linked to any companies or businesses when they made these allegations. Sure you can go out there, but the they probably um indemnified.

Like for example, Chris Blackford, nobody big, None of these big people did. Bastard never accused. I wish Fox News whatever I was gonna say News. He said, hey, here's a letter I got to investigator. Christian is a good cat. Yeah, he's cool. I've been years and then I brought you. I met him in five christ has reached out to meet over time. I brought um. You know, I brought Shook down a couple of times to do interviews with Christian and stuff. So yeah, he was a true investigative journalist.

And they don't really have them anymore. It all went not like him at all, and they weren't given the budget to how many people got that budgets. Now the budgets are going more towards like the rumor news as opposed to the investigative journalism that Chris Blackford used to do. I mean, I just think that's a crazy I mean to go to sleep with all these people thinking, Yeah,

it didn't follow me at first. It didn't start following me until I had a I have an eighteen year old son and his name is Reginald Right the third, and um when his name, when you know, his started getting linked and he's starting to read and understand and listening to some of the stuff out here, and you were like, you know, you had kept them insulated from all of that all their lives, and now they're a little older and their friends and stuff like that starting

to hear about exactly. So, if Russell Pool really believed in this little half dead Reggie Wright should read the theory, what was his view on Orlando Anderson? Then um, they believe it was all the fake, it's all the stunt, and that they were policies. Their whole theory is Um, it was originally shocked. He since when to try to apologize?

What's your before he died? A matter of fact, why he was He was in the sheriff department when he died, trying to broke her a deal for sharing to get out of out of custody, uh and say, hey, she was willing to say this and say that if y'all, if y'all willing to uh let him go, which most people think it was the cooperation on the murder of Tupac, which it really was the cooperation or identifying the person who who shot him inside the One Oaks club. That's

what most people don't know. But yeah, so Russell Pool changed his theory as well. All right, let's go get onto it. Uh. The next question, which is semi related Kevin Gaines l A p D Officer Kevin Gaines, who was later killed by Frank liga Um Solo Dolo from Instagram wants to know, was l A p D Officer Kevin Gaines at the MGM hotel the same night where all of this happened. When Pot got killed later that night. The only thing I can ever attest to is by

his girlfriend at the time, which was ext wife. Uh. Our extrange wife at the time. Sarita, Uh, she said she was. He was with her. Um, why would he be at d MGM with us. We're not white folks. White folks only do that bullshit where they fattened eyes and be cool with their with somebody who's sucking on their work's wife. We don't get down like that. So then, yeah, you're saying it makes no sense for Sharita sugs X

to be in Vegas with Kevin Gaines. Well that or I'm saying we will allow the lady that's have an affair, I mean, the guy that's having an affair with shows wife to be hanging out with us. But if you're strange, it doesn't even matter, does it. Okay, I'm asking I guess you're asking white. Didn't you what I mean? That

was racist? I'm asking a legitimate question. If you were strange, that means I don't really care about you as a wife, and I don't care about you as I want to hang out with you taking you to a prize fight. This question wasn't about hanging out. It just says was Kevin Gaines there? And then because they are saying that they are there with us, That's the only reason they would care that he where's he at because they want to know if he was with us at the time.

Basically yes, no, I mean I told you we know he went with death Roll. Well then if he was there on some other mission, how the hell would I know if he wasn't with us. I wasn't there, but he I was out there. I knew who was all the players who was there, and I was at Club six six to getting that prepared. But the reason for the question is not where he's at, what was he doing? I want to know if he was having a couple

of coffee at Starbucks. You know. The question is because I want to know if he was out there with y'all, does he have anything to do with Because that goes back to what I said earlier, how they want to have the cops involved in the murder of Tupac and Big Well. I think it's a fair question considering when Kevin Games was killed by Frank Liga, he was sitting in a car register or to either Suge Night or

death row records. He was sitting in the car that was registered to UH death row records because he was fucking to Night wife. Yes, that's why everyone knew that. We didn't. You guys didn't know that. We didn't know that. But they were already estranged. They were strange. They weren't together, and I'm and I'm sorry. Sugar already had moved on in his relationship. He had babies and stuff all that, but he still was cool with his a strange wife

as well. That's a that's a contradiction. If you're cool, then you're not estranged. For um, well they had business. Well okay, well they wasn't a strange then. They weren't living together, sleeping together, but they had business. She was she was managing most of his artists. I don't know what to say, man, Yeah, I mean, I have questions. But they had a relationship where he didn't pretty much care what she was doing, and obviously she didn't care

what you were doing. But they were divorce and they had business. He was managing Snoop Dogg, who was the biggest artist on his label. Okay, the bottom line is, you don't nobody knew if if Kevin Gaines was there. We know what I said earlier by stertas testimony, They went at home in North Hollywood at their house Yeah, sure, he wasn't there. I was just trying to tell you why the man asked the question. If I wouldn't have said no, you ain't not getting him with justice justifying,

