Something is fishy maybe those who know the law can chime in but why would mc Eiht said hisawyers told him to just tell the truth that he received money to play a film since he wasn't in dudes street activity and that he always accepts cash to rap anyways. Pleading the fifth is something I d like a coli with law knowledge can chime in cause he wasn't in the court room and someone mentioned that pleading the fifth is not applicable the way many folks think, then again I don't want to be part of that street shenanigans....im outYOU NEVER HEARD OF PLEADING THE 5TH?
HE LEGALLY DIDNT HAVE TO SAY shyt.
HE KNEW HE WAS PAID WITH DRUG MONEY.
WHAT DID LISA RAYE DO?
Yeah, they were in the video together at Nate Dog funeral.@Southside Swangin
Same dude Cyco who was mad at Eiht, is in the video at the 1:15 mark. Funny how that go. Mad at you one minute, then in your video later on.
You know Eiht not from Tragniew Park. He from another Crip hood but claimed the park. He from the opposite side of Compton. That's probably why Dogman aka Cyco probably said what he said.Yeah, they were in the video together at Nate Dog funeral.

Sounds like Jojo hot cuz he didn't get a permanent spot on Gangster Chronicles and is trying to get Eiht's spot. I don't know what the truth is, but it sounds like the following is the issue. The book states Eiht pointed the finger at Rodney Ellis who was Hill's right hand man. Eiht admitting payment from Ellis assists the prosecutors with establishing a general idea of the amount of money Hill was having laundered.
United States of America, Plaintiff-appellee, v. Robert Daniel Ward and Rodney Ellis, Defendants-appellants, 211 F.3d 356 (7th Cir. 2000)
Drug trafficking provided Hill with sizable profits which he used to purchase homes, cars, boats, and, eventually, a four-engine JetStar aircraft. Hill also sought legitimate business opportunities through which he could launder his drug proceeds. One of these businesses was Pocketown Records, a record producing and manufacturing business formed in 1993 by Nate Hill and Michael Jefferson. At Hill's direction, Rodney Ellis, a cousin to Hill, participated in the operation of Pocketown Records. Ellis managed Pocketown's daily operations and financial activities. Pocketown's expenses were paid primarily in cash. For example, no salary checks were issued; instead Hill handed out cash payments to Pocketown workers. On several occasions, Ellis transported large amounts of cash from Chicago to Pocketown, which was located in New York, and at other times, Ellis received deliveries of cash from other Hill employees. Ellis prepared false records for Pocketown in an attempt to justify the influx of cash to the business. Ellis also provided inaccurate information to the accountant who was preparing Pocketown's 1993 tax returns. Ellis then signed the falsified return and filed it with the IRS. Ellis later became involved in another of Hill's business ventures, the production of a motion picture entitled "Reasons" which was based on Hill's life story. Ellis played a limited role in the "Reasons" production, unsuccessfully attempting to persuade a recording company to produce the soundtrack for the film.
Alternatively, Ellis contends that the district court's finding under sec. 2S1.1(b) (2) that the value of funds laundered exceeded $2 million was unsupported by the evidence.4 The district court arrived at this value by holding Ellis responsible for (1) $750,000 to $1 million laundered through Pocketown in 1993; (2) $1.5 million laundered into the JetStar aircraft, a seventy-two foot yacht, and a speed boat which accompanied the yacht; and (3) $1,107,000 laundered through "Reasons." At sentencing, Ellis challenged the inclusion of the amounts relating to the plane, the yacht and speed boat, and "Reasons." On appeal, Ellis challenges only the district court's valuation of Hill's investment in Pocketown and the inclusion of amounts relating to the yacht and accompanying speed boat.
Eiht states he was paid in cash, probably by Ellis. Feds ask whether Eiht received $100,000 from Ellis, he replies yes. Prosecution includes that money as part of the total sum being laundered. I can see why someone would label that as telling, but I can see Eiht's side too as just simply admiting to having accepted payment for services rendered. Here's the thing, you admittedly finance a movie with a significant budget and with a popular rap star as the lead. I even remember promo ads for the film in The Source. Now you want people in the movie to deny payment? If the feds asked Eiht whether he acted in the movie, would you expect him to say no? Or plead the fifth?
Because it’s notThis doesn’t seem like snitchingbut I dunno

Supreme from Queens allegedly bankrolled a film in that era and I think he ran into similar problems.

By coincidence, it starred A-wax's dude, Caine.
based on Donald Goines film.
Film either ran into roadblocks because of Supreme, or it was brought up when the Feds went after him years later.
Does anybody remember?
Roughly same era as the film being discussed here. Saw ads for it, but never saw it in dvd spots.I dont remember that one.

Watched it a few years later on YouTube. Average hood flick.
By coincidence, Caine and Chauncey were both in it, and were great. Mostly everybody else was an amateur, and it showed.
