On how he was able to manage over 1000 drug dealers that were under him during the 1980’s
Well you know, you have to have an attitude of caring about people. I mean when I tell that to people they are like “Ah man! You sold drugs! How can you care about people?”, but you really do have to care about people. What a lot of people don’t understand is that when I first started selling drugs, I didn’t understand the negatives effects of the drug. Only thing I knew is that every time people would get ready to go party, they wanted to be high. So I related it to having fun and it was a while before I found out the negative effects, but I really really genuinely love people.
On how he treated the people that were under him during his drug dealing days
If somebody robs you or steals your dope, a lot of people would go out and kill em’. I didn’t look at it like that, because when I started a business, I vowed that I would never hurt anyone over money. And I believe that that helped me to stay out of prison right now.
How he kept people loyal to him
You know when my guys would go to prison, I would try to go out and I would try to get the best attorney I could. I would try to bail them out of jail immediately, and do all the things that they needed to put their life back on track, because that thats the way I would’ve wanted for somebody to do for me.