I could have easily said no, he wasn't there. Well. I think that Kevin Gang story is fascinating. Uh, And I think there's a lot of things we don't know about Kevin Gaines. Um, what what do you mean he was having an unfair with the man's ex wife. Yeah, but he was also linked to other l a p D officers that got caught up in the Rampart scandal that had nothing to do with us. That's why it

comes back to us because of that that relationship. I'm just saying, there's a handful of black officers that went through the Rampart division or they were friends because you knew the ramp are officers now and he's dirty. No, I don't think Kevin Games was actually a dirty cop. And I never heard his name mentioned in there. But you just made the correlation because I'm making the correlation

because he knew them. Just because you know David mckor you know Raphael Perez doesn't mean you're you're dirty and I don't even know if evidence that he knew them all all. He was killed at the intersection in the valley by another lp D officer, Frank Liga, and that happens road rage. I tried to tell you earlier, it's ten thousand police officers. Every cop don't know each other. I know the outside world think they all know each other. I'm telling you I don't know a thousand people in

my life. I don't know all all ten I wouldn't know all ten thousand cops if I was a cop in the l A p D. I wasn't. I knew all the two hundred that worked with me at Compton p D. But I didn't they. I'm telling you l A p D. All of them don't know all ten thousand officers. That pony officers. They all probably know is is the brass, the chief and all of that. They all know him, but they don't know each other. The

other divisions and stuff. But in that bizarre situation where two cops end up in a road rade incident and Frank Liga ends up killing Kevin Gaines, he says that Kevin Gaines pulled his weapon out, but Kevin Gaines never got he never got to bus, and some people say if Kevin Gaines pulled out his trap, he should have got at least one off. He didn't get nothing off, So there's some unanswered questions about that interaction. Oh, we

definitely believe that. I mean, this is the officer that bragged about it a few years ago that eventually had got terminated for bragging about shooting this and he wished it was more niggas in the car. Yeah, I heard that audio. He didn't know he's being recorded by and was being recorded by another officer in the room that was his friend. Yeah, but this white dude is that comfortable enough to say this in the room full of

officers and some black officers at a training session. Don't you think something shady happened that day between Frank Lager and Kevin Gaines or you think it's just the typical road rage. I think they were following him. I think he was following him, and then Kevin realized that this dude following him, and he confronted him and he got upset. If he was a good car what they followed him for? They knew he was riding around and the Porsche he

was dressing and with for Sachi shirts. He had a license plate on his porch that said fuck I A. And he was no, no, no, not, it's okay, I A something about it. He was disrespecting I a internal fair deparmer, and he was having an affair with the head of death row records wife and he was married at the time himself. I believe I forget that situation. I think so because a matter of fact, I think

in the settlement because they end up paying out. Uh, the wife got some money, the kids got some money, and they had to do because they didn't want to bring it before the council. So they paid him eat whatever that maximum was. They paid individuals um each. And also Kevin Gaines, No, he wasn't married. He had a lawsuit against I believe the sheriff department or another law enforcement entity where he got a settlement years before, so he actually challenged the system. He was it was probably

a rebel or something like that. But I also get information that he was a cop cop that you know, he wasn't for the drama or anything. But I don't know that. Man. I never met him before in my life. And my point is, and people always said, well, yeah, yeah, he worked for y'all. He worked for you. Come on, that's why I get mad and I make the how would that make the guy was having a fair but you said you didn't know, so you would you could have theoretically hired and didn't know. Okay, well I didn't

know and I didn't have it. But that ain't what people believe. People believe that the guy that was having an affair with Sarita Night work for death for records and Reggie Hardy, Well don't you think, oh, they could have been could have been found out if it was investigated. You know you're getting the check, if you're getting a check on the death rod. Don't you think they can go on that? It was not the right way. But trust me, I turned over I turned over all of

that paperwork, all that information. Everybody knows that except who conspirators old white man that Mike to make DVDs regarding Reggie right, well, I want to emphasize that Kevin Gaines has never been implicated in any rampart scandal because he was not a cricket cop that we know of. They never proved that, never proved that he did anything illegal as an l A p D officer. He was a guy that challenged the system and was the only thing we know about that is he had a license plate

that was disrespecting internal affairs. Yeah, so sometimes I think Kevin Gaine gets a bad rap, but I think his story is interesting and um no, this is what happened, and this is why a lot of people are like the link Lincoln to him. The officers that shot and killed uh Kevin Gaines was Frank Liga. When Raphael Press and now signed out the dope that they stole, Yeah, guess who names they put on it. He put Franks because he was mad because his boy got killed or whatever.

