According to who? MOB James?.From the countless, books, articles, docs I've researched about Tha Row, Mob James never popped up as a person of significance.
I don't doubt he was part of the team, but I think he's buffing up his own importance now that all the real dust kickers are dead, or in prison.Far as the muscle crew, I always
read Bountry was that nicca.Heron was that nicca.Even tho they wasn't "celebs", their names popped.You can call it hood fame or whatever, but their names had lore behind
it.In a world obsessed with lore, you'd have to scrounge the google search engines bottom of the ocean deep to unravel the name "Mod James" pre-Vlad.Nicca went from maybe
kinda sorta a small footnote to main player ever since Vlad gave him a platform.That's suspect to me.He probably brought a few niccaz to Suge in the beginning and that made him
useful, but at the apex, he wasn't one of the key proponents.Like a poor man's Kendrick Perkins turned Shaquille O'Neal/Jerry West all of a sudden.If he was really a chief in the ranks
like that, I think there's a high chance Pac would've shouted him out on To Live And Die In LA.Out of desperation, Vlad the culture vulture flew deep down into the abyss, and plucked him
out.Made him relevant as ever.Mob James got some pop to it now....End of the day, I think he was a nicca who was there in the beginning, but quickly faded into the background, his pockets
stopped getting lined like they used to, started to resent Suge, and despise him even more after his brother Bountry got killed.You can look at the man and tell he struggles with alcohol.That
man's hurting.Vlad's exploiting it to the fullest.
