    ❤️ this story of Gene getting put in his place; it’s legend. He bullied so many of people. For every bad ass, there’s always somebody badder.

      💯 Even Suge Knight had his limits. Most bullies are low key cowards

    Real regconize Real. There are Levels. Gene had Andre shook. Underwood leaned on Gene .. All Gene could say, "it was all a misunderstanding " Gangster Class 101. Thanks Andre, for the Master Class and the honesty .

    It wasn’t only Gene that taught Suge, it was more so Dick Griffey, the owner of Solar Records. That’s a fact!

      Dick got sick of Suge's ass and put him and his company off the premises. If should would have paid attention to Dick, he'd probably still have his empire. I knew before Solar Records, when he was a concert promoter. Always powerful, but stayed behind the scenes. Checkout the interview with Virgil Roberts and Vlad. Virgil was president of Solar.

I asked him what's his next move and can I be his assistant like puff. he said "hell no I hear that shit every day". lol I was appalled. 😭