Who knows. I don't. I can't say that they were friends because we don't know why. Well, yeah, you're right, but I think, um there was a person that testified that said that I know who I know that the drugs got taken out because back then they didn't have an accounting they didn't have an accounting system. Sir Raphael Press walks in there, takes out with six key loads, put Frank like hiss name as the one that took checked it out, and then the lady said that they

take it and then they put bacon. Solda when they're playing it back or whatever. So when they investigated, they go ask the lady in the evidence room, like who took out the cocaine? And she says it was just a black guy that spoke Spanish. That's all I remember, and that was too hard to figure out. Well, I think he comped out to it. And that's my point. If he comped out to all of this ship, laid out other cops, laid on all these people, why wouldn't he ever a cop out? Oh yeah, I work for

death Records. Oh yeah, I work for that cop that worked the cop to p D. They have never mentioned my name, but many people ever mentioned us together. It's outside people, people that had nothing to do with l A p D or or anything. Or one cop retire called Russell Pool. And that's why Perora Partson was like, Okay, allowed you to investigate this. There's nothing to it. Move on. Oh no, forget that. I quit all right bye. But this is where all of this come on on the

internet from. It's from a situation like that. We'll imagine this how many of the l A p D officers that were linked to the ramparts scandal ever worked for Right Way slash death row records matter. One, I only had two lp D officers that ever worked for me, and they investigated them. They knew who they were, Richard McCauley and a guy by the name of David Love.

Only two the LPD cough ever worked for me. Now, how often does that come up though, that these l A p D officers from Rampart and these rogue officers were also linked to you. For anyone that still believes that death roll has something to do our Reggie right security has something to do with the murder of Biggie Small or two Papa Well, No, no official law enforcements believe that anymore. They know the real they have the like I said earlier, both cases has been solved in

their mind. They just can't prove it. All right, Let's move on. Someone from Sweden wants to know where are the no go in quotes no go zones uh in Los Angeles County, which would be Long Beach, Compton Watts, Los Angeles, Inglewood, Guardina. Let's start to James, what are some of the most no go zones that you don't want to go to? The projects? Uh, you don't want to go downtown L A downtown. They did what they gentrified it, even with all the homelessness. They got these

bars and clubs that go on Mr Park. Then you know the mor Park wasn't actually not that bad that you're talking about gentification. But park, Now, I wouldn't. I wouldn't put the Mark M Park on my list of places. I wouldn't. I would say the Jungles Aka down from it is. I would say stay away from don't don't make it right, stay stay away from the Jays that night, Stay away from the Nick project period. Stay away from

all four of the projects and watch at night. What are the most sensitive areas in Compton Because on the West side some of the neighborhoods and Compton are kind of from Sweden. You're probably on the pill side. So I will say, uh, stay away from the whole city. The whole city. Wow, that's you just at night. You just took a big dump on Compton Man and Asian Brown is not gonna be happy about that. Asian Brown to get over it. You need to fix the streets.

That's what you need to be worried about. But it's true that their worst parts of Compton than other areas. I'd say the west Side has less violence and homicides in crime than the East Side does. Areas like Lantana, Lantana Block, there were the swamp sorry where track news at and being pale and not speakers in Spanish, and stay your ass straight by the airport and stay on the main rolls and keep going, all right, James, And

that's that night. You know, they can ride down Alameda and willow Brook and all that coming from the Comfort Courthouse because there's a lot of white folks who work up the Comfort Courthouse, but they take their as straight to the ninety one freeway. And that's what's suggested to him in Hollywood, I meaning, uh, somewhere in Beverly Hills, your bell ash somewhere. I don't like no parts of l A. You go name a place in l ah No, there's some there's some beautiful areas in l A. I

love the West Adams area. I love because you're okay over there. We're talking about Sweden people. So you you you suggest them going to heroes and Bills over there. On Absolutely, there's there's all kind of white folks walking their dogs around there, and that well, you said that the gentification is going on over there right going on the mirt Park right now. I would those white folks that's over there living over there are different. Type of

white folks are different. A person from Sweden lost gonna need direction and all of that. Come on, man, they need to stay away from the mirf park. Less they have some escorts to take them on the Hurls and Bills, I will suggest they go to Hurls and Bills and have a nice little sofa wells just fishing stuff now, but go there. But I have some escorts with you. How do your uber driver get out and go in with I think the area where Harold and Bells is

that it's fine on Jefferson right off a Crunshaw. You won't have any problem there if you're white walking around walking around, yeah, walking around them. There's all kind of white folks in that part of l A. I've seen that they've been doing a lot. They got whole foods can build up there. They've got stuff. But there's one neighborhood in Inglewood. I gotta mention the bottom right off of where the crunch On office right there's off ninety

nine and century. That's like the part of Inglewood. You don't want to go to total projects on the bottom, but they definitely a gentrifying all of Inglewood, and I would say most of Inglewood is cool. Well, stay out of the bottoms though. If you're in Inglewood, it's the casino and in the football still let's go look at that. Yeah, the casino, the Century Corridor, they got all the Costco and bed bathroom beyond and red Lofter and Chili's. Uh,

