Yep. That Hip Hop cops book talks about the A-team and their connection to the NY entertainment industry. If you go to google books and search inside it for "a-team", you can read a good amount of the info on them.

Pac isn't from LA but has spent enough time to know what was up. Just because he was a casualty of it don't mean he didn't understand it. If that's the case everyone who died gang banging just didn't understand it. Have you spent time around gangs? I have, it doesn't take years and years to get an understanding of. lol

Ice-T had/has Rollin' 60 cats doing his security btw. There is a good video on streetgangs youtube page with Homie mentioning it.
im just telling you what ice t said; Pac was in over his head with the gang shyt

I agree with that but that's different from not understanding it. Pac went to the Crips on Treach's behalf when Treach had beef too. Just more evidence to show Pac had a decent understanding of gang ish.

Pac never banged a day in his life. You cant fully appreciate what youve never done. Thuggin and gangbangin are not the same

HELL fukkING NAW. U pay this nikka Thutty Rackz n u could spend 2 weeks in Cali doing like 20 shows/appearances and come off set for the next 3 months.

This retarded nikka Suge shoulda had a West Coast Mgmt contract for these artists when they perform n use studios. Or he shoulda just got him a stake in artisists California performances in exchange for California security n "escorts". Dudes wanna be the mob n don't realize this is what the mob does now. U just make the WC venues EXTREMELY INHOSPITABLE on both paper and in the street, to those artisists who refuse. Like a union. A West Coast Tour Mgmt Union.

I'm saying tho, if you got the muscle and you finesse it right you can make it look completely legitimate.

While a prosecutor well definitely exaggerate and manipulate circumstances to their advantage, it's not like they can outright LIE to the judge….and, I don't know why anyone who follows this would question whether Suge was involved in extortion and 'taxing' rappers, athletes, celebs…..They tied in an OG Crips shot caller…it's likely they had a partial case already, based on statements, surveillance, testimony, whatever. In theory, this is how it works, I will use the OG crop mentioned as a microcosm for the larger picture, Suge is the tie in from the street to the rapper/celeb/athlete, because he is a failed/pseudo celeb himself, and you see dude everywhere, posing for pictures, whatever. And he has a certain charm to him, and an incredible legacy in the culture and the industry….so the unsuspecting, who don't know that at heart the 'Big Homie' Suge is just a low rent, near sociopathic gangster who is only loyal to himself, fall into the trap.

Before you know, Suge is in the club with you, Suge is at the after party lounge with you, Suge is in the suite at the after after party…he's hooked into you, and then it starts with the way things work in LA, sometime subtle, or not so subtle. Suge taps his OG Crip contact, who in turn taps his torpedoes, who will make their presence known. Just swap out the OG Crip for any gang member OG in the whole fukking city, who will work with Suge. Thats how extortion works at that level, it's not like they have to wire a 30k fee before they touch down, it's a slow, long con, carried out by a washed up, desperate man, who has been running these types of low life hustle since he fell the fukk off, back when George W Bush was president…..He's a bottom feeder.

And heres how you avoid the trap, you don't' fukk with Suge, at all. He's persona non grata, stay the fukk away from me, don't come to my table, don't shake my hand, no pictures no drinks….keep the trash where it belongs. But, people want to think this dude is their friend. He's an extortionist and a bully, he's the dude turning out the guys fresh on the tier in the pen.
