"Branson is widely credited with starting the craze, and his name has been mentioned in more than 60 songs over the past two decades."

So you mean to tell me this nikkas name been lingering around for two decades about pumping weed throughout the whole NYC and this nikka remains untouched by the boys ?

The more I started to hear his name I assumed that Branson was just code, an inside thing among heads in the know in NYC

Once I found out Branson was a real person, who went by that name, and really had all those spots, I figured dude had to be a Fed or high level rat

Branson can't be his real name tho. Cops were prolly on a goose hunt. You really think the cops got warrents and went kicking in doors looking for Branson cuz biggie and Redman said his name

What kinda bud was this guy selling? I'm fascinated by the wild jungle of the days before the emergence of the medical marijuana industry. Cultivation, breeding (outside of Amsterdam which was the center of the cannabis seedbank industry) was all underground. In many area finding good bud was like finding a mystical unicorn.

In NYC good bud was sold for up to $800 an ounce . . I want to know more about that bud. I want to know about the days when an abandoned warehouse in NYC (the priciest real estate in the world) was rented out to an illegal grow operation.

When the days that finding a good source was like finding a lucky pot of gold

If you like any of these thoughts feel free to interview me for an article, there's more of them

NYC is draconian . . stop and frisk is an immoral measure invasive to civil liberties. It is why to this day NYC is the where the most marijuana arrests occur

Branson is the 'Kato' of drug references.

Ya I'm sure this dude was pumping bud throughout the city. I just don't think Branson was a real name and a few quotes from rappers isn't enough for an investigation, back then atleast. Now the hip hop cops would be all over him