they really revamped that whole area of Inglewood. Ingle is actually really nice. But I rolled through the bottoms other day and I was like, Wow, it's still griming over here. It's still griming. That's a home in the Crunshawn Mafia. Shout out to the Crunshaw office, the relatives. That was my my at the relatives, Big yeah, that's be standing for sucking bitches and James you said that at the Nikolsons. I'm gonna add to that Imperial Courts and what's the

other one, Pebblos, the Pebblos. And then if you want to talk about the Latino projects, you want to stay out of Estrada Courts, Ramona Gardens, and again they'll be able to go to the dispensaries if they don't go over there. How you can find dispensers all over So, I mean l A is not that bad. We had one of the lowest homicides counts last year and it

keeps on going down. And even Compton. Compton used to average like murders a year, remember those years very well, Yeah, and now they haven't what like thirty or forty ye years? Hell know how many of years now? I don't know, but it ain't that low. Oh, it's pretty low. That's somebody looked that up. How many homicides the Compton have in two thousand and eighteen? Um, I know when it was over a hundred. That was high for the city

of that size. The only reason we wasn't considered the homicide copolt racles because we didn't have a hundred thousand. It was just at like ninety. And when you got you got once you had those, they only gave cities over a hundred thousand. They are the only ones that the f b I gave reports on. We always kept the census down. So, um, do you remember the most

homicides that Compton had? I think it went up to like one ten on one twenty a couple of years Yeah, that was like, um, I was doing your crack air days um in the mid nineties or something, and the most homicides l A had in one year was like a thousand, a little over a thousand. Now it's like

right under three hundred, and you know, it's weird. A lot of people think that the crack cocaine epidemic contributed to the highest homicide rate in Los Angeles, but let me see if I have here now, it mainly had

burglaries and stuff like that. Look, the two highest years for homicides in Los Angeles was actually and eighty pre dates when the starting it was like eight it was starting, but the rock then really hit hit like we're just rocking cocaine up in nineteen eighty man, little just starting maybe free basing, not not rock. We was how you gonna champ? I think you got your day from so we don't gotta say. Eighty three, eighty five, eighty six, seven, y'all was big in it then. But then Nika was

smoking on SERM in eighties, seven, nine, and eighties. Yeah, they were smoking Shane. Yeah, cocaine did the neighborhood there. Red I just had someone look up the number of homicides and Compton two thousand eighteen, twenty one homicides in Compton two thousand eighteen, and the population is ninety seven thousand according to that to that good, and it used to be like probably down on county wide. Then oh,

it's absolutely downcount. But that of shows the dramatic drop used to be around a hundred now it it was. It was twenty one last year in jail. Yeah, but every generation bird's new killers. Yeah, but they Yeah, so I guess the three strike is working on No, I wouldn't give it to the right. And the Los Angeles peak was eight with one thousand eight and then in the year of the Riots one thousand ninety two, and

now l A is at like to ninety. So imagine going from over a thousand murders a year now we're at two ninety. But let's look at our parking reck budgets and how many baseball fields and all of that we have because we don't put all our resources and our money into law enforcements and then took away from all the park of r parker um wreck um programs. Yeah, we need more parks and red programs. We need more

baseball programs. I was listening to someone said that Campanella used to have the most incredible baseball program, and everyone's over used to come there and play baseball. South Park Ship because I was park at the best Jackie Robinson stadium. I heard. I heard they had a good football program, and I've never seen a football program in Jackie Robinson. The football that was a great compl Okay, we had football greater Compton and then one. I don't know nothing

about that. I didn't play all that stuff. You busy worry about rocking up. You weren't playing any sports. Gang banging even when you was ten eight nine, ten wasn't gang banging. I was tanning up stuff. I know you was knocking out school teachers over there, and I didn't knock out or slapped or bust the nose. Okay, that's pretty much kicked the school district. All right, let's move on to another question here. Um, you know this is this is really an interesting question. This is for you, James.

This comes from Spain. Someone from Spain. This is from Foulow. It's from Foolow from Thing. If I wanted to start a mab Piru chapter in Madrid, could you travel here and help us establish it. Well, I was thinking one way when you first mentioned that to me, but then you said they're not on the game bang and tchip like here, no they're not. Help them start a charter, don't. I'm not. I think I'm shining and running away from that because that's not the life I'm trying to live.

I'm not trying to portray that part of that side. Because you're thinking of ma Piru from the Compton perspective, you could be the one that changed the direction of the mab Piru brand. No, but I can't go out there and then try to tell them something like they want something good. What is it they want? I don't know. They want an identity, that's all about. That's what it's all about, whether it's if you even in Compton, it's all about I want to belong to something. I want

to be a part of something. I want to identity, whether it's the boy Scouts or my Piru Where why don't you go let me shut it up and we don't have a conversation with him. Maybe we can go out there, you take pictures and do the interview, and we can talk to those guys and try to figure out what this is something that Alex and James are doing right now because Reggie right, don't want international interpool proof, not about any criminal actor, because not every gang member

