For the record, I know people was waiting on him to mention the Clips drug dealing days. He co-signed what Malice said, Malice said his two cousins ran the projects that they were from so that's how they got into the game. He said he knew the Clips cousins but he said he didn't know what the Clips had going on themselves in their neighborhood because he's not from there.
He knew they cousins because they were on a higher level, closer to the level Geezy got to. Plus, they were older...
When I moved to VB everybody there had the same story, either they don't know anything or they verify Push and Mal were in it for awhile, they just wasn't no heavyweights. I knew a guy who used to kick it with Mal, he was one of the first people I met who told me they were legit. Not some killers, and not some heavyweights, but people who were around they turf in they era all say they had they hands on something...
Bigger nikkas never gonna know most cats doing it on a lower level, but especially if they not from the same hood...
Bridle Creek is in Salem in Southwest Virginia Beach. They did say it was more active back in the days, but it was never really a housing project, just a low income apartment area surrounded by middle class areas. This is Bridle Creek:

Geezy said he grew up in Bayside, which is 9 miles away in Northwest VB, this is a block in Bayside:

You know 9 miles may as well be a world away, you're going to different schools, different social circles, etc. In his own words and according to his indictment, most of the people Geezy was messing with were from his area, Norfolk, or Green Run, which is in another area of Southwest but a little ways away from Bridle Creek...
He in between Mal and Push age wise, so if they were bigger, he woulda known them.....funny thing about this, since I didn't grow up here to see the area firsthand, the only area he named that's still really active like that is "Gang" Run (Green Run). The whole Salem area where Bridle Creek is at is mellow, the way it is today not many kids would grow up there and fall into the streets unless they affiliated with people from outside the area. Bayside is mostly suburban but has hit or miss blocks and is real close to some active ass areas, so it's easy to envision someone growing up there being exposed to the shyt Geezy said he was in his childhood. It's still somewhat sketch. One of my potna grew up between Bayside and Norview...
I miss The Beach, man!
A kingpin doing less time than Weinstein prolly gonna get.