is pushing Nipsey Hustle six crip. He was pushing rap t shirts marathonus. So this is what we need to do. We need we need to have gangs in the next paperwork here? Why why why are you here? They got paperwork on you. You know, to a certain extent, you're always gonna stick to the g code. But that don't mean that we can't take gangs in another direction exactly. You know he was, he was then y'all read the New York Times yesterday. What did they to say? What

they were about the victims? They wanted that they want that strip mall they want because they had They were tierating that location, the Marathon Clothing store, and they told the landlord, y'all get rid of him. We're gonna take your property from you. But that that's the police. The police are gonna come and check whatever. You know what I mean. They used that as an example. They did our motorcycle club like that. You know, I got a lot of blacks hanging out and they're kicking in their

gay clothes. But they consider you a nuisance. So they go to the city. You know, here you go this little cat doing that. You might as want shut every month. Everything that it was come on over asessive. It was an assessive of gang activity going on at that strip mall. I'm just responding to the man thing that Nipsey was an angel and no one called everybody change. I'm just saying was taking his thing to a different level, his

thing in another direction. And that's why I said, get at those guys and see what they actually really wanted. They knew what they was. They were having assault victims, and they were at the point where they were trying to evict the man, and he said, okay, never mind, let me get some investors. Landlord, don't evict me. I want to buy the place from you. So what's wrong with that? Nothing? But then they was about to take it from him. No, I think Nipsey really represents what

every gang should have. Every gang needs a Nipsey hustle, Every gang needs an investor, every gang needs someone that's on a business level. And I truly believe that because you're never gonna get rid of gangs Reggie. We've had gangs in American after. This is all about what you do with it, exactly, And obviously we thought he was doing one thing with it, when it's coming out that he wasn't. I don't think it was tolerating another culture. The problem is he can't control everyone in the circle,

and we can't blame him for what he did. The guys do outside to give him a location to cultivate that. Hey, it's the starting point. And as as he would have evolved, he was only what thirty three years old? Ask you, where's the starting point at? Man? If he didn't start there, where's the starting point? We're just going about where we've been hearing and stuff like that on YouTube and all of that. I'm just telling you what. The report just came out in the New York Times. New York Times. Yeah,

I believe the report. Have you read the New York Times report? I don't. I don't read exactly. That's what I thought. I don't do that. That type of stuff. I ain't got chopped. But to listen to what they put in there, whatever they write down, it's not believable. Everything is not believable. Everything. Yeah, everything I read the article. And actually the guy that wrote the article was on l A radio today and he actually said that he

had some mixed feelings about Nipsey. He said, yeah, Nipsey was doing some good things, but yeah, they wanted to take this this prop property. But I don't know if they would have been successful at doing that. I don't think the abatement, but it was this double standard to me where they were about to meet with him and was promoting real big how they was about to have this big meeting with him. Why another branch of the department was investigating even was trying to take this property.

I just thought that to be interesting. But I think we should look at gangs in the future as entities that could expand and entrepreneurial pursuits. Wouldn't it be great to have a group of guys in Madrid, Spain that will help you distribute T shirts and maybe print them for you or be your European distributor. I mean, there's all kinds of things that that having satellite identities throughout the world can do. They have nothing to do with

criminal activity exactly. If you can get that, if that's what they want, well that's where you gotta start. That you gotta start with the young kids. Man, if you just say for answers, if you had a whole lot of these guys with the same mentality as Nipsey, and you're going in the in the neighborhood and you're grabbing the kids and you're teaching these kids some type of skills, going to places like Spain, Madrid and and teaching them this, then you you if you if you get that point yourself.

But we're not even doing it in our backyard. We're gonna go across this. I'm just saying I started here and then I go there, and it has to be done somewhere. If it don't, then everybody steal sitting on the same old shan your backyard before you're gonna try to clean up somebody else backyard. Well, I think Reggie, you you have this belief because we're in l A. Compton watch that gangs are always going to be involved

in some conflict and some negative activity. But I went to Houston and interviewed gangs that have l a names and them dudes ain't even banging, They just chilling. And I get criticized for interviewing these guys. They say those aren't real gangsters. They're not They're not putting in work, and I'm like, why do you have to be putting in work in order to have this identity? These guys in Houston, they love claiming whatever they want to be. Let's say ma par Rous in Houston, but they're not

about banging on each other. It might not be Barbanian, but they're expecting somebody from the ma par rule in Confuta to be bringing some pills, some weed, some drugs and not at all criminals. Now let me that's what it does. I'm on the diving right now for that. From from some great street nigga to some great niggas and Memphis you put in the game goes, well, I know what's going on, and I can try to play and I act like it and put it a halo over this yet, but that ain't what it is. I

know what's going on too. I travel to all these cities. You know, I interviewed it, and they're gonna give you their version or what they're trying to propetray at that time. But that ain't what that that that that thing is about, James, No, we gotta factor that the area I grew up in I'm not a member of the mahapae rule in New Jersey. You don't have in New Jersey. Detroit, Kansas City and and the ones I'm talking about in Detroit ain't know no game. But wait a minute, I'm trying to change.

You're talking about from New Jersey. I mean that's in Detroit. Who I'm talking about, Brian Calvin BC. Are you're talking about Biggie. No, I didn't even know Biggie was in Detroit. Big you talk about you an't talk about? Okay, thank you? Well, I mean, but I mean, but but no, But I think Reggie, you're right. There are some of these gangs and other cities in the US that are on that gang banging tip. What But you just made me mad because every every gang banger ain't know I waited. I

ain't said that. I ain't never said that. I ain't never said that. I ain't said they're not waste of ship. I said that, But I'm saying about that. There's no hope for it. I noticed. I've been in, and I'm in and and and there's hope. Everybody. Everybody got a chance, everybody got over, there's a way out. Everybody everybody got a way out. But I'm saying, before we're talking about going up Spain and teaching that one way, we gotta do it. Do it over here and Compton before we

were talking about branching out that someone. The main thing we have to do, man, is get our mind out of that out to get it and then stay. We can help each other instead of bashing each other on every topic comes up about being black. Feel me, we gotta stop beating each other down, like like we just we're not gonna get nowhere because we can't get in nowhere because it failed for me. Just because it failed

for me, I can fix it. Everybody got time, and it got a chance and a choice, And we don't have to stay stuck on beating each other down and and and matching each other when one try to climb. I've been to kill a sneaking because he ain't looking out for me. That's the ship we gotta get away from. If we get away from that and start helping each other. No, I'm just saying, we gotta help each other get to

the point. That's the topic. We're talking about. Taking these kids and getting putting them to Now we gut them to a different hit you up and saying that you they want you to come up there and opening up a fact went from that after after you explained your situation, and then you tell about what what what the networks doing, what the game networks are doing. But that's not the case in all instances throughout the country. So the guys

in here to where did they claim they got? There's at least ten one of them is Fortray gangster crips. And what are they doing doing bike bike toy giveaways. They're rapping, They're going to the clubs. They're hanging out there doing regular regular things that late teams, early twenties guys do. And they're fascinated with l A gang culture. And they and they claiming this and and and have no other connection. And the l A dudes, it ain't the dude that came from l A that came out

there and set them up. They just know a guy did a guy did go out there and created that identity. A bunch of these other Houston dudes follow them and it exists there. Now are they get And here's an interesting thing? And they called Hill big homie. Yeah, But in l A there there are alliances and rivalries. For example, the sixties and the eight Trades don't get along, right, or Bloods and Crypts don't get along, or specific gangs like let's say the Five Dudes Broadways and and the

Four Trade Gangsters don't get along. When you go to Houston, you see the five Dudes Broadway and the four Trade gangster chilling one or two guys that went out there. They commuted out there, but their brothers they've been killed like like that. They have different history, exactly different to their history. And all of that was done quick. Now stop because people start realizing, Oh, that's Reggie, right, the one that it has something to do with my brother

getting killed. That's that's James. That that I've been talking about, MoMA, but not need two truths did not last because all they did is had conversation. And with that conversation, all they did is drinking. Party. Ain't nobody gonna get nothing right if all you're doing is drinking and partying. But the main reason, no conversation and no way to fix. But but that's and it came right back because of drinking.

I did an interview with Chris Blanchard, and I told him it wouldn't gonna work because all these dudes is partying. They're not thinking about trying to have some that was trying to do stuff just like you have some guys. I was trying to do something. You need they unify CC writer from that, right, And what did that it that didn't understand my point that they tried. They it wasn't drinking when they was that comfet high school had I didn't say I didn't go to the game, mean,

so I don't know that. I wouldn't know what the video tape of it. What I'm saying is the time, Okay, I understand, so I know what was going on. It wasn't no drinking and smoking and stuff going on. What I'm saying, what I'm saying to you is while those cats and everybody going to different neighborhoods and hanging out and Bloods over here kicking it with the Crypts, everybody

were drinking. What comes with drinking attitude. Nobody is sitting back with the with the right state of mind saying, man, we need to fix this. And this is how nobody had a plan. So without a plan, you can't fix nothing. So if everybody step up. Now I ain't talking about out of the out of the UH ninety two rids, they formed c C rodders. Is that an accomplishment? No, you just you just open you said, this is what happened,

and this is why it didn't work. And I just do an example of they wasn't just drinking and all of that. They tried it. They just started realizing who who was and they got mad at each other and they started going back at each other that it didn't work. It didn't last. Um, yeah, but it's not always gonna

work the very first time. It's a great first step and it actually laid the foundation for all the gang intervention programs and all the o g s now that are working for GRID Gang Reduction youth development program They don't the young game and don't respect none of them. And they call them snitches, that's fine. They called him wrap, that's fine. But they're still in the hood. The ogs are still in the hood. They don't respect them. They tell him get away from me, and he works for

the police. Well, I don't think all of them getting that back. There's there's a there's a GRID GRID representative from at least gangs in l A right, and they're part of softball leagues, And it's the movement, it's a it's a beginning of a movement. And I think two the Truth of ninety two was a good first step. I mean, we don't expect for how how long is it gonna take for for the Palestinians to start getting along with the Jews over there in the Middle East?

How many times has a US president went over there to try to broke her peace? Do we do we give up? Do we just say never go again? You know they're each other. Yeah, but I mean you still got to continue the peace talks if that's really what you have in your heart. I don't say give up. I don't say let's just take a dump on what happened in ninety two. In fact, we saw the first dropping in gang crimes since since eighty four, So in

almost ten years. First you four or five good months a nikkas just hanging out and drinking and partying, and calls and havocs in the area to the liquor stores and all of that that was around there, and a lot of other cities that wanted to do the same thing, called up people in Watts, called up at and saying hey, we want to try to emulate with you guys. Yeah, and it was a problem. I was working the law

enforcement and it was a problem. What they'll do is just hanging out and know that they was taking over streets, blocking people couldn't go to work, the good people, the working people couldn't even get them go to work out hanging out the departments and all of that until five six in the morning, drinking and all of it, and blocking the people cars in and all of that, and they couldn't even leave. They couldn't even go anywhere. It was a problem. And that's that's something that should be

identified and fixed for future discussions. I mean, that's not a major thing, but yeah, we gotta figure out, Hey, guys, don't don't fill up, don't put all your cars over here. Walking down the street on his way to work and getting jumped and beat beating out the debt. But to have bounty hunters, p J. Watts, grape streets, Hassie in the village all together at the table, plus all the other surrounding sets, that was monumental. That's that's a good start.

But you gotta continue doing what you set out to do. You can't stop trying to find peace in a way that to connect with the homies. Because everybody know you're tired and you ain't got no money, and you're drinking and getting high today, you're gonna resort back to the same ship. You're gonna go right back to the same old ship. So how do we incorporate getting programs and shipped to healthy youngsters and teach them something other than

what they're doing now. And if you if I learned a skill the craft that pay me and I'm only fourteen years old and I can make money, I see something different. I see something different. So these older guys, these guys that that's making money in their neighborhood, should invest in some type of facility to no trade centers out there, no no no trade tech schools and stuff like that out there. They might be in the wrong place though where they over there. And you know, you

gotta make something, you gotta have something news. But if you take off that and put on a uniform, people probably pretty much won't know where you're from and what you're about. You know, I don't think it's hard. I suel have got my grandfather. Every everybody on eighty one on that block knew how to do breaks, knew how to do breaks, uh, dry wall, all of that. My uncle's still on his job, the same job my grandfather gave him fifty years. Fifty years. That's good from learning

a trade. Yeah, working at Tiger I mean, uh not Taguards still, but Albert and Albert. But they wanted to do it. And it's year old young men working at pep boys now. But what did they do. They went to the trade schools. They took advantage of the programs is out there. And I munderstanding. We we we um give people like a pass for not wanting to go and do the trade centers or or the trade schools and stuff like that. I said, there, we're so stuck in. I ain't working for nine fifty a job as a job,

you work your way up. This is what we ain't understanding, because the homies are you're working for man, Go get your job, work, learn something, and the next time you see me, I'll have something. We don't want to do that. Uh. We too proud to pick up cans and and turn it in. We're too proud to We'll get at at at cars, juniors. You ain't gonna see no black man the cars juniors. I ain't gonna do that. But how do you get what you want if you don't start

from the bottom. And this is what we gotta understand. So let's practice and preach that instead of saying fuck it. So you're down to go to Madrid. I'm down to go anywhere where I can help. But that's my whole thing right now. It's just man, I'm gonna speak my mind and I'm gonna be honest. All right. I'm gonna I'm gonna reach out to Paolo and tell him to fly us out there because I want to come. I want to go. I'm sure Reggie won't. I can't go. Reggie can't think that would be a good thing, man,

a good thing. Go to Madrid and talk to the youngsters over there, and well, you see, you don't want from kids to a guy that hits you up on the internet. He never said to come and help. Well, listen, let me let me finish it. He says, Um, if we wanted to start a mob par rou chapter Madrid, could you travel here to help us establish it? What is about kids? I'm sure, I'm sure he's a youngster. I'm sure he's a youngster. When you think this guy is fifty years old? Why can't this be a male club?

I gotta be my part. Why you know, I don't know what what I have in store for him. I know where you check us out. But now I'm gonna I'm tuning you out. Man. You O G Jameson from MA from Ma Paru. I thought you was coming out here to teach me how to do You out here coming out here talking about peace of love, and then we had never seen each other. No more, I'm on the flame. I'm almost certain being interested in no sort of criminal organization at all. I mean, I've I've met

so many of these dudes around the country. Um, some of them are, some of them want to want to learn. One of this is somebody I've been hearing about and doing this. I want to know, come help us for I'm not here to promote. You tell them that, but think about it. The people who are on that level, then they may strip you down, rob you. The ones I want to slang those put on that level. You think they're gonna send me a d M saying established us from New Jersey though, huh? You just talking about

the Nicks from Houston. They do right, here, they only thousands of the majority of started new champions. Is the guys that the town. It's a dude that came from l a man, we did it from San Bernardino, right, yeah, alright, Well I don't think every all these guys and all these networks are involved in in nefarious activities. I think some of them just are in there exactuated with Los Angeles. Yeah, and the mentality of the dudes that they if they've

been listening to James. Now, if they've been listening to James as Paolo has been doing, he understands what his mentality is. Hopefully this guy James said, call them find out and so we may even be all James actually do is called because and if he's don't know, I want to be a fashion of the mob part rule and this then then from that, but why to James or something like that, because he's because to the Gangster Chronicles and it's his favorite podcast. Go ahead, James, what

other mab partugi gonna act that of exactly? That's my point, you don't know, but one point, and why I want to be like him. I want to be like and that's my whole thing. And that's what I'm not promoting you have I know that. I'm just saying, well, hisn't it you're attending his attend is two different things. No, it's not. I don't I don't think this. We don't know, we don't know if he's d m in me the way he is from Madrid, a city that has a very low crime rate, very low gang um presence. What

what do you think he want to drying? So here's the thing. A lot of guys throughout the world copy l a culture, but they're not connected to no one from those neighborhoods. So now to be officialized or to be legitimate, you have to be connected to someone that's from that community. So he wants to be able to say I'm a ma piru, I'm a real ma paru because James McDonald came here. I agree, I believe that's why. I mean, he don't really need James create piru out there.

And if they basically the same way is when I was in the motorcycle club, how would gather chapters? You know, people call us and hit us own Facebook or Internet or whatever or going through the chosen through website and what they do is acts. Can they be members of Chosen Few. We didn't have some cats that that are Chosen Few, but they wear different patches that came to us and converted to our patch. You know what I'm saying, put on the red patch of post to the white

and blue. So what they're saying is the same thing we had chosen. You got over fifty chapters now that that that that I just found out. So you've got a lot of people all over this place that the farthest I think is the Philippines. And you've got people all over these places want to be a part of what they doesn't serve it on the internet and say, damn, they've been here sixty years and they take black s, white Mexicans and everybody, and they still going and and

and then you have it's the same thing. Actually it's the same kind of the same thing, and it's the exact same kind they want to be a part of my pu. Now y'all comparing Ma Paru to uh, I'm not compared you like you don't be understanding how many I'm saying the same. I'm saying that you wanted to listen to what what what I'd be responding too. I'm responding to what Alex just said, the same same concept it is, but just and how many people call Chosen

Few a gang. How many called Chosen Fewer criminal organizations the club? But they also have outlaws put put on their pets as well, you know what, I allow it, okay, but not all Chosen fuels out there involving. And then that's my point. But ma par rules not my mom par rouses. I'm looking at one right now. He don't claim but because he had to, he does own that because he don't want to be associated to what the ma par rous still stands for. But he still he

does owned it. In my view, they bad in him because he's fast. I'm not a part of that no more. I'm not about that no more. He's not about the bs that he won't even refer to himself as Mom Jane. I know I'm like this. I cannot contradict myself saying that I'm done with the situation and I'm not like some of these guys say they're not affiliated no more. But you still see him doing this and this and all of that us ship. I'm not gonna do that. I'm solely trying to get rid of the name Mom

James just so crazy. Yeah, I can't because everybody comes and I've been dealing with this for the longest. Uh in the in the supermarket, Mom, that's mom, James, and Uh at the beach and then and and to swap me. I mean, I've been dealing with that and I gotta get away from it. But I refused to sit in and promote the mob, par Route mob, any anything else that that that's not associated with me. So nobody has to worry about this guy right here in the neighborhood

hanging and doing this. If I do a pop up, I do a pop up in our bounds. You know what I'm saying, and know hanging and kicking and drinking and doing all that. I'm past that. I'm past that. I'm on something different. But if I can bring something different to Madrid, to the Philippines, to cats and watch and they want to sit down and listen to what I gotta say and how it should be, man, let's roll, Let's do it. That's what I'm talking because the want,

if that's what they want. My Piru is a gang, but also my Paru is a community, and I'm not make a distinction between every every hood is a gang and a community. There's the guys that grew up there and we just rolled through there the other day. We rolled through the ma Paru community. He hung out wood would and walk and and they. But I don't think they're putting in the work. They ain't doing no shooting, but they they might be getting in no cars and nothing,

but they ain't. They ain't disassociated from the hood. But that's what I'm saying. They haven't because they're not. They're just trying to. But these people were reaching out to him because they I don't think they understand that he has Well we're gonna find out. I'm gonna do some more research on Mr Powelo from Spain.
